    Story Scraps 4

    Alright folks, we're in uncharted territory now. This story idea didn't even have a name when I stopped really adding to it. It's not even a fully coherent plot, the middle part, of course, being the sticking point for me. Initially I wasn't sure if it was too big for one story and needed to be split into two or not.

    Story Scraps Part 3

    To continue on with AJUO: Apocalyptica, I do have to admit this is where the idea as a whole started to get "fuzzy" if you will. I'd mentally charted out most everything up until this point in time, but when it comes to the middle of my stories everything goes up in the air in terms of what I definitively want. I start strong and end strong with ideas; I know where I am, and where I want to end

    Story Scraps Part 2

    Hey all! Sorry to be late, but I ended up having technical issues. My computer crashed on me multiple times, and I needed to find out if it's a hardware issue or not. Continuing on from Sunday's exploration into the dunes of Saddle Arabia, let's focus back on Equestria, and take a look at what would have been AJUO 3.

    P.S. I'm not dead yet

    "Hustlin Tom," the wizened old man exclaimed as he looked at the young lad looking up to him, a glint in his eyes as the mysterious music in the background swelled. "Hustlin Tom," he murmured again, shaking his head up and down in recognition, "Now that's a name I've not heard in a looong time." He shook his head a little more, "A long time." "You know him," the youth asked, his face

Seventh Update: It just keeps growing (That's what she said) · 3:32pm Feb 27th, 2013

So I took a look at the word count of Revival of Chaos after I finished chapter 10, and I'm already at over 18,000 words. I've barely even started into the plot (at least in my mind) and I'm already at a word count that's nearly a third of the original AJUO. I expected that Revival of Chaos would be bigger wordcount wise, and I expected it would be at least over 50 chapters long. It never consciously occurred to me that I'd pretty much be writing a novel lengthwise, but I definitely believe now that Revival of Chaos is going to be over 100k words. Looking back at just the material I've written so far, and at the outline for what I have planned to write, I'm definitely going to say the story is going to be Teen rated. Things are going to be darker than the original story; there is no doubt of that in my mind. Just like I promised, though, the story is going to have a happy ending. As the release date is still a month away, I just know that I'm going to have the story fleshed out as best as I can make it by that point, as opposed to AJUO, where I must admit that sometimes I was only a couple chapters ahead of you guys when it came to discovering my story. That is not going to be a problem with this one!
