    Farming for opinions

    Well guys, I finally have a computer again, meaning I can get back to writing. Right now, I'm trying to focus on continuing A Turn of Events. My question for you guys: where would you like to see the story go from here?

    Look! I'm not dead!

    Hey guys! Like it says up there, I'm not dead, just busy. So, I've got a question for all of you. Should my next update be...
    The next chapter of A Turn of Events?
    The next installment of Your New Life?
    Another addition to my latest work?
    Or should I try expanding on the universe I created for Is This How It Ends?

    HUGE Collab

    In case you're interested, a gigantic collaboration has been released by a group I became a part of a while ago. We spent months putting it together, and the main work is being written by some very talented people, such as Vocal Brony or my friend Doccular42. Please support our hard work and check it out!

    In case any of you care

    Alright, my stories are NOT dead, my laptop's still broken and I haven't been able to get to a computer. But I have a computer class in school, so expect an update for something soon.

I need some ideas · 7:31pm Mar 20th, 2013

Does anypony have some ideas for Your New Life? I'm accepting virtually all ideas for it at this point. No matter how wild

Mmm. Sorry if I end up rambling non-sense.

Well, in my opinion, you need to avoid being clichéd at this point. You know, complete acceptance, insta-pairing (don't even know if you're planning that), terror of humanity, things like that.

You also need some sort of main storyline to work with, in which 'us' actually has an objective to strive for, and not just mindlessly hanging around the ponies.

Do we want acceptance? Do we want to get back? Do we despise them? Do we fear them? etc.

Of course, you could always add an antagonist and make the story more interesting by adding a direct conflict. (If you're going for this make it original, don't take the 'chosen one' route).

Well, those were just tips. As for ideas.

Do the ponies have any myths about humans? (or maybe someone as old as Celestia knows about them?)

If so, maybe make an organization made years ago to keep the 'human filth' from returning. (Torchwood style, and we have an antagonist that is not necessarily evil)

Maybe instead of storyline, make the story a bundle of 'slice of life' story meant to build the character of the protagonist (which would be hard, as it is in 2nd person).

Don't be afraid to introduce some OCs to add some events to your story. They could end up being part of your main cast.

Those were all for the long run. Right now, the story needs continuing of the scene you left it on.

Get into the library, get healed while being interrogated,(decide either ponies are afraid of, or just somewhat hesitant to befriend him). Add some background to your character, and the initial reactions of the Mane Six.

He will probably be staying with one of the ponies, decide on who, and work your dialogue and chapter based on that. From then on, you have a blank canvas to work on, depending on the initial reactions.

Huh, I DID end up rambling.
Sorry for wall of text, hope it was of some use.
