    So weird!

    I was telling my therapist about my writing (in very vague terms) and how I really enjoy 'rage against the heavens' as a trope (see also bellikos rising against their creators in that EQ expansion) and they started connecting it to my parental issues.

    And it made sense and yet I had never made that connection. It's so weird to observe my own habits and thought processes like that.

    Timelines!

    Guys, I've been driving myself insane lately trying to place the story in the show's timeline. Obviously Landshark arrives in a post-Tirek world AND sometime after Cranky and Matilda's wedding, and I probably need to add the AU tag since my Equestria has changelings in it (feel free to pretend something similar to your favorite changeling redemption story took place at some point).

    Radio Silence

    In case anyone has actually been wondering about the slightly longer than normal delay, I've recently had a death in the family and been a mix of busy and unmotivated. 'm trying to get back into writing to keep my mind off other things, though.

    Happy Holidays!

    Hope everyone gets to have a decent enough time. Keep your relatives in mind if you're not seeing them!

    And remember, the reason for the season is axial tilt. :twilightangry2:

    Why did I add a stint on Earth to the backstory of my first fic?

    Good question, really.

    I mean, this is a Displacement fic, I think. I may not be using the term right. But I didn't want to do that thing where a human being gets turned into something kind of weird in the transition. It seems to involve cons and cursed costume props a lot.

Timelines! · 3:30am Nov 20th, 2016

Guys, I've been driving myself insane lately trying to place the story in the show's timeline. Obviously Landshark arrives in a post-Tirek world AND sometime after Cranky and Matilda's wedding, and I probably need to add the AU tag since my Equestria has changelings in it (feel free to pretend something similar to your favorite changeling redemption story took place at some point).

The little plotline with Trixie took place before the Starlight Glimmer/Trixie friendship in the show, I'd say. I really enjoyed that episode. Honestly I'm just hemming and hawing about using Starlight Glimmer. I'm fond of time-skips so I wanna say we're coming up on about a year having passed since Landshark's arrival (which took place vaguely somewhere in spring/summer).

My big concerns are basically using Starlight Glimmer and making references to Flurry Heart. I mean, her debut episode was five months after I wrote the chapter where Landshark meets Princess Cadenza.

I don't have big plans for either. I guess I'm just feeling insecure at the moment.

You're already in solid AU territory just by having Landshark exist in this story. As for character inclusion, this is your project so just do what you feel comfortable handling. At worst you can just cherry pick what works and disregard the rest.

It's kind of hard to stay completely true to the show canon since they change stuff on occasion. The changeling being the most recent example.
