Possible New Idea to Write · 10:09pm Feb 26th, 2013
Stories are going a bit slow for me right now. I have a novel to write but it's sort of stalled as of now. And I slowly started writing the sequel to "Strength of Friendship" called "Summer Stampede", but that one also has kinda stopped for now. Though I have come with a new one try to write since I can get a little more active with it since it deals with WWII and I have a big interest in the war.
I have the story in mind as based on the MLP:FiM mod for the online game World of Tanks, so I guess it could be considered a crossover. The premise is this:
During World War II, scentists on both the Allies and the Axis have found a portal to the world of Equestria. A deal is reached that will allow the ponies to come to our world and participate in the war. However, a problem has occurred. Once the ponies enter into our world, their physical forms disappear and their souls are the only thing that remains and must possess a moveable object to remain active. The two sides of the war used this to their advantage. The ponies, including the Princesses, get to decide which country they want to serve with. They take possession of a tank, SPG, tank destroyer, artillery gun, change its' colour scheme to their own. The ponies remain in control of the vehicle's movements and cannons and can communicate with the crew vocally. The only things the crew do are load the cannons, stay in radio-contact with HQ and make target choices for them to fire at. Once the vehicle is destroyed, the soul can take possession of a neighbouring vehicle or with a special remote from the crew, if they survived, they can be sent back to Equestria and take back their physical form.
The events cover from the summer of 1943 to the Battle of Berlin in 1945.
As for which side the ponies take, based on my favourites from World of Tanks:
Shining Armor and Cadance ~ Soviet Union
Fluttershy ~ Soviet Union
Pinkie Pie ~ Soviet Union
Derpy Hooves ~ Great Britain
Spitfire ~ Great Britain
Soarin ~ Great Britain
Trixie ~ Germany
Princess Celestia ~ Germany
Princess Luna ~ Germany
Twilight Sparkle ~ USA
Applejack ~ USA or Soviet Union
Not sure if I'll get this written but we'll see how it goes.
