December Patron Fic Pick! (Patreon)
Content
What makes a good villain? MLP has its fair share of them, some threatening and dark, others perfunctory and forgettable. To round out the year's vote for the first patron-chosen fic reading of 2019, let's find out which cold-hearted dastardly foe my beloved patrons want to have their own spotlight.
Below are options and the links to five stories up for the full cast treatment. Each patron gets one vote for which one they would like to see adapted. Voting will close on December 20th and I'll announce the chosen fic on December 21st.
NOTE: Please register your vote at this poll, not in the comment section below: https://linkto.run/p/TVQTTJ5H
1. Familiarity by Obselescence (King Sombra)
When a familiar presence enters the free Crystal Empire, the scattered remains of King Sombra begin to take shape once more... (darkfic/tragedy)
2. Promise Me by Feather Gem (Discord)
It has been a couple of years after Discord's reformation. Despite this long period of time, Discord only just begins to realize how fragile his best friend's life is. And there is nothing he can do to stop it. All he can do is make a few promises. (sadfic)
3. If You Came to Conquer by cleverpun (Nightmare Moon)
Nightmare Moon won. She defeated Celestia, broke the Elements, banished the sun. This all happened a very long time ago. So long ago, that she has had plenty of time to change her mind. Of course, fixing our mistakes is never so simple, and never without consequences. Even with particularly potent help. (darkfic)
4. I, Daybreaker by Rune Soldier Dan (Daybreaker)
Daybreaker: the monster in Celestia's heart, and the age-long mystery of her life. Her friend and tormentor, her companion and foe. Fanatically devoted to their future, yet desiring one horrific to Celestia. It is growing stronger. (Drama/Darkfic)
5. I Was THIS Close!- Teyeson Bee (King Sombra, Discord, Nightmare Moon, Queen Chrysalis and Sonata Dusk)
A rainy night at a bar really brings out stories from within ponies. During a game of poker, Equestria's rogue list, including Nightmare Moon, Chrysalis, Discord, and Sombra, plus another, the baddies start sharing stories. The similarity; the telling of how they almost won their most famous defeats. Loosely based on the episode, "Almost Got 'Em" from Batman the Animated Series. (comedy)
