Ah well, *shrugs*. Can't say I'm really surprised that the one I wrote got pretty poorly received. Guess even if the grammar and vocabulary isn't horrendous, if the concept is bad enough people will hate it anyway. Ah well, it was enough of a test-bed to see how well the concept would be received anyway. This'll probably be a one-off and the only chapter you see out of this... "series", and I'll divert my efforts into my other projects. To be fair, the damn thing was clogging up my system with

Welp, I've finally done it.

I've crossed one line that I've never crossed before.

I've gone on to write what equates to a wish-fulfillment Gary Stu self-insert. God, what have I done?

You know, the funny part is according to my proof-readers, this is actually one of my better-written pieces. The first chapter that I'll be posting up soon is more of a proof-of-concept than anything else, to see if such a thing is well-received and people can enjoy it.

Glaring plot holes, Celestia getting her ass handed to her by the changeling even when she's a freakin DEITY, and Cadence coming out of nowhere with this being the first time we're being informed of something as major as Twilight having a BROTHER aside, I have to say I still quite enjoyed the finale for what it was. No story's perfect, but it was the little things that made it for me - Lyra being finally voiced, Vinyl's eye color getting canonized, and the major fight scene the mane 6 had with

How many stories do you know out there begin the prologue with atmospheric freefall combat? No? How about orbital freefall combat?

God, I really need to stop playing Asura's Wrath. THE SOUNDTRACK JUST WON'T GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!!

Six-armed Pinkie Pie taking on a country-sized Finger Poke of Doom with nothing but pure hot-bloodedness, rage, and determination to back her up.

She shatters ALL HER ARMS punching out her enemy, and even when she regains consciousness but doesn't recover enough to regenerate her arms, she continues to fight with nothing but her legs and her head with HEADBUTTS GALORE.

That is all.

Dunno if any of you guys have played Asura's Wrath yet, but if you haven't, it's more of an interactive anime than an actual game. Still, I enjoyed its presentation, and its Holy-Shit-Quotient is OFF. THE. CHARTS. It's balls-out shit-awesome with the scale of everything that's happening despite having a cliched-as-hell script.

Anyway enough about that mini-review, the point of this is that while watching the cutscenes of Asura's Wrath, something struck me.

Well, here's the first one of these. I'm going to use these blog posts to let the readers have some transparency on the writing process, and see how progress is coming along for the various chapters and perhaps even have a few sneak previews on what's coming up.
