We always see these people-turned-pony dealing with their appocalyptic situations in the relative comfort of their own homes/bases...but what if you're not at home when all of humanity disappears and you're left as a cute little pony in a bad place.
3rd person it OK. But, I'd use 1st person. You could have a group of survivors sitting around a camp fire 1, 10 or 20 years later telling these stories. You could add a new chapter before the others to bring it into that setting and maybe edit in a small prelude and epilogue with everyone laughing about the story and how far they've come. Sort of bragging about how their survival was the most "hard-core".
6063691 That's completely fine. I'd love to see how that turns out. Feel free to use any of my characters and any of the settings I put them in, it would be a shame to see them not be used at all after this story is done.
I have a suggestion for another one! I remember you asked for some.
A radio dj wakes up at noon in his own home, with a hangover, on holiday. First he's shocked he's transformed, then he discovers he's alone in the city.
He travels to his place of work the next day, records a message for survivors, and begins to broadcast it.
So far you haven't explored the personal loss of the characters. Friends, family, the lives they no longer have. I hope you explore some of these things, it can be really emotional.
1. Really diggin' the new style on this chapter. I feel like I may've set a bad president with the journal format and I'm always glad to see stories that don't feel bound to it. On a meta level, the whole story is breaking from the mold; having these short episodes is very interesting. Are you going to keep going with vignettes like this until you run out of ideas, or revisit old characters in future chapters? 2. She learned how to use magic really quickly. A few hours or days, that's pretty nuts. Must have a rare gift, that one. Since there weren't any mystical circles on the cruise ship to cheat having to learn, I mean.
Sil. Is she an honorspren? (if you don't know what that is then she isn't I'm sure)

Idk, just an idea. It'd give these some context.
6062917 Hmm, perhaps some context would help, I'll see what I can come up with.
I'm sorry. I had to.
I am definitely including these two ponies in my story. (Gonna eventually roam all of the US.)

6063739 Okay. I'll include them when I get to Florida.
6063879 Good question, but no. My character came first I believe.
Hmm.... So this is just a story of people in bad places when the change happens

Silvia continued to the elevator that went to the bridge and pushed the button marked bridge with her magic.
