Description · 1:56am Jul 22nd, 2014
UPDATE: I know this is going to sound stupid, and it is, but I'll be brief. But despite this, please continue to read on for context. I have a possible potential description for you all who wants one. Reason why it isn't up front and center is because there are problems in doing that that I don't want to talk about and I am not sure if this is good enough or that I have earned it yet. But no body has given me any feedback on it so I'm still weighing my options for now. Until I make a final decision, here is a description for the story. I might as well use it somewhere. Call me what you want, I don't care, but this is my decision alone. Anyways have a good day, a good night, and may you be in good health. ALSO HAPPY 10TH ANNIVERSARY TO UNIVERSAL MAGIC!:
Long: This is a story about a human named Knight who is sent to a town called Stalia; across from Ponyville on the other side of the Everfree. There he meets his friends: Neon Party, Forrest Fire, Classy Jack, Mac Farmer, and Arrell; along with his best bud that is a talking timber wolf, Wolf. These are his journal entries of his adventures and episodes through Stalia, Equestria, time, space, and the many many many universes...
"This is a work of fucking art, it really is. It's like watching a mentally retarded schizophrenic vomit out his brain and turn it into internet horsie words. This is, like, Time Cube level." ~ wlam
Short: This is a story about The Elements of Protection, a group that lives in the shadow of the Elements of Harmony...
So, what's the story all about you may ask? I'm not telling you. I'm just going to let you figure that on your own what it is and your interpretations. Of course I have my reasons, but long explanation short, it's kind of complicated. And besides, there's a bright side to that, you could be surprised, or maybe not. Really, read if you give a fuck. And if you don't, leave your dislike like everyone else does and have a nice day, I wish you the best in life. And if you do give a fuck, then I hope you enjoy it for whatever reason.
And if not, then leave your common dislike, a constructive or not at all constructive comment of what I did wrong and blah blah blah, you get the picture. (Although to many leave comments so that part doesn't really matter) Just do whatever the fuck you want, I don't care. I'm just here to tell a story and that is all. I do not care who listens. I shall tell a tale no matter what. Even if all of you hated it, I don't care. So do what you want, all I ask for you whatever you do for this story is to just let me be. I don't want to cause any trouble. I don't go looking for trouble. I just want to tell a story is all. And if you want to come along with me for the ride, then enjoy it. If not, then be on your way. But, you get the idea.
Also if you hated this description, well I'm not going to argue with you. Leave a dislike if you wish, doesn't matter to me, shit won't change.
So there is your explanation, however down below is a link to the entire outline to the story you are about to read to every detail, planned ideas, secrets and whatever else there is to it. Now why did I put that there you may ask? Why not?
It is also there to keep up with the changes I constantly do for the future of the story, like changing an episode, or switching episode places, or adding plot details to other episodes and it does get updated as well. And like no shit, it contains spoilers. Just in case somebody didn't get the idea.
And one last thing, I know it may seem to some that I'm being rude with what I'm saying and not being professional about it all, but really, do you think I care? I've been writing for this story for the past 7 years as of writing this. Do you really think that I care at this point? Like I said, I just want to tell a story. Simple as that. And like I said, whatever you decide to do, either leave a like or dislike, leave a comment, put it in your favorites, bookshelf, whatever. Have fun with it and keep an open mind.

2305393 then turn down your brightness
not alone buddy
Well, you're a bit of a prick. I would like to know if this story atleast contains the humans becoming ponies or whatnot before giving up at chapter 8.
Hugs for da sad man
ok really? nobody cares that you had problems because no one ran up and asked if you needed help..... there are forums for that don't just expect people to wait on you like your god and we are all your servants you need to ask for help if you want it you self-righteous self-important jerk.
2305393
There I made it better...
4251739
It possibly don't matter now...you either gave it a dislike because I said nothing, because you gave the story a try and thought it was shit, or because you think I'm a prick...which either way is fine with me..but I do feel that it was rude for not responding to you...in which case I apologize...long and retarded story why I didn't respond...but to answer your long awaited question:...
Yeah that turn into ponies...
2617022
What?...
