TEK Hype Post! · 1:26am Oct 21st, 2020
Hey all!
I’ve been working on original stuff for a while now, which is great but it’s also completely kicked me out of my “pony zone”, as it were. I’m trying to get back into it, but I’m struggling a lot so I wanted to ask y’all for help!
If you have time/disposition, pls share with me stuff you’re excited to see in future chapters of TEK! Stuff you’re hype about so that it’ll make me hype too and I can get the little boost I need! Or favorite TEL moments, or TEK moments, IDK, just something to get my mood and spirit back into it c:
Thank you, and thank you as always for your support!<3
RariTwi Fluff.
FLUFF FLUFF FLUFF FLUFF
Just Rarity and Twilight being the purple girlfriends yes
Yeah I'm Hyped about buying your original work off of Amazon or directly from you. I would dearly love to hold the TEK book in my hands.
I wanna see more of your Rainbow Dash. And Spike/Seeker.
Also that whole Fluttershy thing. I am *so* hype for that.
Off to free Cadance and/or Celestia.
If any of those are half as adorable as Pinkie and Luna, then I may explode into rainbows and sprinkles.
HYPE
Definitely wanna see Discord finally get what's coming to him!
I anxious to see more Luna interacting with Twilight and Rarity. Having known Twilight so long ago, I'm sure Luna has some interesting and potentially embarrassing stories to tell Rarity.
And now that Luna has control of the dream realem again and everypony believes in her, what will Pinkies' place be? Does Luna really need her as she once did. What will Pinkies mission be?
In the short term, I'm looking forward to seeing more of Luna. Her seeing Cadance again, adjusting to the modern world, etc. I'm normally not huge on Luna as a character but the way you developed her alongside Pinkie is so good and I'd love to see more.
From there though, I can't wait for what you've got in store for Celestia. Her situation seems way stranger than what Twilight and Luna ended up with, and I'm intrigued to see what the solution to that ends up being.
Oh, and now that we've had a big RariTwi breakthrough, I want to see them power-couple the heck out of the next arc. I feel like there aren't many romance writers that really depict ongoing, functioning relationships, but it's so satisfying when done well.
I think my favourite moment(s) is whenever Twilight is teased about throwing Rarity into a bookshelf. It's just a small running gag, but my has me chuckling every time.
Now that Luna is free I am looking forward to seeing more of her and Pinkie Pie together, even if its only bits here and there. I am also looking forward to the reunion of Luna and Cadance, as well as how Luna helps with the search for Celestia and a way to free Cadance.

Seconded!

On your note about Luna, I frankly can see her adjusting to the modern world quickly. She may only be able to look into children's dreams, but that should be sufficient... and with Pinkie's almost nightly visits, the leap would be more manageable.
Celestia, on the other hand...well I'm not sure. Canon Discord was frozen in stone for a thousand years yet adapted much quicker (in comparison to canon-Luna, if the series is in Chronological order & it most likely is). Aside from some intentionally-telling-yet-vague interludes, Celestia has been out of touch since Discord trapped her.

Not caught up yet
But, this is one of my favourite fics I've read in a long time (it got me to dig up my mom's Kobo she never uses when I found out that d'induction has ePub), and I've been reading it all the time! I'm really looking forward to enjoying every new chapter once I catch up
Sapphism of the purple pony variety.
Oh man, where to start?
There's so much I can't wait to learn about regarding the TEK world itself. What exactly are the conditions of Celestia's prison? What happened to get Rarity to where she is in the interludes? What is Luna's plan to save her sister?
And that's not including the fantastic interactions between characters. Of course, I can't wait to see the reunion between Cadance and Luna, or Rarity returning to Ponyville, and obviously purple girlfriend fluff is going to be a serious contender for the best moments of any chapter that it's in.
You've got something amazing here and the fact that you are still here and writing ponystuffs in current year makes my week anytime I see an update or story from you.
Add me to the list of enchanted things, cuz I'm here till the end.
Fluff! Really looking forward to tooth-rotting fluff! We've had an amazing climax so it's time to enjoy what comes next. I also really liked Twilight freaking out at the idea of moving in together w/ Rarity b/c in her time that was basically a marriage proposal. So more cute culture shock will be fun.

Are you listening, Mono
Are you listening
I am dying to know how we get from here to Rarity-on-the-run-with-North Ridge. Been hanging on that cliff for too long.
Ngl I am pretty hype for Celestia
Raritwi fluff is always nice to see mono and as for my favourite part of TEK that would be cadence mocking the professor about her aparantly killing twi that was amusing
WHAT HAPPENED WITH CELESTIA!!!, what did discord do to keep her locked?
-How will rarity recover (if she ever does) from her mental state, wil her relationship with twilight will ever be the same?
-Will we get more luna and pinkie development?
-and let me remind everyone that for some reason rarity is displaced in some ambiguous future.
Well, you could exspand on pinkie pie and Luna’s, possible, romantic relationship
- RariTwi being cute and healthy and flirting and overcoming obstacles together and communicating and using the necklaces
- Seeing what happens to Luna after she's freed, similar to the excitement at the end of TEL to seeing how Twilight would react to the modern world. Also her and Pinkie being her and Pinkie.
- Finding out what the deal with Celestia is.
- Figuring out how to activate the other Elements.
- Rainbow Dash and Spike being great together.
- Finally connecting back to North Ridge and learning why Rarity is doing whatever she's doing, including the thing you hinted at in The Breath Of Truth.
What I've loved most:
Is your version of Discord. Like the best villains, he doesn't think he's the villain, and the depth you give him by not allowing him to become a stock villain, it makes the heroines stand out as even more heroic. Which is why I've been waiting with absolutely bated breath for nearly three years now to know the circumstances leading to the italicized scene at the beginning of TEK's Act I, Chapter 4!

