    (I tried to get this idea going in the RP section, but on account of no one going there anymore, it looks like I have to do this thing myself.)

    So yeah, this could very well be my very first published Fic. I just want to know if any of you would be interested in reading this and tips for developing the plot.

    Eon is a regular earh pony and a childhood friend of the two princesses, back before the unification of Equestria. When Discord began to cause trouble, Eon was one of the first to attempt to defeat him. He was struck with a powerful curse that caused him to sleep forever. However, he always awakens in Equestria's darkest hours.

    The basic plot will feature Eon and the two princesses as children, the confrontations with Discord, his reactions to the imprisonment and ultimate freedom of Luna, and him visiting Ponyville. What happens after that will be an adventure that I am keeping a secret, due to me not wanting to spoil every last point of my story.

    So, would this be something you would want to read about? Do you have any tips for structuring the story? Let me know. (PLEASE. I don't want this to be ignored and eventually buried alive in the forums.

    I'd definitely read it.
    Tips for structuring a story?
    Let me get my Writer's Craft notes;


    Hmm. These seem slightly less than useful.
    Let me think...

    Well, here's a tip;
    Don't reveal every aspect of major characters
    At once or right away,
    Let them develop over time.

    I'll read it too, just because I'm curious as to what you come up with.

    Okay, I am starting to write. I may not use most of the the ideas I wrote down. They were mostly brainstorming. Like for example, I am nixing the whole awaken on the start of the season thing. And also, his name will be changed to Eon. However, Discord is still in it, and he'll be a much bigger role than I've originally intended. I've changed my 1st post to show what I am keeping. I can't wait to show you guys my work!
