Stories set in the Oversaturated World, some silly, some less so.
The other Sunset almost jumped as she felt the burner phone in her pocket buzz. Which was weird, because the only two people who would have any reason to call here were in this... bar? Restaurant? It felt a little too seedy to just be a restaurant (she shuddered inwardly at actually describing a place as "seedy.")
Frowning, she flipped the phone open, stepping away from their table, "Hello?"
"Sunset? Oh, thank Harmony I finally got it right!"
Sunset's eyes widened, and she glanced at the table where her comrades were looking at her with raised eyebrows.
"I-I'll be just a second."
Quickly, but hopefully not too quick as to draw attention, Sunset went for the exit and stepped outside, the cool air of the night welcoming and fresh compared to the stale air inside. Turning a corner, she hissed into the receiver, "Sunburst, how did you get this number?!"
Her brother's voice came from the other side. "I've been trying to find you ever since that other Sunset changed the whole world! I've been worried sick! I know you like to be independent, but I could only imagine what kind of trouble's been going on for you since you, well... basically resemble the physical manifestation of a god-like entity."
"Yeah, you could say that," Sunset grumbled.
"I tried reaching you at work, but your boss said you quit. Your apartment's empty. What happened?"
"Sunburst, this REALLY isn't any of your concern. I'm fine! More than fine! I'm great!" She lied.
"Sunset..."
"Look," Sunset said, "I'm kind of in the middle of something. Doing things with important people. Just forget about whatever dumb worries you have, okay? Everything'll blow over soon."
"So you admit there's trouble that needs blowing over?"
Sunset rolled her eyes, and then growled when she realized that even with the sometimes vaguely supernatural senses twins share, Sunburst wouldn't see her frustration, "Just back off, alright?"
"O-okay! Okay. Just... and I know you're gonna get angry, but don't do anything rash, okay?"
"Good BYE, Sunburst."
And with a flip, her brother was a problem no more. Great. Now she'd need to get a new number.
Some ties are more easily severed than others.

" Silly little stories set in the Oversaturated World. "
just a little reminder of what this is supposed to be

Yeah, this one's a pretty ominous batch. This idea's really catching fire with everyone. If nothing else, you'll probably enjoy my entry.
Also, you may have missed my reply to your earlier comment.
8270806
I did miss it initially and I know it's a multi-author work, I'm speaking to everyone

You're going to have much better luck in getting that message out in the group forum. I'm the only one who gets notifications when you post comments here; they'd have to come and look.

I don't see the Wholesome as adversaries. They are a contrast, but their goals roughly align with Sunset's goals. At least on a universal scale.
The fae, I think, are played out. While they could be a threat going forward, I don't really see much interesting coming from it.
The alternate Sunset's group are yet to show their hand, and that's where I think the next good story will come from.
The other tale I'm looking forward to is related to the wasteland alt universe that pony Starlight accidentally created.

I'm at least partially to blame for the tonal shift, given how much of a 'darker' mindset I have in general. Plus, I'm also the one that started this whole thing with the gathering of people who hate (or, at least, have issues with) Sunset Shimmer, not to mention the last snippet I wrote being what it was.
Doing lighthearted stuff is really hard for me, I'm afraid, so... I suppose 'I'm sorry' just comes off as even more self-pitying than the rest of this does.
At least this universe's Sunset and Sunburst are not magical clones of each other!
Right?

Well said. Too much Moffating going on, it kinda kills the mood when update day comes 'round.
The fae and the local Sunset storylines should really be their own separate stories I think, since it's quite difficult to follow the thread. As for Ravnica... I have no idea what's going on there, it seems quite out of place at the moment.
The Daring Do movie skit was great though.

This. All the complex-plot, Ravnica-and-conspiracy stuff really needs to be split off away from this and keep the focus of this story on what it was intended to be from the beginning. Because those chapters are kind of just...there for a LOT of us, apparently.
I mean, it makes sense to have a "fluffy, silly slice-of-life" group project and a "serious, hardcore planning stuff to happen" group project and never the twain shall meet, right?
These chapters are interesting, certainly, but they are hardly stand-alone vignettes.

Seconded. Though at least the coloured mana aspects of this HAVE had some side stories already. But it really feels like Group Participation has lost what it was that made it fun to begin with.

In and of itself, it's not bad. The whole premise of this story is experimentation and lots of different tones and styles. It is just that lately it has felt increasingly dominated by one or two story arcs, of a specific tone. It seems logical that, if this is so, then it might be time to put together something more tangible. That and the vagueness has lost it's mystery (for me, anyway) and has made its way to "irritating."

The Fae already got their story. The snippets here are just building upon what already happened, as far as I can see.
Yeah, it looks like the human Sunset has the same issues as pre-RR pony!Sunset. She's independent, yes, but also arrogant about her ability to solve her own problems and is wandering around under the delusion that what she wants is uniquely important and automatically right. People like that tend to cause trouble for themselves and others.
By rejecting all others, you end up in a one-person echo chamber. Refusing to accept that you could be wrong leads you to ever greater and greater mistakes.

I think it's better to discuss that on the group forum for now, but definitely aye here.

I don't think that this sub-story is all the same author. In the last half-dozen chapters, both MasterWeaver and ArtieStroke have posted chapters to it. Honestly, it's starting to sound like a forum task: Pick out which individual chapters serve this story, and post the series of links.
Not it.

I got the message, guys; I'm not writing any more short.

I hope you continue exploring and expanding these story arcs. It would be a terrible shame for all of this buildup to lead nowhere.
8276851
On it. I’m already collecting the titles that serve the Ravnica High, Fey, and Discord’s Rebellion plotlines. Do you have any other plotlines you think need gathered for easy access?
Done.
