I'm a huge fan of history, but particularly history from 1900-1950, which is where the Russian revolution falls in. Roughly a year or two ago, I read the book "Animal farm" by George Orwell for my Freshman English class, and I thought it was a fantastic book (Despite how pretty much the rest of the class thought it was ridiculous). This past year I've become a brony and as I pieced together the storyline of FiM, I've noticed some similarities between the plot of 'Animal farm' and the history of Equestria. I thought of this idea when I was brainstorming new concepts for upcoming fanfics as my last one turned out to be awful, and I thought it was relatively unique. I asked my sister if I could borrow her copy of Animal farm and I re-read the first few chapters, and to be honest, it isn't QUITE the same reading the book an knowing what was going to happen, but it did give me a feel for the historical points. I tried to base my story on Orwell's, but to be honest Equestria is a hard topic to work with when talking about a political/historical like this. I simply don't have the necessary writing skills to make something similar to his work, but I did try, if anything. I hope you will all enjoy it, but I doubt it will get much attention as there are a few plot holes I didn't really adjust. That being said, I don't think it's too bad and I look forward to the comments I get from it :)
