Spoilers and other boorish news · 4:44am Apr 24th, 2012
Working on another short fic, a one-shot. This one should be a suspense thriller. Might be intresting. Will be called Of Parasites. Actually, I need an image for it... If somepony feels like going on a wild goose chase for me, pray tell.
Still on the search for the cure to writer's block. I tried knives... didn't work out so well. Nor did explosives or creeping around at night.
Of Steam Gears and Wings chapter ten is a royal pain in the arse. And chapter eight is coming along on... schedual. (Do I even have one of those?)
This is a little chunk of said chapter (8), just a teaser, you know, to irritate you guys! Tell me what you think!
(Obviously, some names have been... changed)
"NONAME pointed herself upwards and began flying, desperately trying to gain altitude as the planes circled around for another pass. “Come on! Leave me alone,” she begged. The irony of the Imperials using planes she designed to try and kill her wasn’t lost on her as they circled around towards her, firing again and again, illuminating the cloudy sky with green flashes and loud zaps.
Twisting around, she froze in midair as her entire body flipped head over hooves to face the ground, executing a perfect stall turn as the quickly approaching SHIP’s fired at her continuously, their beams getting closer and closer after each shot. NONAME felt a hot, searing, pain against her flank as one of the beams grazed her. “Oh, you want to fight! You’ll get one!” she swore as the three aircraft blazed past her, hitting her once more with a powerful gust of wind.
The three planes curved upwards, slowly turning around to point at the diving mare. Beating her wings as quickly as she could before tucking them unto her sides to form and almost perfect aerodynamic shape were it not for the heavy gun on her back. NONAME flew towards the ground far below, gaining more and more speed until a small cone of wind pressure formed ahead of her. Soon she heard the buzzing of the three right behind her as they tried to follow her quick descent. That’s when she unfurled her wings. Cringing as the pressure against her back nearly ripped her tendons and entire wings off. The sudden deceleration took the pilots by surprise.
The arrowhead formation of the Imperial fighters broke up, as each went in one direction, intent on regrouping and chasing her down once more. She wasn’t going to let them get away with it again. Hovering on the spot she lifted the heavy gun, pressing it against her shoulder and waited. Twisting her head from side to side NONAME picked out one of the planes. The first of the three to turn and face her.
As the plane adjusted her in its sights she too readied her weapon. Aiming down the long barrel of the gun, she placed the crosshairs right in front of the cockpit and waited. The SHIP fired. Bolt after burning bolt blasted past her as she calmly breathed in and out, patiently waiting for the right moment. “May Luna’s will guide my strike,” she whispered.
The moment arrived.
With a twitch, the mare’s hoof pulled on the trigger. The gun echoed out as it dug painfully into her shoulder. The bullet arched forward, slowly, peacefully, spinning through the air before piercing through the SHIP’s glass cabin and wedging itself in between the wide eyes of its pilot.
The plane shook as the dead pilot’s body rammed haphazardly against the controls, spewing blood on every surface with the plane. Not waiting to give the other planes a chance at her, NONAME dropped the heavy gun with contempt and disgust before diving down towards the falling vehicle. Matching its speed and calculating its twisting trajectory. She pulled up alongside the craft and, with a few loud grunts, ripped open the cabin.
Pulling herself into it she gave the now dead pilot a quick ‘I’m sorry’ before detaching him and throwing his body out of the plane. Strapping herself in she looked over the bloodstained controls with a quick, experienced eye.
I am expecting patiently. And for writers block. Sorry man, no idea. I have never had a problem. As of right now I have like ten stories floating around in my head. Another four started right now. Do not start four stories at once. You cannot have a normal life if you do.
I can only imagine who this NONAME might be.... *cough* *cough*
Did I mention you're awesome? Because you pretty much are.
What I am curious about is the ship, you don't divulge the name of it, but the pilot seems to be somebody thats forgettable. Or maybe NONAME just doesn't know who the pilot is... very intrigued, can't wait for the actual chapter! Keep up the great work mate.
Obviously NONAME is
.......
That's all
Sniping someone in their cockpit from midair then stealing their plane is pretty badass.

Just another day on the job for... NONAME!
Something that helps with Writer's Block:
1) Write out a list of random words (25-100 in number)
2) Write a scene based off of each word (the word doesn't necessarily have to be in the scene)
3) ???
4) Writer's Block is gone!
