    Something in the works? Maybe?

    A thestral, a siren, a zebra, a dragon, a changeling, a kirin, three unicorns, three pegasi, three earth ponies, and three alicorns all walk into a bar.

    They then get kicked out because that's way too many characters with "primary/secondary protagonist" billing for one story.

    [Snippet] The Ponyville Numbers Station

    Sunset Shimmer set about unpacking her things. Though still reluctant toward the idea of staying in Ponyville long-term, she was at least going to make sure she was comfortable here during her visit. After a solid couple hours of work, the previously-bland master bedroom had been transformed into something far more cozy. The bed was made, her spellbooks and theory texts placed snugly on a

Of Responsibility - Reuploaded Prologue · 7:50pm May 16th, 2016

As I pointed out in another blog post a while back, part of the problem with continuing OR has been that I've had to build off of a base that was... well, a lot shakier in hindsight than I thought at the time. So while I'm keeping the older chapters for the sake of historical record and posterity, I'm going to post updated versions to start things off from a better place. Take a look at the old prologue and then at the new one - both start similarly, but I think you'll find the key difference in the exchange at the end.

Yes, it does have a very different feel from the original story as a result, but I feel this is a good thing, and hopefully you all will agree.

The revamp of chapter 1 will be coming soon, and then finally a proper update not long after that, hopfully.

Enjoy.

I do remember the original prologue was a bit uneven in tone, so it was probably the right decision.

3950252 Yeah, that's part of the reason for the change.
The other just being that as I developed the concepts for the story, the whole 'starvation as motivation' thing, which had never been a huge factor to begin with, became increasingly irrelevant, so I scrapped it in order to focus on the real personality conflicts and such. Chrysalis will try to use it as an excuse, but it's not going to get her very far with Luna.
