Dramatic · 1:33am Jan 30th, 2016
Lets make this one simple and short.
Those who follow me on this website know of the dramas I have written and what I am capable of when it comes into storytelling and imagination both inside and outside of the MLP universe canon and as a heads up, I actually humanized one story in particular and plan to take it to the next level, as in screenplay it.
One thing that came to mind a while back is that when I started to first write on this site with my now surprisingly popular Bars and Rainbows Forever and The Doll and eventually Soldiers Remnants of Us were in a word, graphic. Too graphic.
Not only were they apparently too graphic but this was emphasized when I released Dead Loyalty that I deeply regret not keeping for myself and I am truthfully and seriously pissed about that. Yes, I admit I didn't intend for the gore rate in that to be on an all-high, nearly off the top level and some things did go a little misunderstood, but in all the assurance I can offer, it wasn't really intended to go down that way. Like, at all.
Through time, I moved on past all the pure gore and 'guts and glory' atmosphere and into the more dramatic regions of storytelling. It was also because of this reason that I was called Dramatic Dan. I even proved this when I wrote and published You Aren't Alone which includes less graphic details and was intended as a heart-pulling dramatic story.
When it comes to dramas, especially with the characters of the MLP universe, I take the perspectives and emotions of a particular character, in this case Scootaloo, and warp them into my own character in my own unique ways whilst sticking to their original character to the best of my ability without going off track with them.
When I first started out with this in writing and understanding emotions, I will openly admit that it was a little of a challenge but I soon got the hang of it and in a short time of learning how to master it, I managed to create the story of You Aren't Alone by taking some of the well-known MLP characters and writing their feelings, thoughts and emotions in my own way to create as much drama as I could.
Now, you may think that I can and possibly do go a little or more than over top with the whole drama thing and my passion for writing, but when you don't really have anything to do but be stuck in your own imagination and ponder on what to do with it, the answer is actually pretty easy, if not, obvious - grab a pen and paper or open a word document and get writing.
I didn't learn how to craft stories and use my imagination in school during English, I taught myself to do it. School has had me stuck in what felt like my own personal hell of a prison for years and I didn't even learn a thing. If you were to ask me what I learned in school, I have to think of something that isn't even there because I never learned anything from it!
This blog can go on and on about my personal experiences and how I got to this stage with writing stories and stuff I taught myself over the years and why I'm so dramatic, but that is a story for another time.
It would amaze me if anyone actually took the time to read all of this. Seriously, it would. You know what else? If you're willing to commit yourself to writing like I am, why don't you just do it? In stories of your own, there isn't even a limit to how much imagination you can put into it and where it can lead you to. Hell, I'll even teach you if you'd like me to.
In fact, just for that purpose and thought, I might open a YouTube channel and show you all just how to do things and how to use your imagination in terms of writing.
Oh, if you're wondering why I tagged You Aren't Alone in this blog, it's because it is probably the best thing I've written so far that wasn't Dead Loyalty and was merely a test of how far I can go with dramatic writing and proving I can create something capable of tugging at your hearts and believe me, it does go a whole lot further than that in terms of drama with what I know and can do.
As a matter of fact, you all will be able to see that in future when I finally get it all ready and into the final stages.
Not the last time,
