Re: My Little Pony XL: The Plot Thickens!
I know this may sound a bit more serious than normal for this thread, but I have a concern running through my head and I thought: why not ask my fellow bronies? So here it is.
If I'm writing a fanfic, is it normal to become attached to the characters that I create? :/

Re: My Little Pony XL: The Plot Thickens!
I took the Rarity pony creator on the wedding website for a spin. It has a surprising number of options, I was impressed. What do you think?

Re: My Little Pony XL: The Plot Thickens!
Totally normal. You created them, their your beloved creations so it's normal to get attached, with the time you put in.
Then you put them as you than it's not normal.

Re: My Little Pony XL: The Plot Thickens!
Hmm, I can't quite recall what you're referring to.
Ook.
Ah, yes, thank you Igor, now I remember. I believe the AI you're referring to was the backup OFC control system, which briefly took over after my ship was infected with the original AI, PINKIE.
I'm still here, silly!

Re: My Little Pony XL: The Plot Thickens!
I can't speak for Thanqol, but I picked up the main Exalted rulebook about a year and half ago. I tried running one game of it, but my more lecherous friend got a little hung up on his character's motivation and we didn't get very far. I just like reading about it, charm names are amazing.

Re: My Little Pony XL: The Plot Thickens!
Spoiler...less horrifying.
There might be a story in here somewhere. The plot of Chrono Cross involved the AI competing with these draconic gods for control of the world. And the dragons wanted to lead the non human races against mankind. The main characters, naturally, get caught in the middle.
Not sure it should be called the DMV (Department of Aerial Vehicles or Ponies, maybe), but I'd suggest Now Serving Number 20. I heard plenty of similar announcements when I had to renew my license.
By the way, how long did it take for us to almost finish this thread, anyway? I could swear we were only halfway done a day ago.
Isn't that the concept behind the game Nobilis?Last edited by RdMarquis; 2012-04-02 at 10:38 PM.

Re: My Little Pony XL: The Plot Thickens!
If Thanqol were less abstract in his drawing, potentially the Element of Hot Pony Kisses (Benson). To be honest, I'm surprised the two of you haven't teamed up for some sort of buddy-cop hijinks. Except instead of catching crooks with gratuitous explosions, you'd be working relationship magic...with gratuitous explosions.

The courts are still deliberating on it, but this may or may not be informative. Further discussion is quite legal and beyond the bounds of this forum.

Re: My Little Pony XL: The Plot Thickens!
Yes. An important skill is knowing how to be cruel to them despite this.
(Thanqol, you know what I am talking about, sort of. Don't worry though I'm not talking 'bout Charger. She's all yours.)
Yes, this.
I played Exalted pretty much exclusively from 2008-2011, whereupon my darling became Mage. I've played a LOT of Exalted, and the only reason I'm not so interested in it any more is because I've played out every story and every character that possibly interested me.
It was some of my best gaming ever, but I feel like I'm done with it - at least for now.
Celestia and Luna, as Gentry themselves, wouldn't allow iron in Equestria in the first place.

Re: My Little Pony XL: The Plot Thickens!
The big thing is- and this is the reason why I quoted "script" there- is that I'm actually seeing this as more of an animation without any actual voice work. Kind of like a Tom and Jerry cartoon, or one of the "Dad" episodes of Dexter's Laboratory. I mean, yes, the whole thing's going to be about how long and painful Rainbow Dash is waiting, but it just totally clicks for me in my head. So, yeah, it'll be a really boring fanfic because of that, but at least there won't be any stunted dialogue.

Re: My Little Pony XL: The Plot Thickens!
The story should end when it is time for the story to end. To end it sooner is tragic. To end it later is corrupt.
That isn't to say you shouldn't do either. MacBeth, for example, wields that corruption as the heart of it's story. You've just got to be aware of it and deliberate about it.
That actually sounds fantastic.

Re: My Little Pony XL: The Plot Thickens!
If it makes you feel better, their story doesn't really end, just the part of it you're writing about. Ever notice how nobody ever hits "happily ever after" in real life? That isn't because nobody ever overcomes a challenge or succeeds at their goals, it's because that's not really the end in a meaningful way. The "happily ever after" convention is really just saying "this is a satisfying stopping point. For now."
Finish what you started, and then see if there's still an interesting place to take the character in the future. You might even get a sequel out of it.
Who's the Element of tautology now?
I actually have to disagree a little. Where and how you end a story determines what the story is. Romeo and Juliet was five acts long. End it after four and you have a story of young lovers abandoning a decadent but poisonous family feud to be together. Write a sixth act where the tragedy has inspired the Montegues and Capulets to ally together and build a more prosperous city and you have a somewhat bittersweet tale about how one moves beyond guilt and shame to a brighter future. These are three different stories, not three versions of the same story.Last edited by Eakin; 2012-04-02 at 11:38 PM.
