If I Were A Pony revamp possibility... · 11:50pm Nov 5th, 2016
To literally anyone interested, after some time of this story being cancelled due to bad reception, and after multiple people asking if I could bring this back, I've decided to consider a revamp of this story. Maybe continuing from where I left off, I don't know. I kinda wanna know what you guys think. Would you like me to revamp this story or no?
I'd say start over from scratch. Make sure to say that it was inspired by and give appropriate credits where credits are due. Don't use the same cover art as someone else, and to be honest I'm surprised that the site even allows duplicate titles.
In a way, I'm glad I ran across this because I'd been mulling over a similar idea. Bottom line - a lot of people didn't even give your story a chance due to its appearance of plagiarism. Keep in mind that plagiarism includes copying ideas... which in a bizarre sort of way is what this site is dedicated to. After all, MLP doesn't belong to any of us.
Things I'd consider changing: it's not necessary to kill off all the changelings. You only need to show events through Chrysalis's perspective. Slow it down, add more detail. And then follow up with Chrysalis transformed into a pony where she goes on a journey of discovery where she learns just how devastating her invasion had been, not to just the Changelings but to the ponies. Lastly comes redemption.
Give it the attention it needs and you'll have a successful story.
