My stories tend to focus on emotional drama, especially family drama--and much feels, to boot. Buy me a Ko-Fi! ko-fi.com/brokenimage321

    Random Brainstorming: Celestia X Sombra Nextgen?

    I'm a sucker for next-gens, plus tragic stories of star-crossed lovers. I recently stumbled across some art that reminded me of an idea that scratched both itches, and I'm curious what you think.

    Random Headcanon: Sunburst and Sunset are the Same Pony, Pre- and Post-Transition

    I've always liked the idea that Sunburst and Sunset are related somehow. This headcanon fills in some gaps in EQG canon while playing off that idea. I'm not sure I believe it myself, but it's a fun idea.

    Any Deaf/HoH folks on here?

    Hey, odd question: any Deaf/HoH bronies on here? I'd like to consult about a story idea I have, in which Big Mac is Deaf. I like the idea, but I want to make sure I'm treating the disability respectfully, raising awareness rather than making fun, etc., etc., but the advice I got on Reddit was "Unless you're Deaf yourself, don't." I'd like to talk to someone about this idea, maybe even collab on

    Coltifornia Pones: Feedback/Thoughts?

    So, I've been reading through the rulebook for the new My Little Pony RPG (would anyone be interested in a review/writeup?), and one of the locations they mentioned is "Applewood"--pony-Hollywood, which, the book says, is where the Elements of Harmony are at their weakest. I've found myself brainstorming for what a story/adventure set there might look like, and how the ponies would contend with a

What The Hayfries Is Happening With brokenimage321? · 9:04pm Apr 2nd, 2019

"A new fic? Random brainstorming? What's happening with brokenimage321, and why isn't the new Celestia XVII here yet?"



Just wanted to drop a quick update, in case you're worried:

I am still working on Celestia XVII-2. However, there are a number of things getting in the way:

  1. My semester is wrapping up soon, which means my workload is going through the roof.
  2. I have some PhD stuff I need to handle soon, which is starting to scare me a little.
  3. Still trying to find a regular time in my newlywed life to focus on my writing.
  4. I'm also hitting that "doldrums" point; in my experience, when I hit a certain point in a novel-length work, it becomes a lot less appealing to work on for some reason. I just have to power through it.

I'm still working on Celestia XVII-2 when I can, but I have no idea when it's going to be done. I think I'm going to ship what I have out to a reader (finally) to see what they think of it, which will hopefully give me the shot in the arm that I need to in order to get over this hump.

I'll keep y'all posted!

Yeah. I can definitely understand all of this. Real world concerns DO need to take top priority, after all. And, yeah, I appreciate the fact that you DID take the time to explain certain things.

I always have trouble working through the doldrums phase on my own stuff. Good luck!
