    A collection of stories set in the same Multiverse as Elementals of Harmony. Among other things, you will learn what happened to Address Unknown, how Equestria was made (really), and whether Luna snores.

    A Friendship is Magic: the Gathering crossover, like its predecessor. Reading Elementals first is strongly recommended, as there will be spoilers.

    Categories have been chosen in light of the wide range of tone.

    Mmmmm... Not sure I like how Celestia is the element of cunning. I mean, I GUESS it fits, given how 'cunning' is the only way her actions in the pilot can be described... but she's never used her 'cunning' for anything short of the betterment of her subjects and not so much for personal gain.

    That in mind, can her use of cunning really be considered a 'corrupted' virtue if she's never used it for anything befitting of corruption?

    Agh... now you have me thinking. Y U do this to my brain?!

    Also, How the hell can Pinkie be Discord's MOTHER?!

    Mate, you just answered your own question. It's Pinkie. Asking any more questions will not end well.

    Besides, Pinkie says that she'll be "living this story in a few thousand years" at the end of the last story, implying that she either time-traveled or is immortal.

    Super Harmony Mane Six are pretty ridiculous. Like game breaking ridiculous. Like if it weren't for the fact that I know you are a good writer I would probably stop reading. Luckily I know you are smart and your story will be very awesome. Elements of Chaos are brilliant. Prince Blueblood totally gets Vanity. Gilda could probably get Mischief. Pretty interesting, can't wait for more.

    Warning: Wall of text ahead.

    >>380646 Discord is certainly black-red, but that duality nicely reflects his own. Red Discord is a wacky, trolling, Affably Evil character who does things purely for the lulz. Black Discord is a calculating genius using the clarity beyond madness to solidify his grip on power and undermine those who wish otherwise. The card represents Discord at the very peak of his whimsical inability to give a fuck, more interested in peeling apart his new "friend's" sanity and blindfolded mind control than actually helping with anything.

    >>380883 Collection of stories. Collection. The odds of any particular one being continued are slim... unless you want to take up the gauntlet. :raritywink:

    >>381953 Just as the Elements of Harmony don't have to be nice (see Laughter), the Elements of Discord don't have to be disruptive. As for Celestia's cunning? Consider how ponies, one step up the food chain from grass, are among the dominant cultures of the world, to the point where it is considered easier to move dragons than pony settlements. Meanwhile, there are at least three species of sapient carnivores who could but almost certainly don't prey upon or enslave those ponies. Sure, controlling the sun helps, but the fact that griffins, Diamond Dogs, and dragons haven't been scorched off the map suggests that politics was employed.

    >>399120 To be fair, she did time-travel. Of course, that was also mentioned is the last story, albeit obliquely.

    >>395553 Again, the next chapter will not be a direct continuation of this one. Also, in case it wasn't clear, the Mane Six exited God Mode once Harmony had come to a decision, and they aren't likely to bust it out at any point in the near future. It's not easy holding on to your sense of self while acting as an avatar of elemental harmony. Abuse of this power could lead to one or more ponies being... lost. :unsuresweetie:

    >>399550

    I guess I don't exactly see how that applies in the context you presented it though. If anything that makes Celestia less worthy of the element of cunning in the manner you've described it, since she uses her cunning not for herself or even for her 'chosen race' but then obviously for the betterment of everybody, since as you said, the other three races haven't been scorched off the map. You described the context of the Elements of Discord as 'not so much vices but rather corrupted virtues.' But it can hardly be seen as a 'corrupted' virtue when her cunning is being used for the betterment of everybody on the planet, can it?

    >>399616 That's kind of the point on this take on the "Elements of Discord" trope. They're like the Dark Side of the Force: Powerful, seductive, and easy to lose one's self in, but not automatically evil. Rather than concepts opposed to Harmony, they are Harmony taken to selfish excess, one note in the chord amplified until it drowns out the others. But by itself, a single Element is not exaggerated to an irredeemable degree. Celestia has the wisdom, perspective, and influence needed to embody Cunning while still advancing an agenda for the betterment of all.

    Each Element of Discord is a disaster waiting to happen, but an avertable one. Charisma can champion noble causes. Vanity can be a motivation to improve oneself or to do good work (i.e. as a bolster to one's own self-esteem.) Mischief can lampoon the deserving and dispel a reign of terror. Ambition in the right hands is how revolutions are thrown and tyrants toppled. Chaos is essential for the very existence and continuing development of life.

    Remember, in Chaos are all things, good and bad. Would it not be ridiculous for chaotic artifacts of such power to care only for their darkest expressions? To behave so predictably? Where would the fun be in that? :trollestia:

    On a side note, thanks for bringing this up. I had this stuff kinda-sorta figured out in my head, but you've forced me to concretize it, and it's proving fun. :pinkiehappy:

    Intriguing... You've obviously put a lot more thought into this than was immediately visible.

