I decided to recommend a fanfiction! It's Letters From the Moon by IsabellaAmoreSirenix. Remember in my last post how I mentioned I dislike negative portrayals of Celestia? Scratch that. In this story Luna's fall is at least partially Celestia's fault and it is written exceedingly well. It is a completely heartbreaking and beautiful fic exploring the relationship between the Royal Sisters and their mutual redemption.

Thinking about world-building, I came to the realization that I basically read a lot and then slice, grind, mix and bake things. I may expand a bit on this later, but for now I thought about sharing cool things that influence me, that are good examples of original or solid setting creation, or that simply let you think about details in a different manner. This will have to wait for a dedicated post, in the meantime:

I found the first ever mlp work of fiction I ever read. :|
Why is this important for me to share?
