New Fic for Easter - To Start a Fire · 3:56am Mar 27th, 2016
Hi, friends! In less than ten minutes it will be Easter Sunday on the East Coast of the United States, and I'm hoping you all have a wonderful holiday!
But just to (hopefully) make your holiday a little bit better... I've got a new story coming out!
To Start a Fire
It's been a few months since Discord's "redemption," and as far as he's concerned, he is the goodest good guy ever to be good. Nopony in history has ever been as perfect as him!
That is, until Princess Luna points out that he's still pulling pranks and still hurting his friends. In her eyes, Discord isn't a "good guy"—in fact, he's not even trying to be.
So when Luna challenges Discord to give up chaos for good and prove that he's truly been redeemed, he's more than willing to prove her wrong. But can Discord ever really give up his evil ways? Or is he just a disaster waiting to happen?
This story was originally written for the Writeoff Association's September 2015 contest, Distant Shores. After the contest ended, I made the decision not to release it to the public for two reasons:
1. I didn't think that the plot would appeal to a general audience
2. IDW had just released a Discord/Luna story of their own, and I didn't want to be seen as a copycat
But about a week ago, I reread the story, and came to the realization that it was actually pretty good! Not only that, but it's theme/motifs/whatever perfectly fit the coming holiday. So I made some edits based on feedback I got in the contest, and... here we are!
The fic will be released in about twelve hours (noon Easter day for us on the East Coast). I hope you all enjoy it!
