The End wasn't The End - Found a new home after the great exodus of 2012

For starters, what’s your fanon on what Equestria actually is? A country? A continent? A planet? Is there a griffin/zebra/changeling/diamond-dog nation elsewhere? When Celestia says that G4!Tirek and G4!Scorpan came from a distant land, are these some demon-run lands on the other side of the planet?
 
That is a really great question, and I think it’s not one easy to answer because there is a sort of semantic question here. On one hand, it is obviously a country; people talk about “the founding of Equestria” (that’s the whole play on Heart Warming Eve is about, giving it clear borders and a starting point in time), characters use the phrase “all over Equestria” in context where using it for the world wouldn’t make sense (eg. TS complaining about dragon smoke covering all of it in Dragonshy).
 
But on the other hand, it HAS to mean the entire world of ponies because we just don’t have a better word for it. You’ve got Middle-Earth, and then you’ve got Equestria, where the ponies live. It makes sense. So maybe it does stand for the country AND the universe.  
But then again people usually don’t name the worlds they live in. Some fantasy writers do, but it is less than widespread. Many universes in fact take their name after a character or feature like the Duck universe or the Harry Potter universe or the Buffyverse. Actually it’s notable that Dream Valley was an even smaller location than Equestria is and it never had issues with applying that name to the brand in general.  
It’s actually funny how places like Dream Valley manage to be little self contained universes in fiction, almost, without apparently needing any kind of world around them to support them as such.
 
So yes in the end I have to say it’s definitely a name for the country.  
And for whether it is placed on a fantasy world (which could be flat or infinite or whatever for all we know), or a planet, or nowhere in particular (in a sort of self-contained universe):  
FiM clearly takes place in a more modern mindset, so I’d say it’s definitely a planet.  
(which is unnamed; while phrases like “the planet of Equestria” or “the world of Equestria” may get used for these those are only to mean “the planet (or world) where our home country Equestria is located” and not as in the name of the actual planet; the planet is unnamed.)

I’ve thought that as well, that a potential source of magic is from some kind of wellspring deep in the earth that releases magical energy at regular intervals. Though in my view, there is more than one of these fonts, Though they have different sizes and release magic in different intervals.
 
I also think that this natural magic (if it exists) would flow around the world in currents, though I haven’t put much thought into where this magic eventually ends up.

The theory I’ve seen in a lot of the more world-build-y works uses the typical “magical font” explanation, with unicorns being the only one of the three pony races with a direct line to their magic (and the risk of suffering brain damage or dying if they deplete their reserves).
 
It’s probably something similar with draconequius chaos magic. I do like the idea, though, that external magic (and some internal magic, like Sombra’s) can have a corrupting influence.

I have to admit, I’ve always wondered about the nature of magic in the show. Twilight said once that magic comes from within, implying that the source of magic is living beings, but that doesn’t rule out the possibility that there may be other sources of magic in the world. Perhaps the world is surrounded by some sort of ambient field of magical energy, which is responsible insome fashion for the various monsters that we see throughout the show.

Fanfiction » [Prompts] Multiple Story Ideas » Topic Opener

Blader-San

I enjoy coming up story ideas, but I need some help choosing which story to write.
 
Idea 1: Trifecta (Alternate Universe, possible Humanized, Comedy, Adventure)
 
It’s been a easy day for Princess Sunset Shimmer. She’s already soared through a flight obstacle course backwards, practiced magic while blindfolded and hoof-cuffed, beat several armor clad guards in a sparring match, and had a royal massage.
 
Upon meeting her new intern, Rarity, a struggling designer from the small hamlet Ponyville, Sunset finds a purple mare roaming the halls of Canterlot Castle.
 
The odd thing, however, is the mare is using unicorn magic, despite being a earth pony with no visible or detectable horn. The mare calls herself Twilight Sparkle.
 
Within an hour of finding Twilight, Sunset’s princesshood is revoked, and she and Rarity are declared enemies of Equestria for harboring a super-pony, a genetically modified mare or stallions with the abilities and endurance of an Alicorn.
 
Sunset’s morning just got a whole lot harder.
 
Idea 2: Burnt(or Blueberry) Pie (NSFW, Comedy, Clop, Futa on Futa, Futa on Female)
 
Sonata Dusk, at 1am, finds herself awoken by a craving for sugary products. Unfortunately, the only supplier of Sonata’s affection, second only to Equestrian and human magic, is Donut Joe’s. Upon entering the shop and sitting down, Sonata finds herself next to only other person with an intense sugar craving like her own:
 
Pinkie Pie.
 
