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.

Other story news- I've found that voice recording animated scenes for the chapters has really helped me relay a specific feeling at the time when I don't have a memo pad and pen handy. I can be riding my bicycle and talking through a scene and save it on my phone to type out later. Great idea! Unless those you pass by look at you as if you are crazy for talking to yourself...

At least I'm not the only one who talks to themselves. I'm interested to see where you go with this new tag. Guess I'll have to wait and find out.

Ya know, at first I really wanted to keep things Equestria bound, but the more I thought about it- the more it started to make sense. The question of "who" makes the "Pony on Earth" tag work makes me chuckle. Will readers see this coming? Or will it be an 'egg hunt'? All my eggs are painted camo if anyone is wondering... :pinkiehappy:

1458388 I like camo. I was thinking you would make the story somewhat short considering the main character (who's name escapes my mind, plus I'm too lazy to click the mouse a few times to find out) is only supposed to be on 'vacation' for a week. I assume that the new tag will also somewhat extend the story.

You are right Blaze, the story will conclude in seven "story days"... what I'm toying with is whether or not to cliff-hang the crap out of it and make it two stories OR end the original outline and tack on a few extra chapters at the end so the readers aren't chewing on their keyboards wondering what happened. Hehe.

The new tag was an after thought of how to end the story, or does it end there? (can't give that away! :rainbowhuh: )

Depending on the mood I'd be in while ending it, I'd cliff hang the hell out of it just to see how pissed off people would get. That would be my immature side.

What would without a bout happen in the end: My more mature side would take over right at the end and I'd 'see the errors in my ways' and I'd get confuzzled (that's right) and everything would go to shit. Yes, I said confuzzled. Yes, I'm rambling. Why? Why would you assume I would know? I don't know. Am I going crazy? I think I'm going crazy.:pinkiecrazy: Imma go sit in a corner and think about my life.
