When Kaos accidentally arrives in Equestria, he meets Discord, and they make a deal. If Kaos manages to take over Equestria, Discord will put Skylands in an state of chaos.

Meanwhile, Spyro is sent by Eon to Equestria to stop all this. The only problem is he is sent alone, but needs help. Not long after arriving, he finds another purple dragon. He assumes the dragon is one of is kind and makes a deal with him as well. They must save each other's universes. This can only end well...

THIS STORY IS ON HIATUS DUE TO OTHER STORIES AND REAL LIFE RIGHT NOW. WILL GET BACK TO IT WHEN I CAN.

When writing a crossover, you should introduce the characters. Who the fuck are Kaos and Glumshank?

3701685 You need to know skylanders to know who they are but i guess youre right

3701803 That's the thing though. What if nobody watches Skylanders? Then nobody knows who the fuck these characters are. You should give us more backstory on them. Who are they? WHAT are they?

3701887 I see you've never heard of Skylanders because its a game, not a show. If you don't know what the heck they are, then this fanfic isn't for you. Also this is my first real fan fiction, so cut me some slack here

3701907 There's your problem. You're appealing to a very small audience. The only people who are going to understand your story, are people who've played the game, and let's be honest here, I don't think there's that many who have. However, if you gave us background details on the characters, setting, ect. (Without needless exposition) then you would be appealing to a broader audience.

3701925 I see your point. I didn't want to reveal anything, but I am going to give more info in future chapters. And like I said, this is my first fan fiction, I'm learning from my mistakes right now.

Yes, just work better on describing characters better when they first enter. Not many people outside of your target audience are going to get it, or like it, otherwise.

Practice makes perfect though, I know that.

Giving us details on the characters won't really spoil the plot in my opinion. By locking out a large percentage of readers you're only shooting yourself in the foot. This applies for all crossovers, here's an example:

Kane pressed his fingers together in-front of him on the desk, his face shrouded in darkness. He stared at the picture of Billy D Williams in hatred, his fist raised and poised to strike. He brought it down upon the television, crushing the box into a mess of parts.

We don't know who this Kane guy or this Billy is the author tries to add some detail:

Kane, leader of the most feared terrorist group in the world, the Brother Hood of Nod pressed his fingers together in-front of him on the desk. His face was shrouded in darkness as he stared at the picture of Billy D Williams in hatred. That man was his sworn enemy, a puppet of the Global Defense Inititive who sought to stop his plan for ascension. He raised his fist, the clenched hand poised to strike. He brought it down upon the television, crushing the box into a mess of parts.

By adding in a little detail we can see that Kane is the bad guy (However Swag-tastic he is) as well as his apparent motives. We know that he leads a terrorist group and has a religious-orientated goal in mind.

He hates Billy, a man who works for the GDI, the name implying that they are the good guys. By the use of the word 'puppet' we as the reader gains an insight into how Kane believes that Billy is nothing but a tool and how the GDI is maniputive.

We gather a fair amount of detail about the characters and this really does not spoil anything at all.

3704008 Well... umm... thanks for the example. You didn't have to go through all that trouble to prove your point, but thanks anyways!

I really must be dreaming this.

Can't wait for next chapter!!!!!

Is that my picture that I used for my own fanfic?

3888343 I guess it is. Whoops. :twilightblush: Didn't know there was another Skylander Pony crossover out there, I'll have to read yours sometime!

3897913 You are free to read mine if you like.

3897913 I like your story.  Why does it have down votes?

4242002 Thanks, but I know why it has the down votes. It's a crossover fic, and in order to write on of those correctly, you need to properly introduce your characters and blah blah (read the other comments below). I'm not really sure what I'm going to do with this story right now. I could continue it, but I have no idea where I'll go with it. Not to mention I have a million other story ideas I really need to write down. I'll probably just delete this story sooner or later. Thanks anyway though :scootangel:

4269831 Your welcome. Hey want to check out my story Ace Combat: Divided Feelings?

"It's worth a shot," said Twilight. "Luckily, I know where they are. Let's get them and head to Canterlot!"

"Canterlot?"

I can't help it
