Updates and Other Story Plans · 7:09pm May 8th, 2013
Hello, everyone, how are you all?
Firstly, I would just like to say that I was blown away by the positive response the first chapter of ‘Last of the Dragonlords: A Good Mare Goes To War’ was given. When I started the story, I was plagued by doubts on whether or not this is a good idea, and that I should just cancel the plan and leave it as a single story.
But when I put it on here, and saw how many of you loved it, like it, faved it, I knew I had to continue it, for better or worse. So I shall go ahead with it.
Here’s an update on the chapters thus far:
Chapter 1: completed and online.
Chapter 2: completed and online.
Chapter 3: was known formerly as Chapter 2: part two but decided to have it as a single chapter. This one is basically finished, but I want to go over some of the conversations a bit more to make them a bit more believable in that they really think they have been betrayed (except for Fluttershy). Just needs an edit and pre-read, then it should be online.
Chapter 4: Done, but again needs a bit of work on some of it.
Chapter 5: Done, but I have a feeling something is missing from it. For one it is the shortest of the finished chapters (just under 10,000 words), yet it feels it needs something else, yet I can’t put my finger on it.
Chapter 6: This one is the longest at about 20,000 words, and needs a hell of a lot of work done to make it look presentable.
Chapter 7: Working on it.
The rest I’m thinking on, but it’s gonna be a big one, that’s for sure (it’s already halfway to becoming a novel).
Thank you to all of you, who have favoured and followed this story, and I hope you’ll enjoy it as it all comes together.
‘An Expression Of Love’ is going quite well; chapter 9 is halfway to completion, and chapter 10 and 11 have been started and worked on.
Now for something completely different.
I was asked earlier if I was going to do something that focused on another character. After a while and of long thought I came up with two story ideas:
The first is about Twilight. Now that she is a Princess, she has less time to do her own thing. Now, she has a day off, and decides to take that day to read a book on a cloud. Unfortunately for her, however, her friends have other plans for her. A simple slice-of-life story that came to me suddenly.
The second is about Rarity and Applejack, called, ‘Mare on a Silver Mountain.’ Rarity learns about a mountain that is supposedly made of silver, and wants to go there to use the silver as part of a new dress she is making. Applejack fears she’s growing too greedy, and decides to tag along with her. A short adventure story with absolutely no romance whatever.
I might do other stories based on the rest of the mane six, but I haven’t thought of them yet.
Now, to Equestria Girls. To be honest, I have been trying really hard to see it with a fresh face and think it’s going to be brilliant, but then the synopsis came out.
To be honest as well, I want it to be good, just so I can say:
“Didn’t I tell you that it would be rubbish? That it would be an average girl show full of boyfriends and such? That it would have no place amongst us?”
That is all. Hope you are all doing well, and having a good week.
A good day so far(9:30PM), thank you. From the general tone of your blog I can say it's similar for you as well. Good.
Glad to see more chapters of either story are in the making. And rest assured, I will read anything you write. Also, I have quite a feeling that I will enjoy it. So if you feel like it, write it. Both of these premises sound good and I shall eagerly await them. And as of yet unknown stories too. Just don't bury yourself in too much work.
I decided to not have any comments about Equestria Girls up to the point I see it. So I got nothing to say on the matter. We shall see when it's done.
Have a good rest of the day!
1063413 Thank you, and yes it has been relatively a good one. I'm not sure about the RariJack one, but I've definetely started writing 'A Day to be Normal' as its called so far. Its alternative title is 'Twilight wants to read a book'.
I will try not too work myself over the limt, as I have other factors in real life to think about.
Good that you have an open mind on Equestria Girls. I'm trying to look at it with an open mind, but it's hard for me.
And you, my friend.
Great ideas! I like them!
Hey! How about another one with a totally unknown character of the show?
I would offer the elderly pegasus mare from the sonic rainboom episode and I shall call her Cloud Stich.
Don't mind me. My brain was just thirsty and needed a sip of carrot juice.

i know how you feel about equestria girls. that synopsis is making this really hard.
1064026 Oh the one from the factory... um, maybe when I'm better at writing characters.
1064536 I know, I just hope they release footage of it soon so I could know what it actually looks like, and voiced ('cause I heard Tabitha St Germaine didn't even know about this, so I assume she is either telling the truth and not voicing this, or she is trolling).
1065249
Man! When you get any better at it, you should start up your own TV show!
Dragon
1068041 That would be nice to write or produce for a show. Better yet, write a story for MLP:FIM.
I would like someone to start making a series based on the 'Wheel Of Time' books, or Eragon, for Game of Thrones has proved it can be done right.

Good idea. But as I said, you are awesome and you can make every character believeable. I bet you could make Twilight fall in love with a chimney and that without magical love potion!!!!
Dragon

That's so random... I've heard worse pairings. Thanks for the faith.

That's not faith. It's pure conviction!

I'd say stick to Fluttershy. So few people do a good Fluttershy out there that it is not funny. I mean just how many epic stories have her as the main character?
1114561 I can't think of many, and even when they are putting Fluttershy as a main character, they never really centre on her for long. I do want to work on other characters as well, though, but the Dragonlord series has priority, as well as An Expression Of Love.

I mean I have myself toyed with the idea of Fluttershy in a starring role. The combination I have considered is Fluttershy and Zecora.
1114672 Ooo, that sounds good. Don't ever see those two together. Any idea what it would be about?

Replied in private, as it is one of about 7 or 8 story ideas I have in my tank.