Determined to uphold her sleeping comrades honor, Sonata challenges Pinkie in the only way she knows how at 1:39 in the morning:
 
A donut eating contest with two dozen donuts per person.
 
At roughly 2:20am, Twilight and Sunset, while discussing the counter-spell for the Dazzlings, are interuptted by several loud moaning noises as well as singing. Peering through the crack of the kitchen door, Twilight and Sunset gaze upon a well endowed Sonata attempting to use a audial version of a lust spell on a smaller, but also endowed Pinkie, both of whom are on a sugar rush. Unfortunately for Sunset and Twilight, Sonata’s song backfires on Pinkie, but it does work on Twilight and Sunset.
 
Under a haze of burning desire, Twilight learns that Sunset is not only a good kisser, but also endowed much like Pinkie and Sonata.
 
Idea 3: The Prodigal Sun (Slice of Life)
 
Sunset returns to Canterlot to apologize to Celestia at sundown for her previous actions. They both end up sobbing, as Celestia had already forgiven her.
 
2. A Airwolf(the TV series) x EQG crossover.  
(Alternate Universe, EQG-verse, Comedy, Adventure)
 
Since Human!Twilight is a genius mind in several fields, including aero-dynamics, it seems fitting to the government she would be the first teenager to test the new secret powerful helicopter they’ve developed…as a set of class electives.
 
There’s only one problem, however.
 
Human!Twilight can’t pilot the craft.
 
It looks like it’s up to Sunset and the Humane 6 to help her, or this could be more than a crash landing…

Hey all.  
I’ve been writing a fanfiction I am eager to share with the world, but I know its’ not well punctuated.  
I need a editor who can work side by side with me.
 
Things to keep in mind:
 
This story is a murder/horror story, it does has some descriptive gore scenes. It is testing my inner demon for story telling.
 
If you’re interested, please send me a message. I’d really appreciate the help.  
I plan to make this 10 chapters at least on Fimfiction. Depending on the time I can spend on it.
 
Thank you!

Background Pony #3EC0
Ok, I had to post this up after I had one of my “how high are you” moments while thinking up lines for my current story.
 
NSFW
 
Story Title: Bang-A-Rang
 
putting in spoilers since it’s NSFW
 
||Twilight enchants a boomerang by accident after she, in her princess/alicorn wisdom, decides she wants to imitate the other princesses’ alicorn spells since she’s the element of magic. The spell she tries to replicate is Cadence’s love spell, but, instead of the boomerang causing ponies to fall in love, it basically goes around and gets them horny.
 
I imagined Rarity being the first target where she gets off on the thing. It circles to poor Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Apple Jack, and then back to Twilight. Pinkie Pie gets PO’d it didn’t come to her and the pink pony bucks the poor thing until the Boomerang explodes. The six ponies are left to wonder what happened with Twilight forever swearing she’ll never experiment with other alicorn magic, just sticking with her own. ||
 
Stupid, silly, screwed up story that I thought about. It’s up for grabs as I have a lot, I do mean A LOT of stories on my plate right now.

OK!  
Octavia:  
She was born in Canterlot as the younger half-sister of Frederic Horseshoepin. She grew up in Canterlot with her friends: Harpo, Beauty Brass, Symphony and Concerto. She attended a local high school and lived with Frederic after graduating. One night, she had a dream about a white unicorn with a blue mane, who suggested that she moved to Ponyville.  
She talked about it with Harpo, and then told Frederic, Fiddlesticks and Beauty Brass about it (Symphony, by that time, had become quite distant). The next morning, she packed and went to the train station. On the way, she met Symphony and her younger friend, Ballad. They parted on good terms, and Octavia moved to Ponyville.  
Octavia went to a housing office in Ponyville, and met a pony who had a crush on her, Blues Noteworthy. A blue-maned white unicorn leapt to her defense. Her name was Vinyl Scratch. Vinyl persuaded Octavia to pool her money with her so they managed to buy a decent two-bedroom house.  
A year and a half later, Octavia received a letter from the theatre in Canterlot, requesting her to move back to Canterlot so her, Harpo, Beauty and Fred could play at the theatre every night.  
During the last year and a half, Octavia’s attraction towards Vinyl had grown, and they parted with a kiss.  
Vinyl followed Octavia to Canterlot after a dream told her where she was living.  
She found the address and admitted her love for Octavia.  
Her and Vinyl got married six months later  
:)
