    Find the Magic, yo

    My peeps, I love the Dazzlings (especially Adagio). Ya'll should check out the new video. 10/10 should write another Dazzling fic. We could all use a little more Dazzling in our lives. In other news, Sunlight fic making good progress. Like half way done maybe?

    Future

    You know, even with my personal favorite stories I've written, I look back at them and I'm like "I used that word too many times", and "I'd adjust how the plot progresses a bit." It's an interesting experience reading your work after some time passes. Anyway, working on something fun. More Sunlight is coming! I hope all of you are having a good time working on your wips.

    New Story: A Silent Plea

    Hey everyone!

    I wrote a new story

    TA Silent Plea
    Rainbow Dash is drifting further away from her friends. She claims nothing is wrong, yet she ignores them every chance she gets. Desperate to reconnect with her best friend, Fluttershy takes matters into her own hands before it's too late.

    . I wanted to write something emotional, so I hope you all enjoy it. It features Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash. I'd love to hear what you all think, so feel free to leave a comment after you're done reading!

    Did You Know?

    Did you know it's been a little over 5 years since I wrote Loyalty? That was my first and last time I had written Flutterdash. It's been a long time since I've written about this ship, but something is coming soon. I hope you all will like it.

So Any Projects? · 8:01pm Apr 7th, 2018

Any of you working on a fic you're particularly excited about? I'm thinking that it's been awhile since I've written anything Flutterdash related. Though, I've also been toying with a Startrix (is that the ship name?) story for awhile.

After pausing (finally tbh) the one I was writing, I do actually have some ideas, and I feel quite positive about it (even if the fic itself is really NOT positive at all). Hard to find time though.

will be working on a fic soon but I am stuck looking for good cover art I have to find something that is both dark and heartfelt at the same time.

I'm glad that you feel positive in your ideas! What's the fic about if you don't mind me asking?

Time can be such a fickle thing to find.

Ah, yes the search for cover art. I know it well. It's difficult to find something appropriate for your fic when you don't commission a drawing. I've been fortunate before to have an artist make art for some of my stories, but that isn't always feasible. Honestly, I've been debating on just releasing stories without cover art. I mean neither fanfiction nor Ao3 use cover art much. It's just a real pain since I like to ask artists if I can use their work for my fic. Kinda difficult when they haven't been active in several months. There's always Derpibooru, but I've never been comfortable just using another's work without asking first.

Ooh, dark and heartfelt is my kind of story. I've always enjoyed dealing with emotions, though it can be difficult to express them sometimes. Can you give any hints to your fic?

Sure thing! In my head, it's an EQG AU where Sunset didn't lose, and that leads to a number of things until she comes to herself only to realize what she has done.
It probably going to be a one-shot (albeit a long one, I hope), to test myself to see if I'm still able to write something decent. It's gonna be sad, it's gonna be dark, and I already have the ending planned.

Color me intrigued! I've pondered about what would happen if Sunset won the Fall Formal over the years. (I do love a good sad and dark fic.) I wish you luck in writing your story. It's great to test what you can do as a writer. I like to test myself from time to time (with varying results).
