Another new story · 3:30am Aug 30th, 2016
Wait wait wait! Put down the pitchforks and torches! I can explain.
Blame my Muse.
And video games.
Anywho... I'm working on a Half-Life 2 cross-over and I need a name for it. It has nothing to do with my Humanity series and the main character is a Changeling.
Also College is starting again soon. I seem to write the best during that anyway, less excuses to distract myself with video games.
What's the premise of the story? I might be able to suggest something for the title if you still don't have one yet.
4185516 Basically, Changeling in disguise is working with a team (ponies) to make a more efficient long-range (like, other side of the planet range) mass teleport for transportation purposes. Said Changeling winds up getting teleported early into HL2 when the teleport encounters external interference (They are using Xen as well, and have no idea that others are doing the same). Cue minor sequence breaking and the language barrier (of course, a mute isn't the best way to learn a language from).
The events of HL2, HL2E1, HL2E2 happen (with some minor changes till the end of HL2E2).
I do plan on them getting back to Equestria to find that the Combine followed the teleport and are having a bit less luck taking over than they did with Earth, but still winning. Cue potential sequel.
4188585 Neat idea. Liking the scale you have planned for it.
As for a name, perhaps something to do with transportation itself, such as "Long Haul". Idk. I tend towards titles that play upon some theme that the story has.