    Well, now you've got me interested to see where the rest of this is going to go. I'm still a little iffy on Celestia's role as the Element of Cunning, but the way you describe it as well as the role of chaos and the other elements in those contexts is very clever.

    Nikol Bolas is Discord's father, calling it now. Dracoequus kind of implies half-pony half-dragon.

    I really liked Elementals of Harmony and it's good to see there will be more. You are one of the people who can successfully pull off 4th wall breaches, except for when Pinkie addresses being in a story from the inside, that's always cringeworthy. But the matagaming and references were cool.

    I didn't like how Vanity is an element while all the others are totally positive qualities. Maybe if you renamed it to confidence/self-confidence or ego or egoism, which are positive at least from some point of view, like mischief - confidence self-explanatory, ego implies willpower, explicitly always looking for your own advantage in everything is often seen as smart and admirable in it's own way. Oh yeah, and laughter at other's misfortune is schadenfreude, I think it would sound cooled actually.

    >>395553 I have to point out the text doesn't actually indicate that Super Harmony gives them any powers beyond pwning Discord harder. Like, at all.

    :pinkiecrazy: But if Pinkie made Lauren... and Lauren Faust is a human who made My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, but also the Alicorn version of God... Then Pinkie is God's father, which makes Lauren Faust Jesus... which means that Lauren Faust is the second coming of Christ! But in the end it means nothing because if Faust was made by Pinkie and that means that we are nothing more than Pinkie's delusion!

    >>404357 While we're being treated to the full flashback, Pinkie is carefully filtering her retelling for the sake of her friends' continued sanity. Certain details, like Faust's true name, the unintentional nature of her creation, and precisely what Jhoira did to Teferi when he told her he was a father are being withheld for Ditzy and Twilight's protection. They're still getting the important information, just not those bits that would reduce anypony to a gibbering mess. Really, just knowing that Pinkie created Equestria is already pushing it.

    Well, that answers the questions "Where he got where he was" and "Why Ditzy can take him to meet Mother now" in the same sort of way I've come to expect. Also, the strength and special talents of Earth ponies come from the laws Faust established so DT is in for a nasty shock one day.

    This... this nearly froze me in place when I read it.

    ...

    There needs to be images for the ascendant forms of the elements of harmony, and then those images need to be used to make cards. Ditto to the elements of Discord.

    ...

    It's actually scary how much this is similar to an idea I had... an agreement between discord and the elements of harmony at some point... existence requires chaos to make it interesting and worth living, just as order cannot exist without chaos.

    Soo.... every so often, as a kind of holiday, Discord remakes equestria into the form of a videogame! varies by time, and includes AC, Mario universe, etc... and the mane 6/all of equestria have to beat the game to return the world to normal! No permanent damage to anyone... (discord himself said he doesn't physically hurt ponies or turn them to stone) so if someone gets a gameover they go into a frozen sleep state of somekind until the game is won, and life returns to normal!

    In all honesty, I have to wonder why they didn't think of that in the first place. I was considering making a story of it... but quite frankly I found a problem.

    Crossovers like that are everywhere, so there'd be nothing to make them stand out... and I don't have time to write 3 million stories.

    As a writer, do you think I should make a group for that? Do the introstory myself and let members do their own entries? Make a little group for it?

    ...

    Seriously, what do you think?

    Reply 

    >>481558 I'll take these in stages:

    1. I like the idea, certainly. I'd recommend beginning the intro story, mention in author's notes the desire to turn it into a collaboration, and seeing what kind of reaction it provokes. If there's enough support, start the group. If not, you have free reign to do with it what you will.

    2. Thank you, thank you. /egostroke

    3. The stories may have some degree of interconnectivity, but they're essentially one-shots. I honestly never intended to return to the Elements of Discord, but given the sheer amount of questions and speculation about them, I may have to. Perhaps in a story of their own. (Of course, if you want to do so, I certainly won't stop you...)

    I had a feeling there would be multiple Lyras working there. In this one Haruhi fic I read, someone realized that if an older version of Mikuru could be her superior, why wouldn't an even older one be the superior above that. This ended with Mikuru-obaasama as head of the their version of the Time-Space Administration Bureau. I bet the next time you do a Lyra segment it will be her recruiting Pumpkin. That will be an interesting job interview, "Please stop chewing on the application form."

    Wow, a DREAM VALLEY reference! Cool!

    Aw, why do you keep making this series so awesome? I can't even play MagicTG anymore and you keep making me all curious!

