Aftermath of a Fallen Star Update Problems (Not April Fools) · 12:31am Apr 2nd, 2016

Hey, everybody. I know it's been months since the last Aftermath chapter, and a part of that is due to how much busier I have gotten these past few months. A lot of things have happened, some good and bad, and I'm trying to balance it all out. Currently, I'm having a problem with the chapter I am working now. I don't like it that much and I may have to start all over again with it.

The next chapter I want to do is about Mystic Sparkle, Twilight's Little Sister and one of the main characters in the third story of the series. The problem is how to tell her past, which is a lot. A lot of the ideas I've tried are just too much explanation and exposition and not enough actual plot or action. I may have to rethink where to take this chapter again, which means it might take another week for me to even get it into editing. Maybe I'll just do enough to get a clear idea of what I'm aiming with her and her personal drive in this story is while leaving most of her past to explored later in the third story.

I want to at least get this chapter done before I work on other chapters of my other fanfics so I'm pulling all I can on this. I just thought it would be best to let you all know this.

You can't rush something like this. Especially with how much web has already been weaved. You take your time and we'll be happy chilling out while you give us all kinds of backstabbing, politics and feels than we know what to deal with.

Actually, this chapter doesn't really feature much on the political part

Go with her personal drive. You should just leave all the backstory for the third story as it sounds like it will be very important to her development.

I'm disappointed that this blog had the words April fools and there was no joke. :fluttershyouch:

Besides: MYSTIC SPARKLE :yay:..... unless it's a mean April's Fools joke :ajbemused:

I can feel for you. I have the same problems with my other stories.

Don't worry. Good things always take time.
