Writer's Block, Halloween, and the G5-Anarchy Connection · 7:56pm Oct 26th, 2021
This whole past month, I've felt like I've got nothing done. Work has been rough. Getting sick has been rough. Prepping for Nanowrimo has been rough. And I'm tackling, like... four or five projects at once.
Which is rough.
On the plus side, I'll have something for Halloween. Can't promise it'll be done then, but I can promise chapter 1 will appear on the spooky scary holiday. And that it'll involve Anarchy.
Speaking of Ann... I've been really wracking my brain over what to do with G5 and the Anarchyverse. I initially started writing fanfiction here because I knew there'd never be more G4 stuff to contradict anything I wrote. That's a little backwards-thinking, I know, but it helped to know I'd never need to rewrite something to account for new canon.
And then the G5 movie happened. And I liked it. But it has this... tangential connection to G4 that... implies bad things. Things I didn't like, and that didn't work with Anarchy. So, for the time being, I'm not touching G5, because I only have two ideas so far, and I know that if I don't handle it perfectly, it might come across as being salty grapes. Which it is not! I don't dislike G5. I quite enjoyed it. But every time I come up with a plot idea for a short story to explain how Anarchyverse isn't going to connect...
Well. We'll see if I end up publishing one of those. The one I won't is a bit much. A bit... "Twilight gets a time travel message warning her how to avoid the backstory of G5". And unless I finesse that properly, it just won't work.
Still.
Maybe expect to see "A New Generation: The Ponequus From the Black Lagoon" someday...
Oh, and Ghost did SUPER WELL, despite being a glorified shitpost, and for that I am eternally grateful (yet confused) to/by all of you!
Honestly, my only advice is maybe don’t worry. G5 could take place hundreds, if not, a thousand years after G4.
You could easily have the two coexist, I think. You can play around with G4 as long as you want, then if you want to play around in G5, just have Anarchy disappear when magic is gone, and reappear when magic returns.
It’s simple, clean, and to the point.

It's odd how close you are to the one story idea I was seriously considering...
But yeah. I'm leaving it for the time being.
Ouch, not only me got sick. And i was also one of these people that liked Ghost xD
I see that you are thinking too how to connect g4 and g5 but does anyone thought about how Sunny is going to sleep with glowing wings and horn? XD
I've been meaning to watch g5 but I've been fairly lazy
