    Hating on Bronies, Part 2

    Just gonna leave this here for a while. Found in the wild under a YouTube video going over the bad side of our fandom made by a non-brony creator. The comments were filled with stuff like this:

    Asking for Advice

    I'm going to start this blog with a little confession... I think I've already mentioned it, but my passion for MLP seems to be taking a bit of a backseat for the time being. Now, that doesn't mean I'm going anywhere or that I won't ever write fanfiction again; no, this happens to me from time to time and the situation is almost certain to come back to normal in due time. However, one fact remains

    The Future of "Deos ex Caellis"

    Hello again. I think it's time for me to talk a bit about my presence here on FimFiction once more, mostly from the side of actual content-creation activity. It's been a while since I last touched upon this subject in my blogs, I think.

I guess I've come here to talk a bit... · 10:39pm Aug 1st, 2023

I guess I've come here to ramble a bit, not sure what about though. I like to ramble in my blogs, and recently I've had this nagging feeling that I should do it more often; nay, I simply wanted to do more of it. This is kind of... like a chalkboard on which I can write whatever, and I know someone will read it. Such a feeling is... refreshing, for some reason. Soothing.

Finishing the, "Ancient history timeline" on my lore group has brought a much needed relief; this isn't to say that it was some great accomplishment, by no means! No, it was simply something stuck at the back of my head no matter what else I'd be doing, a reminder of unfinished endeavors. Now that it's over, I can focus on Deos ex Caellis. But here comes a problem, I need to edit the first chapter over before I get to properly writing the next one, and it's hard to get inspired to edit stuff. Editing and overhauling chapters is hardly a creative activity, or at least not much so, not for me. And remember, I am very much still an amateur at this, I write for fun, I like it when I create. But this... this isn't the same. The next chapter should come before the end of summer, though.

Speaking of Deos ex Caellis, I added new short and long descriptions! The original concept for the story was for it to focus on interstellar diplomacy and the efforts of a smaller power to stay neutral in a conflict between empires, but that's too similar to OSaGA, isn't it? I wanted to try something else for once, and focus on a narrative about a journey. We'll see how that will end up, though.

I... am not sure what more to ramble about. I'm kind of grasping at straws here, haha. So I guess I will end this blog.

Cheers everyone, and I hope you're having a good day! :twilightsmile:

Glad to see you are putting your blog to good use. Many use their blogs to work on their stories and I think it's a great idea. Hope it helps your stories and helps with writer's block.

Hope your stories do fantastic, and hope your writer's block fades. :pinkiesmile:

I think I did post a story snippet in my blogs once or twice, but I feel like something like that wouldn't really garner many views and thus feedback. All most people seem to be interested in are catchy titles and the first few lines, which quite honestly, I'm utterly terrible at. :twilightblush:

Marketing my work may actually be the single thing I'm poorest at, haha. But hey, there's no harm in trying again, right?

I may post a few unrelated scenes I write in my blog posts and see how it goes. :twilightsmile:

I'd say they've been doing okay-ish so far, and I don't really have high ambitions, so there's that. :twilightsmile:

And thank you! I hope it fades too. I'll give myself a few days to relax and maybe try to get back on it a bit later.

I remember those. Hopefully more people will help with the next time.
