//------------------------------// // The Full Butterfly Analysis // Story: Equestrian Fanfiction // by Lise //------------------------------// Hey, hey. Sorry for being quiet. It’s just that this whole thing spooked me out for some reason and I’ve been feeling down. Thankfully, Oopsy and pup were with me to help me feel better :) (Oh, and if you haven’t already, check out Oopsy’s plushies! He’s improved so much it’s incredible! I already have several humie plushies (eleven to be exact O:)) and more are on the way :P) [EqF-spoiler] And now the big analyses! :) And am I glad that Luna made me read this! I had forgotten how good it was! I’m telling you, I’ve read it twice and it feels like a MC chapter' only different. For those who don’t remember the concept from CrystalCon, here’s a recap: A pony and a human learn about the other world (through help or diaries) and then set off to find out what is going on. The catch is that once they venture through the portal they lose their memory of their previous world. So in effect each of them have two lives: one in Equestria and one on Earth. Also, someone’s out to get them. :) Now, the analysis will be slightly different. I won’t be going over everything scene by scene... id go crazy! This is a set of two full books (lol) a hundred thousand words each. It’s a really good read though! I still can’t believe how quickly I went through. (One piece of advice: for a best experience read the chapters of both books at the same time. :)) Rain (male) and Sunny (female) learn that they have some connection and try to figure out what the significance of the diaries are, and why people (and ponies) and trying to hunt them down. At first the battle is to get the diaries. Initially they believe they have only, but then it is revealed they have four diaries. What is more interesting, they have to keep new diaries in order to keep track of what’s going on. Meanwhile, it starts to become clear that things aren’t what they seem. Certain corporate officials turn out to be originally from Equestria and, in some occasions, even help the main characters. And that’s only the start! (If you want to avoid spoilers stop reading now!) It soon turns out that there’s an entire house of nobles in Equestria that’s composed of humans and they have been trying to reclaim Earth. There are a lot of back and fros with the main characters learning the the corporations themselves don’t fully know what’s going on. Further along, Sunny and Rain discover and end a plot to assassinate Prince Blueblood... who turns out is human! (Gasp!) Yes, Prince Blueblood had secretly been brought to Equestria as a child and raised as a pony ever since. And that’s not all! Ultimately it turns out all of Equestria was the world originally colonized by humans, many of whom got transformed to ponies and forgot their memories. Only the seven deities (Discord being the seventh) knew what the truth was, but chose to keep the secret, while the corporations were created by those who managed to access their original memories and wanted to fight back, and claim both worlds. At the end it’s revealed that both Sunny and Rain were human born, but Rain was moved to Equestria so by an organization the championed “official rediscovery” of both worlds. It’s touching how they choose to like in Equestria away from it all, and finally get together (after two books of romantic tension). [EqF-spoiler] I’ll probably reread it again soon. The more I know what happened, the better the read :) You really wrote a masterpiece, girls (and Jade) :) Hope there are other such collaborations! What does everypony else think? PrinceEric Oh, and PaintDrop’s art is amazing! Where did you find the time for all that? It’s..l it’s just wow and wow! :) PrinceEric @PrinceEric: You’ll be surprised how much free time I have now that I’m home most of the time :P Joking aside, thanks for your thanks, and for reviewing the book. I’ve added it to the MC collection I have and am now waiting for the dreamreading. RRBB promised there would be open if this was well received, so here’s to hoping. :) Now I expect MixaMax to appear and tell us all why we are wrong and idiots, and clearly this isn’t as good as Mistmount, because nothing can be as good as Mistmount. :P PaintDrop Come to think of it, I haven’t heard from Max recently. Has anyone seen her this week? Brush I know she wasn’t at work yesterday. I had to catch up on mail and she wasn’t at town hall. I can pass by her place and ask later, I guess. I liked the Butterfly Effect a lot. It’s quite sweet, and a bit of crazy. I hope it’s not true, though. Having to forget everything that I’ve been through is rather... well it sounds sad. At least I wouldn’t want to forget what I’ve been through, even the unpleasant stuff (it reminds me how to enjoy life). Also, I know Blueblood will get all pouty, but MCE 2 will be great! Can’t wait! DaBoss @DaBoss: you really are full of secrets, aren’t you? :) Also, it’s Project Butterfly, not Butterfly Effect. @all: Sis is fine. She just had some unexpected issues to deal with. Please do t give her too much trouble, okay? Short&Hoofy @Short&Hoofy: okay! I like Max. I’m just glad she’s okay. When she has a chance I’d still love to hear her thoughts :) PrinceEric Oh my... Brush Eeeeee! :) So happy! Congratulations! :) PPI Hey... Umm... I just want to let everypony know it has happened. Sorry for keeping you all in the dark, but we wanted to be perfectly sure. In the Crystal Empire there was this tradition of keeping it a secret until the birth itself, but MixaMax convinced me times have changed a bit since then... So, yes. We have confirmation she’s pregnant and... I guess she’s pregnant. Sorry I’m so emotional. This is the greatest moment of my life... I just... Thank you! Jade
