Do I or Don't I- Possible New Story · 11:08pm Aug 25th, 2017
Okay, I know not too many people actually read my blogs. In fact, I usually tag my blogs with Not The First simply because it's my most read/bookshelfed story and therefore people are more likely to see them come across their feed.
But in this instance, I really want some feedback.
I just became aware of a writing contest which closes on the 31st. It's called Changing Seasons- many of you might know about it. The entire concept of the contest is to Ship canon characters with Sunset Shimmer. And not clop or crack- romance. I've never written a ship-fic before. Hell, truthfully I've never been in a romantic relationship before. Might as well walk around with a "permavirgin" label on my shirt. But I've read romance before and I've watched and read so much variety of things, I feel like I might be able to pull it off. Certainly I don't think I could win, maybe not even get an honorable mention. But I have what I feel is a really good solid concept, with a possibly unique way it could be executed.
Basically:
At some point after Rainbow Rocks, maybe even after Friendship Games, Sunset Shimmer finds Sonata Dusk of The Dazzlings living out of a cardboard box in the alley behind her loft. Feeling understandably sorry for the girl, Sunset does her best to help Sonata integrate into human society without her friends' knowledge. Then Sonata disappears for a few months, and then returns, and tries to act like it never happened. Sunset is charitable because Sonata really does seem to be trying to change. But when it seems about to happen again, Sunset is forced to confront the issue. In doing so she makes a couple of surprising discoveries about Sonata- and maybe about herself. In the end, Sonata and Sunset end up as a couple (duh).
So what do you guys think? Should I write it?
Sounds interesting - I'd read it
Do it. If it doesn't work out, it doesn't work out...
