A disguise was essential, and especially a lavender one.

“Purple is a special colour, you know. Only like, one point oh oh percent of the population is purple—at least that’s what Twilight said, or was oh oh point one? oh point one oh?” Pinkie shrugged and smiled. “So, who are you actually?”

In this blog post, I’ll discuss the writing process for Turning Over a New Coat.

A single hoof slammed down on the wasteland, kicking up a cloud of fine ash. The air was filled with the acrid tang of burning wood. The world burned around her, huge plumes of smoke blocking out the light of the sun and blackening the sky. Still, the purple alicorn paid no attention to this. She steadied herself, readying herself for the battle of a lifetime.

A monstrous roar filled the air, and she could hear the signature crackling of magic being charged up.

The sky was a beautiful azure blue, and the clouds were as smooth and round as a mare’s buttocks.

Writing descriptions isn't easy. And it isn't easy because getting the right similes and metaphors isn't easy. Ever had the problem where you wrote something so awesome that even Shakespeare would rise from the dead to congratulate you, only to realise that it's utter crap a minute later? Ohh, burn in that disappointment. Burn!

There are times when I feel utterly floored by another’s writing, and this is one of them.

And when I say finally, I really really mean it! This story has been in progress for about one and a half years, and I wonder how many people out there still have this in their read list. Hmm, probably not a lot. Probably none at all. But it doesn’t matter! What matters is that this story is coompletee! And let me tell you how that feels. It feels GREAT! Never mind that it isn’t an all too amazing story, never mind that there aren’t many people left that are still following it. I still

So really, the episode opens somewhat In Medias Res, with the ponies already having their cutie marks swapped. That technique was supposed to lure the audience in by placing action sequences at the start of the episode, but instead it left me wondering what the hell was going on for a good five minutes (25% of the episode), only to have it briefly covered over by a Twilight-screws-up-a-spells cliché and there being no counter

Random crew member #1: "SIR! Incoming news, sir!"

Captain Cheezecakes: "What is it, young one? What is the trouble?"

Random crew member #1: "But sir... I'm actually a year older than you are."

Captain Cheezecakes: "Very well. What is it, Random crew member #1?"

Who's keen on a matrix crossover with ponies? I'm in the processing of writing one, with comedy as its main theme. Burraku_Pansa's already done an awesome cover picture for it. I'm lacking a title though, because 'The Maretrix' and 'Enter the Maretrix' have already been taken. I need something simple and easy to remember, preferably with 'Maretrix' as part of it. Hmm...

I must say that I went into this story expecting a lot. And I mean a lot.

Draconequus would consist of eight chapters if everything goes according to plan.

They are:

1: The Three Circles
2: Close Encounters
3: Safety in Numbers
4: A tale of Darkness
5: Signs and Symbols
6: An old police station
7: Never-ending Night
8: The Darkest Hour

Great. Hopefully I won't need to any anything after that. I'm still a little uncertain about the chapter names. I kind of thought of them on the spot, which doesn't usually turn out well...
