Hiya, I go by the name of SilentBelle.  I'm a guy, aiming to sharpen my writing skills and I use fanfiction as a way to do so.

I'm quite fond of RPGs (mostly the fantasy based ones). And tabletop gaming is where I started practicing most of the concepts of storytelling. I aim to be a professional fantasy writer in years to come.  This is as good a place to refine the skills as anywhere.  In fact, I'd be willing to say it's better than most.

If you write a (non-clop) Sweetie Belle story, chances are that I'll leave an honest opinion on it.  I try not to be mean-spirited, because I know how much effort goes into the conception and writing of any story.  As such, I'll never downvote a story unless it makes an utter mockery of existence (in which case it would probably be reported to the moderators anyway).  If you feel I have slighted you in some way, let me know.  I'd hate to have accidentally undermined a fellow author's self-esteem.

Also, feel free to send me PMs if you feel like my input on your story idea would be beneficial. I like to help other authors when I can.

I hope I can make this great community even better through the sharing of my work as well as assisting other authors in theirs.

Thanks for reading,

~SilentBelle

A Heart of Change

Five years after the summer in which the three had gotten their cutie marks, Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom, now young mares in their own right, decide to go on a quick summer vacation, all as an attempt by Sweetie Belle to help a sad friend.  However, the trip turns out to be more than they had anticipated.

Set five years after Scion of Chaos and

An Emerald Treasure.  For the sake of context I'd recommend reading both of those first.

Cover art is a WIP.

Special thanks to CMC4TW for proofreading/editing/idea-mulling.

The Joy of Running · 5:17am

Yeah, it's Father's Day tomorrow (technically today). Which means I have to wake up in about four and a half hours so that I can run a half marathon. This should be a lot of fun, as it is every year (I think it's my sixth time running the half). Running is a fun hobby of mine, it, along with walking, helps my mind work away at story ideas. Now, because I seem to have lost the time I had set aside to write this past week, I plan on spending the rest of the day tomorrow, after the run, just working away at my next chapter as my legs scream at me for my lack of running preparation.  Then, hopefully, I can keep up a good writing pace right up until Wednesday and get a new chapter out before I go camping. In any case, I gotta get a bit of sleep.

Don't worry about the whole Arctic Advent campaign thing. These things happen. Best of luck on those projects, though.

Guess I'll just have to read your fics to experience your excellent writing. :pinkiehappy:

>>387886  Uploading it right now.  Took a few hours of editing.  Whew!

Hmm, I'm not that satisfied with the story blurb that I came up with, I'll probably rework it tomorrow.  But I need rest.

Thank you so much for the high praise, it truly means a lot to me :twilightsmile:

Magic and cutie marks were two things that I set out to give reason to with Scion of Chaos, and I know magic can certainly be explored a lot further in the sequel and will definitely play a big factor in the story.  I hope to not disappoint with my interpretation of magic.  I should have the first chapter out tomorrow, probably later in the day, knowing editing and the hour or so it usually takes to get a story approved.  

Once again, thanks for reading and feel free to toss your thoughts at me on the new story. If you think I botched something up or what-have-you, let me know.

I absolutely love Scion of Chaos. It's well written, has an amazing description of what cutie marks are. But it also describes the magic almost exactly how I have always believed that magic should feel and work.

I applaud your work, and eagerly await your coming sequel.

I do hope you intend to explore the magics of Earth Ponies and the Pegasi.
