APP: The Fall of a Pink Pony is the prequel novella to my ask-blog-turned-comic, Ask-Pink-Pony (also on DeviantART).

These events begin during the “Party of One” (S1:E25) episode, with the first two chapters reliving the same events--now exclusively from Pinkie Pie's perspective--until the timeline diverges. To continue the story, please go to the beginning of the comic.

(Started: October 15th, ‎2017 - Finished: July 25th, 2018)

mirando el lado bueno : al menos ya te encontré aquí y podré leer tu trabajo.:pinkiehappy:

I hope they shatter

I hope the elements of harmony shatter into dust and discord took over equestria in her absence.

Well, they didn't shatter per se, but the element of laughter did crack ^^

I can see why that happened, but considering: Rainbow Dash was disloyal, Fluttershy was unkind, Rarity was selfish, and... well OK maybe AJ was Honest but Twilight was definitely not friendly, so that should be a minimum of 5 of the 6 of the elements that crack or at least fail to work.

Yeah. People will find out what happened to the others when Pinkie returns to Ponyville, it's just taking me a very long time to get that far through the comic medium. It makes me wonder if I should abandon it and write the whole thing as a novel... I can't decide either way. Neither are particularly successful, but the comic does seem to reach a wider audience.

But yeah, I can reveal that the elements have--for the most part--lost their power. All it took was for one element to not be present for the rest not to function anyway, but most of the ponies have lost their individual connections to the elements too. And Discord being Discord was not oblivious to this situation. That's all I'll say for now :P

None of that surprises me.

I want to suggest that Twilight was corrupted in some way, but ever since season 3 ended I've grown to hate canon!Twilight more each year so I now believe this was just her being the bitch she's always been.

As to what medium you should use, I can't suggest which one but I will suggest that you try and focus on getting it done either way. I had the hardest time getting any work out until this year when I finally resolved to post a new chapter of either of my ongoing stories (not MLP so not here) every week on a Sunday or Monday if I'm running late (twice I posted on the Thursday before when I got a massive flurry of inspiration). So far I've managed to do just that for over the last three months. Yes I sometimes stay up much too late writing furiously to make up for a lot of procrastination but it's helped me to keep up the schedule and keep my output steady. It's hard, it's real work and takes a lot of effort and sleepless nights to keep it up, but I find that forcing myself to do this and making time even when I want to do something else is better for my creativity than just waiting "until I'm in the mood" like I did for years before.

That's good advice, thank you! It's just hard to commit myself to something when nothing I do seems to go anywhere. I certainly couldn't write and proofread a chapter per week, that's very impressive. Given that I'm not fully dedicated to writing, and certainly not capable of doing it professionally, consistency is hard to achieve, particularly with a mixture of dyslexia and ADHD. But I'll soldier on, one way or another. I just wish I were faster, I've already missed the window that people were interested in my story :P

I've been there, I am there. I have asperger's syndrome and I missed the window of popularity for my stories years ago. I write Care Bears Fanficiton and I maybe have a dozen people who regularly read my stories at least MLP still has popular attention, my fandom peaked around 2005-2008 and ever since then it's been a small community that doesn't do much and hasn't been relevant on the internet for years, but still I soldier on because I want to bring this story I have in my mind to the world.

I've learned that the most important thing you can do is to be consistent and frequent with your updates, set a schedule and deadline for new installments and stick to it. I've slowly gained a few more readers over the last few months, more than I've seen in years, because they can expect something new every week and I hope it brings them happiness (not too sure as few of them comment on my work) but someday I hope that I will have people read and talk about my stories that will keep me motivated as I move into original fiction that I can publish.

Never give up and find the time, it will be worth it believe me. And by that same note, don't bemoan when you procrastinate, much as I would have loved to get my story out when there were tons of Care Bear fans to read my stories, had I written back then like I do now my characters would have been lackluster at best and ideas I never considered would not have been created. Din't procrastinate as a rule but don't disregard the ideas that come out when your brain takes a break.

That was a good story. I wonder if Pinkies former friends are being mind controlled or just insane.
