If you guys have not started reading Splattershade's story Harmony Reborn: The Steam 6, stop what you are doing, and go read all of the chapters he has uploaded. For someone like myself, who knows absolutely nothing about steampunk ANYTHING, I thought I was going to have no clue what was going on with this story. Yeah, well, I was wrong. Not only am I understanding it, I am LOVING it! So far he has introduced us to the new Mane Six, or as he calls them, the 'Steam 6.' A group of unlikely ponies that are barely skating by in this new way of life after harmony was, yet again, lost in all of Equestria. WOO! Doesn't this all just sounds AWESOME? I can't wait for it to keep going! Eee~ But, so, speak up! What do you guys think about it so far? Who is your favorite character; what is it you like about them? Why do you think he made Rarity the bad guy? And most important of all.........WILL GLIMMERLODE EVER FIND JANIE?!?!?!?!?!?!? |

I am ALSO loving it. It makes me want to try my hand at writing, but then, I also would get too shy to post my silly stuff alongside something so good. But enough about me!
So far, I'm loving Sawbones the best. I've always loved the healin types, and I admire her/him? (first person perspective is a little gender-unspecific) for trying to carry on in a hopeless situation.
As for Rarity, I'm not so sure they did make her a bad girl. The worst thing we've seen from her is a lack of patience, and that isn't exactly news to us  Probably she deals all day with social climbers and people just trying to get all goody-goody in elite society.
As for Janie, I speculate that she/it: IS SECRETLY A NEW ELEMENT OF HARMONY, known as SHOVEL!!! |

Wow, thanks for the supportive plug there Rarity, I don't think I could have worded it better myself. And yes, unfortunately when each of the Mane 6 abandoned/lost their connection to the elements of harmony, they became more-or-less 'evil' in some way or another. Though, like in Rarity's case, some much more so than others. Also... Snowdrop... that last post you made in the Derpy RP... about the clockmaker's shop. How did you guess my initial name idea for "Windup"? I actually very nearly named him TickTock! XD Anyway, there's plenty more to come, and I intentionally chose first-person because of how vague it is, you'll find out the details soon enough. If you want a hint as to who else is in the story: Mane 6 (duh) Spike Gummy Zecora Flim & Flam Big Macintosh Diamond Dog(s) The Cakes More Janie! and... there will be several OC cameos from right here on S&S. I won't spoil who and where yet, but I'll try to squeeze everypony in where I can. But you'll have to keep an eye out, because they'll basically be acting as "background ponies" that only you guys will know to spot and know their names!  PS: as a little warning, at least one of the stories of what happens to the Mane 6 that separates them from their Element will be very sad (though probably vaguely so), prepare yourselves. I hope you all enjoy. The next chapter will be done fairly soon, |

We must be on some kind of similar wavelength. I was extremely startled to see mining themes posted, even on a separate story, just mere hours after posting Jasper's profile in the first place. It's really not the first thing one thinks of when one thinks of MLP.
And if I see mention of a black pegasus filly dashing about leaving sooty hoofprints everywhere, I'LL KNOW. I'll know. I'll know.

Newest Update to the story is up. Or first real meeting between two of the Steam 6 characters: Smogbloom and Windup. (as seen from Windup's perspective) more to come soon! Hope you all enjoy!
