something in the works · 2:17am Mar 5th, 2023
hi all, dunno how many you are still even active in the year 2023 but I might actually have a pony fic on the way! can you believe it?
I've gotten to chapter 6 and have around 15k (thereabouts. could be more could be less I haven't counted precisely) words already written! it's something of a silly, self-indulgent passion project that I hope folks can enjoy even with knowing nothing of the extra subject I've added to Equestria (as with classic Kit fics, this will be an OC 'displaced' in Equestria fic. this is not a displacement fic however)
here's a blurb:
Case #140721, regarding the experiences of agent Jasper Heaton, alongside associate John 'JD' Daniels; after finding themselves transported to an unknown alternate world called 'Equestria'. These events were described by investigator Rory Ellis, agent Jasper Heaton, alongside associate John 'JD' Daniels, after their return.
and here's a snippet of the first few paragraphs:
It was a bright, sunny day in Manehattan. Not a cloud in the sky to hide the shining brilliance of the sun's rays, causing cascading shadows along the various skyrises of dwellings and stores alike. The alleyways between cast into a deep darkness, or so it appeared when standing in the light. As with all things, it was simply a matter of perspective.
Sandwiched between a glitzy three-floor boutique and an upscale apartment block, was one such alley. Its contents a set of dumpsters, a backdoor or two from the neighbouring buildings, and a pony- A unicorn in fact, lying unmoving on the cobblestones. She lies there, slumped on her side with tightly tucked hooves. Her eyes closed as if she's simply sleeping. Though- There's something not quite right with her. Her coat, a shiny black marred with old scars, with a ruby-red underbelly, seems less like a well-groomed coat and more like… Scales. Glinting in the little light filtering in from the street.
The mare lets out a low groan, slowly raising her head from the ground as she opens her eyes. A brilliant gold, the slitted pupils expanding quickly in the alley's shadow. She doesn't move quite yet, her gaze flitting all about the alleyway, eyebrows furrowed as she takes in what little sights there are to see. She finally shifts, pulling out her forehooves from beneath herself. They, much like her eyes, are a glittering gold. Scaled still, but layered over the rest. Looking as if she had simply dipped the pair into a vat of the molten metal. Her hind legs lack such a shine, though the hooves still hold a dimmer, but still golden glint.
This now, this she stares at. Sitting on her hind legs, examining her forelimbs. Twisting her hoof every which way, watching how it bends and moves. She quickly moves onto the rest of her body- Bringing to light her tail, not hair but flesh, a long coiling thing tipped in a rounded arrowhead. This however, seems to not bring her the same alarm as the rest of her. It brings into question: is she even a pony?
and that's all you get! (for now - can't say how long it'll be till I start posting this but maybe this blog post will light a fire under my ass! who knows)
I'll make another blog post when I start posting, or if I feel like updating with another snippet (or if someone wants a teaser, even)
bye for now! see nyall uhhhh Sometime Soon
oh to note - this isn't a pure oc story, it'll just take a lil while for recognisable ponies to show up
