Contest · 8:18pm Aug 17th, 2013
I did it. I finished my Set Adrift story before the end of August, and thus before college.
Somewhere around Chapter Four I promised myself that if I could pull this off, I would give out cameos to celebrate, likely through some kind of contest. So here we are.
Now don't worry, you don't need some kind of skill or anything to win. You just need a little common sense and some luck. Just answer a simple question: "Who are the last two crew members of the new Lunar Pirates?"
We've already seen Luna and Crystal Love. But the crew that will set sail for the Grand Line in the sequel has four members. There is no way for you to know who the last two crew members are, buuut you can make an educated guess. And yes, the ponies in question have been seen in the story.
Participation via private message, one per reader. You can make guesses in the comments all you want, but I won't say anything until the contest is over.
...Actually, go nuts.
You can also ask for the answer in your participation message, if you want to know the right answer. I won't give any spoilers unless you ask for it.
Prices. I've already said that you can win a cameo for one of your characters in one of the two sequels. Here are the options.1: The pony story. The first sequel plays in Equestria. It also won't feature any anime style fight scenes (or other kinds of fight scenes, just to be clear). If you prefer both over the alternatives, great. You're character will have a minor supporting role, but they will show up throughout the whole story and get some lines.2: The One Piece Crossover. The Lunar Pirates leave the confines of Discord's spell and enter the Grand Line... as humans (there's a spell for that). One lucky winner can send me details for a non-pony character in that story. It can be a bounty hunter, a pirate, a Marine. They can challenge Luna and her crew or team up with them... or both, in succession. They can have any reasonable Devil Fruit power that hasn't come up in the One Piece canon yet (minus the two that I called dibs on). They can even be able to defeat Luna and her crew... just be aware that my protagonists will weasel out of it somehow. Your character will get one chapter dedicated to them and might even contribute to the plot. It will take a while to get to your chapter story-wise, but writing it will be my top priority and you will get a link to the unpublished chapter as soon as it's finished.
So, good luck, and yay for me.
Edit: So... it's been a while, only three people participated. Might as well close this. We do have a winner, by the way.
Pfft easy challenge
Just Trixie, she has the magic power of two ponies.

But Trixie has already joined Buggy, taken over his crew, defeated Whitebeard to take his place as one of the Yonko and brought Blackbeard to justice for his crimes and plotface-ish behavior, while at the same time finding out and revealing the truth about the Lost Century.

...Then she became best friends with Luffy, his crew, and a dimension-jumping Naruto and they found the One Piece.
For I am going to read the story tomorrow or so you can expect my guess to this VERY soon....

Well, that would make you the second participant.
1345119
At least you have two then
I could also enter this with like 5 accounts so my chance for winning will rise
1345122
Seeing as there is no competition I might just throw the price at you.
1345145
That would be really cool but still I will give my guesses as soon as I read the fiction. Just to complete the circle you know?
1345164
Of course, I wouldn't have it any other way.
So my guess would be Vinyl and Octavia. Just because they are really awesome and they appeared in the last chapter. I mean they saw what someone could do with a ´Devil Fruit. I think it would be really strange to see something like this and just live on without even being bothered by this in any way
Could be Ditzy too.....she was also there.....I have it! Why not all three?!
1347645
Vinyl and Octavia would make for great pirates, wouldn't they? But no, you're completely off the mark.
Derpy isn't going to join either, partially because I need her in the other sequel and partially because she has a family to think of. (Also, she already has a job. Hundred digital cookies if anyone recognizes the cunning reference in the last chapter and knows where she works)
1347672
Daym. Well I had my chance
Lyra. Also possibly, umm... Chrysalis?
1416159
Lyra and Chrysalis? Those don't sound like they'd get along very well...
1416580
True, but when you think about it from what she said she in your story she only wanted to let her changelings live in peace so she staged the whole invasion. And seeing how reasonable Luna is in the story I could see her understanding Chrissy's reasons and being friendly with her.
So my guess is Luna, Crystal Love, Lyra, and Derpy/Chrysalis.

You know, I will just talk down any guesses in the comments, no matter if their right or wrong. Participation only through PM.
But regarding your guesses...
kekeke... Seems I've managed to trick at least one person. You need to pay better attention.
P.S.: I wish I could start with that story already;
I have everything planned out and it's going to be epic. Alas, there's stuff I have to write first because it's all connected to each other.
