#mylittlepony - #What if Nightmare Moon had been a long-term villain for the first seven seasons, and Luna was new?

What if Nightmare Moon had been a long-term villain for the first seven seasons, and Luna was new?

In an alternate universe, Princess Luna was a long-term villain and menaced the ponies for seven seasons, always getting defeated but also managing to always escape.

She's even the villain in the movie instead of the Storm King.

In the season seven finale, the Mane 7 (Starlight's whole deal still happened in this AU), Celestia and the Pillars manage to defeat her once and for all and turn her back to Princess Luna.

In season 8, Luna Eclipsed happened instead of Fake It Till You Make It, and A Royal Problem happened instead of The End In Friend.

How would people react to Luna in this scenario?

#mylittlepony - #There should be an episode focused on Princesses Celestia and Luna being summoned by the cutie map

There should be an episode focused on Princesses Celestia and Luna being summoned by the cutie map

I got this idea earlier, I think maybe before I fell asleep last night; what if there was an episode focusing on an adventure Princesses Celestia and Luna are called to? The map summons them to solve a friendship problem, probably a very important one since it has to do with the sun and the moon. Maybe another major antagonist changes the sun and moon's timing so the day and night conflict and become abnormalized, or perhaps all the princesses (including Cadance) are simultaneously summoned to fight a greater Tirek-like villain, or even better to use the magic of friendship (not the elements of harmony) to befriend the foe, even if together they are more powerful than their enemy.

Other than to Twilight, it's never happened to the princesses in any of the episodes before, so it would make for an interesting plot if the storywriters run out of ideas. What do you think?

#mylittlepony - #Fanfic postmortem: The Enchanted Library

Fanfic postmortem: The Enchanted Library

^{[ Previous review ]}

What is it?

The Enchanted Library by Monochromatic is an adventure mystery story set in an alternate Equestria. Celestia, Luna, Cadance, and Twilight are simply figures of legend; fairy tales from the distant past that no-one believes. That is, until Rarity accidentally stumbles upon the ghostly Princess Twilight Sparkle, trapped for eternity in an enchanted library beneath the Everfree Forest, and determines to set her free.

The story is divided about equally between between uncovering the secrets of the ghostly princess's past (mystery/drama), Rarity's adventures trying to break the curse (action/adventure), and the growing relationship between the two (romance/slice of life). It's a fairly lengthy fic, around 350k words.

What I liked

The characters start off pretty similar to their shows counterparts, but grow and change in slightly different ways as the story progresses. Rarity is handled particularly well in this regard. She's still the wonderfully charming, creative, and witty seamstress - the writer really nails her characterisztion - but her role as protagonist forces her to become more adventerous and driven. By the end of the book, she's still 100% Rarity, but an interestingly different take on Rarity: a confident, clever, and charismatic leader, fighting ancient curses while still maintaining her passion for fashion.

This AU actually makes quite a few changes to the lore and setting. They start small and are introduced slowly, but still they pile up, and the story does a good job of keeping things internally consistent. Several times throughout the story some small, seemingly trivial change to the world will turn be a logical and necessary side effect of some other, more significant change not yet revealed. These serve as both foreshadowing of the larger changes, and are satisfying little mysteries in their own right.

I'm not especially interested in Raritwi, but this ship had me grinning. The author does a great job of making their interactions mostly cute and funny, and also making the more emotional moments quite sweet and heartfelt.

What I disliked

I'm hesitant to say this, as I generally enjoyed the slow pace, but overall I think the story was too long. It wasn't boring, almost the opposite: I was so interested in what happened next that I wanted the scene or chapter to be over so the next one could begin. Some parts stretched out just a liiittle too long, while I was impatiently thinking "Yes, yes, I get it, could we hurry along?" Similarly, a number of lesser plot twists were pretty easy to guess a chapter or two early, leaving me wishing the characters would hurry up and connect the dots. I should stress that this was a pretty mild problem, but also a frequent one.

Oddly enough, the last act seemed to suffer the opposite problem. A couple of long term problems are suddenly resolved with relatively little effort, and just as suddenly some new complications are introduced. There's this big emotional climax near the end, and it feels like a great way to start wrapping up the story... and then it goes and throws another finale at the reader. While the odd pacing doesn't ruin the ending, it definitely undermines it.

Most of the story is relatively light-hearted slice-of-life/adventure, with a few darker moments of drama or mystery sprinkled throughout. Halfway through the story, the tone suddenly gets much darker, and never entirely recovers. This may be my personal bias showing, but I felt the extreme change was a bit too much - while it made the drama that much more impactful, I'm not convinced it was worth it.

Mixed feelings

As mentioned above, the characters aren't quite the same as their show counterparts. In some cases this worked well - Rarity and Rainbow I thought were both interestingly different - but in other cases it felt a bit jarring. Overall, a mixed bag.

A lot of things were left unresolved for the sequel(s?) to deal with. This is good if you liked the story and want more, but bad if you're hoping for a standalone tale that wraps everything up neatly.

Final thoughts

The Enchanted Library was mildly frustrating to read and made a number of questionable decisions, but overall I definitely enjoyed it. The core character interactions and general moment-to-moment writing were just really solid and consistently enjoyable, a tough feat to keep up for 350k words. If this sounds like your cup of tea, give it a try and let me know how you go. If you're anything like me, you might end up being unable to put it down for a week.

Who's That Pony Artist?

Are you a big fan of pony artwork? What about multiple choice quizzes? If you said yes to either of these questions, then you should take the Who's That Pony Artist quiz! (And if not, you should still take it anyways cause it's all in good fun.)

Just match the artist's name to the corresponding artwork! It's that easy. Just like a Scantron test, except with cute ponies.
Also, I definitely stole this format from IS IT A FLUTTERSHY? so I have to give some credit to that.
QUIZ HERE (Don't forget to hit "View Score" at the end to see your results)

ARTWORK SOURCES HERE

Unfortunately, there are no prizes for doing particularly well on this quiz, but I'm hoping that the self-accomplishment you feel upon receiving a good score will be compensation enough for your time.

My Little Pony on Reddit - Meta Discussion. There. Nice and short. No extra words gumming things up. Not like last ti- Oh Noooo!!

Hi there! It's Thursday again and that means another chance to talk about what's been happening around here and how you feel about it!

Same as every other time, feel free to discuss whatever it is you'd like regarding our little subreddit good or bad. If you're unhappy we'll try our best to fix whatever problem you're having!

If you want to talk about the MLP fandom in general, that's fine too!

But some people may not want to talk about comics or anything else that hasn't happened yet, so you should be nice and hide those conversations from those people by using the spoiler tag.

If you don't know how it's as easy as making an emote:

[It has ponies!](/spoiler)

Becomes: It has ponies!

And if you're not wanting to discuss the subreddit or community specifically you can also check out the weekly off-topic thread that will be up at noon Pacific time!!!!

Have a great day, everyone!!
