Hey, I've seen those home improvement shows... Really, it's all about the staging.





That figures, because I actually found the Mix-alot one. I don't seem to have that one readily available... Hopefully on one of my external hard drives then.






Aha, yes! Regardless of the school storyline, I had always intended to explore that town a bit more. I wonder how George Gedney's old museum is doing. I recall them having some truly first class spoons.






You know, when I first started watching that show with my little cousin, I thought it was an excellent primer to get little girls enthused about geeky storytelling. It's not a primer for anything any more... it's a full on massive continuity of its own, making some comic book universes look positively quaint. An Official Handbook to the Pony Universe would be quite hefty by now.

The last season finale had a time travelling villain messing with the heroes' origins, thereby creating various alternate timelines where the present was at war with or enslaved by villains they had previously defeated. I applaud instilling such storytelling tropes in the minds of little girls.






Ha... on a hunch, I did a google search for "last unicorn" and "equestria girls", and literally the first image option was a screenshot making this exact joke.

I'm last to tackle all of my story ideas!






Interesting idea... I'll consider it. I did enjoy writing that one Hallie story as a journalist penning an article about her... that's about the closest I've come to doing a diary entry. Although I suppose some of the Wangmundo stuff might count.






I sympathize, as I was inclined to do the same thing... just calculate how old they'd be in real time since I last identified their ages, and go from there. I had a lot of fun playing with the next generation in that one, including CSFB's youngest cast members.

(I also feel like I surely wrote something other than that one story that had Garrick's daughter in it, but I can't find any evidence that this is true.)

Honestly, though, I can't help but wonder if such a time skip would be welcome by folks in general... It would take the pressure off of having to continue things from where they left it. I, for one, have a very poor memory of all of my plotlines. Being able to say "Screw it... here's where they all are 7 years ahead" has a certain appeal. Hell, people could even do the whole "massive changes to be explained later" style reboot if they wanted to.

Naturally, that's more of a problem for you... Even in my own story about Griff, I really didn't want to overly define how anyone's else's characters were in that future... and it's challenging to write around them, to say the least.






Aha... a good thing to know. I will give it some thought.
