We have decided to deviate which, in fact, means that we submit stuff to DeviantArt. You can find some frames without captions and bubbles and... (What do you even need those for? Anyway, they are there, enjoy, etc etc)

At first, we wanted to make pages. But, as you already know, we've been running a very dangerous time experiment that changed everything. Before things went weird, we've been working on the page 1 frames. In order to follow the JJ's original style we thought bichrome. Then, as the first frame was to become a somewhat beautiful panorama of Horsia, we've accidentally stepped a little away from the original style, turning scenery from a heap of paint (a very well thought-out heap of paint, indeed) to something more precise. The first attempt looked extremely promising:

Drunk with success (and with a recent brew of genetically modified beer) unit #001 remade the castle from scratch, which resulted in the one you can see on frame #1. He then added the rest of the view and painted it all by himself, good job there, lad, good job. The fight was hard and epic, but we kind of hope it was for the best. So... pay some attention to the first frame. It's beautiful. Really.

The page 2 starts now! So does the adventure. Will it bring joy? Sadness? Money? Open a portal to... waaaaait a second.

The first version of the plotline consisted of technically skipping three months and then showing a scene depicting the princess entering her TOP SECRET room and then regenerating just like Doctor Who. Somewhere at this point of plotting John Joseco launched a Gamer Luna blog and we haven't managed to fix the issue with Molly NOT changing her face so Unit #000 threw the old plotline away (nobody actually needs more than one Gamer Luna, especially when that's the original one). A new plotline had to be made. A new world, perhaps.

...The party started their work with some research into the cause of the disappearance of Molestia. They didn't confirm any of their theories, but, keeping them all in mind they had to do something to prevent the copyright issues (outsiders tell big corporations are famous for spending their money on useless stuff like searching for underground laboratories supposedly violating their author's rights or something). The decision was made to go even further into parody, stripping off more and more elements of the original. And that is how a concept of Horsia appeared (The name 'Horsia', obviously, was meant to play on the simplicity and morphology of 'Equestria'). A whole different universe, somewhat similar to the original one to keep in touch. Characters and events altered. A plotline was born to introduce the princess to the new world and to merge her in it.

Since we were getting a princess of the Sun into our newborn reality, we'd decided to make Horsia a world without one so Molestia effectively takes the place. The story was to be altered so the 'different-Luna' was the only princess, and thus, since she's the princess of the Moon and there was never any of the Sun, Horsia would be a kingdom of eternal night.

And that be the end of a planned page one. Consider it some kind of a milestone. Also, thanks to everyone who's here reading this sentence which means you're probably here not just for the sentence itself and the fact of probability pleases us somewhat.
