Set in PonyEarthverse *Now part of canon!*
Just when things couldn't be weirder with people on Earth randomly turning into ponies and the week now being the length of a year, the next unsuspecting and unassuming victim of Discord's game wakes as the pony Amethyst Star! Initially intent to confront the Princesses for answers in New York, he (now she) changes plans after an incident where some members of an anti-pony hate group decide to go to far more extreme lengths to get their 'message' across. Deciding to fight back with a message of her own, Amethyst resurrects an heroic symbol from the series long gone but not forgotten...
u r still going to be continuing Dashies adventures as Mare Do Well in addition to this new line...yes?
2862775
Yes! I still have the final chapter of Mare Do Well: The Series to make, and then later on once I've outlined it I'll make the full-length sequel to it. Don't worry, Dashie's MDW adventures are not over!
2864037 final chapter to the the series? oh i dont think so...after all, Mare Do Well is ever watchful, and Shadowbolt has slipped from her in the past. even now, with the remains of this criminal cartel under her hoof. Shadowbolts first loyalty is to herself, and there is ever the possibility that Gametime or some other past villain will escape or be released. it has happened before...it can and will happen again...

LOL Last chapter of that fic. Don't worry, the "Series" fic will end on a very open note, allowing for me or anyone to be free to write slice-of-life fics of her experiencing another adventure before I have the next 'major' story come along.
Sweet
On another note, I've recently bought a book at the local comic convention detailing interviews the writer had done with the 'real-life' superheroes you sometimes hear about; people who actually do dress up and fight crime, help charities, etc; figured it'd be good research material for this tale!
and now...begin with the Flame...awaken...Mare Do Well...
Is this going to react with the In-Universe Solar and Lunar 'guards' present in some of the side-fics? if so, How? (The 'Guards' i'm talking about are a group of Bronies dedicated to protecting ponies from extremist PAPA agents and getting the ponies to New York.)
2926747
At the moment, Kyle/Amethyst and Steph are focused on their own matters, with Amethyst about to undergo the practices and preparations to become Mare Do Well over the course of next chapter. I think her aggressive approach in that she wants to terrorize the extremists as much as possible as well as protect ponies will be interesting to play off of if she meets these Guards tho.
Reminds me when I have time I need to catch up on reading those fics...
Amethyst x Flitter=Interesting
XD but in all seriousness,another great chapter!
That's an unusual jaw.

Indeed it is, unlike any other! doncha hate those typos that fool the spellcheck AND somehow slip past notice? thanks tho for spotting that
*goes to FIX!*
I'll hold you to that.
3058498
Oohhhhh riiiiiiiight you're writing Pinkie Pie aren't you.... (EXPLETIVE!)
Don't worry, I'll go through with it lol
On a sidenote I do love Winds Of Change, btw
Oh BTW Tome is working on a BIIIIIIG magic mechanics document.
3108613
Yeah, I vaguely remember a draft of it we were shown once. vaguely, which was why I tried to be the same here till it gets finished
3109220
The big complaint is "Magic works with imagination." That... that was dumped right off the bat. So... Sparkler's suggestion only works if your special talent is teleportation or teleportation related, or you have the right mindset.
3109275
I remember the thing about not being imagination-powered(or it'd be saying unicorns or ponies who didn't use it often had no imagination, which is absurd), I was trying to follow a mindset of how most basic and lowbie teleportation works; Having to see and know where you're going so you know the spot when you're displaced and returned, usually having to go straight forward, and tried to go with the most basic one that'd possibly be a 'standard-issue' lesson as it'd seem likely a school for gifted unicorns in Canterlot would teach several basic spells beyond the usual telekinesis but I probably should have worded it differently. I just did some fixes that are hopefully more along the line of what was had in mind. Sent message so something can be worked out for long term and I'll be glad to fix it accordingly
Nooooooooooo1!!!!!! The book doesn't have any chapters left!oh well hope it'll update soon!
3165417
It's about to right about... now (presses button)
Hey look a new chapter!
Thanks for inspiring me. Ya I pretty much implied that.
My god that was intense. I actually felt like tearing that guy apart when read that. Hope the government starts cracking down on these bastards.
3310465
Thanks! I have another chapter in the works I hope to have up this weekend(this month's gonna be tight on me due to moving). And yeah I definitely wanted the main antagonist that MDW would have to face be both a formidable opponent and also someone vile enough to be seen a real danger to ponified people in the story's location. And I'd say I got the reaction I was hoping for, because this won't be the last time MDW deals with him

Ooh, the plot thickens... I certainly can't wait to see how things turn up for our heroes.
Oh I can't wait to see the papa bastards pay for what they do. I never truly understand these people. The religions of the world always tell people to love and tolerate one another. And yet when something new appears they use the religious sayings and twist them so they can hate and destroy the thing. They aren't really followers of The Lord when they do things like that in my opinion. They are just hate mongers.
3438436
Exactly, and them actually believing such twisted convictions makes them that much scarier. They don't think their actions, no matter how heinous, are wrong at all; and rather believe everyone else is wrong for saying they are.
I wanted to make sure MDW has an enemy who isn't just some bumbling sign-waver, but someone who's just as dedicated to 'sending a message' and poses a genuine threat to those that were ponified.

Thanks, I'm hoping to update again by thanksgiving weekend at the absolute latest!
How is Star going to react when she finds out you... uh... used her body that way?
3510767
That's already been thought of next chapter
It's the weekend! (looks at watch intently)
You've done an incredibly good job at makeing me hate the papa group! They do complete opposite of the to best things you can do with your life: follow Jesus and watch mlp! Of course, it would be almost trinary level writing if you could manage to make us sympathies these guys in the future.
3559841
Truth be told, many of them are more 'suers then doers' essentally just annoying and disrespectful fearmongers, the group that showed up here is one who has taken to following a charismatic but dangerous man who tells them what they want to hear; gives them a 'solution' and that their actions are punishing a race that 'took' their loved ones from them. Sound familiar?
But it also, I'm hoping, opens the door to allow some more sympathetic members eventually
Yay it's out now! My watch was right! Oh crud l already finished it!
You are so busted
3564026
Hell hath no fury like a unicorn mare ticked
3564336
XD well if I was in this situation ... I would have some "fun" too
3564411
There's those times, I guess, where one gets so desperate for some sort of solace they do something without thinking everything through. Next chapter's gonna be fun to write
And the dream at the beginning?
3564648
Haha and I can't wait!
About the dream ... hehe even though I read the title, that part caught me so off guard that I thought it was actually happening until I realized it was a dream, but it sure was crazy
Kyle: (Urk... I am SO dead...)

Looking forward to seeing Amethyst chew him out. Speaking of her, this story's made her one of my favorite background ponies. I dunno why.
3566114
Thanks! I'm glad I was able to do that for ya
Background ponies are fun to work with given their flexibility
Have to agree here. I own it on DVD and I consider it one of my guilty pleasures, right up there with Lew Grade's cinema bomb Raise the Titanic!, The Final Countdown (F-14's vs. A6M Zeroes? yes please! ), Darkman (you'll never look at pink elephants the same way again) and The Rocketeer (Yeah, yeah, I'm one of those stupid people who needs a thrill. Guess what? Don't care).
wooo new chapter \o/
3829256
And now it's two! I figure it was good to make up for taking such a long time between updates
Woohoo! updated again XD

I take it you appreciated the movie reference at the end of the last chapter? Your previous comment reminded me of the movie and prompted me to go buy it!
3835364
Yeah, that and this chapter in general.
