Seeking Editors/Brainstormers for new story – "A Nation of Love":
art (c) myself ;-)
Omnifaria – the Nation of Love. Synonymous with progress in bio-engineering, environment-friendly technologies, and industrialized love-production. Famous for its acclaimed universities, museums, and unique forms of performance art.
Omnifaria represents the promise that no changeling must ever go hungry, that every nymph will be allowed to reach their full potential. It is a utopia – and the most powerful nation on the planet.
All built on the ruins of the magical land of Equestria.
A Chrysalis-timeline story, 200 years later.
“...You know, ponies have actually been romanticized as of late.”

"A Nation of Love", unlike most of my stories – published or otherwise – is not, shall we say... an entirely happy one. Yet it also isn't an entirely unhappy one, either.
In fact, it's a rollercoaster going from sad to comedy to dark to slice of life, and sometimes in the same chapter. 
It's dark... but it tries not to be, if that makes sense. 
It's a story full of juxtaposition, turned tables, misrepresented history, and writing in a setting that FanOfMostEverything conjured up as the "bad end" to a horror story, and taking it in a totally different direction. 
And I'm looking for editors, test-readers, and brainstorming-people. 
Who's with me? 
. . .
...Okay, yes, I realize the timing is a bit awkward, since I suspect people are expecting more "cute" from me at the moment. Sorrrrry! 
But, I've been working on this for over a year, so... err. Yeah, odd timing. ^_^;
And you'll get "more cute, less post-post-post-apocalyptic*" eventually, but alas, not today. 
*Post-post-post-apocalyptic: A society born from an "apocalyptic event", which has since recovered to the point of surpassing the society existing prior.
I admit, I haven't had any good ideas for a possible "second chapter" of "A Fragile Nightmare" yet - best suggestion I got was for Luna-Moon to go on an icecream-binge, 'cause, you know, icecream wasn't around 1000 years ago. "Nay sister, let the iced cream flow forth! The icecream shall last... forever!" Would need considerably more content to spin that into a chapter, though. Any ideas?
In the meanwhile, there's an inofficial sequel being written by Sandstorm94, which you can find here.
Hm, sounds interesting. :)
Regarding editing, though... proooobably I'm not really available to join the team, but just in case, and since it might be useful for interested others, what sort of things in particular would it entail?

Anywhere in between from test-reading to give me an idea how people will react, to brainstorming ideas to help me expand on chapters and filling in the blank spots.

Ah, thanks. And the medium? Gdocs with a list of people to share links with, or something else?

Yeah, GoogleDocs. I gotta prepare the document first, I'll send you an invite when I'm ready, probably will get around to it on Friday or so.
Can you PM me your mail-adress for the invite?

...Hm. Thought you already had it, but I'm not finding any emails from you, so... assuming I'm not completely misremembering, maybe we worked that out some other way.
Anyway, yeah, not promising anything, but I'll send a PM over; thanks! :D
