I have two ideas started I really like, I only have time to write one, and they're close enough I can't just write the second one later!

So, with no spoilers, I ask you: Should I write a drama or a farce?

Tyromancy, Divination by Cheese.

Yes, this is a real thing. I'm as delighted as you are.

Why is this relevant to Ponies you ask? Well it occurs to me that the diviners we know, the Pies, are Earth Ponies. And that divination through cheese seems like exactly the kind of offbeat, craft based thing Earth Ponies would literally cook up.

And now I'm picturing an Equestrian Tiffany Aching, as an Earth Pony witch.

I don't care who you're voting for.

Well that's actually not true, I care a great deal.

But seriously, get out there and do it! It's the most important civic duty in a democracy.

So their life is in danger and this is not hyperbole. They're going to lose their house and wind up on the streets if we can't help. I know everyone has their own troubles but, please, if you can do anything to help them, you should.

So, obviously they're still at the Meddling Kids stage of their career. And that's fine, it's alot of fun. But at some point they're going to get serious about this right? Someone needs to make Sunset's comics a reality!

*ahem*

Anyway, just some thoughts on using them as a super team.

So, Sunset Shimmer in the Land of Enchantment. The first story I've really felt the need to do a retrospective on. I think I've definitely learned a lot about my writing, and it was immensely frustrating. I really had to beat my head against the wall to make this come out, and I'm still not quite happy with it. On the other hand, it also has some of my favorite things I've done.

So yeah, just had to un-submit my first story because it's really not working and I desperately need to fix it. Sunset Shimmer and the Desert Duplicate Dilemma will return, likely under another name, but SO much revision needed.

An Alternate Alternate Universe: Equestria Girls discovers access to a world of space and magic aetheric technology!

First of all, Starquestria laughs at your puny 'astrophysics' and 'physics' and 'relativity'. LAUGHS! This would be the softest of soft sci-fi, in the vein of Spaceman Spiff, with the only pretension to accuracy being that 'aetheric phyics' is literally magic under another name. This place has a similar unreality level to Diskworld.

With regards to worldbuilding that is.

First things first, I've recently seen a bunch of people suggesting CHS is a combined school because of the timeline. And it makes so much sense I can't believe I didn't think of it before.

Actually, FIRST things first...the Equestria Girls world shall be referred to as Pedestria unless otherwise noted. It wasn't my idea, but darn it I'm sharing that everywhere I can.

Parallel Worlds:

Just some thoughts on the subject.

So obviously the characters are speaking Equish, not English. It's a common global language. And one odd feature of Equestrian Equish is that it has pronoun suffixes to refer to the species you are talking about. This gives you opportunities to play with things.
