Potentially Touchy Subject For A Comedic Story · 12:53am Sep 21st, 2016
I wanna write a comedy story based on this year's United States' presidential election.
Before you get mad, let me explain this; it's not going to let any of the pony candidates get away unscathed, and it won't be for president, more like prime minister.
It's gonna be told from the perspective of the reader in pony form, watching television, more specifically; The Later Show with Righteous Rhetoric, featuring Princess Luna's son as the guest star for the night.
Prince (Nightsong) Cantus Nocturnus can't stand either candidate, but wants to make it very clear why he'll be voting the way he will.
He talks about each candidate as if they're right in front of him, and doesn't spare either of them from his ensuing rant, in which he explains why he can't vote for either of them in good conscience.
At the height of his fervor, he responds to one particularly callous remark made by one of the candidates about whether or not Princess Luna would be willing to sleep with them.
And the show ends.
There will be analogous names between the real world candidates and the ones in my story, but I'm not trying to offend either candidates' support base. The setting is going to be primarily fictional, and I'll do my best not to show favoritism towards either side —which shouldn't be two hard as I don't like either of them.
