    To boldly go ... where lots of people have gone before!

    Well, after a minor premature publishing of my debut shot at writing a clop-fic; I must now consider what to do next. I think I'd like to try a sad, romantic story (with a happy ending of course (even if I tried, I don't think I could write a story that had a tragic ending. My conscience would torture me.). I have an idea for an Appledash one, but I'm always afraid it's a theme so thoroughly

    Hmm, possibly not my best idea to date.

    So, at the behest (and indeed vicious prodding and poking) of several friends, I wrote my first attempt at a clopfic (or at least a light clopfic. What do you call that? A clipfic?). It was the result of insufficient sleep, and a sight gag in the last story I wrote.

    Anyone know the cure for feather-flu?

    Blerg! I've been laid out all week with a rather impressive flu/cold type of thing. Some kind of unholy sickness chimera that has left me clinging to life by my very fingernails, and longing for the sweet sweet release of death. Or decongestants. Whichever is easier to get over the counter.

    Driven hard and put away vette

    Yay! It took a bit longer than I expected, but I finally got another story submitted and approved. It's another short Derpy/Dinky one that ... to be honest, did not go exactly how I planned. I was aiming for straight up slap-stick goofiness, and about two paragraphs in Derpy decided she had other plans. Parts of it came out a bit darker than I'd intended, but I hope it's still a fun and enjoyable

    Can I watch while you do it?

    Right! New stories done and I've got a proofreader/editor (thanks Starfall!). Unfortunately, looks like there won't be time for him to read it before the weekend. I wonder if I'll be able to see the edits in real time? If not, that's all right. I won't fret, or panic, or sit huddled under my desk rocking back and forth in paranoid self doubt and

To boldly go ... where lots of people have gone before! · 5:57pm Aug 13th, 2012

Well, after a minor premature publishing of my debut shot at writing a clop-fic; I must now consider what to do next. I think I'd like to try a sad, romantic story (with a happy ending of course (even if I tried, I don't think I could write a story that had a tragic ending. My conscience would torture me.). I have an idea for an Appledash one, but I'm always afraid it's a theme so thoroughly used, it'd be clique now.

I'm also still striving to improve my grammar and punctuation skills, as well as my general storytelling style. I wish I'd kept my textbooks from high school and college (a note to anyone still in school: Don't burn all your textbooks at a huge drunken bonfire party on the last day of school. You might need them later.). I think the best way to do latter is just by writing more stories, and hoping for feedback! Hopefully feedback that isn't wrapped around a brick and heaved at my unsuspecting skull.

It's good to have goals.

That Rainbow Dash gif is... disturbingly alluring.

284526 ... damimt! Now that's the only way I can see it! :rainbowderp:

To late, burned most my books already. I still have math....But, I liked math. Why not try some type of Twilight and Rainbow Dash shipping fic, could be interesting. Also the gif is very much alluring.....:pinkiesmile:

Do a really oddball ship, like I did with Dreamscape!

285862
Bah! Dreamscapes are too convoluted and hard to do properly.... Or even well for that matter.
Though an outlandish ship does sound mighty interesting. Like a Dash of Berry! :yay:


.... Sorry, don't know what came over me :facehoof:

And yes Fly, I did change my Avi. Was starting to show up in my dreams :fluttercry:

285957
The title "Dreamscape of a Spoon" is more... allusion, I guess? Not necessarily literal... It's a SilverMac ship, where the filly in question has been age-progressed several years.

And it's okay. Half the time I write I don't necessarily make sense of it until I near the end anyway. :rainbowlaugh:

284606 Hmm, I hadn't really considered a Twibow story (or, whatever you call that pairing!). I could see them having fun together, as they both have a deep need to push themselves to be the best. I shall think upon this. Mmm, shipping daydreams. It's amazing I haven't gotten fired yet ...

285862 I've got an off-the-wall goofy story half-way done, but I gave up on it because it wasn't sure if I was pole vaulting over the line between silly and stupid.

285957 If I were going to do a 'the hell did I just read' shipping fic, I'd do Berry Pie :pinkiegasp:

Also,

I thought that animated gif was cute! A completely innocent little sprite of RD with her tail stuck on something!

286342
I imagine a Twilight Sparkle sprite next to her, glaring, as if Rainbow tried to do something too rash and stupid for her own good.

286641 I imagined her hanging off the edge of a cliff, with AJ holding RD's tail in her mouth.

286662
Both scenarios are quite amusing. One wonders what Rainbow did or was about to do then? :rainbowlaugh:

My guess is ... she was about to fly off into the very heart of danger without a plan or backup! Or, you know, she was trying to skip out on her promise to help AJ bring in the harvest. Either or.

286678
Most likely. Or she was going to assail a Wonderbolt she suddenly saw, possibly ruining her chances of joining them forever.

286697 You know, I've always thought that even if RD managed to get into the Wonderbolts, she wouldn't be happy. I'm guessing the Wonderbolts have very strict training schedules and discipline. Sound liked RD? Not so much! I think all the rules and obligations would drive her nuts, and she'd quit.
:rainbowdetermined2:

288903
Yeah. I explored that idea very briefly in The Game of Shadows. I came to the same conclusions.
