I need some advice about world building. · 10:38pm Nov 14th, 2019
Ever since I decided to join the fandom I have tried to catch up on every single piece of Mlp lore. And it has been overwhelming to say the least. Not only 9 seasons of episodes but also several comic books and other expanded material which just so happens to include both contradictions and several alternate realities.
I struggle to determine what I should or shouldn’t include in my story because I obviously can’t include everything because then it would take months for me to write a single chapter and that’s assuming my brain doesn’t explode.
What do you think is the most important things to include in either your own stories or the stories you like to read? If any of you are open to discussing this please let me know because I think I really need it.
Just do it how you think it should be, if its different from the landscape just say it's alt universe.
if the story clashes put Alternate universe then do whatever you want. it's that simple.

True but I still want to do the Mlp world right. However this is less about that and more so about my inability to decide between multiple ideas. Everyone ignores a part of the canon in their stories, others they wouldn’t be able to create something new.

write all the ideas on slips, put them in a hat then draw one.

A good suggestion and one that I might try.