4412038
Wow you're a prick....ok maybe not since you don't know what goes behind the scenes but to expand on what you're saying to me...
You really didn't think I didn't try? You think I'm an idiot? I've tried so many times to get editors and proof readers and shit...but either I was rejected, no one respond to me, or it would be too much for them to edit. I would love to have a fucking editor, to have some help...but no one did... I'm on my own... So I'll keep moving forward and stand by this story though the thick and thin. And yes nobody does care. Just look at the likes to dislike ratio. 62-81...and some of those people who left likes are long gone by now...so that makes it even worse... No body cares...hell that's what I was told when some of them rejected me...but whatever...I'm on my own now...a one man band...a one man army...whatever you want to call it...
And no I'm not God. I never said I was...nor did I ever imply that... Hell I think of myself like low-hanging fruit. Like at the bottom of a barrel. A burden sometimes on others...
3599710
ok...
2617022
ok...but what does it mean?... Is it...that it represents life? The beginning of it...the birth...then the second dot is the middle which represents a mid-life crises...and then the last dot represents old age and death? Or does it perhaps represents religion. The first dot is hell, the second dot is between heaven and hell...while the last dot represents heaven. Or perhaps it's vice versa... Does it represents the sides of a triangle? Perhaps Half-Life 3? What does it mean? The better question though...What could it mean?...

Wow, 3 years for a comment
4824652
I know...I'm surprised you finally replied...I was expecting sooner...
4824714
Well I do have a life outside of Fimfiction. Plus I rewrote most of my stories.
4825933
I understand.re-writes can be a bitch sometimes...I remember rewriting Episode 2 for Universal Magic...took me several months to do it...and Episode 1 had to be re-written...twice...and Episode 3 had to be done in two separate parts...and I don't want to even go into the plans for Episode 5...

grammar checking.
I could proofread for typos, but I’m afraid I’m weak on grammar checking. I’m good enough to do that in comics, but not stories like this, so to reiterate. Spell checking
4952809
Wait...so you're saying you're offering to proofread the story for grammar errors? If so..well damn...didn't expect that...but if so...then I would respectively decline the offer. Mostly I don't think you're up to the task. I mean...it's so far over 800,000 words at this point and it's a lot to take in and I wouldn't want to overwhelm someone with that kind of work . Not that I wouldn't want help, like I said, I do want it...but at the same time I wouldn't want to burden someone with the task like this unless they were really prepared for it. In which case I'm not sure if you are...
Not only that, but I'm not sure if you're going to stick around. I actually did have an editor once for another story that I did back in 2013, he helped out for like the first three chapters but he ended bailing on me. He said he had family problems but promised he would come back, so I was like, 'Oh that's fine...I understand. I'll be here when you come back..." He never came back...granted if he did I'll still be waiting for him but I don't think that's going to happen...
I mean that's what happens on this site. I've met a lot of people on here that come and go and I never hear from them again. One of them being a good friend on here I used to chat with a lot.
Not only that but I'm not sure if this is the kind of story you wouldn't mind working on. Because...according to some people that have read it...it's a lot of weird and fucked up stuff....and if you have an issue with that, obviously I don't want you to be bothered by it if you know what I'm saying.
So unless you really are up for it, I'm going to decline...but thanks for the offer though. Like I said, it would be helpful, but by this point and thinking it over some more, I don't know if I can find someone to help me with this story...you know?... Especially with me and everything,, I haven't posted an Episode since august 2017, although I do plan on releasing a prologue this coming Christmas Eve, but that's a big time gap if you know what I mean...
Although I do have an idea in mind if you're interested in it...
Basically saying I'm working on a Universal Magic Halloween Special short on the expansion story. it's not going to be long or complicated, but I'm not sure though because the deadline is Halloween night and I'm not done with the writing process yet...and I'm not sure how much time you have on your hands and everything. I mean all you would need to do is just to proofread it and double check to make sure everything is spelled right. As far grammar issues go, I'll try and worry about that myself. I just need to make sure everything is spelled right or there's a period at the end of a sentence or something simple like that because sometimes when I proofread, somethings slip through the cracks if you know what I'm saying...especially when you add lack of sleep to the mix...
