During the "Off The Mark" saga, Mark Wells visited many alternate worlds. To recap, aside from the show canon ones, there were worlds where:

0. Starlight's cult had destroyed civilization.
1. Every character was the opposite sex.
2. Every character was an anthro.
3. An epidemic killed almost every male.
4. Chrysalis was Cadance's teenage friend and grew up to be married to her and Shining Armor.
5. Celestia was the alicorn who was corrupted and wiped out all life in the world.

It's about time I promoted this. Shadow Quill has started doing a dramatic reading of "A Different Perspective" and he has four episodes done so far. It is his intention to do the entire novel, so he has his work cut out for him. Anyway, if that sort of thing interests you, check it out on YouTube. Here's a link to the first episode.

In brief, my reaction to the Season 6 finale as seen on UK TV with regards to my stories is:

"ARRRRRGGGGH!"

My collaborator – AlaskaIsCold – has started writing a side-fic based near the end of "A Different Perspective". Those of you who are familiar with the story know of the plan to bring Princess Iridia of the Green Hive over to help Queen Gossamer set up the new Chrome Hive. It's a big departure from the life she has known until now, and she writes home frequently to her mother, Queen Dianthia. These are

Okay, if you have now seen the premiere of Season 6, do you realize just how similar that scene of restoring the Crystal Heart is to the illustration in Chapter 18 of "A Different Perspective"? I'm boggled even if you're not.

How many of you prefer reading from a good old-fashioned paperback book? Despite the amount that I read online, actual books are still my preferred format, and it's the same for many other people. That's why A Different Perspective is now available in paperback format! It even includes all the illustrations, although sadly only in greyscale.

I just love it when something I create inspires my readers. I'm absolutely overwhelmed when one of those readers likes a story so much that he gifts me with art for a scene that he wanted to see illustrated. I have now added a new picture to the "Ascendancy" chapter of "A Different Perspective. Thanks, Jeff!

For those who have already seen chapter 16, I have added an illustration of the Skyshark. The concept designs were done by Baron Engel whom you can find on Deviant Art and Fur Affinity.

I must admit that I am in two minds about this, but what happens when a griffon has a chick? Is it a live birth, or do they lay an egg? While they are predominantly avian in many aspects, all their reproductive organs are in the mammalian part of their anatomy. For that reason, I favor live birth. However, I'd like to hear your opinions on this. It's not critical to my story, but I'd like to be consistent for the right reasons.

Well, seeing as the vast majority of commenters on the latest chapters seem to have little to say about them except that things are too rushed, you can wait for the next chapter when I feel like writing again. It's not as if there weren't lots of other things to discuss in them, things that I thought were interesting, world-building, or funny, but no, most people couldn't say more than exactly the same thing everyone else said, or commenting on their comments and then leaving extra comments
