    Graverobbing: A Look At Dead/Hibernating Fics

    Pawing through the latter half of my favourites led me to write this blog to showcase some stories that are either abandoned or on "Extended Hiatus". These are stories that I really miss and get all nostalgia-ey about the first times I read them. Please note I haven't read most of these in a very long time so my reviews of them will probably be wonky at best.

    Season 5 Ep 3 Review

    The writers seem to be trying so so so hard to get us to think the castle looks aesthetically pleasing, going so far as to make Rarity mention that "fact" two episodes in a row and have her friends back her up on that. In reality it looks like a Crystal Empire Playset ripoff that spits all over the aesthetic of the town whenever it's in shot. Hopefully it will be in shot by the bare

    Changes to the Story

    I've been mulling over this for quite some time now and I've decided on a big change for the story:

    The character of Orion will be replaced by Flash Sentry.

    Clarification

    In the previous blog post I told of how I deleted the story I had just put up. People seem to think it was meant to be permanent. It wasn't.

Planning, New Season Info and Good News · 3:04pm Nov 27th, 2013

I'm the kind of writer that likes to plan. I've planned the structure of my story, so I know we have roughly four or five chapters to go before the timeskip. I've also got the rough outline for a sequel or two and a few sidestories even. Perhaps the most developed though, weirdly enough, is the backstory. I have a rather detailed summary of the history of Equestria from the time of the first ever alicorns right up to the modern era. Suffice to say, this backstory will probably not break to accommodate new information from Season 4, though thankfully the Tree of Harmony was so much like the idea I had for the origins of the Elements of Harmony that it can be integrated pretty seamlessly.

Also, good news is that I have managed to get focussed enough to write over 3000 words in the last couple of days alone, excluding the other stories I work on, of course. I think I'll be able to get a lot more done fairly soon, as I have a firm idea on what exactly is happening in this chapter. Won't give a deadline though; I hate those things.

"Won't give a deadline though; I hate those things."

Don't worry, we'll take care of that for you :pinkiesmile:
You have 10 left :pinkiesmile:

Other stories? Are those other pony stories? If so, are they something we can look forward to in the nearish future? I'd like to see more from you. On a similar note, any chance of us seeing some of that back-story, or is it the type of thing that will be revealed in the course of the story?

S4 is looking like it will be breaking a lot of fanon, particularly regarding history. I'm looking forward to seeing what the show writers come up with.

Thanks for the update! Looking forward to it!

That sounds great! :pinkiegasp: I love your story!!! :pinkiehappy: :pinkiehappy:

I'm just glad to hear from you and that you're still actively working on your story. Looking forward to reading the next chapter whenever it's ready! :twilightsmile:

Yea, I figured the backstory was pretty huge. While I was reading Night's Favored Child, I couldn't help but admire all of the legends and myths, or Nightmare Moon's recollection of past events. All of that detail adds a lot more life into the story, and I love it :heart:

Woo-Hoo!
