I feel the need to comment on this · 8:00am Nov 7th, 2015
It's been just two weeks since I finished A Harmonic Sonata, and now this happens:
My first reaction: Is this for realzies?! Also, did they seriously just reference Fighting is Magic?!
My second reaction:
(On an unrelated note, this is the second blog in a row which has used that reaction.)
My third reaction: Now I want cards for Night Glider, Sugar Belle, and Tennis Match. I already have Fluttershy and Amethyst Star, though, so I just need four more to have a full set!
I'm starting to wonder if it's possible to have a full deck based on my story. And the answer is probably no
In somewhat-related news, I have several ideas for sequels (or episodes, I guess), but right now I'm actually working on a prequel. It will mostly focus on Sonata's days as a student of Luna, though it shall also reveal some details about the other five. I'd say more, but then I'd be spoiling you, wouldn't I?
But you want to hear about my sequel ideas, don't you? So have some right here:
All's Fair in Love and Sports
Main characters: Tennis Match, Night Glider
Plot: When watching Tennis Match practice one day, Night Glider remarks that she could probably beat her easily. One thing leads to another, and soon they are trying to beat each other in every kind of athletic activity.
Note: Basically the Sonataverse version of Fall Weather Friends.
Of Potions and Rabbits
Main Characters: Amethyst Star, Sonata Dusk, Zecora
Secondary caracters: Dinky Whooves, and the most evil rabbit in the universe.
Plot: Zecora offers to teach Amethyst Star and Sonata Dusk how to make various potions. However, things begin to go awry as Amy is harassed by a little furry monster she is all too familiar with.
Note: Features the return of the rabbit that attacked Amy in chapter 9 of A Harmonic Sonata. Three guesses as to who it is.
A Diamond Without a Mark
Main Characters: Diamond Tiara, Tennis Match
Secondary Characters: Spoiled Rich, Nightshade, Dinky Whooves, Apple Bloom
Plot: All of Diamond Tiara's classmates have their cutie marks, and Spoiled Rich will not have her daughter be the only "Blank Flank" in the class. But the pressure she puts on Diamond hurts far more than it helps. Can the little filly find a better way?
Note: Features the origins of the Sonataverse Cutie Mark Crusaders.
Apples and Butterflies
Main Characters: Fluttershy, Apple Bloom, Applejack
Secondary Characters: Sonata Dusk, the entire Apple family.
Plot: For as long as she can remember, Apple Bloom has looked up to Fluttershy. She is like the older sister she never had, especially since she will soon marry into their family. However, when Apple Bloom's actual sister returns for the Apple Family Reunion, will she be able to accept her?
Note: In this 'verse, Applejack never came back from Manhattan, and Fluttershy ended up taking her place on the farm and in Apple Bloom's life. More on that in the prequel story.
Dragons and Cupcakes
Main characters: Sugar Belle, Sonata Dusk
Secondary Characters: Pinkie Pie, Dusk Shine
Plot: When a dragon decides to take a nap right above Ponyville, Sonata, her friends, a group of guards are dispatched to get it to move. However, when the dragon turns out to have a big sweet tooth, Sugar Belle comes up with a rather unorthodox method of getting it out.
Note: a re-imagining of Dragonshy that involves Luna actually making sure her student doesn't get killed by an angry dragon, Sugar Belle being an awesome baker, Fluttershy being less scared than canon, and a dash of DuskDusk shiptease.
So, yeah. Those are just a few ideas I have for the Sonataverse. If you have any of your own, feel free to comment or send me a message.
MUST SEE SEQUEL IMMEDIATELY.
Is this real? I dubt it...
yeah, they referenced a thing they destroyed.
Sugar Belle and Night Glider, coming right up! derpicdn.net/img/2015/8/21/962169/large.png
Poor Tennis Match, with no cards.
Those story ideas are soooo good!
I think the card game is ridiculous... although I would pay for a mlp ps4 game. Any electronic game really. Is there an mlp game, excluding the phone game?
3527179 The only one I know of is geared towards very young children.
Take your time on the follow-ups. I know I'm looking forward to whatever comes.

I want to see the Applejack story IF it shows her in a bad light. There needs to be more stories that do that.
I am very much willing to see any of these!
You are the only person keeping me in a jobIf interested, here's the full art without the card stuff:

Siren's Call Card by Pixelkitties. The artist says that it is real (their first official MLP merchandise art in fact) and even includes a link to what is the card game twitter.
3527113 Patience. I'm working on it
3527131 Actually, it is real
3527141 They're mean like that
3527170 I can imagine you'd be the first to know if they made a Tennis Match card
3527179 Not as far as I know
3527621 I shall await that day with bated breath
3527923 I'm not sure how much, but it most certainly would do that
3528018 I'm glad you like my ideas
Also I'm glad that I'm able to give meaning to your life.3528211 Awesome!
3531124 Najz
3531124 YAY!
3531124 I made a fake one once. It sucks, because I couldn't find the right font.

3532586 Not bad. Two things, though:
1- Her element is generosity
2- You used that face
3533094 Yes, but I made this before you published your fic!
Find me a decent base and I'll redraw it.
3534520 Ah. Then you're forgiven
3534965 Yay!
