The Element of Equality AU was originally known as Starlight’s Universe, and was created by , however, I combined it with a few more AUs, such as the Applegems AU by .

The AU, since it’s a combination of the two, swaps Twilight Sparkle and Starlight Glimmer but as well as that, swaps;

Rarity-Sonata Dusk (originally swapped with Coco Pommel)

Applejack-Adagio Dazzle (originally swapped with Sugarcoat)

Rainbow Dash-Aria Blaze (originally swapped with Night Glider)

Pinkie Pie-Sugarbelle

Fluttershy-Marble Pie

Sunset Shimmer-Trixie Lulamoon

Double Diamond-Flash Sentry

Sunburst-Moondancer

Much like with the Wondercolts AU, this AU also swaps a lot of things related to the unicorn four (that is Twilight, Sunset, Starlight and Trixie);

    ·      Twilght’s magic is more focused on protection, as a result the town is protected by a giant forcefield.

    ·      Starlight’s magic is more focused on illusion and deception. Her magic is a bit more practical, and can be used outside of traditional arcane exploits.

    ·      Sunset uses more offensive magic. Her version of the magic show in Boast Busters is a bit more explosive, think a combo of David Blaine and Mythbusters.

    ·      Much like Starlight, Trixie’s magic is focused on illusion, but in a much different way; Starlight’s is focused on deception, while Trixie’s is focused much more on showmanship. Not sure how this would factor into her swapping with Sunset. 

Also, there are changes with the unicorn 4's main careers (before they become princesses);
Twilight-Librarian
Sunset-Scientist
Starlight-? (Motivational Speaker? Activist?)
Trixie-Magician/Performer

Basic Plot for this AU;
Starlight Glimmer is a motivational speaker and activist, who is called by her superior Fleur De Leis to the small town of Ponyville. There she is to speak at the Summer Sun Celebration, an event that she is clearly worried about. The last time she went to Ponyville, it was with her best friend, Starburst, who disappeared after he went away to Canterlot. She's worried about messing something up, until she arrives and is given free reign around Ponyville.
It's there where she meets the Mane 5, and while uninterested in them specifically, she seems alright with making friends with them. 

I've started to rethink the Wondercolts AU in general, as more new counterparts and ideas have come up. Again, the AU is based off of 's brilliant AU, but the counterparts have been changed because reasons including (but not limited to) 's art and 's alternate counterparts.
The basic premise of this AU is the same; Twilight and Sunset swap and the Shadowbolts and the Wondercolts swap. Crystal Prep is still Crystal Prep, Canterlot High is still Canterlot High. However characters have changed depending on where they stand in this AU. Characters will not be directly swapped, but instead will be in similar positions.
Let's start out with the obvious ones; Sunset and Twilight. Sunset and Twilight are practically clones of each other, but there are some differences. Sunset is more of a scientist with offensive magic while Twilight is a bookworm with defencive magic. To quote a commenter on one of the first pictures of Sunset and Twilight;

I personally headcanon that Sunset, even as a pony, would have been a bit of a bully. Her character arc in the first episode is losing most of those tendencies and making friends.
She still acts like that when pissed, but it only comes out when someone's threatening her friends.

AU Twilight is still socially awkward, and thus is more of a manipulator from behind the scenes. Fall Formal forces her to show her face.

Sunset is aggressive, angers easily, is prideful, is shown to be ambitious and cunning, but has a sweet and caring side that you have to dig through all of her shells to get to. In comparison, Twilight is passive, has a slow temper, is also prideful and ambitious (but not as much), and her main issue pre-ponyville was her focus on her studies and her inability to let her emotions out. So, while Sunset attacks directly, Twilight stands on the side-lines. Post EQG 1, Twilight finds it a bit harder to redeem herself. It's been established in canon that Twilight has a large guilt complex, as shown in Canterlot Wedding. So that would play into her sudden redemption.
The next three are painfully obvious; Sugarcoat and Applejack, Indigo Zap and Rainbow Dash and Lemon Zest and Pinkie Pie. I'm not sure what else to say here, but their personalities are all so similar.  
Now, the next two suffer from opposite issues, too much screen time, and too little screentime. Sour Sweet has so much personality that it's hard to change her to fit a specific character, and Sunny Flare has practically no personality. So... Sunny could be anyone, and Sour Sweet can't be anyone.
My original plan was to use the counterparts from the title screen, but Fluttershy to Sour Sweet was a bit of a stretch. Then, in xebck's AU, she made Sunny Flare Pinkie's counterpart, but I didn't feel like it fit. Then, a sudden realization came when I was writing small parts of dialogue under 's edits; Rarity as Sour Sweet? Sounds good! As a result, Sunny and Fluttershy, 'cause neither can get a word in edgewise, were used.
More characters coming soon!

(This is a sneak peak of the first part of the first chapter of Another Horse Universe, originally by xebck, with some changes by me. Hope you enjoy!)

Chapter 1: Opening

---

“Woah, your very first Princess Summit, you must be over the moon, Sunset.”
The now Princess Sunset Shimmer looked at Sugarcoat for a minute and sighed, “Oh, I am excited, but, to be honest… I’m a little nervous too…”

Lemon Zest jumped up in front of her, “You’re nervicited!” She exclaimed, “It's like you wanna jump up and down and yell "YAY ME!!" But you also wanna curl up in a teeny-tiny ball and hide at the same time!” She uncurled from the ball, and placed a hoof on Sunset’s back, “We’ve all been there.”

Sour Sweet smirked, “Yeah, I don’t think you have…”

“Nothing to worry about, Sunset,” Sugarcoat reassured, “Everything's gonna be just–“

“SUNSET!”
The group jumped back at Sunny Flare’s sudden outburst.

“Oh, I’m sorry, sweetie,” Sunny began, “but I just realized you're not wearing your crown. You haven't forgotten it back in Ponyville, have you?”

Sunset tilted her head towards her bag, which Spike was carrying, “It’s in my bag…” She turned back to her friends, “I just feel a bit self-conscious about wearing it,” She gently unfolded her wings, “Not really used to these either.” She tried to at least get some aviation, but only collapsed straight onto her face.

“You are a princess now, Sunset,” Sunny began, “Embrace it! I'm telling you, if I had a crown like that, I would never take it off. Why, I'd sleep in the thing.”

Once I finally finish the first chapter of Loyalty, I will release it here, on my fanfiction account, quotev account and wattpad account. That way you guys can finally read that! Isn't that great?
  
You can also ask me for any information on the characters, plot and story in the comments. Friendly reminder this is a YuGiOh fic, so if you aren't a fan, you can ask me anything!
   
Specifically, it's for the manga of YuGiOh, (you know, where people got set on fire on a daily basis?) and contains the genderswapping, emo-fying and Mary Sue-ifying of a main protagonist. So if you like that sort of thing, please read?
   
So, I'll see you guys once I release the story!
 
Byez! 

Okay, guys, since I have killer writer's block and nearly all of my stories are apart of a series I haven't written the first chapter to yet, I need your help.
Please, if you want me to write a specific story, speak up in the comments of this journal. This isn't a commission, so I won't be getting money for it.
Free hugs for anyone who actually writes!

Oh and as a personal victory, I've officially deleted my tumblr accounts! So I'm sorry for handing out my address, because now it doesn't exist.  Sorry.
