In a jarring change of events, Princess Celestia decided to crown Starlight Glimmer as a new princess of Equestria. Her dominion? The old village she used to rule with an iron fist, but now, expanded to be a large kingdom designed for any creature to live in it, no matter their species or origin.
Naturally, Starlight is apprehensive about her new rule, as well as unsure about what to do. Will she fall back into her old ways and try to harm her subjects, especially with her new power? Will she start a multi-nation war? Will she meet the all-powerful being who is responsible for her destiny? Only time will tell as Starlight braves the challenges of being a leader once again.
Tagged AU because I haven't completely kept up with the series so there will probably be multiple things I write that go against the actual show.
Base in coverart made by BronyBase on DA, rest was poorly drawn by me
An interesting idea, Star Horse deserves to live up to her full potential. I will add, however, that extra-bold text, even to emphasize shouting, it generally artefacts of weak writing. Typically, it's used when one doesn't know how to create emphasis and volume in a conversation through their words. Keep working, but be careful on that point moving onward.

That's an interesting point I haven't thought about before, thank you for bringing that up! :)
YOU'RE BACK! You have utterly no idea how much I missed you, my friend!

YES!!! I don't know how long I'll be back, but I wanna keep updating this story, so hopefully I don't completely disappear again lol
Well. This is going to be a trainwreck. Not the story or idea. Just Starlight being an alicorn and a princess with her own kingdom. Twilight doesnl't have one for a reason.

That's good. Of course, I still really love your Chosen Love story, even if it's not exactly aligned with the canonicity of the show anymore. Personally, I like your choices of shipping over ones officially picked in the show.

Yeah. Maybe they should have made her a princess of a concept like friendship or love. I think magic could fit her.
I love Starlight and she deserves to be a princess, but ruling a country is more trouble then its worth. Especially one filled with so many chaotic elements. Starlight needs to get used to the idea of being royalty before thrusting her into such a situation. That goes for anyone.
Luna, Celestia, and even Cadence had decades to get used to being rulers before actually ruling. They kind of just threw Starlight in the deep end here. And what makes it worse is that its a mixed species kingdom, something not even the sisters are doing. If it goes wrong, Starlight won't be to blame, because she literally has been thrown in with no training into an unknowable situation.
I think the best way to do this was for Celestia to have Starlight stay with Twilight. She could learn what Twilight knows about being a princess with responsibilties. Heck, the two could help each other in that aspect, because I still think Twilight needs to learn a bit more.

That’s a very good point! Personally, i wanted her to be in a kinda similar situation that Twilight is in, in the sense that they were both suddenly crowned and given royal duties. For Twilight, I see her kingdom as all of Equestria, and she may not be doing the heavy work and meetings Celestia and Luna are, but she still has a lot on her plate because she’s the one who keeps the kingdom happy and healthy, with being the princess of friendship and all. So, I think that she was thrown into a lot, maybe not having a whole kingdom to herself, but instead having to rule over a vast land and even beyond and having to take even more responsibility than the sisters at times. That’s just how I’ve interpreted it (what I love about this show is how everyone can have a different interpretation for events! It makes it fun lol). For Starlight and her rule, I picture her kingdom as being fairly small, about the size of the crystal empire, but maybe even a little smaller than that. So, overall, it’s pretty manageable, and since everyone living there now knows her/everyone moving in will have to want to move in instead of being forced, she won’t be ruling over creatures that completely hate her. That’s been my thought process for this story and why I made it so sudden, also because I think Starlight as a character is a strong leader, especially considering she’s been responsible to save all of Equestria. I think she knows a lot about other species because of her role in the school of friendship as well(or maybe not, I haven’t watched much of the new season so I could be completely off lol)
But thanks for the insightful comment! :) this is probably a rly long response but I appreciate you challenging my writing! Your comment will help me continue building this story to be stronger and more enjoyable. :))
JARP! Before I say anything else this story is off to a good start I think. NOW I read your blog post and I figured you were in high school and had stuff to do. In all honesty I didn't expect you to post again, especially after I read that you're in marching band. It's nice to see you post again.
I really Love this story! I hope you update soon!
A Communist turned into a Tsarina. Interesting. :)
Will be new chapter?
