From Humble (read: lacking) Beginnings

I'm not sure if I should have waited 'til I actually have a finished story or not, so *shrug*. At least this way I can keep a bit better track of the stories I enjoy and have read/will read.

So the point of this whole thing is to get my writing out there amongst a community I think will actually respond, since I've had issues getting any proper feedback.

It also has the dubious purpose of...oh who am I kidding, I would love to be recognized as 'one of those' amongst the community. Y'know, one of those artists that creates a piece that everyone loves, one of those whose name gets thrown around and is generally recognizable.

Much harder with the written word than with visual art and music, though. *frowns* It's probably an incredibly silly motivation, but I simply admit it's there. And who knows? *throws hands into the air* Maybe I'll pull it off.

I really enjoy this community (the Brony community in general, I mean), I'd like to become a part of it--like, an active known part of it. MLP: FiM has been the first property where I've seriously wanted something like that. And honestly...I think it'd be good for me. Life has gotten somewhat claustrophobic and stagnant as of late.

So time to stir up my creative juices and keep 'em flowing rather than letting them fall by the wayside.

So, if for whatever reason you've stumbled here and have read this, my first major story is in the works. I should be able to post a decent length prologue (probably in the neighborhood of 10K words) within the next few days, or at most a week.

So, I'll also post a VERY VERY tentative schedule (until I get a bit more solidly on my feet with this), and with that close this out. If you're here, if you've read, if you're waiting? Thank you, thank you very much, and stars and stones you must be crazy but thank you ever so much!

Schedule:

~~To Be Released (these are stories that I am currently writing and should be done soon):
- Heart of Chaos/On the Origin of Gods .... A historical fiction/origin story for our favorite Princesses and bringer of Chaos ... By end of June

~~On the Burner phase (these are stories that I've finished a general outline, I know the major players and plot points, and I should be actually writing soon):
- Written Legacy (very tentative title) .... A series of stories starring an OC/partial pony-sona concurrent with the TV series itself; main inspiration--who was running the Ponyville library before Twilight showed up? ... Probably next month (July), or at least after I get Heart of Chaos done (or a few chapters of it at least)

~~Inception/Pre-planning phase (these are stories where I'm mostly brainstorming or scribbling notes in order to get ready to actually write it):
- N/A

~~On the Horizon (stories I want to do/vaguely plan to do but haven't given serious thought towards as of yet. It all starts with an inspiration, after all!):
- A Daring Do Adventure tale (I need to read some of the ones out there, to get a feel for how they're done and of course to ensure I come up with something original)
- A VinylTavia ship/possibly origin tale (if I can think of something original since there are SO MANY GOOD ONES out there)
- A ship fic (failing the above VinylTavia one, or maybe included) (probably starring OCs, but my opinion on shipping canon cast characters may have changed by then)
- A crossover fic or two (most likely candidate is the Dresden Files (since I know that can work and I love that series almost as much as FiM), but I've been loosely thinking on a Mass Effect one as well)
- A true mystery fic (this may be very unlikely. Though I love reading them, writing them is...not something I'm sure I can do. So this is partially for the challenge)
