Status Update... and Patreon · 1:28am Jul 2nd, 2015
Soooo... Do I even have any watchers anymore? I checked my user page, and realized that the last time I uploaded anything, was back in January. . I'm sorry. I realize that I just disappeared, but between school, work, and computer problems I just couldn't find the time to upload anything. That's not to say I haven't been writing though. I currently am working on the next chapter of I'm Captain America, and I have an outline for my other two stories ready to be fleshed out. So don't give up on me yet!
On a slightly related note, I now have a Patreon! Okay, would someone tell the crickets to shut up?
Look, I didn't start writing to make money. This is a hobby, a way for me to de-stress and play in the wonderful sandbox of MLP:FiM. That being said, I'm a college student, and a poor one. I'm not asking for anything, heck, if no one gives me anything I will continue to write just because I have fun doing it. But for everyone who does donate to my "Keep skyace from starving" fund, I'll feature their OC in an upcoming chapter of one of my stories. I'm also considering story commissions for anyone who feels particularly generous. They'd be short one-shots, but still, it's an idea. Guys, this is just an experiment, so feel free to donate as much or as little (or not at all) as you want. I hope that this may even encourage me to update with greater regularity. So here's the link: https://www.patreon.com/skyace?ty=h
So, swing by, check me out, and if you like my work, please consider donating. Either way, the next chapter of I'm Captain America should be finished by next week. Skyace, over and out.
Phew, I was starting to wonder if you were still alive! Glad you are, and sorrowful that, while I'd be perfectly willing, I am unable to throw money your way to help keep your stomach acid from burning its way through your body as the nutrients your body has left slowly seep out of your system.
I await your next story update happily!
3198845 Like I said, no pressure. I'm gonna write whether I get money or not. But keep me in mind if you ever want a story commission or OC feature... or you know, if you just have an extra dollar burning your pocket
3198897 I'll keep it in mind, yeah.
Hey, skyace! I'm still waitin' for you to finish your "MLP/G.I. Joe" crossover. :)
So what are the chances your Captain America story ends up being a Displaced one too given the theme of it all? Having the ability to call on powerful allies from the multiverse will be pretty helpful to this new Captain America, especially against a genocidal griffon and any Captain America, Avengers or marvel villains that show up due to how these things end up going.
3240235 Well, here's the thing... Yes, it's technically a displaced story, in that it features a regular human who dresses in a costume and gets zapped to Equestria, and then inherits the powers and skills that the original fictional character feature. That being said, I don't really have time for collabs or crossovers with other Displaced writers, and beyond that, I've noticed many of the other stories share an overarching antagonist in The Merchant. Mine does not. Sooo, I don't know. There's still a ways to go on my story, so anything is still possible, as personal issues and priorities shift/change/appear/disappear.
3240259 Ok then. Well sort of the guy they want to find eventually to beat the crap out of for screwing them over is the Merchant. There are sometimes another party helping him like the Happy Mask Salesman. At at rare times not somebody to find at all as it was some kind of "I'm sending you there to save them, please be the hero" kind of deal or just luck. The main plot of each story and at times the sequels, however usually leads to fighting The or A main villain of the series the character they're dressed as is from. For Gilgamesh that's Exdeath, Kat Shifter, the Crow I'm guessing, Jason Hughes, The Forever King being all Ben 10 themed.
3241183 Yeah, my hero actually wasn't sent by anyone, so much as he stumbled into a portal Twilight Sparkle created by mistake. And really, is there any other way to travel to Equestria?:P. So no Merchant, no Happy Mask Salesman.
3241212 That's true.
