So it appears that the original fiction spinoff of Pony-Me has diverged so much from Pony-Me itself as far as original fiction lore that the only things I can carry between the two without change now are the characters. Even then, Lisa and Samantha are a bit different from Pony-Me. Ok, for Samantha she's pretty much been rewritten from the ground-up.
Lemme just say that there's gonna be quite a bit of new lore introduced in the short time before and after the end of Pony-Me part 2.
It's gonna be dealing with both the simulation itself, and how Twilight and Pinkie currently exist outside it as Lisa and Samantha.
Also, Timothy's gonna make a comeback to the current arc while Andrew will be leaving in the meantime.
Just be prepared for a story-changing batch of lore and character/worldbuilding.
Yeah, it's an AU of an AU that strips away all the pony that made the original AU an AU of MLP in the first place. Confused yet?
Yeah, me too.
Anyways, I'm writing a new Universal Framework document with loose ties to MLP. I've already expanded upon Lisa's backstory to include more than just "Lisa's parents died and she's sad so she made the simulations."

It's time. 
btw this is all in the original fiction so just ignore this if you want

Not gonna go easy on you this time. 
Unrelated to Into Equestria... mostly.
I've completed most of Chapter 1's conversion to original fiction. Take a look at the draft below. ^_^
My Own Reality
Everything seemed so real. The people, the places, the experiences, all nothing more than a simulation. With the abrupt severing of a single connection, it all comes crumbling down. Now, it's up to Lisa Garnet to find her way back, and along the way remember who she is... and who she was.
One of the multiple recurring conflicts throughout Pony-Me, the conflict of whether or not Twilight should return to the simulation, will be wrapping up and resolving within the next couple of chapters. In its place will be a new story arc focusing on Lisa and Samantha's lives after the simulation, which will take place at the beginning of Part 3.
Basic synopsis of Part 3 provided below the break for those eager to know.
haha lol
at least i have a good idea of how Pony-Me's gonna be ending now
Idunno, with my personal hiatus in full-swing, I've been able to get a good amount of study time in. At the same time, replacing my writing time with reading time either to study more or to whittle down my library has actually been quite nice to have.
But at the same time, things still feel the same. The only difference is that I now typically study some notes and/or read some unread chapters over the course of my regular writing period. Same workflow, same load, etc. etc.
After scrapping the old plans to just directly adapt Pony-Me's entire plot to original fiction and instead rewriting everything from the ground up, it's only taken three months to hit 10k words across six chapters.
Short to say, based off of that alone, I'm pretty sure that the original fiction adaptation is gonna be quite a bit longer than the OG Pony-Me, even when counting the guest chapters and bonus bits such as the April Fools' chapters.
Hit 45k words in the original fiction adaptation of Pony-Me!
Also, at this point in the story, it's largely diverged from nearly anything related to Pony-Me as far as plot goes. It's currently closer to Into Equestria in terms of plot than it is to Pony-Me, mainly because it cuts out several areas that were equivalent to some of Pony-Me's filler chapters such as the unnecessarily long roadtrip chapters.
1 - "Wake up" - draft 2
2 - "Take a look around" - draft 2 (unfinished)
Chapter 2 is currently ongoing revision after an awkwardly-written (and unnecessary) dream sequence. I've temporarily removed it from the chapter, and I'll likely do some major rewriting tonight.
I've since added quite a bit more to the first chapter, exploring additional aspects of the story's world that previously was assumed via Pony-Me's connection to the MLP universe. For example, the friendship between Twilight and Pinkie is instead transposed into Rebecca and Julie, with the latter still somewhat holding onto Pinkie's personality, but becoming largely a much more original character in and of herself, with additional traits contradicting Pinkie's to likely be revealed in later
My Own Reality: Chapter 3 is currently in the works, and is the first chapter to fully diverge from the story's Pony-Me counterpart. As such, it's quite a bit harder to work with. I'll post what I've written so far below for feedback.
I'm trying to figure out potential ways to make Pony-Me, and by extension, My Own Reality more unique. Not simply by avoiding common cliches that are now solidly established by films such as The Matrix or Ready Player One, but by creating something that truly hasn't been done before in this category of science fiction.
See you there! 
I just figured out the perfect way to combine the intended ending of Into Equestria with Pony-Me's official ending. 
Like, y'know that part where Lisa/Twilight returns to Equestria and has a talk with Celestia and says goodbye and all?
That's gonna be the flashpoint of the story.
Also, this is all actually stuff I came up with for the original fiction adaptation, but I wrote it with the ability to carry things over to Pony-Me in mind. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Lisa going through an existential crisis in two different ways, that's what. Gotta love writing two versions of the same story! :V
Definitely getting closer to finishing though, but the chapter that goes up to publish isn't what I'm currently writing.
Guess what?
Timothy's back!
Original fiction version:
