So to clarify, it's a non EQG villain, but on the other side of the mirror? Say, SunsetxSombra for example?

Correct

I look forward to reading the fics that people come up with!

How Equestrian should the Equestrian villain be?
Say, in this story

TPyrophiliacs

• Equestria Girls
• Romance

Sunset's ex girlfriend has hardly let the other girl go after they broke up, and on one particularly irritating day, Sunset gets fed up with it.

• Violence
• Profanity
• Alt. Universe
• Sunset Shimmer
• Daybreaker

where we don't really know how Daybreaker got into the human world and what she's doing there, is she 'Equestrian enough?' Or should we prefer to go more heavily and definitely Equestrian?

7815125
Is Starlight a viable contender and can we use her reformed self or her villain self or both?

7815307
I would also like to note, I can think of some interesting things that could be written about a character who we know in canon as a villain in Equestria...but about the villain's human world counterpart. Is that considered 'not as good?'

7815317
Yeah, I think the whole story theme needs a bit of a rework with the way it’s worded, since that’s actually kind of confusing.

I think it’s meaning an MLP villain in the EqG world, but I could easily be wrong about that.

7815317
Daybreaker can work but it has to be a newly written story that hasn’t previously been submitted.

7815315
She does count but I do think DualSoul1423 was hoping for equestrian villains that haven’t interacted with Subset before

7815334
I’ll modify it to make it more clear

I can't wait to see some of the stories people come up with for this prompt! I would participate as well since I have some free time, but it is almost a code of honor at this point for me to never write something shipping Sunset with someone other than Adagio. But I do hope everyone participating has fun!

7815354
Alright, so just MLP villains then. Got it.
I probably won’t be making a story for this one, but hopefully that clears things up for everyone else as well.

The folder isn't working for some reason, I can't add my fic in.

7815354
Yes, but can I make sure that (or whether) the human world version/counterpart of an Equestrian villain is allowed as our ship partner for Sunset in this contest?

For example, the human world version of Svengallop? (This story wasn't published within the contest period, but I might have a similar idea in mind, maybe even another villain.)

TSunset Shimmer's Secret Summer (Princess Angel Pop Star)

• Equestria Girls
• Romance
• Dark
• Drama

When Sunset Shimmer was stranded in the human world, only Sven Gallop noticed she was homeless, and offered to help. But there was a price to pay. There often is.

• Other
• Sunset Shimmer
• Rainbow Dash (EqG)
• Main 7 (EqG)
• Svengallop

And yes, these questions do make a convenient excuse to link to stories as examples, but I AM trying to clarify my questions too.

7820482
Has to be the equestrian version of the character
But you could make it work by having the equestrian version be on the human side for awhile or have the human version be the equestrian equivalent in an AU where they have been through the portal.

Problem has been solved for everyone now

Thanks!

This makes perfect sense and I'm still deciding whether I hate it.

The link currently in the contest announcement doesn't work, so I guess we should use the link below instead?

https://www.fimfiction.net/group/215660/folder/79673/sunset-x-equestrian-villain-march-18th-2023-to-april-28th-2023 works and it has a story in it.

Its been over a week now, are we still wanting on the results?

7833238

7833304

7833314
