So at the end of January, I challenged myself to attempt to write and publish a pony fic a day in February. So how did I do?
Rarity usually trends as my favorite of the Mane 6 ponies for various reasons, but I like to headcanon her as secretly being a super-good fighter who would just laugh at Rainbow Dash and her black belt in karate.
I stumbled across this parody/crossover video a few years ago. Disappointingly, the original video maker made it a private Youtube link for whatever reason, but it's still up. If you want to envision Rarity fighting a giant crab, just think of her being as awesome as she is here.
I'll Have Another. Another fic with Double Diamond and Starlight Glimmer, that is. It's a horse joke
Back at the end of August, I set myself a challenge to attempt to write 31 ponyfics in 31 days.
I failed. Horribly.
Actually, it was more burnout since I wrote 70,000 words in 2 weeks beforehand, but I still managed to get 5 fics done in the first 6 days of August and clear out a chunk of my ideas list, and one of them, To Love is Chaos, even hit the Feature Box and was #1 for about 48 hours.
Generally, when I publish a new fanfiction, I have sort of an idea of how it'll perform. Sometimes it'll take off, sometimes it'll do a middling level of activity, sometimes it'll hop onto the Feature Box for five minutes then slip off, never again to make it back.
The key is, she wasn't banished to the moon or sun: she was trapped along with the Crystal Empire in King Sombra's stasis spell.
So, assuming it was Luna who was locked away (it could be Celestia, but I'll assume Luna here so that I don't constantly have to say 'Luna/Celestia' or 'sun/moon' etc.), this can easily change things considerably during the timeline of the canon show.
I was going through some of my stories today and randomly looking at stats. One of my stories had a few referrals from Youtube, and following that, I was pleasantly surprised somebody did a reading of How Hoofdini Really Did the Moonshot Manticore Mouth Dive!
So thanks to FateMLP and the other VAs.
