Recapped


It is not the darkness in the story that makes it beautiful. It is the light that rises after it reaches the dregs of despair. Hope. The realization that. while not ideal, things ended well

Chapter 2 is released! And stuff · 8:19pm Sep 20th, 2015

Well, today was exciting. I got on to upload chapter two, along with doing all the formatting that does not translate, and found out people are actually reading the story. Which is just amazing to me since I hadn't put it in any groups yet. I was going to do that when more of it was submitted but wow.

So to all of you out there that have followed me or Of Quills and Blades I want to give you a thank you! I hope you find the journey fun as the story progresses.

All that said, i am currently trying to figure out if there is a way to put in spacing for the stories you submit. When I wrote Of Quills and Blades, I formatted it with a 1.5 spacing and getting on here I discovered that is no longer the case. Which makes me sad (no! my formatting! Come back to me!)

So, what is going on with me? Well, I discovered that uploading on here is not as simple as copy and paste (and had to submit my story twice because of that. That is what I get for trying to do a midnight release of my story. I just don't check for things like formatting X_X Why? Because tiredness knows not what double checking is).

Also, I am also looking to create some sort of banner or picture still for Of Quills and Blades. Even if it is just a cool font. Something to make it look interesting. My computer "Arting" (Arting: Defined as "To do art") skills are woefully inadequate unfortunately. Primary objective is cool font for the words and a quill that I can substitute for the "I" in the word Quill. Why? I like it? And the story and stuff which you will learn about in chapter 2. Oh yeah! If you like chapter one you should read chapter 2. Things start getting more interesting as Recap begins to see the fruit of her actions. And then... must... resist... urge... to make semi-clever quip about the story... NO SPOILERS ALLOWED. Darn it... I thought it was pretty good too X_X Now I wish I knew how to do those Spoiler filters. I am sure Recap would like that feature as well right? (STORY REFERENCE ALERT)

I must be happy because I was brave enough to make that joke.

Anyway! To conclude this exceedingly random blog bit! If you read this I want to ask you what you think! What do you like? What did you dislike? Constructive Criticism is key to improving one's storytelling abilities and I want to learn. That said, if all you say is "I dislike Recap" with no explanation, there is little I can do with that. Essentially, the most helpful feedback is that which says what they think followed by why they think that. Anyway! Thanks so much for reading and may your day end with Sunshine and Rainbows.

... that is a reference to the original Fallout Equestria just fyi. I actually much prefer semi-cool and somewhat cloudy days myself XD

I actually had one friend read it who essentially told me he liked the story and enjoyed it but he just could not empathize with her. He wanted to just scream at her "don't do that you idiot!" or something like that. That is not an actually accurate quote. All that said, i like to hear what you think about the characters and story as well as more broad strokes about my writing capabilities. Anyway! That is all. Have a great day and enjoy chapter 2.

P.S. Still working on the secret project. When that is finished, I plan on doing my first "hey, so this story is a thing" post somewhere. Advice as to where is welcome btw hahah. I think you guys will like it
