    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

Contrast Prologue: Let Us Begin · 12:11pm Aug 10th, 2016

“If there's a book that you want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it.” -Toni Morrison

I have a feeling Of Responsibility will remain my most popular story, but I also heavily suspect that Contrast will wind up being my own personal favorite. I'm going to be honest here - What lies in store is basically the ultimate fanservice for the strange creature who calls herself ColdGoldLazarus, in many ways. Consider yourselves warned.

Anyway, the story behind the prologue here is somewhat interesting - what is there was actually written some time ago - the prologue was originally going to have two other scenes, introducing Twilight and Sunset and their respective mentors and showcasing their usual interactions whilst foreshadowing later plot developments. Unfortunately, it took me forever to write out those two scenes, and when I recently finished them, I realized that they not only laid out too many cards too early, but they also failed to portray the characters right. I decided to remove them entirely, making minute changes to the remaining scene to make it pass the word count minimum, and worry about writing better introductory scenes in Chapter 1.

That reminds me - I actually have the first six chapters (the first two episodes) pretty well-outlined, so I'm hoping to have them written and published in very quick succession. That's something to look forward to!
