Concerning the Sparkling Reflection of Princess Rarity · 3:00am Apr 26th, 2013
Something needs to be said about it. First and foremost, it's not what Twixie wants.
Story telling to Twixie is a chance to whisk a reader off to another world, to put them in places life could never take them. There is a wonder to seeing grand castles and towering mountains before your very eyes, and that wonder is what inspired me to write in the first place.
I did something of the sort in my last serious story, and the Sparkling Reflection gave me the opportunity to go farther, find greater wonder and excitement. That opportunity was squandered on something else.
Twixie understands that it reflects poorly on her as an author to try again. She also understands that there are almost no complaints about it. In all honesty, I'm probably the most upset with it, and I apologize for being a flake. However, as it stands, The Sparkling Reflection is neither a story I like or something I even want to finish. It does not have the soul I think it deserves.
The Sparkling Reflection will be removed soon and reposted with an entirely different storyline and plot. It is moving at full steam, faster that it was previously. I care about it now as it should be. The first chapter will remain mostly unchanged, but everything after will be almost completely new.
i actually really appreciate that you would rather make the story what you want it to be rather than keep going in a direction you did not want! I cant wait to see the new direction you take it!
especially since i really loved your story The Warm Diary
I had noticed the style changed to be a bit less... i don't know, serious(?) after the first chapter. While I still liked what you were writing anyways, I will gladly go with whatever new way you're taking it
I haven't started reading the story yet so I won't likely notice. I'm glad that you aren't just going to cancel it though. I have been looking forward to reading it but I just wanted to give this story a bit of a head start.
Follow your heart!
