The future of Dragon King · 2:39am Apr 2nd, 2018
Hey all,
Happy April. No fooling just dropping a line.
Working on the next chapter of Green Hill. It’s slow going but I am getting in the groove.
With the guest appearance of Flint in Celly x Bean-verse and his positive reception I thought I would dust it off and finish it. That was several weeks ago and you know what I found?
It’s like trying to squeeze into the outfit you wore to your baptism.
Believe me folks, I tried but I just couldn’t make it sing. The main reason: writing in 2nd person. I fell in love with those kind of stories when I first started in this site, particularly Scorched
But I want to finish it, in some way.
I have an idea. And if anyone is still reading, comment and I will tell you what it is.
Until then.
Later!
I'm interested in hearing what the idea is.

Then as promised:
If you haven’t read his guest appearance in This Nose, Celestia agreed to fight Flint 20 years from then. That was always my plan, for them to have a showdown in one form or another.
This new and potentially finale will be Flint fighting Celestia as an adult, having honed his skills in the world. More than likely this would be a one shot, and a new story. But it will resolve something, and bring closure.
Thoughts?

I love it. Also, I have indeed read the chapter in This Nose which was delightful and the reason I binge read The Dragon King's Rebirth.

Thank you!
I hope I can deliver.
I’d like to see
Would you claim the appearance in This Nose Knows is canon to your idea? Are the two stories in the same setting or is it just an alternative version of what you intended to happen in your own AU anyway?
I always figured that Flint would get over it, have a new purpose. If there was a showdown, it would be going through the motions, an obligation. Since it was set with him as a colt, I figured it's those moments that would be the most transformative to him as a character.
Im also interested

Part of him would. But I also think the idea of not showing up to a fight would mess with him worse, regardless if he doesn’t want to or not.
If writing in 2nd person is something you are having trouble with, do you want to trial a different perspective for a chapter or two and see how it goes?
Or do you think it would disrupt the flow of the story?
Also what chapter does flint appear in that story you made a link to?
So, if your having trouble with the 2nd person, what perspective are you wanting to replace it with? 3rd person limited? First person even?

There already was trying out alternative perspectives in the chapter where Flint's mom goes to thank Cheerilee for helping Flint open up more.

Sorry, forgot about those parts
Thanks for pointing it out
There is airways a variant of rewrite, which could allow you to do things a new way, uniformly and without trying to squeeze it into old suit.
