    Queen of Queens


    "Worldbuilding is risky, especially when you're prompted to ground it in the basis of someone else's canon: one can either range too far or fall well short. Just when I thought I'd seen everything there was to know about changelings, along comes a story like this that strikes that critical border, flipping one subtle detail on its head with consequences that literally span the eons." -- CouchCrusader

    [Dark]

    Author: JawJoe

    Description: Our kind has it that the life of a queen is the happiest, for they are blessed with the shortest time in this world. A mighty queen will be remembered for eternity, forever residing in the hearts of her people. The greatest tragedy a queen can suffer is to be forgotten – to be stricken from history. I refuse to bend before oblivion.

    Reader Blurb: 

    What intrigued me the most about this story was how it took all of my headcanons - and most everyone else's too, I imagine - and threw them away in the most beautiful way imaginable.

    This is a story about Changelings, but don't expect any hives or underground caverns filled with ponies in pods. Instead, the author took the canon Changelings and wove an entirely unique fantasy universe behind the canon story. This is a world of unlimited imaginative vision, a world where cathedrals rise and landscapes reformed in a single night. The Changelings themselves are familiar, complex, and yet intriguingly alien, and they carry an amazingly poignant and poetic story of art, ambition, and mortality - all in the pursuit of meaningful change.
    I enjoy any story that challenges my assumptions about the world of Equestria. Few have done so like this one has, and I could not be more pleased to be able to share it.
