The day after: How we got here + a reminder that the much-teased sequel is finally here! · 2:35am Dec 11th, 2019
Geez, when I left Pony-Me™ on an open-ended note, I wasn't planning on writing a sequel this early.
Geez, when I left Pony-Me™ on an open-ended note, I wasn't planning on writing a sequel this early.
We'll kick things off with some more character/lore building chapters to segway into the end of Part 2 on the Pony-Me side of things, while My Own Reality will begin work on new chapters at the same time as continuing editing.
Just look at the title.
We've got a human character set up and planned out, now we just need her counterpart.
Alrighty, since this may or may not end up revealing some major plot points for once the reboot is launched, I'm gonna put all of this behind a page break. Click "read more" to read more. :P
Yup, you heard me. Y'all could be writin' some of your own takes on the Pony-Me lore. Could it include high-tech implants? Sure. Perhaps a devious puppet government? Why not? New characters and OC's? Go ahead. A city of your own creation populated with yet another disconnected population? Yup. Artificial intelligence beyond imagination? Why not add a twist to it along the way?
Aaaaanyhow, there's more below the break.
With Into Equestria being out for nearly a week now and five chapters currently published (more to come, I'm working on the 6th!), I'd like to know what your thoughts are on the sequel, and where I could potentially improve. Below the break are some things I'd personally like to hear from y'all.
What's this? The first chapter of the original fiction adaptation of Pony-Me? By golly, I have been doing something all this time! In all seriousness though this is by far the shortest chapter and I just started on the 8th one today... er... yesterday.
“Rebecca! C’mon, sis, wake up!”
Remember how there was that plan snippet about Lisa abandoning her oatmeal?
Yeah. I just finished writing that part.
I've went ahead and renamed the existing story to avoid confusion. The rewrite completely ditches the plot that the old story was following at the time, so I figured it'd probably be better to just post a new story instead and retire the old one.
Hey.
It's been a while since I've talked about Pony-Me.
Now, I know that I mentioned how I was working on a reboot.
But lately, I've been making almost zero progress on it.
Most of what I've been working on these days is my current flagship series, Splintershard.
It's refreshing to be able to write something new again.
But at the same time, I still want to give Pony-Me the chance to follow through with its intended ending, instead of what it currently has.
Man. Two friends.
Two. Three, if she counted her brother. There weren’t very many others she knew that she could really count as anything more than acquaintances, either.
Oh well.
1 comment = 1 F for Lisa.
It's another dream sequence, but this time riddled with foreshadowing for what's to come.
It won't go up just yet though. I've found myself in the habit of doing the bulk of the writing late at night (Between 12: and 1:30 AM), and then doing the editing after school later on.
Go read it or something. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Gonna drop another pre-written chapter tonight. After that, I'll update whenever I finish writing a new chapter. If I absolutely cannot write a new chapter for whatever reason, then I've got a small stockpile of prewritten and edited chapters to post on a temporary semi-weekly schedule or something.
So anyway, random tangent aside, enjoy the new chapter!
The rewrite of chapter "Unforgotten" is currently standing at roughly 2,600 words and counting, and I still don't consider it finished. This was originally supposed to be one of the final chapters of Part 2, providing plenty of new information to the readers to ease them into new conflicts in Part 3.
And I guess avoiding straight-up infodumping and instead writing it all into the story arc is just gonna balloon the chapter into the longest one yet in the Pony-Me universe.
Given how I'm in the process of rewriting Into Equestria from the ground up, I figured I'd might as well at the very least give y'all the chance to see what the story was going to be for some time. Keep in mind that the current iteration of Into Equestria is no longer considered canon to Pony-Me, even if the description has not yet been changed to reflect that.
because this chapter I'm writing is getting kinda long tbh and it hasn't even gotten to the longest part I have planned
o As they’re walking to the place where the breakfast buffet is being held, Timothy asks Lisa to guess how old he is, just as a bit of lighthearted joking.
§ Leads to a slight existential event in Lisa instead.
I have so many ideas for new stories floating around my head at this point. The thing is, only one of them is a one-shot that I'd be able to pull off in a short time, while the rest would likely end up demanding Pony-Me levels of time and dedication to bring to life.
First off is that story idea I pitched about a magical (not Narnia) world under a couch. Yes, I'm actually considering writing that.
