The Powder and the Spark (Experimental Interactive Fic Thing)

[Silent_Bob 8]

Heyo, just going to be a shameless self-promoter and post this thing here . Feel free to join in.

 

The Powder and the Spark

 

 

What would you do if you lost a loved one? One who has been with you for over a thousand of years: in which a golden link between you two was inevitable to form. And what if this person was taken from you by another? Would you face reality? Would you try to escape it? Break down completely for a hundred years?

 

Or would you want retribution?

 

Princess Luna was the Lord of the Night. A realm of storms and darkness, and her temper matched this. It was this temper that allowed her to be susceptible to Nightmare Moon. It was this temper that sent her into oblivion.

 

And it was this temper that would start the first world war that Equestria would ever face.

 

What started as a small war between the Crystal Empire and the Darkwoods Wolf Confederation will soon escalate when Princess Celestia is seemingly permenantly paralyzed by an unknown assassin. One would say it was inevitable: Equestria would have entered eventually anyway. But what is certain as that all it took to set the world on fire was one instant, one will, one person...

 

And one spark.

 

A scary thought: especially considering that everypony is now ready to leap into the flames.

 

~ A semi-interactive (risk-based player options) roleplay. Basically, every chapter, players can vote on where Equestria's armies (save for Princess Luna's air flotilla and the mane army), diplomats, archeologists, and spies will go, as well as what to research. There will also be little mini-games that pop up once and a while (multiple-choice on how to get the Griffins to ally Equestria, for example.) This big ole' war map will help keep the 'game' organized (and will be updated quite frequently).

 

The main plot will be somewhat effected by how the 'game' goes, and it will determine how good of an outcome things will be at the end. This is somewhat of an experimental concept, so we'll see how it goes. Read the Author's Notes for more information on this.
