First pony related writing I had tried ssstarting, leaving this up as a tesstament of how far my writing has come since.


Dreams have long been a topic of discussion amid the scientific community. Their unpredictable unexplainable nature constantly refusing to yield any secrets. However, one poor soul discovers their exact meaning as he is ripped away from everything he knows and holds dear and is brought into a new world. Wanted by an ancient shadow that is threatening to loom over the land once again for unknown reasons, he must come to terms with this strange and unknown place if he wishes to survive.


Had written this back in November before my TwiLuna story was even a concept, really just putting this up so it does not go to waste. The image was randomly plucked off Google.

Thanks I suppose, it shall be read upon the Blue Moon on a month ending in the letters 'er', if my Read Later list is any indication. :rainbowlaugh: Thanks for the words, good to know some folks do like how its presented as much as what is being presented.

I've got ~2,500 words in what would be the next chapter. I will see if it is near completion sometime next week and if so, look at at least wrapping it up so that the folks who are interested in this will have some more to read. However, at the moment my imagination is in overdrive for Becoming One With The Night Thanks for the appreciation as well!

uploaded today as well? hell yes

followin'

Lol, yup. And as another cherry (Uploaded the Lyra story, Updated Becoming One With The Night today so far) I am also formatting and making sure that there aren't any glaringly obvious faults in the next 'chapter' of this story. On a god damn roll today!

Next chapter seems good, one final check tomorrow and it'll be going up.

nah, that's next chapter.
really, just a play off the Time Warp song. Not sure how or why it came to mind, but it did.

You have my attention ... you may proceed.

Why, I think I shall...
Tomorrow! I've got some tweaking to do with the last bit of the preexisting writings I had from November to ensure it flows smoothly, then its going up.

Not a bad start. Looking forward to see where this goes! :twilightsmile:

Have you decided who will get shipped?

If so, who?

I've got two choices in mind.
One of them makes me want to keep from having a bittersweet ending, which involves breaking a few of the traditional taboos of HiE. The other choice, not so much. Not that that fact alone is going to sway my choice.

Either Luna, Twilight, or a combination. Only thing I'll say on the relationship stuff for now, as I haven't made up my mind completely.

1879120 Combination is always more interesting to me. Especially if Celestia herself is involved. Lol. She never gets shipped that much, for some reason...

Without spoiling too much, at this point I'm extremely hesitant on any 'herd' scenario, mostly because I feel that I don't have the skill required to properly pull it off. And well, I mean if I truly wanted to I could justify Celestia in a herd situation, I would probably lean more towards putting Twi with her instead.

Time will tell. I've got to brainstorm the next chapter's contents anyways, so we'll see. Regardless, it'll be a realistic romance, meaning no 'oh my god, we just met and this is crazy, but here's my dick so fuck me maybe?' situations.

And my god, did I seriously just make a spoof on Call Me Maybe? I sure did.

1879167 Pfft hahaha!

And being realistic is always good! Stupid 1-shot clopfics...

Yup, I'm still shaking my head at myself for that one.

And yeah, I like the slightly more realistic approach to things. I mean, I've got the method in mind to give him some 'extra abilities' while keeping it semi realistic and not over powering him at all, but again, really just what I feel the most comfortable with. Regardless, there will be some major friend-shipping early on, as he needs time to acclimate anyways before he can come to see ponies in such a light. And I swear, this story keep gaining more and more folks... not that I'm complaining, just means I'm going to have to start stretching myself a tad more to ensure all my readers stay happy now, lol. xD Means I might have to work on the next chapter after BOWTN is done and I get a prologue typed out. *random musings of an author

1879266 Well, this will definitely be entertaining. Keep it up :pinkiehappy:

And don't burn yourself out on writing either. Stretching yourself a bit would be good, but don't over-do it. We be patient folk. Well, some of us.

I do hope so as that is kind of the plan, although more to be entertaining to myself. The enjoyment you folks get out of reading it is simply the icing on top, so to speak.

And I don't expect a burn out, this keeps me from pulling out hair during work, as 80% of my 8 hour shifts are spent doing... nothing. While I have no qualms getting paid to mostly do nothing, finding something to entertain myself is a must, and thus I finally got into writing semi seriously. For example, what is posted her took me approximately 5-6 weeks to write up. If you go peek at my other two stories, that has been over the course of ~15 days now. Plus I've got another 2.5k words written up towards my TwiLuna. It is a fun and enjoyable experience, plus I am learning a lot. And oh, being in control of a story for once? Amazing feeling.

1879332 Yeah, some. Personally, i get angsty waiting on a good story to update. I always want to know what happens next, and i get tired of not knowing. But i understand that some authors take time, so i have like 40 stories i'm reading to put off my mind. Yay for giant story sites like this.
