The SunLight Initiative: A Round Robin Collaboration! - Sunset Shimmer Shippings

Amber Spark #1 · Dec 1st, 2016 · · ·

EDIT: I'm leaning more toward the "SunLight Sliders" Prompt with Princess Twi and Sunset and most folks so far seem to want to go that direction.

So, who here is up for a little “round-robin” SunLight project?

A while back, the AppleDash Project did a story called At the Drop of a Hat. The idea behind it is simple. Each author writes a single chapter for the story and then must continue where the other left off. In fact, I’m just going to steal the original description of the project:

Each chapter is 500 to 1500 words, written in up to 3 days by a different author without an outline or even a plan. Every author picks up where the previous one left off. What ensues is a wild, but fun ride.

This is the prompt I’ve come up with (feedback in welcome!)

The portal between CHS and Equestria is stuck open and now anyone--or anypony--can just wander through! Princess Twilight and Sunset Shimmer team up to get to the bottom of it and see if they can shut things down before reality itself is torn apart… or worse, Principal Celestia OR Princess Celestia find out about it!

Best part about the portal being stuck open? You can use either Twi! However, this is just a first pass, so please don't take this as the final one. This may be tweaked just to focus on Pony-Twi and Sunset! I wanted to gauge interest before locking anything down.

New Alternate Prompt:

After a short visit to Equestria with Twilight, both Sunset Shimmer and Princess Twilight head back through the portal... only to find themselves not at Canterlot High, but in a world neither of them have ever seen! Can they return to Canterlot High, or will the portal send them somewhere else? (With their luck, probably somewhere else)

The concept is "SunLight Sliders," with the stipulation of no crossovers with other shows/animes/books/etc except for the MLP comics (of course).

My goal is to first get an idea of who's interested, then come up with a random order of authors, then we all launch into it! I'll probably do the first chapter (or see if I can bribe Albinocorn into doing it. ) though volunteers to do the last would be welcome.
