I've only joined the site around a month and a bit ago and are still finding my feet. I thought I'd give this Self-Promotion thing a go and see what happens! :pinkiehappy:

So, 'Marking the Generations' reimagines the latter stages of the Make your Mark series. Follow the adventures of Sunny, Izzy, Pipp, Zipp and Hitch as they not only make a permanent friend in Misty, but also meet two ponies from a past Generation, Sunset Shimmer and Starlight Glimmer. Together they search for the Elements of Unity and rediscover Harmony and Unity along the way.

I've split this into parts, of these Part One is complete and Part Two is in progress whilst Part Three is in the planning stages. I expect there to be just three parts but until I've planned out Part Three I won't know for certain.

Part One can be found here: https://www.fimfiction.net/story/549711/marking-the-generations-part-one

Part Two can be found here: https://www.fimfiction.net/story/551788/marking-the-generations-part-two

Thank you for reading this, any and all comments are welcome, both good and bad. :twilightsheepish:

Marking the Generations Part Four is well underway now. :pinkiegasp:

The battle with Opaline has concluded, however I don't want to give away who was victorious. :unsuresweetie:

However, the story isn't over yet as there's plenty to wrap up before Sunset and Starlight return to their time. I'm hoping more chapters will be released soon. :twilightsmile:

Marking the Generations, Part Four is now up to Seventeen chapters. At the moment, it's looking like there will be Twenty One in total.

That means we're getting closer and closer towards the end of the story. :fluttershbad:

However, the latest chapter, chapter Seventeen, I feel is one of the best I've produced so far. I'm eager to hear what people think of it. :yay:

Also, I have ideas for future stories which will follow on with the continuity I've set up in Marking the Generations. :raritywink:
So whilst we're nearing the end, this end will only be the beginning. :pinkiehappy:

Part Four of Marking the Generations is on the final strait. This has been a brilliant adventure for myself writing for MLP for the first time.

I hope the decision to split it into four parts has been worth it. I felt narratively it worked better and it certainly worked better from a writing perspective.

So, I've now completed the last part of my four part story, Marking the Generations.

I've been working on this since around the beginning of the year and it's the first story I've written for MLP.

I'm very thankful for all who have read, liked and commented. I'm always open to more feedback and eager to hear what people think. I have ideas for follow up stories, the first of which I've started planning. Therefore, comments and feedback I can take on and make those even better are gratefully received.
