    That She-Ra Fanfic is Published

    Chapter one and the prologue are out. Chapter two is written. Chapter three is being written. If you want to see Catra be She-ra and a much more emotionally damaged She-ra at that, maybe click the link: https://archiveofourown.org/users/Distaff_Pope/works

    Non pony fanfics

    So, despite saying I wanted to write original work, I realized I still love writing fanfiction. I'm also pretty solidly out of pony fanfics beyond an unsettled itch to get back into Sweetie Belle's head. Luckily, other shows exist with other damaged girls with undiagnosed Borderline Personality Disorder. What I'm saying is, I'm dabbling with a She-ra fanfic where Catara becomes She-ra and was

    Adapted Out

    Ok, so by now, I think I've gone through enough stories to talk about things from the source material that aren't going to be a factor. Most of the reasons why they're omitted should be kind of obvious, but I want to run through them anyway. Note: I love all the things I'm about to talk about, and it hurts me to not include them, but they're not best for this story. I'm just explaining my

    "Marked for Evil" is now "We Killed the Dinosaurs"

    Just a quick PSA. I've changed the title for my current story because Marked for Evil just seemed so angsty. We Killed the Dinosaurs seems less so, in contrast, and I think speaks to the heart of the work more. I'm also debating changing cover art to show the meteor hitting earth and dinosaurs looking on moments before their doom, but I want feedback on that first.

    A Little Rewrite

    So, someone pointed out to me yesterday that they had some issues with the magic camera. The first being how easily Sunset rolled with it once she got photographed, and also how convenient the camera was. In light of that, I rewrote a bit of chapter three and a good bit chapter four. So you don't all have to reread the chapters to see the changes, I'm posting the major changes here. The first is

The Orchestra has been eclipsed by Shadow. Also, 100 followers. · 1:51am Sep 4th, 2014

So today's been a pretty cool day. I finally broke 100 followers, I got my first story featured on Equestria Daily, and as of the time of this writing, the story I wrote over the course of two days now has one more like than the story I spent a year on. I figure all of this is cause for celebration, and so I thought I would share some insight in to what I'm working on. Right now, there are three projects in the fire.

1.) Princess Luna's Academy: I currently have about 40,000 words of it being edited, and once I know it's solid, well-written, and structurally sound, I will release one or two chapters. This will be my next update, and I hope you all enjoy the light slice-of-life comedy with just a dash of romance thrown in.

2.) Shadow Sequel: I've been toying around with the idea for a sequel for a while now, and I'm starting to put it together. I might know more in the next two days, but this is almost certainly what I'll be working on for the next while.

3.) Outlining an adventure: I want to keep this project tightly under wraps since it's a surprise, and I'm still drafting out the beats. I've got most of the main plot points in my head, so now I just need to turn it into a fully fleshed out story and start writing it.

I'm also currently trying to find someone to help me with future cover art, but I'm really not sure how to go about such things, so if anyone has advice or suggestions, that would be incredibly helpful.

There's also another Octavia sequel I want to work on, but work on it almost certainly won't resume until the rough draft of the Shadow Sequel is finished. Hopefully you enjoy the continuing adventures of Silent Shadow Moon Gazer. Thanks for sticking with me so far and I hope you enjoy the rest of the ride.

Sounds good! Shame I won't be able to read any of these new ones until I've finished eating through your older stuff. :fluttercry:

2426136 I... I don't apologize for some of my earlier stuff, but my writing has improved dramatically over the last year or so (so sorry if some of the earlier stuff isn't as good).

2426195 I found it really interesting, honestly. Though I'd like to know if you've got people proof reading your work, as I've noticed that there's consistent grammar issues between the newer and older stories.

It doesn't deduct from the overall quality of anything you've made, but it can confuse one from time to time. :twilightsmile:

2.) Shadow Sequel: I've been toying around with the idea for a sequel for a while now, and I'm starting to put it together. I might know more in the next two days, but this is almost certainly what I'll be working on for the next while.

...YES!!!!!!!!!:pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy:

2426209 I do have a proofreader now, and he's quite good. The main reason it takes so long for me to post now is because I always wait for him to go through it. He catches like... a hundred little details every time.
