A thought occurred to me as I browsed the feature box today. What if crossovers tried changing their formats? Instead of "X character from this franchise is transported to Equestria" or "A pony is transported to X franchise", why not TRULY cross them over, and created a fused world. A world where everyone considers it perfectly normal. Essentially, craft one's own world from the elements of both. One little fic did that once, and I'd say it became somewhat popular. That fic was Fallout:

To my new "Cidershy" watchers, some context. I'm currently working on a fanfiction featuring a slightly upgraded cast in terms of rationality and intellect which deals with the concept of transhumanism in Equestria. Transhumanism is the belief that, should we gain the technology, we should increase our lifespans and intellect. Essentially, the belief is that it is a morally correct thing to surpass our current limitations if the technology is there, to become smarter, stronger, and more

Discovered a fairly serious problem in the stuff I've written so far, of a literary nature.

So TTA, as I've begun calling it in my head (Transponyism/Transequinism/Alicornism) is going well. Had a couple of days of difficulty, but then I tried working on some different scenes, cut one scene and merged it into another, and now Chapter 2 is about 80-90% done. All in all, I have nearly 13,000 words now: All of Chapter 1, most of Chapter 2, and bits of Chapters 3 and 4. Considering where Chapter 4 is going, I think I'm going to wait for it to be done to send stuff to pre-readers. I was

The first draft of Chapter 1 is complete! I also have a few scenes from the second and third chapter written, so in total I now have about 9,000 words of the story done. I still don't have a title: I'm likely going to leave that until I get the first wave of pre-reader feedback. 90% chance it'll be named after the pro-alicorn side, which means "Transequinism", "Transponyism", or "Alicornism".

Since I have a couple of interested people watching me, I figured I'd give you guys a brief progress report.

The transhumanism fic is going well. It's as yet untitled. The title will probably be whatever the pro-alicorn side names it's philosophy, which means the likely names are "Transponyism", "Transequinism", and "Alicornism".
