That’s because during most of the blog’s run I was still in the middle of college, which took up a ton of my time, and I barely had any time to work on personal stuff. Thanks for the good luck message though.

There’s really no need to worry. Pretty much everything I had planned for the pony blog will happen in the new reboot, just not as ponies and all with original characters.

Still there are a few ideas which won’t really translate over to the reboot, so at some point I will reveal those ideas in a future post.

Once again, thanks for the good luck.

The Status of “The Clone That Got Away”

theponyclonethatgotaway:

Been wanting to announce this for awhile, now seems like as good a time as any.

The Clone That Got Away is going to be rebooted as it’s own original comic. It will now take place in a more cartoony universe (along the likes of ToonTown in Roger Rabbit, and it will also take place in the same universe as my other original project in the works Think Ink).

The url of the current blog will be changed to “theponyclonethatgotaway”, while the new blog will keep the original url.

Most of the original characters from the blog will transition into this new version, redesigned as anthro animals. Some various story elements are still being worked out such as who’s gonna play the “Twilight Sparkle” role in the origin, as well as how the rest of origin is going to play out, but it is being worked on.

So far the story is that Diane is the clone of a mascot pig actress for a meat packaging company, this pig also loves to eat meat. There are a few more details worked out but they’re a bit too long to go into here.

Some people not in the know might ask “Why are you doing this?” or “Why not leave it as an MLP blog?” While I still love MLP and the universe, I don’t exactly have a ton of free time to completely devote to ongoing fan projects (a one of comic page or maybe a short story sure, but not an ongoing thing). If I’m going to devote a ton of time to a project this big I want it to be something I can make money off of in the future without having to worry about Hasbro issuing a Cease and Desist. Not to mention I’ve been working on the character of Diane for so long that I consider her as original as the rest of my original characters, and I wanted her to be completely mine without a tie to something I don’t own the rights to.

As for when this new original version will come out. Don’t expect it anytime soon. If I had to take I guess I assume it will take no less than a year to get it ready, but there’s still a lot of factors to work out.

Anyways, I thank you all for your support and I hope you all look forward to the new original version of “The Clone That Got Away.”

reversalmushroom asked: What was the event gonna be that was gonna make us say "we're definitely in season 4 now"?

Actually there were two moments technically. Since these moments are definitely not gonna happen in the reboot I might as well reveal them now.

The first was gonna involve the mirror in Diane’s room being revealed to be a magic mirror and she goes through it being transported to the Equestria Girls universe. She would first think she had become ugly, but she just didn’t know that what humans normally look like (“Oh my gosh! Everybody is ugly here!”).

She would wind up at the school and then Sunset Shimmer would trick her into trying to steal the crown from Vice Principal Luna while Sunset continued to try and sabotage Twilight’s chances of winning the Fall Formal. Diane would actually manage to find the crown via disguising herself as Celestia and convincing the janitor to give her his keys to the storage area, but she would choose not to take the crown. She would then break the news to Sunset who lashes out at her angrily and then Diane would get sad and go back through the magic mirror.

The second moment would come later, where at some point Diane and Spotlight’s apartment would have to be fumigated for termites, at which point they would have to temporarily stay in a hotel. Spotlight would have to go out to her job at which point Diane would peak out of the room and we would see Twilight and the mane six, basically revealing that this storyline was happening the same time as the episode “Rarity Takes Manehattan.”

There were some funny jokes planned for these such as Diane’s Celestia’s disguise involving her stuffing a pillow in her chest, the janitor complaining about how miserable his job is, Sunset telling Diane not to put the crown on her head cause “It will give you the mumps,” Diane being frightened about Twilight having “feathered bags”, thinking that the mane six were trying to attack her when in reality they were just lazing around, but overall I’m not too sad about loosing these jokes. I might find a way to work them in somehow or perhaps put them in a completely different project.
