Schedule Update! · 4:22am Oct 11th, 2011
Hi there everyone, it's Fire Soul here with a quick update on how things are going with Chapter 3, and a couple of other things I'm going to be adding to this project to both make things easier on myself, and to give you all a little bonus flavor to the material you're already apparently enjoying quite a bit.
First off, the main purpose of this update: the schedule I've decided upon. I'm going to be sticking with a schedule of 'at least once a week'. I will have one chapter done per week, that much I can promise because there's no reason for me not to, I'm a good writer, I always have been, and I'm very passionate about this project. Outside of sudden illness and family matters getting in the way, I have no reason not to be able to manage a once-a-week schedule. As it stands, I have until the 16th to get Chapter 3 done before I'm 'behind schedule', so that you all know exactly where we're at with the storyline.
Second update, I have finally decided to use a secondary writing subject to use as a basis for all of the stories I may write. This secondary, smaller project, is actually going to be something called 'History of Equestria'. I'm pretty sure the title of the project is self-explanatory. A lot of the updates will actually be useful in understanding what certain things are, and what exactly is happening between characters during unusual activities over the course of 'Taming the Rage'. However, I will try to make sure that History of Equestria is only used to add some extra 'flavor' to Taming the Rage, so that I can still say that Taming the Rage is a good story that stands tall on its own.
There WAS something else I wanted to touch on with this blog post, but I think it basically boils down to this: there ARE going to be sexual themes in my story, eventually. However, I don't want to be known for writing clopfics, even if I am perfectly capable of doing so, so don't bother asking me to write some kind of separate, 'uncensored' version of Taming the Rage with all sex scenes included. All anyone is going to get is obvious indications that sex has happened at most, and it being the subject of before or after-coitus conversations here and there. I'm aiming for realism in interactions, so the conversation for such things is plenty believable, but the sex alone has no bearing on the storyline itself aside from establishing obviously stronger bonds between certain ponies, so going into detail about everything that happens during it isn't necessary for this story to be as good as it's intended to be.
That's all for now, everyone! I hope you'll all be patient for a little while longer, I'm getting close to finishing Chapter 3, so just give it some time and you'll have some steady updates! After this one, I might even break past this multi-character trouble I'm having with Chapter 3 and get Chapter 4 out much more smoothly. Here's to hoping!
I understand your reasoning & support it entirely. Looking forward to new chapter & new story, the History should be interesting to see peoples interpretation
