Questions to you, readers! About a prequel/sequel for Morning in Ponyville · 3:33pm Dec 26th, 2015
First, I want to thank all of you to bear through my random English. I hope you enjoy the ride so far.
I have a few questions about Morning in Ponyville.
The format
You probably noticed but most chapters follow this schema:
A small scene with Princess Luna
And the rest of the chapter is about Twilight and Morning.
The idea of the first scene with Princess Luna is giving you a view of what is behind the scene, the relation of Twilight with her family or her family with Canterlot/The Princess or hint you about Twilight's past. I tried to not have this part being too much about "Celestia is a tyrant/mean to Twilight". What do you think of this format for the chapters so far? Does it work? Be reassured Luna will have more impact on the story later.
Status of the story
My estimate is around 7-8 chapters left. I will try to speed it the writing of them if I don't have other stuff getting on the way.
Prequel/Sequel
Since at this point you probably figured a lot about Morning. I want to publish the draft stuff I wrote about Twilight pregnancy and some trials she had to go through. it will mostly be random chapter more than a complete story. But will you be interested in that?
I also planned a sequel, but it's very different from this story and you probably wondering why I want to already publish a sequel when this story is not finished. Well even if I know how this story will end and some keys chapters, I had trouble either writing "filler" chapter or make them more publishable, so I want to work on something else sometime.
The Sequel is lighter as it's about Morning -written in first person from her point of view- going through late teenager -> adult life. She will deal with the fact that most of her entourage is know ponies (for bad or good) a totally new life, friendship and love. Obviously, it spoils all of this story so it's on hold for now. But I really want to share her story with you.
As a teaser I can give you the draft of the description
Hello, my name is Morning Star, I am a 17 years old beautiful mare. Ho, I know what are you thinking, “she will tell us about her crush on a charming, beautiful, husky, with a ripped flank... young stallion” No I am not drooling. And I wish my life was that simple with teenager crush and such thing like that. It’s not always easy when your mother is <Edited> and your father the <Edited>
I'm afraid you'd start other stories and finish neither. Otherwise, the more, the better.
