Thoughts anypo-body... Anybody? · 2:44am Jun 2nd, 2012

I find myself at a bit of an impasse. I'm curious as to where I should go next with my writing. Right now I still want to test the waters with Friendship is Magic but I’m not necessarily sure where to go with it, so I’m like to get yall’s opinion.

My first option can actually run a few different ways, expanding the story of Night Wing (Devin Windelbane). I can continue expanding on his relationship with Luna, although I'm not completely sure how I’m going to handle it just yet. I can give a more detailed backstory fleshing out the time from when he left Cloudsdale up to Luna’s return. Or I can drum up some sort of external conflict for him to deal with outside of Canterlot, although now that I think about that one it could tie into his relationship with Luna depending on the nature of the conflict.

Another option would be to try my hand at something more… random, although this would be sort of unfamiliar ground and would maybe consider going into this as a joint project with someone more learned in the field of utter hilarious nonsense. I will entertain the idea of crossovers as long as they're not overdone.

Also, going back to Night Wing for a moment, I’m curious as to whether or not I should continue with the whole first-person thing as it’s still out of my comfort zone. “Her Sword, Shield, and Friend” was the first serious piece I’d written in this format outside of like essays but that’s apples and oranges. At the same time I’m worried about dropping it all together. What I’m considering doing is keeping the first person aspect only for the romance arc and for everything outside of that arc directly such as the backstory and side stories going back to third person. The way it would work is everything outside the arc would be supplementary reading where each piece can stand on it’s on without having read the arc and vise-versa.

So there ya go. That’s what’s on my mind, granted all of this deep thought could just be because I’m wicked exhausted but whatever; I’m a sucker for input. Chip in your two cents quickly. I want to get back to work :)

P.S. The reason "Her Sword, Shield, and Friend" was tagged is I want the opinion of those who faved the story.
