I am currently thinking about writing a fanfic of myself combining two of my greatest passions, Mass Effect with My Little Pony: FiM. Any thoughts?

Tread lightly, only about 10% or so of those video game crossovers actually get accepted.  Apparently they rejected about 20 sonic crossovers before they found one they liked.

Don't worry. I am trying to stay true to both franchises' respected medium. So far during my brainstorming session, I came up with an idea where Princess Celestia passes away, leaving Princess Luna as the sole ruler of Equestia. One of her political agendas is going to be space travel, but I am trying to find a logical reasoning there. Ultimately I am trying to get ponies in space and somehow link Unicorn/Pegasus powers with mass effect fields. As for characters, I am going to try and stay away from using the mane 6 or Shepard's crew. Part of me wants to set the story after the events of Mass Effect with the Reapers winning resulting in a brand new cycle. I don't know if want any bipeds in the story at all. Probably plan on using new species, but with similarities to the already established races. Then again, part of me wants to disregard the the establish canon of MLP: FiM and have the Unicorons/Alicorns represent the Asari, the Pegasus represent the Turians, and the Earth Ponies represent Humans.

So basically a what if scenario where Shep loses and all races are wiped out, Ponies achieve decent space flight/discover eezo/mass relays
(possibly many many 100's or even 1000's of years after Sheps galactic civilzation dies if we are considering the passing away of Celestia here, also meaning no Mane 6 as you say) discover the Citadel, and become the new seat of power in the Milky Way? (Before the Reapers show up) Hmmm, it could also work as the ponies being a single unified council, like how the Protheans were the only race in power during their time, rather than loads of seperate powers like humanity, turians etc. You don't have to take my ideas if you don't want to of course.

You know, if you write this well enough, you may have a big success on your hands. Just don't let it get to your head. 

The only thing I am having trouble with is how the Reapers harvest organic life. Do they only harvest those that were capable of adapting their technology or do they just destroy everything.

I am thinking I should write a series of prologues with the ideas I am trying to convey. My whole idea of Equestia's existence is due to Earth fall to the Reapers is based loosely on Adventure Time and how the Mushroom War in our world is what created the Land of Ooo. I personally like to think of it as if Fallout and The Elder Scrolls had a child together, but I seem to be rambling a bit here.

I'd say hold off actually writing it untill ME3 is out and we know the full story. That way you'd have more to work with and possibly an advantage over other ME Crossover fics that already exist.

Quick question. Is it stupid to treat the humans and the equivalent of the Protheans to the ponies? I ask this because I am trying to workout a situation where the moon is what the Prothean ruins were to the humans and every other Citadel race.

Nah, it seems to be more like what if Shep lost, everyone died, the ponies over 100's/1000's of years advanced to their level (discovering eezo and mass relays plus Citadel) becoming the next cycle for the Reapers.

I am thinking about introducing a virus to my story to kick start the evolutionary process, much like the Prothean on humans.

Seems to be another Mass Effect/MLP fanfic out there. I think I can do better.

history is written by the winners. How much of that "true founding of equestria" is truth and how much of it is propaganda? living so long you probably have a couple of skeletons in your closet. how far does celestia's lie run? how much is she willing to do to keep it buried? who is dumb enough to dig?

That was already part of the idea - the Hearths' Warming Eve play we saw is true, just heavily sanitized for the foals and invoking Equestria's version of "Hollywood History" or "The Theme Park Version".

There was nothing quite as sinister as you suggest, though, just a much broader and more epic scope using Literary Agent Hypothesis.  There was some broad strokes borrowing from Elder Scrolls and Darklands.

EDIT: And plenty of Commander Hurricane/Clover the Clever shipping for EternalA.

Oh Celestia, I was curious about it's frequency on YT search so I put in Cupcakes and it's the first non promoted vid on the list.

heres a question, whats Celestia's motivation for keeping it a secret? Whats the main characters motivation for trying to find out? Is Celestia the main antagonist? Or is there someone else who wants the knowledge for their own purposes?

SPOILERS

The wendigos are remain the main antagonists - they're the spirits of ponies who devolved into cannibalism. Celestia and Luna are actually foals at the time; they're biological constructs created by Star Swirl, who is the closest thing to their father (and they certainly have that relationship).

None of this is actually a secret, it's merely been forgotten over 1000+ years of Equestrian history. Twilight stumbles across a tome that explains it all.

You know, times like these, I wonder how the original MLP demographic is doing...Those poor, innocent, sweet little children. What have you done to them Internet? What have you done?

That sounds like an Act 2 Revelation, whats the set up?

...wait, the Fo:E Horizons spinoff is ALSO bigger than War and Peace?
Oh.
Oh yes it is.

Twilight reading the tome (with Spike and Rainbow in secondary roles) is the framing device. Act I essentially follows the Hearths' Warming Eve play up until the bit in the cave, albiet with moar grimdark. Act II is where it turns into a more epic scope - the wendigos aren't going down because Twilight!Clover made some friends and cast an epic spell (playing into this a bit is the idea that Star Swirl was the very first bearer of the Element of Magic). 

Stylistically, the three states borrow from 15th century Europe. The pegasi are like the Byzantines, the unicorns are the Hapsburg domains, and the Earth ponies are the Holy Roman Empire (chiefly Bavaria).
