Most scoff at the past, stuffing it rudely behind them as they shove through and press their gaze forward towards the future. Some never can, no matter how powerful they may be. And, no matter who they are, the past always catches up. Always.

AND TODAY'S AWARD GOES TO FIREFENG!
2585497 I get an award?! For what, "Most Glaring Inability to Predict Chapter Length"? "Least Likely To Respect Succinctness"? "Most Self-Deprecatory Author's Notes and/or Blogs"?
Really, what I'm getting at here, is do I get a shiny plaque to hang on my wall? I like shiny things. Award plaques taste awful, but...the shininess.
Moar!
2585987 They're not out of the Everfree yet.
It was quite detatiled and accuretly described the actioms, thoughts, and overall 'look' of the scene. All in all quite well thought out and planned so don't worry. Your doing quite well.
2585991 I wanted Moar chapters!
Wow this is your first fic, you can't really tell. It's very well written.
2588692 I used to write stories as a kid, and by the time I was ten I had already read every book by Dean Koontz, Stephen King, Michael Crichton, and Louis L'amour that my parents owned. In eighth grade, my English teacher gave us each a one sentence prompt and told us to write a story about it. Mine was "The car rolled merrily down the road." I wrote a horror story about a car literally rolling merrily down the road in a car accident; it was your standard "protagonist is dead but doesn't realize it until the end" sorta thing. My teacher accused me of plagiarism because, "This is better than even I could do." I came in after school and wrote another story, in her presence, about a girl coming to terms with the death of her mother. Oh, man, the look on her face was priceless.
After that, I didn't write a creative story until this fic, but I still kept hacking out words. I had a Livejournal for years, and I probably put hundreds of thousands of words into it. I always hated people that blathered on about their banal daily lives, so I made it a point to make my entries as entertaining as I could. (Most of it was just me moping about with pained angst; dark times of my life that I'm all too glad I've left behind.)
So, yeah, long story short–I still haven't learned the grace of succinctness–this is my first fic, but this isn't my first attempt at writing by any stretch of the imagination. I've still got a few things to pick up on good storyin' before I feel confident enough to write the story that precedes Nix coming to a land of rainbows and ponies, though. Quite a few things.
2586787 I'm totally writing the next one as we speak. I'm not playing Bioshock Infinite or anything. What do you mean, "What's that on your screen?" It's obviously-
NINJA POWDER TO THE FACE BEFORE I MELT INTO THE SHADOWS OF PROCRASTINATION!
In all seriousness I usually need a coupla days after finishing a chapter to unwind. Most every chapter I've written, barring the times I run into writer's block, have been spit out in a 2-3 day period each, even the 11k word ones. If I'm being extra careful, I may take an extra day to edit (even though I edit as I go along). The latest chapter? It was at 500 words. I wrote the other 3500, passed through to edit it a coupla times, and posted it here all on the same day.
Ugh, I'm rambling again. (Alcohol does that to me.) You should never have to wait for more than a week or two for each chapter. If I really get the ol' neurons churnin' up a lingual storm, probably even less time.
Hi! I read your post on the HiE group and decided to check this out. I read the first few chapters, and I have to say it's pretty good. At first I saw the like/dislike ratio and thought there might be something a little off with this story, but to my surprise I found this to be a pleasant read. Though, while I don't read nor care for human in Equestia stories, I still think this was rather nice for your first fic!
I also read your story that you told Cthulhu Likes Ponies, and it sounds a lot better than my story on how I got into writing (lol). Over all though, I'll leave you with a like as this was well written and decently entertaining from what I read. I also wish you the best of luck with this. Keep it up!

2604439 Well, thank you very much for the comment! I'd ask that you only like/dislike the story if you honestly enjoyed/hated it, though.
As for the like/dislike ratio, I'm still kinda puzzled about that. When I posted my first chapter I kinda botched the execution, to be sure, but every comment I've read even with the unrevised chapter has been fairly positive, so I'm kinda scratching my head over what I've done wrong. Hence the post in the forums.
Either way, thank you for taking time out of your day to spare me a few kind words.

You're welcome.
Case in point. He is so nerfed and useless that he couldn't do what a basic royal guard can do. A basic royal guard killed a huge mass of Timberwolves while our useless hero could do nothing other than feel sorry for himself.
How can you root for the hero when the hero cant win?
We read these things to see the underdog succeed against all odds. To watch a person who had no control over their life, grab control and make his own future. This story is backward, We watched someone in control of his life get it ripped away and become the plaything for everyone else. Then stumble around, weak and useless. If I wanted to deal with a miserable person with no control over his life, I would look in the mirror. We come here and read fiction to get away from that.
