Interview with the Changeling
Closing comments and acknowledgements
This story has been an absolute blast to write. For a long time I held back on trying to write anything, somewhat afraid of rejection and ridicule. I also felt that I had never had that one killer idea to make a story out of. Several half baked ones, but never one that I was able to run with. This one came to me while reading the novel ‘Interview with the Vampire’ by Anne Rice, and it provided me the basis for the original theme and title. From there however the story morphed and altered as I was writing it.
All the comments authors have made about how their characters surprise them throughout their stories make more sense to me now.
Reception for this story had been far better than I could have hoped for on a first attempt at writing prose in over 10 years. I will at some point dust off my other half baked ideas and see if they can be salvaged into a good story. Currently I have three possible ideas.
1. the hijinxs of a vampiric Lyra and Bon-bon, with abilities based on Bram Stokers Dracula, no sparkling emo vamps here. (This one would contain some clop scenes, plus a little bit of blood, and thus need a mature rating)
2. Sweetie Belle gains the powers of Dr Whooves Tardis, resulting in a multiverse fic ala the Sweetie Belle Chronicles: Fragments, but with Dr Whooves and Colgate along for the ride.
3. Cross over fic Combining FiM with the characters of Sam & Max, Freelance police. Max and Pinkie Pie are made for each other.
And finally, the acknowledgements for this story.
WandererD, author of the ‘Three sisters’ series. These stories are what convinced me to actually write my own.
Anne Rice, for providing me the thematic basis for my story.
Edragon, for pointing out grammatical mistakes along the way.
Lauren Faust and Hasbro for creating the world of Friendship is magic. This planet is a better place for it.
And finally, you the readers. Every like I got was an ego boosting validation that someone out there liked what I was doing. You guys are the reason we write.
And so, as always.
Stay Frosty

1336925 titles were just coincidental. no relation between them
EDIT: altered the title of my story slightly to aleviate further confusion.
D'aaaww. So sappy, in a good way of course.
I was kind of expecting a sub-romance between Blueblood and Trixie. The ultimate battle of egos.
Good epilogue. Not to mention a major:
At the end.
Well looks like this is the last time I do this for this story:
Ch.5
as I understand this one of their (is)
After we removed the suppression band from your horn, went all strange, like my sister does when she channels her strongest spells (your eyes went, sisters do)
private fantasy of your (choice)
she shell began to shine
preferring to let other more qualified handle the task of providing love. (either 'others' or other ponies)
Ch.6
That I also spent many months practicing my magic basics didn’t hurt either”. (That and spending)
at once. the two reporters
that you saide you
Good luck with what every you decide on to write next.
1343706 Obligatory sequel setup
as for the Trixie/Blueblood romance, It has been done before, though they are practically made for each other. Still that is what sequels are for.
Characters like Trixie are fun to write. you can make her as beligerant as you want and get away with it, because that was how it was in the show
My next story will be 'Tugging at my undead heartstrings' but that will be a way off yet. (please don't steal the title anypony)
1449431 Yes. But i dont think people should blame her for the Ursa. She didn't bring it to ponyville. People are often much too hard on her...

She will earn forgiveness in this comming story, plus some new cool magic to boot
1451434 I did like how you made her a cappable mage in your story. It's kinda stupid to think a mare who travels equestria alone wouldnt know some powerful magic.

Trixie is an intresting case. some people think that she is weak, and knows little magic. others put her on par with Twilight.
personally I think that Trixie and Twilight are about equal in terms of raw ability, but the fact that Twi has had only the finest in magical education, while little is known of Trixie's origins (Possibly self-taught) gives Twi the advantage, not to mention that the Element of magic may be giving her a sizable boost as well.
1452000 Exactly what i was thinking. It's a good view of polar opposits. They're both reletively equel in power however, Twilight has had the perfect education and endless theoretical knowlege from her studying whereas; Trixie has struggled through life picking up a good amount of practical experience but has been unable to gain access to the knowlege required to effectivly show it. I like to think of Twilight as a solar mage and Trixie as a Lunar mage. She would have made an excellect student of Luna dont'cha think?
1453401 The Sun/Moon relationship between Twilight and Trixie will feature in the upcomming story but in a different way to those reasons suggested, But I've said too much.
Chapter 1 is done but not submitted, will do so later in the week once chapter 2 is well underway.
