Techie's SPICY Smokin' Toasted Self-Roasted Reviews #27: [Spacebound Equestria: Fall of a Nation]! · 4:49am Nov 1st, 2019

Four words: Well that didn't work.

TSpacebound Equestria: Fall of a Nation
They thought Sombra was defeated. After all, his body was utterly destroyed. That's what the ponies thought as the Equestrian Pride grounded in Canterlot. The only problem? Reality isn't always as it seems.

Wait hol up this was published at the end of 2016? It honestly felt like I published that thing quite a bit later than that. Oh well.

As for the story itself, it was my poor attempt at writing a sequel that tied together both the main Spacebound Equestria fic and the sidestory, when the two hardly had anything in common until the very end. Because of that, the attempt at writing the two together ended up as a bit of a mess. :facehoof:

Jewel shook her head, though she mentally salivated at the thought of a full meal; the first she would've had in a great many years. But allowing other ponies to eat was her top priority.

Food solves all the problems.

Well, with the Equestrian Pride landed, I guess that life will return to... normal?

Normal. I haven't thought about how normal life had been before Sombra returned. For the past few weeks, "normal" had been defined by the daily treks, and the constant scavenging that had brought minor plagues to our encampments.

Oh. Oh, no. I think I found what might've at least partially derailed the story. Spacebound Equestria was exclusively written in third-person, while its sidestory was exclusively first-person, if I remember correctly. Probably would've been better off with a more omniscient third-person narrator in this sequel than to alternate between third and first-person.

Twilight watched fearfully over Celestia's slumbering body. Luna had once again dived into her sister's dreams, intent on getting to the bottom of Sombra's plans. It was already clear to her that Sombra had deceived Celestia into thinking that he was his own counterpart-- the one of whom the Sun Princess loved.

This series was the first and last time I ever wrote anything based on the comics.

All the while, small tendrils of Sombra's presence sat wavering about the room.

Imagine little Sombra wisps just kinda waving around. Like, just kinda *wavy*

"Safe at last," a mare in the pile of ponies murmured, clutching onto the Orb.

O-ho-ho, we're dragging the first Wielder of the Orb reboot into this mess, are we?

Currently, the unicorn was reading through the twenty-second edition of "Universal Physics and the Properties that Define Them".

Coming up with the names of whatever books Twilight happens to be reading is fun.

Well, I guess it's hello back to the Crystal Empire.

Well, I guess it's hello back to the random word mash that is this sentence.

Jewel and I personally led the way, navigating the vast labyrinth of tunnels and trenches until we found ourselves at the Faust-forsaken camp. there were far fewer ponies than before, since many had likely died in the time we spent in Canterlot. My suspicions were confirmed upon seeing a pair of stallions hauling a frozen corpse into one of the tunnels.

First and last time I show obvious death in a story.

I ignored his complaining, and pulled Fusebox and Sine up.

I honestly forgo that those two OCs existed at all.

I may need some help.

'Cause seriously, for some reason Spacebound Equestria is always the one story that I'm always hit with writer's' block on.

And guess what ultimately killed the story? Writer's block! (And just a general lack of interest on my part.)
