Welcome, everyone! These are the author's notes for Vinyl Scratch Tries Her Hoof at Dentistry. They are intended to be read after the story.
As these are extensive Author's Notes for this fanfiction, here's an adorable image of its two main characters to, alongside pushing all the behind-the-scenes info below the break, also brighten up your day!
"WHAT IS MORE IMPORTANT, YOUR FAMILY or YOUR HEROISM?"
That old contradicting plot of conscience and priority still goes at it.
A hero has a family, friends, things in a normal life, but almost all the time they forsake them to jump into action because the world needs them more.
[laughs nervously] So… now you can get an exclusive behind-the-scenes insight on the creation of this story!
NOTE: Brief notes (yes, I mean it this time!) on the revised version are at the blog post's bottom.
I've been sitting on this one for a while now. It was late in 2014, and while Rainbow Rocks had restored my faith in the show after Twilight's Kingdom, I was still in kind of a funk. Mostly because of some personal reasons, as at that point I was still feeling kind of directionless in regards to IRL stuff, partially because of my lack of progress on any of my major stories, either on here or with my original ideas, and partially because I kept trying to write but everything coming out of my
Ladies and gentlemen, I am pleased to announce that I did not descend into madness this week. This week, above all weeks, was horrid, hard, and crazy. But I lived. If I can, so can you. Here is what happened that made me say I survived.
Hello everyone. Like I mentioned in my previous blog post, I wanted to kind of go over the different iterations Sky Blue Bro went through. It actually went through an awful lot of changes from inception to publishing, and a lot of ideas were scrapped, changed, and tweaked for various reasons, ranging from trying to keep under the word count (on GDocs Sky Blue Bro got to 6000 words exactly, whereas on FimFiction it went about a hundred and fifty words over, as bloody usual), but also to convey
So, this has been a work years in the making. I was going to wait until chapter 2 was completely finished before publishing this, but then I got a nice comment from FanOfMostAnything of all people asking if there was more, and I guess that motivated me to go ahead and put it up. Thanks Fan!
Let’s talk about SunDagio for a bit. Depending on how exactly you define it, Lost in Paradise is somewhere between my second depiction of the pairing and my fifth.
Spoilers for Lost in Paradise follow. If you haven’t read that one yet, then I’d suggest going no further until you have.
With a pairing of these two for my Jinglemas story this year, it took quite the restraint to avoid making the obvious pun in the story*: a pun so obvious, the show put it in a Season 1 episode written before Berry Punch had even been designed as a background pony. Light spoilers below for the story, of course; read at your own discretion.
haha we don't talk about my old stories ok. ok ahahah those are old don't read them please i'm begging
i'm keeping them on this site for, ah. archival reasons. allow me to spare you from witnessing approximately 10k words of run-on sentences and improper usages of "your" that I, somehow, in 2014, once believed had any value as a form of literature. sincerest apologies to the few dozen whom that very misfortune fell upon
yeahhhhhhhhh, i already migrated back to tumblr several months ago, and removing the ability for me to make weird polls that anyone can vote on is just one more bad thing on top of the giant pile of bad things that is twitter. I'll be on my aforementioned tumble and its sideblogs with my weird polls if you wanna find me. i post stuff like the below sometimes:
As a follow-up to my most recent story, I thought I'd expand a bit on some aspects of the story that folks have been asking about. Join me after the break, won't you?
But I'm gonna be a geode someday, as soon as I get over myself.
