As I've written in my author's notes in the last chapter of "A changed world" I worked on my master's thesis. I finished it this week and will therefore have time again to do other things. Like continue writing my stories.

In the time some ideas appeared, but I have not written a word for the stories, but I want to change that today.

Aside from that, I'm looking for an additional proof reader if someone is interested.

2122241 Always happy to help! I have other Ponyfinder stories if you're hungry for more adventurous ponies.

2122226 I've read Roots of Stone. I liked it, even though I think the end was somewhat abrupt.

Also since I'm a GM with my own Ponyfinder group(s), I'm looking for other interpretations of the world than my own for inspiration.

(I will also ask you some questions in the Ponyfinder forum, for some clarifications of rules and stuff from your books... Once I get my self to gather them :twilightsheepish:)

I'm being watched! That's alright, though I do wonder what story of mine drew you over?

1938841 Actually I intended on putting some of that in there, but its hard to see her just up and ready to take on things in a fight to the death, even when they came back and were going to kill Melody in the first few moments she wanted to find a peaceful way out, more in character for her.
I kinda intended for her to be a lot more in distress at how easy death comes in tamriel. But I guess I didnt manage it as well as I hoped. Perhaps I can temper that with the editing I am having done ^_^

1938728 It is not just filler (at least for me). One thing I thought rushed was how accepting Twilight was about the ways in Skyrim, when they were first explained to her. She showed no signs of dismay, about how casually they talk about humanoids murdering each other. Neither were any seen when it was explained, that the faction of her dialog partner have taken revenge for an assassinated king (and some of his man) by assassinating huge chunks of the enemy upper castes. Not just the military, but also people she would assume to be civilians.

It would have been possible to make a believable explanation for all this, but as it were it seemed that she is totally okay with the bloodshed as long as her (new) friends and their faction did it, not when someone else committed it. For me it was a serious OoC-moment for Twilight.

I understand why you did it, since such explanations are cumbersome, need a lot of thought and do not bringing much action into the story, but they are necessary to make the story believable.

Sure, other things can be seen as filler, like adding a part were Twilight struggles with her human form [what I'd loved to see] or when she has to actively kill for the first time (even if it is just a undead). They show how the character grew and thus make the character development more enjoyable, but are not exactly necessary.
