Genesis

Foreword

Greetings! I'm glad you've decided to give my story a shot. I've put lots of time, energy, sweat, and tears into the characters you're about to meet and the story that shall soon unfold.

The context of this story is quite confusing at first, due to the way I've chosen to deliver it. It was originally intended to be a webcomic, but I found that that was a little too time-consuming for someone as busy as myself. After about 40 pages I discontinued the comic, feeling a bit pressured and having been under fire from trolls and the like. I didn't expect to ever continue, but recently I took a second look at the vast universe I'd created, as well as the countless people who were longing for closure. I decided to tell the story as I saw fit, a little different from the original draft- but ultimately more satisfying and deep.

Approximately 1/2 of the plot has already occurred pre-prologue, and will continue on from there. The first half, from the birth of the major characters to where the comic would have ended, will be explored in flashbacks. I'm mainly saying this because many older fans of the comic have contacted me asking what the hell was going on.

I'll try my best to keep the writing as consistent and pleasing as possible. While I love writing, I can't say I'm an expert. The story will update slowly but surely, because I don't think I'll have rest until my characters do, as well.

Other than that, I don't have much to say! Sit back, relax, grab a pop, and enjoy the story. Onward to Chapter 1!

(PS- I may also use this chapter as an infodump/ reference place. If things go as planned, I'll have recaps, character references, family trees, ect stored away here.)

Can't wait for it. It still makes me sad to think about what won't be, though. I can't stay mad at you, however, for all the amazing things you've introduced me to, such as Homestuck.

I'm gonna go with something like this: http://www.fimfiction.net/story/18786/Field-Notes-on-Alicorn-Reproductive-Behavior , but it isn't random. Instead I would assume Unicorns can help ponies to change between genders... Imma get off this topic now XD

1065004 I read the comic, so I know HOW it happened... Oh, btw: GIT YER MIND OUT OF THE GUTTER!

This is how it worked: Celestia blessed them (and if I remember correctly: Twilight and Pinkie too.).

I hope that was a pritty good explanation.
