This blog is best played with this music:
Ok, so after ten days of much thought, contemplation and deep wonderment I have finally come to a conclusion. In a sense, writing a story is like building a custom personal computer. Which, is pretty much what I've been doing lately. You see, as of the start of next year I am going to be a graphic design student and will need a pretty high-end PC to run all the programs and software I'll be using. Not only that, but I am also a gamer and I like my games to look nice. So, it is a fact that this little project of mine is going to be quite expensive and therefore, put me a little out of pocket for awhile.
Which is fine, I plan to study for the next two and quite possibly three years. I've just heard that in order to be respected in an IT workplace I'm going to need more than just a Diploma. A cute little thing like me ain't going to be seen as an equal to all the men who earn their respect simply by being born male. So it seems that I will need to go beyond a TAFE qualification.
That's right.
Not only is it a dream of mine, it's necessary. In two years I will be studying at university and hopefully, with a Bachelor's Degree, I can earn enough money and also respect to be recognized as a very qualified young individual indeed.
So what's all this got to do with my story? Well, over the last year my dreams of writing have become more a hobby than a passionate, love affair. But that's ok, I'll still be writing my fanfiction. I actually think having a proper PC will make that a bit easier. Whether or not I will have time to write is another matter entirely.
But that's not why you're here. You're here to know the fate of Spitfire and Soarin and their little adventure. Or at least, know what changes will be made to better suit its valor and place in the fanficition community. Now, on with the show!
As for Pie In the Sky, I've decided to rewrite the ending and cut out the part of the story with Rainbow Dash in it. That will take place in the separate story. Where you may ask? I haven't the faintest idea.
But as for Tarnish, that will be solely about Rainbow Dash and nothing else. How I will go about explaining everything is my problem, you guys get the story at least.
Finally, they will remain two separate stories. I plan to follow what Bassie has said, which really is quite simple and yet remains true to the overall tone and feel of Pie In the Sky.
It would take a lot of editing and revising to get this into EQD, based on his review, but the fix to get it on Nonpareil fiction is simple. I suggest keeping with the original tone of the story. Let that particular trip to the diner be pleasant and uninterrupted.
When you begin writing Tarnished, you can start off with a few paragraphs about how going to the diner has become a regular occurrence for the twosome, and you can have them arrive there once more. Spitfire can then feel as if she's being watched and discover Rainbow Dash, thus tying Pie in the Sky to Tarnished without leaving unresolved conflict at the end of an otherwise external conflict free story
I think he had the best idea, while my editor seems to agree and it would help me get this story into Nonpareil fiction at least. Even if it wasn't accepted by Equestria Daily like I hoped it would.
So that's what's happening to the story. Regardless of what you all think now, that's the plan. As for what I thought of the newest episode? Well...
I'm glad to know I could be of assistance.
Until this blog post, I had no idea you were a woman, nor did I care, but you go girl!
Live your dreams!

Well actually, I don't consider myself a true woman until I turn eighteen. Which is two years from now, but thanks for the encouragement.
3389466 My bad. You were talkin' college, so I assumed you were an adult. In any case, you don't want to be an adult. Adults are rubbish.
Adulthood has ruined me.

Dude, I'm like sixteen. How old did you think I was?
Like 18.

I wish!
3389732 Lol. No, you really don't. Like I said, adulthood sucks. I'm 21, and I feel 40. Life becomes so much more taxing after high school.
