Dusk Guard Q&A Questions Call! · 7:50pm Jul 17th, 2013
It. Is. Time!
*Cue Maniacal laughter*
There we go. All better. Now, last blog post I suggested doing a Q&A session, which met with positive response, and at the same time a number of questions have started popping up in the comments. So, I'm holding my first Q&A session.
So, the rules: ask as many questions as you like in the comments here. About Rise, The Dusk Guard, or otherwise. I'll answer those of my choosing. If I don't answer a question, well, it's probably spoilerish or something similar. Question asking opens today, and closes this Sunday at midnight. I'll try to get a blog post with my answers up by the time the next chapter update for Rise hits on Tuesday!
So ... ask away! Got a question?
Will "Rise" be the only installment of the dusk guard, and if not, how many will there be?
Your characters are very lifelike and I feel, quite realistic. Any hints or pointers for developing my own? What would you say is the most important thing to keep in mind when writing in general?
Loved the golem by the way. Really threw me for a loop.
About how long does each chapter take you to write? From rough draft to final product.
So, I'll just copy/paste this question over here, as you said you wouldn't mind answering it when I asked in the comments:
Since you've said that there's no limit on questions, here's another:
Do you have any plans for the mane 6 to play a role or cameo in any upcoming chapters? For example, I could see Rarity becoming involved in some manner, thanks to her gem-finding spell.
Can we get some background on sapphire?
1221236 that wouldn't surprise me.
Will the Dusk Guard ever get additional members beyond the, ahem, Original Six? I really think that giving them a ranged combat specialist, ie. some form of sniper, would be a good idea.
