The After Years

by thewaffler

Question

I wrote 3 chapters at one time with 6 in total planned. The issue is, they don't follow Spike, Scootaloo, and their friends, but rather the adult characters such as Twilight and Donut Joe from Something More, Octavia and Vinyl Scratch from Stray Ardor, Fluttershy's side story and Applejack's side story.

They were written because of the numerous request for what said characters are up to in this story.

The question I have is, would you guys be okay with me posting these 3-6 chapters here or would you rather read them as separate stories?

These are the chapter summaries.

Applejack's Vacation: During the 5 years between Stray Ardor and The After Years, after the passing of Granny Smith, AJ goes to her uncle Orange to discuss expanding the Sweet Apple Acres name and when all is said and done Mosely Orange suggest or rather forces his niece to take a vacation.

Donuts with Sparkle Sprinkles: Set directly after the events of Something More, Donut Joe finally works up the courage to ask a certain question, but things don't necessarily go as planned for this baker of fried rings.
*No alicorn Twilight, because This was planned before the 3rd season finale*

Fluttershy's Family Reunion: Shy goes to a family reunion for the most neurotic family in Equestria and as usual every family has at least one black sheep.

Scratched Records: Octavia and Vinyl's relationship hits the breaks... and how will a tennis player and another DJ fill in the cracks?

A Secretary for the Mayor: Equestria's only human: Ron Ryans job becomes more complicated when the Mayor Mare decides to do something that could get her into a lot of trouble.

Sofas and Quills buy Barnyard Bargains: The business world is tough as Filthy Rich finds that his stocks take a considerable hit and being arrogant he figures that no one in town would take advantage of this situation, but Filthy will find out the cost of his poor decisions when Davenport the owner of Sofa's and Quills decides to strike while the iron is hot.

So, let me know if your guys are cool with me posting these chapters here or as separate stories.

Separate stories please. All of these sidestories would take up too much space in The After Years.

I believe they should be listed as a separate collection of stories.

Seperate stories.

I like to add little things in there to leave folks guessing, it doesn't take away from anything. That way in the future I have source material for other stories.

When I first got into the fandom, Snips and Snails weren't that bad, but as the show went on, they got worse and went from irrational to completely stupid. Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon are bullies, but their character basically stayed the same.

All I can say is, that Snips and Snails get "better" in the later chapters.

2731135 well in my opinion I like these two (in fact they remind me of myself ) but their stupidity in my personal opinion is innocent, in my head cannon I believe that maybe it was something there parents did or the fact that kids always made fun of them they were treated like out casts so they don't care what people think if they were stupid they were stupid but the thing that just angers me about this fic is because of the fact rumble comes out of no where and two robots fall for him and end up sleeping with him...sometimes when things like that happens it makes me believe well if there stupidity dosen't get them laid then how come derpy is with the dr in this fandom and all the jersey shore people get some as well (and if anyone says they look good.....no) and besides patrick from spongebob in the newer seasons is my example of stupidity gone wrong..im not trying to tell you how to write a fan fic its just...man I just feel ad for them and if society wants to trat eople that are different like outcasts cause there not "Smart" or "good looking" look at lil wayne folks...just...look
