I'm sorry · 4:59am Jul 7th, 2013
Hi. Hello. I'm back! I'm not dead! Actually, I sort of am if you count my inactivity online. I'M INTERNETDEAD.
Sooo. For the past several months I've not posted a thing, mostly on account of my writing a novel with my friend, and so I've sort of abandoned you guys. How many fics have I left dead? Not entirely sure anymore, but I've come to sort of 'confess'
I'll start with An Egghead's Guide to Pick-Up-Lines. My confession? I feel kind of stupid, like... childish in the way I've gone through with it. I must sound selfish since there are so many people who love it and it makes it to the front page every time it updates, but I still feel like I could do better. I've gotten way in over my head, and I'm not even sure what to do anymore. I sort of just wrote whatever I felt like and went with it, and now I'm trapped. I probably would have even finished ages ago it had I planned it out instead of running away with it, every time I open it up now I just get hit with a wave of what I can only describe as... I don't know, it makes the pit of my stomach hurt, almost like guilt, but it isn't quite. I don't know, maybe it's because I'm so unhappy with it. Again, I know a lot of my watchers are here because of that alone, and I do appreciate each and every one of you, I just wish I did better.
I think I might just go ahead and re-write A New Nightmare completely. I've not decided for sure yet, but again, I'm not happy with it as I should be and I kind of want to re-write it now that I've gained more writing experience. I actually did have the whole thing planned out, but I left a lot to my imagination, and my imagination ran wild, and now I'm stuck in a corner surrounded by writers block, and wishing I did better with it.
And my other unfinished fics; I'm not really going to promise anything because when I do, it doesn't happen when or how I promise, as for new chapters they'll come when my mind is up to it.
And, so I'm not really sure what I'm going to do with An Egghead's Guide to Pick-Up-Lines. And A New Nightmare? I probably will re-write it. Maybe even An Egghead's Guide to Pick-Up-Lines too, what do you guys think? I'd love to hear your thoughts.
Why do I always post so late at night
Do what ever you want with your Fics, they're yours and if someone gets pissed with something you do with one of them, that's their proplem, not yours.
I liked where A New Nightmare was going, so I guess it depends on how heavily your going to rewrite it. If you are just going to go through and Improve the writing style and the emotion, I think it would be awesome, but if you plan to change the plot or the emotions being felt by the characters, then I personally would not recommend it.
As for An Egghead's Guide to Pick-Up-Lines, I still haven't started that one, though I should. However, if you are planning to rewrite A New Nightmare, don't rewrite An Egghead's Guide to Pick-Up-Lines, as you risk overwhelming yourself with juggling two stories with two different versions each.
It is your decision though. Good luck.
1197787 I'm not going to completely re-do A New Nightmare, just clean things up, as you said. Maybe add or remove a few things, but otherwise leave it unchanged.
Anyway, thank you for your input!
1199584 Always happy to help.
Still, glad your not planning to completely change it.
heh I actually liked "A New Nightmare," there wasn't much that I would change. heh
I think I poked at a few ideas in comments on that story while you were still posting it.
Cleaning it up a bit isn't a bad idea but I wouldn't change the premise or the outcome. xD
This is one of the few fics I think got the right mix between NMM and Twi for me. :D
I love an Egghead's Guide to Pick-up Lines. It is actually one my most fav faves list. If you were to rewrite that, I think twould be awesome!
1211829>>1199584 I did find that Trixie's place in the story was a bit out there. I think you, LittleAngelStocking, talked in the comments about fixing her part, and I think it would be a great idea to fix. Her whole possition in the story felt jarring, and I could never connect whithout thinking, "Why doesn't Cadance and Shiny just tell her to get lost?" They're going on a peace mission, and Trixie talks the whole way about defeating Nightmare Dusk. That's a bit of a give-away that she's about to ATTACK Nightmare Dusk, defeating their entire purpose.
Just my thoughts.
You're one of the first authors I really started to talk with.
It was very fun, and I want to see more of your work in the future.
1488007 I'm glad to hear it! I love talking with people on here, and I feel terrible I haven't been active lately. I need to make it up to you guys somehow, like posting new chapters

And I'll be there to read it.
When you're feeling down, just do the Safety Dance.
