SPark


Not checking in here. I may post stories because my patrons are nice and like ponies. Otherwise out of the fandom, sorry peeps.

This story is a sequel to Brotherhood


When Prince Artemis takes a break from the stress of rulership, he meets a foreign pony who doesn't recognize him as the god of the moon. Artemis finds he enjoys talking pony-to-pony, and so avoids revealing his true nature. But what Artemis himself doesn't know is that his new friend is also hiding a secret...

This is set in the same setting as Brotherhood, falling somewhere around the Ronan period in chapter 4. However it should stand alone perfectly well, so don't feel any need to read Brotherhood first if you don't want to.

Wait, I'm confused, what happened to Draco?:rainbowhuh:

3989122 Well, it turned out he wasn't immortal after all.

3989135 Ah....That makes so much more sense:twilightsheepish: Thank you :pinkiehappy:

Damnit I thought this was a Skyrim crossover :twilightblush:

That was a nice sequel to brotherhood. I would like more sequels if you can write them.

3990661 Thank you! :pinkiehappy: I am working on two more stories set in that universe. One of them is coming along very well, even.

3990770 Great job then. I can't wait for it to come out.

:fluttercry: Poor Draco

I bet those two had a great friendship that was unlike any both of them had. Liked the story a lot, and looking forward to more pieces of this verse. And while I generally tend to shy away from sequels from pieces that are better being singular, Draco is a character I kind of want to know more of.

4000071 Thank you! I am working more in this universe, but I don't know if I'll be returning to Draco specifically or not. Nothing I'm working on at the moment has him in it. (The one that's in progress right now deals with Artemis' being driven to become The Black Stallion aka. Nightmare Moon.) I do like Draco's character, though, and if I think of anything else to say about him I could see returning to him.

And thank you again for the editing, btw.

4000084 No problem :twilightsmile:

There have been a few things that caught my eye in your stories that could use a touch up. But most of it is just added words and details to scenes on how I think it would improve them. But therein lies the problem, it's my words and not yours. Author's have different styles of writing and I don't want to impose mine on others. I am nowhere near being a competent enough editor to distinguish the difference between professional recommendations for improvement, and my own way of writing.

Nonetheless, I enjoy yours and look forward to reading more as well as see your writing improve :twilightsmile:

If there is one thing I like most about the MLP community, it is the strong support in encouraging others to grow and develop their artistic talents.

4000100 Yeah, pony is mostly a really nice community. Though alas, I seem to manage to attract people who step on a few of my pet peeves here.

Well then. I noticed that my comment was deleted. Sorry if i was rude, but i still loathe immortal Alicorns. Surviving the blood sucking was OK, but reading about the other shit he survived...I just don't enjoy that.

4073892 You ever hear the saying "If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all"? I don't expect nothing but praise, but if you hate immortal alicorn stories, just don't read them, there's no reason to come by just to crap on somebody's work because you don't like the genre it's in.

Love knows no bounds, be it gender, age, species or time itself. Beautiful, sad, but beautiful story.

4263426 I'm glad you liked it. :twilightsmile: Thank you.

4263951 You're welcome. Thank you for writing this story!

That was beautiful.

6797864 Thank you. :twilightsmile:

any plan for a sequel?

8150210 Probably not. I have a few vague ideas, but they aren't a big priority, given that vampire fics are less than popular.

Heh. Just out of curiosity... Why? Why a really old story that nobody much noticed at the time and that I myself have never really promoted? Why this one?

9308326
Because Cynewulf recommended it to Seaddle's Angels and I want to do a personal review of any story I read for SA, whether it was accepted or not.

9308403
Ah, now I know who to blame for this! :pinkiehappy: Thank you, though, it's appreciated. Just... little bit odd.

Well, to be fair, there's always a possibility I'll pick something because it's old and has little attention. I like promoting oddballs sometimes.

Why? Why a really old story that nobody much noticed at the time and that I myself have never really promoted? Why this one?

You know SPark, one of the things we get wrong as people is the belief we don't do anything important. That we don't really affect peoples lives around us. We say hello to the convenance store guy, or help an old lady pick up some apples she dropped in a grocery store, but over all we don't think we matter.

Thats complete bullshit. We each have profound effects on people. We just don't know it. As we go throughout our day, we are background characters in other peoples lives. We walk into theirs for a brief moment, not knowing what happened before we past them, and not knowing what happened after we left. You as a writer have an even wider effect, because even tiny unnoticed works like this one can be found and read by anyone anywhere in the world.

This really old story that nobody much noticed and that you have never really promoted had an effect on someone I know. She lost her fight with cancer and came across this story shortly before she died. Something about it gave her some peace of mind. Perhaps it was the fact that no one lives forever, or that the story reminded her that she would be remembered. I don't know for sure, but I do know that your story had a positive effect on someone.

Even this old, forgotten story.

Nothing you write is as unimportant as you believe.
