Leaving the Fanfiction Buzinezz · 3:23am Jul 7th, 2014
Not too many people are going to "get feels" from this. Oh well!
Anyways, as the title says, I'm leaving the fanfic business. Why? Because the ideas stopped coming. I found myself incapable of forming stories anymore. It started out fun, but became a burden on my mind as I felt like I always had to have a new idea. Not anymore, seeing as they quit knocking. Sure, I get a real good idea every now and then, but I can never satisfy my hopes for it through writing. But for those of you that actually liked my work (however few there were), I'm not going away forever. I'll be gone for a bit while I practice, but I've found another medium.
I've grown fond of Photoshop art. I've made multiple small pieces and got only good reviews. Then one day, while in class, I drew something fantastic. All my friends, even the ones that weren't bronies, crowded around and praised me. That's the day that I realized I'm more capable of putting ideas into images than I am in putting them in writing. Since that day, I've been working on my skills in Photoshop and preparing together a big piece. It'll be my debut art project, one that I'll reveal on Equestria Daily or something like that when I'm ready. I've still got a lot of practice to do, but I've studied the art forms of various artists that are popular in the community and created my own form through it.
One of the biggest differences in my drawings will be the tone. Where my stories were sad, and often dark, my drawings will be bright and happy. Take my debut picture for example; it's a picture of Twilight standing over the clouds, watching the sun rise. Words can't describe it properly.
Oh, and to answer the question that might arise; I MIGHT consider drawing clop. However, I'm living with family and there are young kids present. If the day ever comes that I do consider it, It'll be very unlikely that anything ever gets finished. But rest assured that I'll try if it ever gets to a point that it is wanted.
For any friends of mine that still wonder if I'm still active, I'm here bros. I can't actively come on the internet, as I'm in the middle of nowhere and have to rely on nutty internet to get me through. But it's enough to jump on every once in a while, though I won't be coming back to fimfiction. But when the day comes that I'm ready to submit my work, I will be found on DeviantArt and possibly Equestria Daily, should I be had.
And Regidar, if you're still kicking and not dead from cereal or some crazy shit, stay awesome.
EDIT: And by the way, all of my work will be under the name of GhostofSandwich, stylized as GHosT (the os standing for Of Sandwich). What? I'm proud of that little accidental forming of words.
K.
Well glad you found a new way to express your feelings through Photoshop art. And I'd also like to thank you for helping me through inspiring me to write my own fics (does that make sense... probably not.). I remember my first goal on this site after reading your fics was to surpass you, surpass Regidar and everyone else. (Won't happen but it's a neat little goal.) Seeing that I was able to reach my first goal, I must thank you for helping me achieve it. By entertaining me and everyone else.
Godspeed you magnificent bastard!
2263544 No problemo, bro. Keep on keeping on! On, and I forgot to mention, but any work I produce will be under GhostofSandwich, stylized as GHosT. (the os standing for Of Sandwich) So be on the lookout for that.
Kudos for realizing this isn't working for you anymore. Hope you're not gonna tear your stuff down though.
2263555 Naw, everything is staying. However, I realize that Twilight to Darkness is still waiting for a finale. And so is another story, but that one won't be named, nor finished... Maybe one day I'll come back and finish it.
I could never dream of taking anything down.
Damn man, you were my first true fan in the fanfic business
I'm sad to see you go
May you carry the light upon your back in the future of your art
Huh... that happened. Sorry to see you go. Thanks for all the help and support you gave me when I started out. Maybe one of these days I'll finally get featured or something. Anyways, keep doing what you're doing and maybe we'll meet again on the flipside.
Continue being brilliant, my friend.
I know I'll be missing you...
And I'm not the only one...
