MLP Fanfics For Nonbronies: Five Or Six Facts To Know Before You Read "What Worked Last Universe" · 2:48am Sep 17th, 2020
To read this story (linked at the bottom!) what you need to know about "My Little Pony" is:
MLP assumes at least two parallel universes: a world of talking ponies and magic, and a world inhabited by humans. A secret portal connects them.
MLP assumes a character in one of those universes is likely to have a counterpart in the other.
Characters have somewhat silly sounding names, as you might expect in a show about magical talking ponies.
MLP fans soon recognize the main character's world as a parallel universe different from MLP's usual human world.
The MLP standard/default human universe's Sunset Shimmer and Twilight Sparkle are friends, who know about Sunset Shimmer's background/origin as a talking horse in magic horse land.
The Sunset Shimmer who lives in the MLP standard/default human universe is friends with the magic horse world's Twilight Sparkle, who is a princess in magic horse land. They communicate by writing in a pair of magically linked books.
Now you can read and understand: What Worked Last Universe
