Yeah, in some cases it was cliche, but in other cases it works. I mean, Melody ends up falling for someone else in my story and Starlight and Ace's friends (sans Lancer and Bright Eyes) set them up.

I can agree there. It's just the stories that assume that, with no problems, it was an official couple in the future bother me. Everyone writes the Elite ships (as I call Teddy and Sweetheart, Ace and Starlight and Bright Eyes and Lancer) so they have to problems, are happily together with no hardships or anything whatsoever. Nobody touches Ace's disrespect for Starlight, or even Starlight's quickness to believe Ace is perfect, even with a ten-foot pole. (Maybe I should someday.)

This is also true, but don't worry, I have plenty of unfortunate events planned for Ace and Starlight.

A series of unfortunate events for Ace and Starlight? Good! They need to have real problems, after all.
I was talking more about the problems in getting together in the first place; I may have to write something like that simply because it always happens flawlessly. While they wouldn't have the problems with the acceptance from the outside (that would apply to Teddy and Sweetheart) they would have their own flaws to overcome.

You told me. I won't mention it in this forum for public discussion (to keep the surprise somewhat) but I will say... good luck trapping the emotions of that ordeal in writing.

Thanks. Should be easy to handle, but I'll do what I can.

Easy to handle? Not if you're really putting yourself in the shoes of those kids. What you're planning on pulling will affect them forever. I couldn't puzzle it over that intensely.
Plus, if you are having S3 take place within the show's time line than you'll have the characters in high school around 2000-2001. That's right. When the economy collapsed (in the US) and the War on Terror began. Be most careful if you imagine that Ponyland is an equivalent of sorts of the US. )8, That'll be a tough trail to trot on.

Oh yeah. Never put that into account. LOL Don't worry; no terrorism here.

Yeah; of course you aren't going to write a My Little Pony story that centers around terrorism! >80
But it is a logical concern for the time period, especially when what happens happens. "What kind of world is this becoming?" would be a logical question for any character in the 2000s.

That would be true.

Yes. Tales also goes more into realism than any other generation, so realism has to be a consideration when writing a serious change like that.

Back to shippings. It seems one couple has a long-distance relationship.
