Brave New World on Equestria Daily

I meant to post this last week. Brave New World is now available on Equestria Daily as well as FanFiction.net. I previously posted the FanFicion.net link, so here is the Equestria Daily link:

Brave New World Chapter 2

Chapter 2 is now up on FanFiction.net! I'm still trying to get it listed on Equestria Daily, so cross your fingers for me!

I really wanted to showcase Pinkie Pie's mental turmoil in this chapter, so I hope that came across as well as I think it did. At the same time, I was hoping to create more intrigue for you, the readers, to wonder what is going on here. After all, this story is supposed to have some suspense to it. Other than that I don't have a whole lot to really say about this chapter. It was very Pinkie Pie centric, but other chapters will focus on the other characters.

Brave New World: Chapter 1

I like talking about my inspirations, but I also have a bad habit of rambling. I have this sneaking suspicion that most people won't want an extra paragraph or two of my bullshit after they just read an entire chapter, so I decided that I would use my blog as a place for my author notes instead. If you have somehow found this blog without reading my fanfic, you can find said fanfic here:

 http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6997042/1/Brave_New_World

I have also submitted the story to Equestria Daily, in the hopes that it will be included in their fanfiction section. If they choose to post it, I will post a link for that location as well.

So here we have it, chapter 1. Not much happened in this chapter since I wanted to spend some time introducing the world that this fic was taking place in. I'm trying to keep the names of places similar to what they would be in the pony world (hence "Perryville" instead of "Ponyville"), but we'll see if I can keep that up. I plan to, but there's always that chance that I'll draw a blank somewhere down the line.

The story itself was actually inspired by fanart that I've seen around the Internet, where the artists conceptualized Twilight and Co. in human form. These images started making the gears in my head turn, and this story was the result. I won't divulge what's going on (that would ruin the fun of reading the story), but I'm sure you've all figured out that something is amiss based on Pinkie Pie's reaction to being human.

Well, that's all I can think to say on chapter 1. Thank you to everyone who has read, commented on, and/or started following this story so far. It's been a long time since I've written any fanfiction, so the positive reception has been a great motivator. Chapter 2 is well underway, and should be ready by the end of the week.

Brave New World: A My Little Pony Fanfic

It's been a long time since I've written a fanfiction, but my recent obsession with My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic has driven me to start again. I have submitted the first chapter of the story to Fanfiction.net, and I have also e-mailed Equestria Daily to hopefully have my story hosted on their site as well. I will post links when possible. Of course, if you're visiting my blog because you've already read the stories, then the links will be rather useless. Anyway, I plan to use this blog to post my thoughts about MLP: FiM, my fanfiction (I already have an idea for a second MLP: FiM fanfic), and anything else related to the show. Feel free to post comments and opinions, and if you know a thing or two about sprucing these blogs up, please feel free to share that information with me as well. I have very little knowledge when it comes to these things.
