Eyes in the Dark


I'm a writer but not normally of FanFic and I'm a certified rescue diver. Hunting and camping are among my favorite past-times while 4x4ing and rock climbing are more current.

    ...In review

    Firstly, allow me to say thanks to everyone who has been beating down my figurative door asking... demanding- darn near pleading with me to get my ass-embly in gear and post another chapter of Semper Paratus. Ta-da! No, it's not posted yet so don't go looking. It's on the editor table currently and will be viewable post haste.

    The next big thing

    Unfortunately due to circumstances beyond (and within) my control, the next chapter is delayed slightly. I have been writing it but I've found myself writing two chapters in tandem this time. Had I been focused on only one, it would have been done by now- but my outline has changed because of some reader input. I took the advice of a non-FiM reader to alter a part in a future chapter and it must

    Oh really?

    Yep, after some debate and re-writes on the "Semper Paratus" story outline (that isn't published yet) I decided to add the tag "Pony on earth" to the story. Say what?!

    I probably jumped the gun on adding that tag but I think the readers will be pleased with the intended twists that justify said tag.

    Edits are tuff!

    Finally! The long awaited chapter 4 involving one spirit of chaos, the 'mane 6' and human is complete. Good grief this chapter ran long and I had to spend nearly an entire DAY just trying to end the darn thing. I'd get within a couple sentences and think I was done- aannnnddd, nope. Another couple pages later...

    Pressing buttons

    I realized something this past weekend as I wrote/read a little, I never put "Semper Paratus" up in the HiE group. I'm sitting here wondering if I should do it or not... I'm guessing that will mean a wider audience will actually see the story since now its just floating in limbo FiM space. Hmm, I think I'll do one more solid edit/review of the published chapters before hitting 'that' button.

Discord's dyslexic debacle · 2:15am Sep 24th, 2013

So what I 'thought' was going to be a super easy chapter to write when I introduced Discord has turned out to be as challenging as those chapters involving a certain rhyming zebra! Trying to keep Discord's interactions fresh and believeable has been a nightmare. I'd get stuck working a scene and notice it didn't feel natural at all, scrap it and save the outline, and try again. Almost wrote in Rainbow getting into a fight but ended up deleting it because it wouldn't have flowed very well later on in the story.

Also, some parts got chopped and modified because the dialouge was heavy and needed some narration instead. I think it's going to work out OK but it might take a while longer to complete due to edits. Some parts might be fairly funny but remember this wasn't written with the idea of being a comedy...
