Ah, rolling, I guess.

On a small and good roll. But a great one. I guess playing games and not stress while being unconventional at will helps. Really.

Would've slept 6 hours ago, environment premitted, had I not started a roll of ideas. (P.S. sleepy typos, I'll leave them)

I'm using a spreadsheet app to spread out my small snippets yet put them on computer. Also for character reference logging. Story is giant, after all.

And now, I have it all fitting in the global perspective. Nicely.

Also got it for general theme, atleast. Still dark, but dark in bitten back, probably no gore, hopefully? Or maybe not. Heh.

But the dark is mainly cut out. There'll be massacres, but they roll in the background. None of my protags are the type to killing themselves, really. And while they do, none are the sort that'd ever kill a hundred goons. It's boring to write those, when they even exist. My protags have better to do then count the dead in battles they didn't want to admire. So it all rolls, even if everypony dies, it need not be written dark.

Never seen 100% dark chocolate, anyways. Lots of sweet moments. Getting lots of characterization, and focus will be more on that than, "oh look how I enacted my moment of death". Altough some will die by how they live, some by last minute choice, maybe. Atleast one died willing amongst the sorta main. Too bad; he would've become a main charcater. Well, they'll sometimes die, maybe. The supporting main are many.

I don't know if I'll ever post it/they stories. But it's getting fun to write. Lots of small things/characters to play with that'll not be mentioned twice. Unique things, or ponies that live in a place passed by. That sort.

Lots of potential with explainable things that won't be excessively explained. Like that part I think of maybe adding within the cloud wars story. Rebellion. Which is a big third or fourth of the whole so far intended. The part would be they find a cloud city ravaged, no friend or foe, but some struggling survivors. They don't have ships, and are isolated and not-well fed. Likely to starve stranded. Wouldn't mention why flying away to barely reachable cities in times of war ain't an attractive go-lucky choice. Even if they aren't shot or refused, they could just fall to the ocean. But taking in random civilians when half-low on rations, without nearby supplies to look too? Yeah, I like to focus on slice of life, without being in-depth.

Well, atleast I can write a long story that fits that I like to re-read. So far. Just needed less dark. I don't like my closed ends to focus on the dark parts. Bingo.

Ah, that gryphon, part, I like. Soo much. Worth a short story, but fits well. Eh, it's too good to just resume, but maybe I'll look about feedback, as I'll write it within these days. Hmmph. Or not not, idea makes me nervous, even with my lack of sleep... caution, eh? But I like my stories nice, both complex and simple. Both the captain and the gryphon showed much backhanded play. But the captain succeeded in making profit of the fact that the gryph hunted live chickens without permission on her ship, gained in repute, and simultaneously gained unbuyable information on the teamwork and behavior of her crew, whilst they hunted the griffon for her. Rations are worth so much sometimes, right? Anyhow. Not giving the full of it, but yeah. It works with the full story well, as the capt did capture a ship with a fresh crew she didn't know and, yadda yadda. Stupid gryphon merc, and her.. yeah. Heh. The chickens are actually necessary.
