CURRENTLY IN THE PROCESS OF REWRITING
NOT UP TO DATE WITH THE CURRENT PRODUCTION OF THE EQUESTRIAN CYCLE
Nax was a simple Changeling soldier, born and bred for war. But when left broken and alone in the wake of the Battle of Canterlot, Nax unwittingly finds himself cast into a role he could never have imagined and set on a path that will lead him not only to a new life in Ponyville, but to the rediscovery of a secret that could shift the balance of power in Equus forever.

But as Nax relishes in his newfound peace, forces in Equestria and beyond conspire for power, glory, and blood. And when both Nax’s old world and new worlds come to a crossroad of prejudice and hate, he’ll be forced to make a perilous choice. A choice that could lead all his friends, both pony and changeling alike, down a dangerous new road.

Will he be a harbinger of war, or a paragon of peace?

Why does this seem so similar to my story Changeling? :ajbemused:

2406896 Is it?
(quickly takes a look at the story in question)
OH SHIT!:twilightoops::twilightoops::twilightoops:
Any similarity to your story is completely unintentional. I just wanted to write an interesting story, I haven't read yours before so I hope my plan is different fro your story. I honestly hadn't even heard of your story before I started writing this.

(possible spoilers for this story if I'm right (to anyone who reads this comment), and definite spoilers for my story if I ever finish it)
is the Changeling going to meet Fluttershy, and fall in love with her, and then go through a long period of time where he questions everything he has ever been taught?

Whoo that was a doozy. This story definitely has a very promising start, and the thought you'd obviously put into the inner workings of Changeling culture is admirable. I cannot wait to see how Nax's tale will develop; the only thing I'm disappointed about right now is that there aren't more chapters for me to read. :yay:

Oh well now I just have to read the rest of the story, but I can't read the rest, you should fix that.

Take the request for more as enough proof that its a good story and take the rest as extra praise.

Okay now that I'm done just writing matter of factly I must say you've done a great job so far, the problem that stands out to me the most is the fact that with such long chapters, it would be difficult to update frequently. Other than this you appear to have the first four chapters of a good story here, and I can only look forward to more.

Interesting they are called "stock"...

I like what you have so far. We only just realized that you made the changeling nation scottish! Whoa! I think this would be the first time for that, congratulations!
Judging from time cues it seems that the current time point is about a month and a half post invasion, hopefully this equates to Equestria being a little more relaxed.
How has he not starved from love deprivation? Granted, you have not really set a cannon for that, but by our estimation he should be in the second stage of neurologic shock. Then again, it would explain his low healing rate.
Keep going! ;)

the writing style you are using is great. It does have a lot of telling over showing but seeing that it's a flashback I'll bypass that. Can't wait for more!

4426213 Yes. This story is still going on. I'm am just going through some very important things with real life and a terrible case of writers block. The next chapter is still in the works and will come out. I promise.

4427954 When is this going to be continued? Kinda want to read it.

6063350 I've actually discussed this several times on my journals. This story is definitely still ongoing; its just that as the story has been written I've been forced to the expand the story more and more with every upload. This has forced me to include an entire preceding arc of stories that will need to be written first. In addition, this story will need to be entirely rewritten. In fact, most of the material written here, will more than likely be moved into a story of its own with additional storylines added, with A Paragon of Peace starting much later than it currently is.

I am happy that you are excited to read my story and I promise you, when everything is done. It will be well worth it. You can keep an eye on my progress through my journals which I'll update regularly.

If you trying to make your story cannon to the show is that what you been trying to do?

This story wasn't all that great. After your panel at TrotCon, I was expecting something a bit more... I dunno, spectacular? But what I've read so far just doesn't do it for me. I think the main issue is that the idea just isn't that original. Stories about changelings trying their hand at friendship after the battle of Canterlot is such an age old trope that it's almost hard to believe someone as talented as you would write it.

Also, not to be rude, but I don't see how you can call this an "epic series" like you did at the con when it's 4 chapters long, hasn't been worked on in nearly four years now, and it's not even a series. A series is a franchise with more than one entry. You have one unfinished entry.

All in all, the writing was decent but the idea was hackneyed and overdone. I'm going to leave a downvote for now, I just thought you'd like a reason for that downvote. Have a great day, dude.

Wait, this was the writer at the panel from Trotcon? Oh! I didn't know they wrote My Little Dashie.