    Still, I really wanted to hear about RoseDust the Devourer. I find the recent Fan revivals of G1 to be incredibly interesting, (like check out "The Elements of Harmony and the Saviour of Worlds") and the idea that the Deus Ex Machina Flutter-Ponies of G1 somehow got turned into the Changelings... Well, I've no doubt that's a story I want to hear more of. Just as you made Discord an SUCCESSFUL (!!!) attempt to make a less evil entropy Avatar, perhaps the Elements of Discord... well, perhaps they won't have to be evil either. They just have to BE. After the epic confrontation of course. (Tales of Mystara described the concept of Entropy to be corrupted: Laughter, is the UNCORRUPTED version of Entropy, which breaks normal patterns to avoid stagnation, enabling and encouraging growth)

    I'm a little sad that Crysalis didn't get to hear about the lost legend. It must be horrible to be a queen of what seems like a broken people. (Unlike celestia, Such a short lifespan means Crysalis would struggle to even figure out what's best for her people: less experince at leadership) It seems like learning of thier history might even be a way to start the... i don't know, redemption of the Changling species. It's entierly possible that the Changelings could be integrated peacefully into society, but... well, I like the fact that you've held that balance is important in this story.

    I also would find it REALLY cool if you work in other aspects of G1 which, despite it's many flaws, had conceptually COOL villians. (Tirac, Grogar... *shudder*.) A little fan interpretation goes a long way! Google "where I watch My little Pony" a episode by episode sort of parody/more badass imagining of the whole g1 and all of FiM. Megan, the human hero of the series... heh... Girly as the Character was, she could be a damn heroic plainswalker (I don't know much about them, but it seems from your stories that most plainswalkers still have mortal flaws. Less good and bad, just people with differing veiws and goals. Like, it's easy to imagine a WHITE plainswalker whose philosiphy makes them a tyranical, opressive ruler.)

    Megan as a plainswalker... I hope I don't sound preachy, but I think it'd be fitting that the most pony related Plainswalker after Derpy could most embody the spirit of the series: doing good, fighting evil, but not being naive or loosing one's ideals.

    Anyway, can't wait to read more!

    The Element of Ambition. And Velis Vel is of course the perfect MtG reference for the Wedding Debacle. Also, I wish I could tell Chrysalis that raising the Changelings to their former place is a far more worthy ambition than any feat of arms.

    ... And nice work sneaking the "changeling clause" onto Chryssy's card!

    Lol. I don't mean to muddy up the crossover, but the throwdown between Sarkhan and Address reminds me of things Harry Dresden would do. I mean, going after an insane, dragon-loving and -modable planeswalker with junk mail and stamps?

    >>1182562 I felt I should justify the alicorns I'm springing on the audience of My Little Praetor. Horned, winged OCs are something of a deadly sin in ponyfiction, after all. Showing that these ones have a better-than-average backstory (hopefully) should help me atone for their existence.

    >>1182692 More or less. I made it a bit more complicated than that in order to crowbar all of my various sources of inspiration into a moderately cohesive whole, but yes, Cadence is the primarily red one.

    >>1478950 She has shown up a bit in My Little Praetor. I figured she and her fellow Bureau ponies deserved a bit of time in the spotlight, especially since she's intentionally keeping the spotlight off of them in that story.

    Also, I'm going to borrow a page from Hoopy McGee, author of the excellent Project: Sunflower, and provide an image of full-grown Pumpkin.

    Awesome. I was sorta holding off on My Little Praetor because I was iffy on the darkish content of it (I'm kinda a pussy when it comes to dark content). But it's great to see a character like this, and might I say her cutie mark looks great. :pinkiesmile:

    Also, Project:Sunflower for the win!

    >>1832847 No, I'm afraid I've never heard of that particular Gaiman work. It's simply a play on the Many Worlds interpretation of quantum uncertainty: If anything can happen, it does, just not necessarily in your timeline. Hence, a nearly infinite number of Lyras. And Harpsies.

    Totally unrealistic.  There's no way Ludevic should have been defeated so easily.  He was in an alchemist's refuge, so he could cast all his spells at instant speed. :pinkiehappy:

    I wouldn't be so sure.  Creatures that are so focused on their Wild Hunger tend to not even think once, and their Savagery only Increases when they know that prey is near.  Better run fast, or they'll Gnaw you to the Bone.

    Pro blue. Doesn't matter what you can cast if you can't damage, enchant, block, or target.

    Don't be too sure. Despite her feelings of dread, had Ditzy been able to make travel preparations, she could've easily performed a few artful dodges, then laid down a truly divine reckoning in the increasing confusion.

    I've a terrible track record when it comes to prediction, but I'll take a leap of faith and guess that Sorin is going to use Ditzy to launch a joint assault on his overzealous brethren.  And while I'd like to see our prodigious planeswalker pegasus find more favorable winds beneath her wings, I fully expect you, FoME, to once again outwit my meager imagination and bring this arc to a far more natural end.

    The vast majority of those spells are not native to Innistrad, the one that is almost certainly won't be used by a fugitive from Avacynian authority, and those that have been developed on multiple planes are outside of Ludevic's usual methods. Remember, he's a necro-alchemist. His magic is going to be chemical or pertaining to the creation of unlife (or the reawakening of old life.)

    >>2197461 Well, if you want to stick just to the flavor, Ludevic is in trouble unless he knows how to animate creepy dolls.  If he does, then he's just fine.
