The Silk Road That Leads To The Sun (Extras: "Rebirth of the Author", deleted scenes) · 8:11pm Feb 16th, 2015

While the blog series had pretty much reached it's conclusion with the previous post of mine, there are a few other things that I feel compelled to mention, if only in passing. Minor observations, things that would have bloated the related blog posts too much, and some other tidbits that may or may not interest you.

The Silk Road That Leads To The Sun (Part 8: Closing Thoughts) · 1:48am Feb 11th, 2015

My good friend Miller Minus made me think about something interesting recently: was all of what I just described always there as I wrote this fic, intended to be noticed all along? Or did it only exist in my mind, subconsciously influencing my hands as I typed the story?

The Silk Road That Leads To The Sun (Part 7: Wanderers, poetry, alcohol, and music) · 11:38pm Feb 5th, 2015

The only things left to discuss are the ones that require more than just a paragraph or two, which is why I didn't let them make the previous post any more bloated. In a way, these elements are also a bit more special to me than the others. Unlike the details that I can explain directly, some of these are just as mysterious to me as to my audience, if not more so.

The Silk Road That Leads To The Sun (Part 6: Events, themes, and other goodies) · 7:22pm Jan 24th, 2015

Well, with every other major element of the story pretty much dissected, I figured I'd move on to some of the less prominent, though no less important contents of the fic. Without complicating things too much, I'll just make a quick pass through the whole thing and stop at the noteworthy points to comment on them.

For this post, let me start off by setting the tone with a song and a picture:

The Silk Road That Leads To The Sun (Part 4: Zecora) · 12:34pm Jan 15th, 2015

It would be pretty silly if I left the main character out of the loop, right? :duck:

The Silk Road That Leads To The Sun (Part 3: Characters and roles) · 3:42pm Jan 13th, 2015

With the plot now in place, part 3 of my analysis of To Catch Up With The Sun deals with the characters themselves, specifically the choice of canon characters and the use of additional OCs, as well as the roles they fulfill in the fic.

The Silk Road That Leads To The Sun (Part 1: Conception) · 10:46pm Jan 10th, 2015

After being inspired by SilentWanderer's blog series about his magnum opus (link), I've decided to start my own little series about the fic which I consider one of my best works (though not the best, that one might get a separate blog someday), where I will dissect and analyze the key aspects of the fic itself, as well as the creative process. And that fic is

Dissect thyself · 2:17pm Jan 6th, 2015

So SilentWanderer is doing a series of blogs about how he developed his magnum opus entitled "Fluttershy's Garden" (the fic definitely has my seal of approval).
