A Flipverse Group · 1:35pm

So, with the completion of Flipside I've been seeing quite a few requests for something I've been expecting.  A story group based around the Flipverse.  Well, I'm flattered so many people think so highly of my story.  While it pains me to disappoint, it's probably better if I clear something up here.

I don't plan on starting a Flipverse group yet.

The reason for this is two-fold.  The first part is that I've only got the one story written up so far.  It wouldn't make much of a group with just one story you guys have to admit.

Then, of course, I hear you say, "Oh, but Bed Head!  Once other folks start writing--"

And that's where I need to stop you and bring up my second reason.  I know it seems a little selfish of me, but I don't want other folks writing Flipverse stories just yet.  It's a personal thing I'm afraid and, especially with this fan-verse just starting, I'm a little worried about what letting other writers in on it might do to the Flipverse canon.  While I'm sure it would provide a lot of good that I'd be incapable of putting into the verse on my own, it'd also impact the directions the stories and character arcs go.

Now don't get the torches and pitchforks yet.  It's not like I never want to start a Flipverse group.  It's just that I'm not comfortable with the idea just yet.  Maybe once I've gotten through my next story (though I suppose possibly before then...), and even then I'll probably have some guidelines to lay down for other writers wanting to add stuff to the Flipverse.  

Seeing as I've never tried to start a group like this before, I'm hoping you can understand why I'm a bit hesitant.  For now, folks, I plan on taking some time to map out and get working on the next story of the Flipverse.  Trust me, when I think it's ready to welcome new writers and their input you'll all be the first to know!

Until next time!

Flipside

Inspired by the story image, RainbowDoubleDash's Lunaverse and Trinary's "Rainbooms and Royalty", I give you my take on the alternate universe concept.  Namely, a universe where Spike is the pony and Twilight is his dragon assistant.

The thousandth Summer Sun Celebration is approaching.  With it will come the return of Nightmare Moon.  Celestia has no student to call upon to save Equestria, and is doing all she can to make the last day of peace meaningful for her people.

Meanwhile, Spike "Purple Prose" Flail is a reporter for the Canterlot Sun.  He finds himself being shipped down to the boonies with his longtime friend and assistant, Twilight, to cover the biggest festival Equestria has seen in a millennium!

But even with a visit from the princess, there's no way someplace as boring as Ponyville could ever be newsworthy.  Right?

A/N:  Credit for cover image goes to dzetaWMDunion on Deviantart art.

Story would also include character tags for Thunderlane and Cheerilee if not for the character tag limit.

Oh wow, I love it!

No need to worry about the background, it looks great as is!  I'm honored that you'd go through the trouble of making this for me!

Thanks a lot, I'm gonna set it up ASAP :twilightsmile:

Wow, that's a very generous offer!  I'd need a new link to the picture though.  The one you've posted on my page here doesn't seem to work.

How about this? :duck:

I can put in a background too if you want! (Nothing crazy tough, the focus should probably be the character)

I have discovered something terrible!

Your avatar has been made in the pony creator!?!! :raritycry:

Well, I could draw you an avatar based on that pony creator desing: a sleeping Bed Head pony to use here in FimFic! :raritywink:

Of course I can draw you either the full picture of a sleeping Bed Head pony

or just the head (It's easier to see the features in a small picture like that)

How about it? Getting rid of that pony creator avatar? :twilightsmile:
