Unfortunately hiatus · 3:24pm May 14th, 2016
Bad news, I'm afraid. This story just isn't going where I thought it would. I'm putting it on hiatus rather than cancelling it, because I might be able to salvage it. But as it stands, I'm not happy with it or the way it's going.
The story was meant to be a retelling of Season One to reflect what could have been. It was inspired by Lauren Faust's desires for the show to be adventure-based, so I changed the professions of the Mane Six to allow for adventures:
Twilight was supposed to be a magic researcher.
Applejack was supposed to be a botanist.
Rainbow Dash was supposed to be a weather mare who worked for Pinkie Pie.
Pinkie Pie was supposed to be an events planner.
Fluttershy was supposed to be a travelling vet.
Rarity was the only one who I planned on leaving unchanged.
With the exception of Rarity, I had planned on giving them jobs that gave them more of an excuse to travel. Yet, somehow, I let the Season One opening plot get way ahead of me and none of that got conveyed.
What I ended up with is a story that doesn't interest me at all.
My sincerest apologies to the two or three of you who are watching the story.