Discord's motivations are very interesting to me.
also WHEN ARE WE GETTING TO THE PROLOGUE!1!!
I just wanna see fashion horse deeply make out with ghost book horse and then they hold hooves forever! Is that too much to ask!?

As long as they don’t fall off the web as a result of being physical, I’m all for it
5382496
Literally all of those points are the same things I am hyped for as well!
Purple Pony Girlfriends hype! I can't wait for more aaaaaa
I'm excited for cute fluff! :o
I can never forget Twilight slamming into the barrier of the library, desperate to get to Rarity in TEL. It’s also the first pontiff that I sacrificed sleep for on some of my days off and prompted a story or two of my own.
ALL THE FLUFF. AND ALSO EPIC PURPLE GF BADASSERY.
This may seem kind of weird for being "boost" you asking for, but nevertheless I feel I need to share something:
I often like play one stupid mind game. When I wake up in the morning I ask myself what would I regret the most if I die today? And for the last half of year the first answer always remains the same: I would not be able to read the next chapter of TEK and this thought always feels sooo scary and soo painful that I immediately promise to myself not to die =)
So awaiting the next chapter of TEK is the greatest reason to live for at least one person on this planet (and I bet there are many more). I pray for your inspiration!
I WANNA SEE CELESTIA. IVE BEEN DENIED THE CELESTIA SAYS "I approve" AT RARITY SCENE FOR FAR TOO LONG. I WANT TO SEE CELESTIA SHARE EMBARRASSING STUFF ABOUT TWILIGHT WITH RARES AND TWI'S LIKE MOOOOOOOOM! BUT SHE CANT SAY MOM CUZ THATS EVEN MORE EMBARRASSING
I’m really eager for the return to Ponyville... I honestly miss the place with the show over. Most of The Enchanted Library was spent at the library... I’d love to see you do more with the Ponyville setting itself. Also, there’s a chance for the Tree Library, which remains one of my all-time favorite settings. But even without it, I want to go back to the Carousel Boutique, and Sweet Apple Acres. More specifically to your story, I want to see Cadance find happiness, and I need to see what the deal is with Celestia and Discord and finally see the pain of so many centuries laid to rest.
And along the way, I want to see our two leads build their lives together...
First, I want to say that I am a great fan of your work. Your writing style is simply superb. I think that the reason if your story is so good is because you put so much in your tale: mystery, adventure, introspection, heartache, slice of life. And all that is sewn in an organic way in a perfect balance.
Now as for what I would like. Well, you did mentioned that you wanted ACT III to be a journey of adventure for Twilight and Rarity. Since it will have a new tone, it will be best to put a transition, nothing too long, you could even imply a time skip happened. Just a 'one' chapter to show they had time to breath before going with excitement on that journey.
What would I really like to see on that adventure is our two mares facing problems where they would have to use their minds. Twilight is analytical and can make complex plans. Rarity is cunning like a fox and have a manipulative side. If they combine their two strengths, they would become an unstoppable team. After the emotional turmoil, it would be nice to see them feeling confident and victorious. That is until... ... well I don't know. It's you the great maestro of this tale.
This last part as nothing to do with what you asked and instead is me trying to be helpful concerning your doubts. Obviously, no one can tell you how to lead your writing career, only you can. So please, see that only as free-bits of advice from a fellow struggling pony-fanfic writer.
Concentrate on the words you are writing right now and forget about what is left to write. It can be a scene, a paragraph, hell, even just a sentence, but you put all your care on it, then you're bound to find it's genius and the pride would make it all worthwhile. It pay to be arrogant. Sure, that pride will go away and you will doubt again. But then you will have to trust than that feeling of pride can and will come back again and again. Well, that's what at least keep me going on, I am not an expert.
You are a great author and nothing can take that away. Trust me.
I soo want to see what's Discord's big deal(he was angry, imprisoned them all, but left them a chance of freedom. Why!!!)
Also have a Rare!

I'm super excited just to see what happens next. The latest interlude has opened so many questions to me, I have no idea how this is going to go and I can't wait to find out

Hi everyone!
Just want to take a minute to thank you all for your feedback/comments!! They all worked and really hyped me to keep writing, and thank you as well to some of you for sharing personal feedback and advice <3 I really appreciated it!
I also have to admit that I'm just generally really relieved to see so much excitement towards RariTwi itself lmao one of my biggest fears was that me delving so deeply into their issues had maybe put people off the ship, but I'm really glad to see that isn't the case....
I did notice some recurring things and excitement so I can answer some of those things:
Anyhoo! Thank you all again for your lovely comments and encouragement! It genuinely means a lot <3