4952854
No. Guess I didn’t make it as clear as I thoight I did. I’m good at proofreading for spelling errors. Not grammar. I can go through it and find all the typos for you and correct them if you want and maybe correct a few grammar mistakes, but I don’t know enough about creative writing to correct all grammar issues. Like for example those em dash things.
As for time I have all the time in the world. I don’t work and have no social life. I basically just watch TV and play vid games while I’m awake and sleep. That’s it. I have no life, so I like to help out when I can. Ever hear of Magical Loyalty? I was a spell checker on that project. I also spent some time working on the Pun Pony team. Which basically invlolved helping to keep track of what artists worked on which scripts.
4953213
oh ok...my bad... Uhhhh...yeah...sure...I guess...you can try...
Also, oh look, we have something in common...I have no social life either...and whenever I have free time...I'm either writing or playing the vi games...although I do have work to do on the downside.
And I had to look up Magical Loyalty...I get what you're saying now...
4953336
Incidentally that’s my number one OTP.
So, you got a gdoc link or something, so I can get started spellchecking?
4953355
I write this stuff on Microsoft Word 2007, but I'll copy and Paste it on a gdoc. It'll take sometime because the document that I have is filled with notes and shit, so it's a bit of a mess when someone else looks at it. But I'm going to go to sleep now for a bit. I'll PM the link to you sometime during the middle of the night, I'm a night owl...just need to lay down for a bit...Do you want all the episodes that are out now or you want an episode at a time?...
4953369
One at a time. Also that’s another thing we have in common. I’m generally awake 20+ hours a day.
You don't give two fucks???
Well... can I get that one fuck then before I begin reading?
Ah fuck. Who cares I'll probably start reading as soon as I post this comments so it doesn't really matter.
5263366
Yeah...I need to update that. I come off to aggressive with that. Seemed fine 3...4 years ago...but now I feel like it's too aggressive...
5263961
Eh, not sure about others but I found it a funny change of pace from other stories. Sure this could probably be all summarized in 3 or 5 sentences but hey who wants a short description? Probably a lot of people. Anyways this description was made 6 years ago so I don't think people mind much.
5263993
Well I used to have a short description years ago, but that didn't work out, so this is what I resorted to. Still, I want to make it more...welcoming, I suppose how you would describe what I'm aiming for?...
5264003
Oh, I think I get it.
You want to politely tell them that if they want to know about the story they have to read it and to kindly fuck off if they don't like it because you don't care if they comment/dislike/ect.
Not sure if this is what you're aiming for but it's what I got.
5264058
yeah, that's what I'm aiming for...
You know I've just got to say and I'm not trying to presume how you feel about this now but I get the sense you really wanted to come off as not caring what anyone thought about your story and you were writing for you and then for people who cared about your story and then 6 years later you look back on this and think "Wow what an asshole, who wrote this, I did?!"
Like I said not trying to presume but I'm 22 going on 23 this year and most thoughts and ideas I can think of that I had when I was 18-19 make me cringe and the cancerous, mainstream (which is more like buying into fanon stuff, even the poopy ones.) and plain played out schtick that everyone's done a million times over and then clones those ideas until they were so ridden with defects it made the Hapsburgs look like the pinnacle of human genetics.
5279939
Not sure how to respond to this. So all I'm going to say is you're kind of right, but vice versa. I cared about what people thought in the beginning, although long story short, I didn't do it right. And then years later, slowly over time, I just stopped caring. Although I would be lying if I didn't say there's still a part of me that still cares, but for the most part I give up and I just do my thing.
Although you are right about the part about looking back on old stuff and wonder, "Wow, who wrote this shit?" For example, parts of the description I wish I can make better but can't find the right words for them. Or some of the older Episodes in Universal Magic, where I wonder why did I think this was a good thing. And technically that still haunts me even with the newer ones, where I look back on it a few months later and think how I could have done better.
Like your attitude dude.
5659120
Thanks, I used to have it a bit aggressive like but I've dialed back on that of course. It was longer too so I tried to keep it as short as possible...
In case if anyone asks, I don't care about looking for an editor anymore. I'm way passed that. I'm fine doing it on my now...
