Moonstuck
Month
Good news, everybody!
As many of you are probably aware, there used to be a zip compilation of Moonstuck, but it was removed for many reasons (missing files, extra files, misnumbered files, files that just wouldn’t open no matter what, and being generally a huge mess). But now, thanks to the tireless efforts of elninowolfe, we now have a complete zip of Moonstuck in its entirety!
Download Moonstuck Complete Edition (Mediafire)
The archive is organized (!!) by chapter, and includes all of the extra comics/doodles/etc – including this year’s special picture, which I decided not to post outright because it’s kinda spoilery to have right on the front page. Thanks again, Wolfe! You’re an honorary Team Woona member! ☆
(read this first!)
(sorry if this shows up on your dashboard again, just bumping it back up to the top)
Welcome to Moonstuck! Moonstuck was a reader-driven adventure story based on characters from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, although it takes place in an alternate universe from canon (and is set in Luna’s childhood, not during her banishment). It’s suitable for most ages, aside from some minor swearing in the early pages.
The story officially completed on November 4th, 2012, and no more commands will be accepted — though it remains up for reading. You have a few options on how to read it:
1 - read it on the tumblr page (newer posts shown first)
2 - read it chronologically on the tumblr page (by clicking either here or on the ‘read chronologically’ button on the sidebar) — I recommend this method as it’s much less confusing than reading it backwards!
3 - download the zip archive, which contains everything posted (including extras!) as of 2014
Please keep in mind that Moonstuck’s odd format means that it reads choppily in places — I’ve been told it’s fine as long as you keep that in mind, so just remember that 99% of it was made up on the fly based on reader commands and so the pacing is pretty hit-and-miss.
Although it ran as one complete story, my after-the-fact chapter splits are:
(The above were back when Moonstuck first began, when I was still figuring out where I wanted to go with it. From here on out it becomes much more focused.)
Thanks for reading!
Adding to the list of things I should’ve done earlier but didn’t, Average Woona can now be read chronologically. c:
So, that’s that! Moonstuck is over. It’s been a great ride, almost a year to the day. :D
To answer a few questions I’ve already gotten on the subject: I may continue to draw Moonstuck-related stuff (I’ve drawn these characters for 900+ panels now, old habits die hard!), but there will be no more Moonstuck proper. There will not be a sequel, continuation, Celestia or adult-Luna version, or anything else along those lines, nor will I be “handing the reins” over to someone else. I have no plans to do any spin-offs or another command-based blog, and Average Woona will not be continued. There will not ever be a print version, for sale or otherwise. I have nothing to do with the dubs and I can’t tell you anything about them.
A zip of the entire story will be available soon, along with a general info post for new readers and (possibly) a Q&A post. Right now I need to get some sleep though!
Thanks for the ride everyone, it’s been awesome. ♡
