    Taking this week off

    Okay, so I hit a major milestone with the recent chapter of Element of Balance. So I think now is probably a fair time to take a little break and do some editing on that and my other fanfic. So, no new chapter this week. But I'll back next one for sure. I know last blog post I said I fixed the mistake with Steel Gold's name being changed to Gold Steel, but I actually like the sound of that better

    Steel and Gold Mix up

    Okay so I had a little mix up with my unicorn thief character's name these past couple weeks that I just became aware of. I had Steel Gold set as the name in the chapters of Element of Balance, but it seems I switched to Gold Steel in the last two chapters where finally gets caught. Well I just edited the last two chapters to have it be Steel Gold. He does steal gold after all. But Gold Steel

    Where to go now

    Okay, so the next canon section of Element of Balance will be Winter Wrap Up. But first we're gonna need quite a few original chapters to cover the space between that. I don't think we really need a Nightmare Night, though that could be fun I suppose bit we'd have to not have Luna in this one. That can wait till next season/year with Luna Eclipsed. What would be a costume for Fire? Maybe a lion

    Call of the Cutie Alternate Version

    Okay so for those of you who have been keeping up with Element of Balance, I'm going to be doing an alternate version of Call of the Cutie in which the CMC's already know each other and are already best friends. This avoids the contradiction in canon which deviates from the premiere episode where they are shown hugging each other in fright at the sight of Nightmare Moon.

    Coming Sooner then Expected

    Okay, so my last blog post stated that I wouldn't be doing another chapter for Element if Balance for another two weeks. But its going to be coming sooner after all. I managed to finish the final chapter for my Pokémon fanfic a week ahead of schedule. It was supposed to be three separate chapters but ending up being just one. Well that means Element of Balance will now be updating weekly if I can

Have to Do More For Fate of the Legion. · 7:28am Jan 22nd, 2023

Well looks like my instincts telling me to finish the dark version story for Fate of the Legion yesterday wasn't the right thing to do. Based on comments it was too fast paced. That tends to be a thing I hear a few times. I guess its just my style to get things done as quickly as possible. Ah well. A few more days on this story won't hurt. I've made an alteration to the story and had Cozy Glow escape instead of getting killed in that chapter. She'll be back for one more round. But I can't do more than 2 or 3 more chapters. I'm still gonna keep how she gets killed the same, but I'll see about dragging out the battle a bit more.

Man this story is dark man :pinkiegasp: I'm gonna ask, Isn't the successor verse supposed to be dark and sad? In the first chapter Celestia and Luna are dead and then in chapter 2 Cadence dies! Umm I couldn't read past chapter 2.. Sorry.. :ajsleepy:

Well that depends on your point of view. The main point of it is breaking the curse of immortality. It is always sad when someone dies. But when you believe immortality is a curse like I do, death is sometimes the better course so that one can be with their friends in death. The ending is bittersweet at least where they are all reunited in the afterlife. If you think immortality is a gift that's fine. You just do you. There are some dark and sad moments but there are other happy things as well. Try to read more if you can.
