I Wrote a Buttload of Side Stories... · 7:32am Oct 19th, 2019
...For Applejack: Marvelous.
"What If?"
But I have a problem. One of the sidestories contains SERIOUS lore spoilers for the rest of AJ:M. I'm honestly not sure if I should post it.
What do you guys think?
nah, it's already good as it is.
besides, putting more protagonist won't bring much, it will just dilute the others.

The side stories are non-canon to the main story.
(or, more accurately, take place in alternate universes)
No more MLP protagonists are being added to the main storyline.
The problem is that the general lore/magic system/universal mechanics are the same between the side stories and the main story... This is stuff that AJ doesn't know yet, but it's super relevant to her situation and why things are happening to her the way they are.
...and one of the side stories touches on those mechanics rather heavily. Also it name drops somebody that AJ won't meet until significantly later.

Save em for the right time.
Definitely wait for the lore to be revealed before you put up the lore short, but you can certainly post the less spoilery ones now.
I'd say go ahead and post.
Wait for the story to get to those points, Then, post the side story, it would mess up the flow if you put stories that spoils the main one.
I would just hang onto them until they are no longer considered spoilers.
I am really glad to see you write something for this universe! Since it got you writing, I don't what it to kill your inspiration if you don't post them. But at the same time, if you feel it could spoil the main story line, maybe you should hold on unto the most spoilery ones until the main story reveal those points. But if you do publish them, make sure to put various SPOILER warning.

You mean there might be some universe that AJ dating some local hero? Or AJ join other group beside Avenger? That should be entertaining.
Then what about the main story? How long until it could reach a point where it wouldn't matter if you released those side stories?
Definitely post it with the warning in the details! Applejack is one of the better marvel crossovers on the site. I'd love to read some side stories!
Go right ahead! Especially if you put a spoiler warning ahead of it.
If it's what I think is, I've often imagined how the chapters posted so far would go with a different member of the Mane 6 in AJ's place. Especially Twilight! I would love to see that!
I say go ahead and post. Especially if it inspires you to write more of the main story. I've been missing it!
I'm desperate.
