Guardian of Equestria - Armyidiot



When Heaross, Guardian of Battleon, finds himself teleported to a colorful world full of adorable ponies, he makes an unbreakable promise to protect them, especially a certain newly ascended alicorn. Let's hope he doesn't kill everyone first, though.

The (possible) end of Guardian of Equestria

Note: This is literally just the blog post I made a few days ago. If you've already voted, then this does not concern you. I'm simply putting this up because at the time of this update, there are like only 5 votes on the strawpoll.

Guys, I have been talking with Azzy. In his own words to understand my plight, "the train has broken down and either needs to be pushed, or needs new wheels." Guardian of Equestria, while I am happy with the story, has lost my interest. Now, I do have a few answers to why. One, I want to redo earlier chapters as well as start the story from the beginning of MLP instead of at season 4. Two, I want to better plan the story, to try and avoid plotholes and more thoroughly explain the characters and headcanons in it. Three, there are a few more.. let's call them details that I want to add to at least make the story more interesting for both myself to write, and for you guys to read. Now, this does not definitively mean that Guardian of Equestria is ending where it is. I do at the least want to wrap up where we are and make sure that Wind Gust gets his due. Trust me, I want as much as you guys do to see him dead. Afterwards though? I don't want to be stuck for months and all I have to show for it is some small 1k words in an interlude that doesn't even mean anything.

That is why I have now made a strawpoll! If ever there was a time to tell me to hurry the fuck up, now is that time! I have put up three choices for you all to choose from, and they each outline what route I would be taking in the future.

1. "The story should be ended, and redone from the start." What is says on the tin. I will restart GoE from season 1 and continue onwards from there, with Heaross as the main character, and involving himself in the many affairs of the ponies.

2. "The story should be ended, and redone with several new twists to the formula." Again, what is says on the tin. Though this time, I will be adding many new tidbits to enjoy throughout the story, as well as increasing the main cast, not counting ponies. Trust me, if this option gets picked, Heaross won't be the main focus.

3. "The story should continue as is and not be redone." For the last time, what it says on the tin. Fic continues as is, no changes to the story. Personally, I both love and hate this option. Love, as I don't want to see what little progress I've made go to waste, but hate as I just have trouble imagining myself continuing.

So, vote! In one week's time, on 8/3, 10PM CDT, the poll will close and the results will be taken into consideration.

Thanks for reading everyone! Battle On!

With option 1, will the romance still be the same in the redo? Kinda liked the ship.

Currently unsure. My plans change quite frequently when writing, leading to many a headache for Azzy and myself. While I can give a very shaky yes, don't expect every single facet to remain the same. If Twilight and Heaross do end up together in the remake, I promise to atone for my sins and actually build it up over several chapters.

If it won't be Twilight, maybe Luna. I liked writing Luna.

Already told a guy this in the blog post, put your vote in the strawpoll, not the comments.

I made my choice, but in the end only you can choose the course of this story, just so you know this story is one of my favorites.

Thanks for reading, then! And I'm deeply grateful for the input. Azzy said that he'd prefer option 2, but if you've seen the results so far, then you'll know what's likely going to happen. I put up the strawpoll because I couldn't decide what route I wanted to take. Option 1, at least in my eyes, shows much more character, while option 2 would just be a small group of extremely op characters trying to get home. Granted, both have their audiences, but I like option 1's outcome as I can more fully explain Heaross. And trust me, I will plan this fucker to a T.

Lets see what fate will do, personally Id like to see a harem in the remake.

You just got a laugh, an incredulous shake of the head, and in reply a "No."

okay what show's or games is this from?

Adventure Quest by Artix Entertainment. There is a link in the description of the story if you're interested in playing, and the game is free to play. Keep in mind though that for a more comprehensive story and better timeline, I created essentially an AU to run with for this story since the base game of AQ has many, many flaws in terms of storytelling.

he is like this in EVERY story this happens in....... i wish i was joking, but i’m not, :/

sometimes less, sometimes A LOT WORSE,

Yeah, I've seen a fair few fics myself that paint him as the ridiculously overprotective brother. I wanted to lampshade it here cause while it is in character for him, Shining really doesn't hold a candle to Heaross.
