Progress Report #1 · 9:52am Apr 8th, 2012
Alright, although I said I might be doing some short stories before going onto the big story I was thinking of, I've decided to go straight into the the big story. This is so that I have more time to develop the plot, storyline, character development and so forth. I've even gone through making visual representations of the new characters that will be involved (I've tried to keep the new character count low, as trying to remember every new character in every new fic can be cumbersome) using generalzoi's pony creator. The characters, and their cuties marks, despite being somewhat clipart images (haha I'm so lazy >.>), have pretty much been done. I'm not any gift to art but I'll be trying to make some concept art about the story, nothing too serious.
For now, what I will say is this story will have some kind of organization and it features a coat of arms, which I've managed to sketch and I have to say I surprised myself by how well it turned out, especially it's only for a fanfic :D This will all be released when the first Chapter is done, which will probably be another month or so, maybe more - it's my last few months at uni so I should really be focusing more on that. I'll be looking for a pre-reader myself too! All I' can say up till now is that the story will be a 1st person account and the chapters will be several thousand words long (aiming for at least 5,000 - 7,000, if not, more).
