Not checking in here. I may post stories because my patrons are nice and like ponies. Otherwise out of the fandom, sorry peeps.

Princess Luna rules over her lunar colony, and has no contact with the planet below. One night she finds a feline alien's nightmare and realizes that he has been mistaken for an animal and captured as an exotic pet. She sets out to rescue him, but little does she know that this one decision will set off a cascade of events that will utterly change her life.

I'm *quite* excited to see how this goes! I'm curious as to why this colony is isolated on the moon!

I knew I was going to like this from the description alone, and I was right.

Glad people are enjoying it so far. :twilightsmile:

It's a story about a tiger. I might be a little bias.

8409630
He hehe. Tigers are pretty spiffy, so who can blame you?

The description raises a few red flags for me, but it's written by SPark, so I'll give it a shot.

8409634
It sounds like the worst kind of bad self-insert, doesn't it? Honestly on some level it is, I won't pretend this one is Great Literature, but I'm having a ball with building this AU, and I think at least some good things will happen here.

A futuristic Lunar republic-esqe story by SPark?

*tracking

Damn, okay Dream Tiger cross spieces mating in a Sci-Fantasy setting shouldn't be this alluring. Damn you SPark and your strange and magic talent towards words.

Mwa ha ha ha! :trollestia: (I want a Nightmare Moon emoticon.)

Fascinating. Luna's voice feels a bit off at times, but a couple centuries alone in your moon kingdom will do that to your diction. Or so I assume.

Looking forward to seeing where this goes.

8410864
Centuries of dialectic drift and exposure to the intergalactic community will do that to a person.

Is there going to be an M-rated version of this? The way Luna and the tiger go almost straight to sex each time they meet so far seems really odd writing-wise unless this is porn-with-plot with the juicy bits cut out.

Is Luna being a ruler be significant to the story? The so far it feels like it was included mostly out of sense of obligation, establishing quickly that Luna has no interest in that and giving the impression that you don't either. It's this AU is AU enough that this detail stands out to me as something that might be more natural/interesting to be changed.

Princess Luna rules over her lunar colony, and has no contact with the planet below.

Wait, what? How could that possibly work, given there's contact with even out-of-system places?

Keep in mind, when they do meet, it's always in a dream. All will become clear, it's just going to take a little time.

8414865
Yeah, this is the first short chapter of a novel-length story. All will be revealed in time.

(Also yes, there will eventually be an M rated version, but this first chapter actually contains basically all the sex scenes the story will have for a very long time, so.)

Thank you! I have written a chunk of the next chapter, but it will be a little while before it's up.

FINALLY i've waited sooo long for this!
one of my tops already!

Fantastic work with the "stranger in a strange land" perspective. Stripes Who Hunts the Night's sense of wonder and confusion comes across clear as day, and your portrayal of common objects seen from an intelligent but Stone Age perspective is spot on. Definitely looking forward to more.

Great chapter :)

I wonder how one could pin point a location using constellations. Very hard I imagine. Even if you described in 100% detail 3 very distinct constellations, you would have to start the search for them over again each time from a new location.

To Quote Mary Jane Watson: Face it Tiger, you just hit the jackpot! I can't wait to see how Stripes adapts to living with Luna. But I can totally see a young child being rescued from bullies by him and getting a tigerback ride.

Interesting story

I imagine living under an administrative AI with a sense of humour keeps the Moon from being boring... :rainbowlaugh:

Probably about the only reason Luna hasn't gone totally 'round the bend.

Nice to see an update. Can't wait for more.

Good to see more of this. Stripes is proving to be a fascinating character, as is this instance of Luna. I find myself hoping he can coax her to face her Celestia issues in time.

Who will the sex be between?

8929889
This is the T-rated version, so in this version, nobody.

Nice to see an update. I was afraid the was dead.

8929948
Not dead, not by a long shot. I didn't give Spark a deadline and it's open-ended, so it gets worked on as the Muse strikes her.

Never try to force your Muse... they typically don't like that.

Hm interesting. Let's see where this is going

Nice to get a glimpse of the wider, weirder galaxy. And to get some further insight into this Luna's life. I just hope someone can help her through this Nightmare.

(Also, I'm with Stripes. Why so many people enjoy the byproducts of rot, I'll never know.)

8931212
Never did develop a taste for things of that nature myself, either.

For Stripes though... would you really want to be drunk off your feet and trying to stay in a tree??

8415372
"Short" ... Dang and here I thought this chapter length was generally medium, or average,

9468822
It's all relative. :twilightsmile: Most of my chapters are somewhere within spitting distance of 5k. But compared to probably at least 50k worth of final story, it's still short.

8931742
Ever see animals bite into a fermented fruit? it's hilarious.

Hmmm, this fic should get more attention

That's the nice thing about being able to access the other person's subconscious; it sidesteps all those pesky misunderstanding subplots. Now Luna just has to deal with the xenophilia ones.

good story so far keep going, please.

I'm hoping to see how powerful of a dream shaman he is when Nightmare Moon makes a call into Luna dreams while he's nearby. It'd be great to see the Predator with the ability to manipulate a lucid dream take on the Nightmare.

Honestly Im surprised. Normally I don't care for MLP stories where the characters are human. I think the reason why is because most writers chop out the mythology as well as many other things that make MLP......well, MLP.

I loved this story. I really enjoyed your spin on the MLP universe. It is much more fun to read stories that surprise you by thinking outside of the box, than cookie cutter ones that clamped to cannon. Great world, good characters, and well paced.

Very well done.

Aww, thank you!

I won't spoil the details, but there will be dream shenanigans eventually!

Please update soon.

I kindly demand updates :D

without even having to read (what I will do later with one hundred percent certainty) I still kindly demand more, updates!
:D
