A user-driven story! Take control of your favorite characters using the comments! This is a story where you get to decide what happens. The plot, the actions, the events, that's all up to you. Just read the introduction to learn how to play. Have Fun! Inspired by the works of Andrew Hussie at http://www.mspaintadventures.com/
This is a user-driven story similar to those found at http://www.mspaintadventures.com/, the primary difference being that eight characters are controlled at once (the Mane 6, Spike and Derpy). To input a command in, type the name of a character you are commanding, followed by the action in the comments. For example:
Twilight: Read book.
When I receive at least one command from all seven characters, I will write a new chapter in reaction to the commands. I will choose my favorite of each of the commands to work with, and yes, you can submit multiple in one comment, but that does not guarantee all will be used. Have fun!
