In Progress: an Update! · 10:28pm May 2nd, 2016
Well, ive been making considerable progress with the ideas for the next FDTL chapter. I invited several peoples OCs to have a role, as a way of thanking them. I now have a fight scene, some new friends for Sombra and company to meet, and a coronation speech to write! And other things~ *wink wink* (no, nothing sexual, geez im bad at this subtlety thing...
). Ive written a fair bit so far, from the ground up, and im happy with it~ There are many plans whizzing around my head...
I ws having a chat with an old DA friend from my early fandom days when i was into an obscure french CGI carton called Skyland, and we ended up discussing how id changed. Not in art style...but in confidence. Looking back, when i joined the MLP fandom, i became a total flutttershy, timid and uneasy. At the slightest hint of dissaproval, i fled, crying. Time was, when id tell people flaming my stories to take a hike, or simply carry on, following my motto back then: "I regret nothing!". Im not sure what changed, i guess i was just very intimidated from the get go, and it just stuck that way.
I wrote up a short-ish (well, comparitively speaking) story some time ago thats so absurd and out of my comfort zone i considered it too crazy and binned the idea before it was finished. But, as often happens, that old part of me kept needling me to give it a try. After months of indecision, I talked with a certain person on skype, airing my worries about how odd/WTF-ish pairings are viewed on this site sometimes, that i was scared. She said i should finish it, and try posting it. That even if it blows up, she'll be there to cheer me up.
It is with this in mind that, combined with the DA conversation, i intend to proofreead and spellcheck the aforementioned crazy fic, and give it a shot. I started the idea back at the start of the new year...So the grammar and spelling is a mess right now....luckily most of its already finished from before, so i wont be wasting loads of time finishing it.
So, to warn you, this may seem very strange, and it has some smutty MxM scenes in it. So if thats not your thng, just ignore it! I just want to warn you for when it does go live, so you dont think ive gone entirely crazy.
And naturally, ill be free to concentrate on FDTL better, once this is out of my system. I need to face this, its been on my mind for a long time...maybe this will give me the courage i need to stop being so damn scared.
I remember that show! The French really make some great stuff. It's amazing the magic they can work with Flash animation!
It's nice to have real friends, ain't it?
3914313 You watched it too? it was my first fandom, in terms of art and stories! ^^ I Still have some of the episodes on an old external HD...
Yeah, its awesome! ^^ ive been pretty oblivious, always living in my own head, and i almost forgot about those thatve stood by me all this time...
3914374 I watched a lot of shows when I was younger! I loved French animated series, especially Skyworld, Tara Duncan, and It's a Kind Of Magic. Think I've got some scattered around my old laptop HD.
I feel that. It's nice to know that not everyone in the world is an egocentric jerk.
Go for it! You never really know what others will think of it until it's been posted. And, knowing your story writing abilities, I'm sure it'll do well even people react poorly to your choice of parings!
I, for one, ship EVERYBODY with EVERYBODY. Just, not generally at the same time. Usually.
And if you need an editor for this new one? I'll be right here.
