    A New Hope

    Someone made a suggestion in my last post, and it was a good suggestion, so without further ado:

    Endings and Beginnings

    Hey'all. Once again it's been embarrassingly long.

    Back at it

    Oh boy. It's been more than two years, but Uniformity is finally out of hiatus. I didn't expect it to be that long, but things like that are hard to predict.

    As they say, better late than never.

    Along with the new chapter there's a brief summary of events so far, since I expect I'm not the only one whose memory needs a bit of jogging.

    Here again

    It's that time of year again. I'm talking about NaNoWriMo of course.

    I have been writing practically zilch all year. Just haven't had the energy for it. I know you're all waiting for some sort of update - new chapters and new stories - but sadly I can't promise you any of that yet.

    Uniformity officially on hiatus

    I think I owe you all an update on the status and progress of Uniformity.

    With Back and Forth done, I had hoped to get right back to Uniformity and finally give you some regular updates. Unfortunately, that hasn't happened. I haven't been able to write anything lately, and I kinda feel like a mess right now, trying to juggle everything.

My Next Major Storyline ... is a Beast! · 11:00pm May 4th, 2013

Are you excited? Huh huh huh? :pinkiehappy:

Well, I sure am! Because I've been wrestling with this bloody stubborn story for weeks, and it finally gave up the fight and surrendered! Hah! That'll teach it to mess with me!

Incidentally this is why actual writing has been slow from me. Now that I've worked out this beast of a story, I should be able to actually start writing stuff again. Hopefully.

So what is this new story going to be, you ask? Let me tell you! It's a wondrous composition of absolute poetic beauty and romance, an unrivaled adventure and grand exploration of legends and myths ... or at least it will be once it gets a little meat on its bones and some clothes to cover its pale limbs.

Okay okay, I'll get to the point already. Geez, some ponies :trixieshiftright:

So at its heart it's a romantic adventure about Bon Bon being a bloody stubborn bastard trying to win Lyra's heart by persistently and annoyingly following her to the end of the world, even though Lyra is a bloody obsessive and secretive bastard who totally won't accept Bon Bon's aid or tell her why the hay she's suddenly in a rush to leave town without a word of goodbye.

Rainbow Dash tags along too, but she absolutely won't say why because she's a Celestia-damned secretive bastard too and probably in league with Lyra who totally paid her (which, believe her, didn't come cheap :rainbowdetermined2:)

Also humans and ancient, long forgotten legends and myths from the dawn of time!

High Adventure! YEAH!

So I took an idea I had for a Lyra and Bon Bon romantic adventure involving humans (with a twist), and then I grabbed another idea about Rainbow Dash and Lightning Dust, and I jammed it right into the bleeding heart of the first story and made it one rhythmical beat! Then I took a third idea about how Celestia and Luna came to control the sun and moon, and I weaved that masterfully into the bloody fabric of the musical Frankenstein that is my story. Finally I sprinkled it with some The Last Unicorn, some mild Lovecraft and some more obscure influences, some TwiDash and a little dash of Scootaloo.

Confused? How do you think I felt wrangling this beast, then? You'll get to enjoy the polished product, so don't complain. You're going to love it! :rainbowkiss:

TL;DR Adventure, Romance, Human with Lyra, Bon Bon and Rainbow Dash. Minor and mostly indirect roles for Lightning Dust, Princess Twilight and Scootaloo. Mostly Lyra and Bon Bon romance, but some long-distance TwiDash. Takes place a bit after Season 3 where Dash has completed her official training and become a Wonderbolt.

This is the plan at least. Details may change a bit, but I've got a solid outline to work with AND I managed to combine a grand total of three or four different story ideas into one, saving myself from having to write them all separately.

Am I Awesome, or am I Awesome? :rainbowdetermined2:

Yes, you are indeed awesome. Considering how much I loved II, this sounds like it could well be epic.

So it's Romancing the Stone with Dash played by Danny DeVito?

I aim to make it so :rainbowdetermined2:

1054841
The Stone?

1054852
Romancing the Stone and Jewel of the Nile. 2 older but fantastic adventure/romance movies.

1054925
Ah. I might have to watch those, although I can't say I watch a lot of movies lately

Hm... I see words, but I want ACTION! :twilightangry2: (Reading action, specifically. :twilightsmile:)

You want me to read more? :rainbowwild:

My next priority is to get the next chapter of Stitch finished, which hopefully will be soon

1056123 No, I want to see how this dramatic foretelling comes to fruition! :rainbowdetermined2: (In chapter one. :rainbowkiss:)

1056266
Hehe, I know. Don't worry, I'm working on it and hopefully will begin writing the first chapter soon :twilightsmile:

1056268 Hurray! (Hurray for Stitch, too!)
