Dusk Quill


I once was lost, but now I'm found. Just a quiet blue unicorn with a passion for the written word.

    My Journey

    So I've finally set aside the time to sit down and properly write out a blog post for you all who are still around (the one I promised in my last post seven months ago :twilightsheepish: ). I want to tell you all about where I've been, what I've been up to, and share my journey with you guys. You were all around for some of the best times, and I felt it's only right to open back up again and

    Well Well Well...

    Holy hell, that's a lot of notifications to look through! I suppose that's what happens when you disappear for... *checks watch* three years. Huh... I suppose it's been a while, huh? It would be shockingly rude and unprofessional if I was to just suddenly turn up again out of the blue, wouldn't it? Yeah, I guess it would...

    I'm Sorry

    Over the past week or two, I've gotten messages from several of you guys asking if I was okay, if everything was all right, and just wanting to check in on me in general. I wanted you all to know that I was really touched by your concerns, and that I am just fine, but it also made me feel guilty. I'm sure you can guess why... I haven't written any new material for well over a year. I haven't been

    Dusk is a terrible, awful, no good, very bad pony...

    I have apologies to make to all of you. It's been close to six months since I had any activity here on the site, and even less for my friends outside of FiMFiction. I feel I owe you all an explanation and my deepest, heartfelt sorries. I am still alive, if just barely by now. These last few months, I sort of bit off more than I could chew with life. I took eighteen college credit hours in an

Dusk Quill on... the Season 3 Finale and Mi Amore · 6:34am Feb 17th, 2013

... What?

I just... I don't even know how to comprehend what just happened. It certainly wasn't as awful as I was afraid it might be (I believe in M. A. Larson!). It was a decent episode, I suppose. Everything's gonna change now, obviously, but it certainly didn't feel like the apocalypse just happened. It felt a little rushed. Like, one moment I was watching the intro, and the next thing I knew it was over. So, yeah... that just happened.

I'm gonna try to keep most personal feelings about it out of this, to keep the arguing to a minimum. But at least I'm not fearing the death of the fandom or an awful Season 4 right off the bat.

And now we must face the long dark of the post-season.

So, on to Mi Amore!

I just have one question, readers... Really? It's really that entertaining?? I wrote it all in under two hours for the fun of it, and it's already become my fastest viewed story! What's going on?! Maybe the Twilicorn has made the world go mad!

Jeez, if you all like one-shots so much, you should have just said so! Maybe I'll start doing a bunch of them on requests for practice.

It's nice to take a break and be able to read others' works and do little things like this. But make no mistake, the next installment of the Skyfall series shall be on its way soon enough. But for the mean time, I'm having fun! Let me know what you think of me doing a one-shot/60-minute challenge type thing for viewers.

Thanks for the support from everyone who faved and all my new watchers! I love you all!

I don't know what I felt about the new episode. I really don't. I don't know if I'm supposed to feel very happy, or pissed off. I don't know what this feeling is, but I can feel it, pretty strong.:pinkiesick:

I'm indifferent about the new episode. I'll use season 4 to judge it.

Shining Armor's "liquid pride" line made my day though! :rainbowlaugh::rainbowlaugh:

You have a new oneshot?! Why was I not informed of this!? :raritydespair::flutterrage:

To reading! CHARGE!

Silver out!

Well as for the final I enjoyed it. It was a bit rushed but I feel like that's basically what's going to happen to just about EVERY TV show that tries to have 22 minuet episodes. I always feel that there's more that could have been done that would have improved the show... but over all I really enjoyed it.

And as for one shots... I usually prefer longer stories simply because with a good one shot... that's it... it's one shot and then done. However, yours was a wonderful little one shot... that really shows the developing love triangle between Shinning, Fleet, and Cadance. I have ideas as to how you're going to deal with it... but I kinda hope I'm wrong xD :twilightsmile: Anyways, keep up the good work alright!!

I would be very interested to see predictions from you and everyone regarding future development on the series! Considering there are about hundreds of combinations of characters, settings, events, etc., you'd have to be right in my head to know the plot line. :twilightsmile:

To date, the Skyfall series has:
- 31 characters (canon and original)
- A fully structured and organized Equestrian military system
- A detailed world map, including four independent nations, and growing
- Maps and details of main cities, towns, forts, settings, etc.

And much more in the works!

841643 That is rather impressive... rather impressive indeed.
And well my idea deals only with the love triangle that you've developed. Otherwise I'm pretty clueless :twilightsheepish:
...as for what it is... well the prediction clearly pointed at Fleethoof... of course it also points at several other ponies. As long as they fit the credentials... and I want to say that Shinning also fits.

But Fleethoof... I feel like in the end he dies. He dies for his country, for his friends, for his team mates, and for his loved once... *cough* Cadance *cough* but no matter how you die or who you die for... you still die. Truth be told I thought you were gonna kill him off in the 1st story. The way you started it seemed to suggest that so when he lived I was surprised. Not unpleasant (heck I found it pleasant myself) but still a little surprised. :twilightsmile:

But now with his current job, with his injuries, the way he throws himself into his work, and a few subtle notes on your part, I feel like he is marked for death. He seems like the kind of character that'll get beaten up, shot, torn, and burned but rather than sitting back and resting/healing he gets up to "finish his job" and while he gets stuff done he inevitably gets himself killed... at least those are my thoughts on where this will most likely lead... however as I mentioned before I've thought you were going to do something else before surprising me. So I'm far from "This is how it's DEF going to happen. No questions asked." With you I always seem to be asking questions xD :twilightsheepish: Which I do feel like is a good thing... and not because I'm confused but because I just don't know. :twilightsheepish:

841865
Interesting, veeeery interesting indeed. I like to see what sort of thoughts and foresight readers develop as the story goes along. Now I get to be the bad guy, and now reveal any tells or information to you. My world is constantly changing, expanding, evolving... It's hard to keep up with it sometimes! :pinkiehappy:

It is going to be awfully emotional when it all comes to a close though... :pinkiesad2:

I will say this, though: it would have been an awfully short series if Fleethoof died at the end of the first book! Just saying, I have too many plans for him to die right off the bat. :rainbowlaugh:

Stick around, and keep your predictions close at hand. You might be surprised by what's around the corner...

841927 Oh I shall be keeping my predictions close! ...and editing them!
Also I didn't know that you were planning on making a series with Fleethoof :derpytongue2: for all I knew you were going to move onto another story/character once you'd finished. :twilightsmile:

But I shall be watching.

842038
Oh, I will move on when the time comes. No one's story can last forever, no matter how much we may long for it. And when one book closes, a new one opens! Skyfall will continue for a little while longer, as long as there's still some story left to tell, but once it ends, something else will take its place. All in due time, and I hope you enjoy everything that comes between then and now. :pinkiehappy:

842060 Oh they most certainly do! Even when we don't want them to every book comes to a close... but as I like to say... no story truly ends. There is always someone to carry on. The character's child, their friend, their enemy... someone, somewhere... the story never does end.

And oh don't worry about me! (...unless it's about my own writing... :pinkiecrazy:) I'm certainly really looking forward to seeing what you've got to give!!

Well, Larson probably has something up his sleeve. He's M.A. Larson, Tara said everything will stay normal (except for the whole alicorn thing). I quote from "The Lion King" " Change is good ".

842544
Larson did most of my favorite episodes so far, so when I heard he was doing the finale, I got hopeful. And sure enough, it wasn't a travesty! :pinkiehappy:

Now I just hope the studio is smart enough to put him in charge of most of the episodes in Season 4.
