    Update Log 4: Big Changes

    Entry 4:
    Wow. It's been one hell of a year, hasn't it?
    ...well, it will be by the time it's all over.
    I'm here to give updates, and a brief glimpse into the mind and life of a mad author.

    So... things have been happening, I got a lot to get through, and I don't want to bore you all to tears (which I'm already doing) so let's get into it.

    1. The Son of infinity

    Hello all.
    With chapter 13 for Son of infinity coming out soon (it's 90-95% done) I thought it'd be time for a quick update.

    First of all, thank you. Thanks to all of you whom have already read/begun reading Son of infinity; I really didn't think it'd take off so fast. So... thank you.

First of all: Thanks. Seriously. I didn't think I'd get 100 views, much less 1000. Yet over 1000 people have read Son of infinity. I'm grateful so many of you actually read my "trash" fanfiction. Don't get me wrong, I have standards, but writing a fanfic is tough. Congrats to everyone out there who makes entirely original works, you rock.


Second...
Ernest Hemingway once said "the first draft is always [REDACTED]."
Couldn't agree more.
I am beginning to regret certain choices I have made for Son of infinity... the love-triangle included.
I wanted to make something a little more interesting that started as one might expect, with major events kind of flowing at the same pace as in the show, only for all the little changes to accumulate smoothly into an entirely different narrative direction. One way of doing this was keeping Cadance and Shining Armor as "just friends". The problem I did not have the brainpower to foresee is... well... everything after that.

Let me know which changes you want me to keep, which you want fixed, and how you would like some issues resolved in the comments below. My quick-list of issues:

  • The impending pen/sub-ultimate threat being revealed too soon (it doesn't even show up in this book- not properly at least)
  • The love triangle (specifically Cadance, but then how would Twilight work without Cadance's motivation of a rivalry between the two? Yeah, yeah, I know I could go with basic stuff, but that doesn't live up to the vision I am creating)
  • Chapter length/depth (I want to go back and fix things- ie making chapters closer to a similar length (I'm doing 1.5K min, though feel like upping it to 2K) -but I feel like it's an immovable brick wall every time I look at it. Imperfect, but unchangeable)

One last thing.
...actually, I got nothing.
I was going to say something about Being of infinity, but... it's REALLY bad at this point. The chapter I uploaded is already multiple versions outdated, and I haven't been bothered to write a new one with Uni going on. So... Nevermind. Forget this part was here.



Sincerely,
Krystl Fae
