I realize that this blog post is about two months late, but I got side tracked with school, work, and family issues. Sorry for the delay. Anyway:
* Dr. Layne would've died sometime in the next chapter in order to same Twilight from a large tar monster that was going to be Sleipnir's version of the Smooze.
I haven't been able to bring myself to write anything in the story since August of last year, and frankly I don't think I want to. I'm not as in to the My little pony fandom as I was when I started writing the story, and given that the story heavily revolves around elements taken from the fandom it's a bit difficult to keep myself interested in the characters. I'm going to give myself a week to
Sorry for the dearth of activity, college and depression basically killed my plans for jumping back into Sleipnir. Anyway, since i only have five chapters until I finish the story, I was wondering about what kind theories my two or three readers have come up for it.
So I've been thinking about how to approach the Sleipnir lore posts, and can't decide where to start. I've come up with a list of things that will unfortunately not be explored in the story proper (there are only about five chapters left), but I cannot figure out which is the most interesting. The list goes:
Sleipnir is going to take more time than I initially calculated to finish, and as it stands I'm going to have to cut down a lot of plotlines if I'm going to finish it within the next few years. I was thinking that I could provide some nuggets of lore to explain a few things that won't be covered in the story itself, such as Dread's backstory, the nature of Puck, and its relationship with the Book
Honestly for me it is Pinkimena. She is an interesting character in your story and I want to see where she goes. She is dangerous. She is a friend. She cares for you. She might eat something you may not like. You are constantly wondering can she be truly redeemed long term or is she only temporarily able to try?
I love seeing where she goes in relation to the story and how she relates to Twilight.
I like how the characters are handled in the story. Also the environment is described well. I am curious at how things will turn out for the well written characters.
It takes some of the least palatable bits of the fandom and weaves them into a complex but coherent narrative.

Coherent might be the greatest compliment my writing had ever received.

Most of the time, I don't know what's going on in the story, but it all feels like it's following an internally consistent set of rules.
Also the audience's confusion lends a sense of immersion. Lets the audience empathize with the characters.
Like the previous comment, it takes a genre that is traditionally murky and makes it easy to follow. Also, the horror. You're good at that.
I'm a sucker for Asylum Stories, so when I get one with a bunch other things I like, I go crazy for it.
