Story Updates! News & Upcoming Stories · 6:34pm Aug 4th, 2012
All right, guys. I've got some bad news and some good news.
As of My Yellow Diary and its "Seven Minutes" ending, I'm at writer's block. This ending is something that I want my readers to be immersed in and get the feeling that they just stepped away from a spiritual experience after being finished reading. But as of now, I'm at a loss at how to pull that off. In addition, my mind is always focusing on other ideas I have, so for now I'm going to step away from finishing "Seven Minutes". Not to worry, though, I'll be back on it soon enough.
The good news, is, I'm currently working on Transcendence. Y'know, the one with Twilight Sparkle in it? That one, as well as Wings for Mother (the Fluttershy story), are considered to be the most prominent stories featuring/psychological surreal horror in them. It's going much more smoothly, though it's more of in the planning stages than anything else. And when I say planning, I mean checking to see if they look good on paper and making any necessary changes. So far, everything is looking good and ready to be converted into chapter format. Can't say I can slap a certain date concerning its release, but I can say that it will be coming out soon. That is, if FIMFiction.Net's response to it is quick.
That being said, onto story updates!
I'm pretty sure I've told you all about Pinkie and Pinkamena, in where Pinkie gets separated into two halves. One's her normal and hyperactive self while the other is the sullen and depressed side we've seen in the episode Party of One. No, she's not going to be the psychotic serial killer cannibal that we've seen in the story Cupcakes. I'm hoping to detour people away from that particular belief and the automatic association of the name "Pinkamena" with that grimdark-as-hell story. Thing is, I don't exactly have much of a plot going on for it, so if you guys had any ideas, I'm all for 'em.
For my second idea, I'm going to be taking up residence in the "OC" department. Here's to attempting to avoid any cliches.
The "OC" story's name is Ten and Three. This is going to learn towards the Slice of Life category more than anything else - a field that I've rarely delved into. The OC in question is a Canterlot resident who has a career as a rock music artist. But, unlike our more prominent artists Octavia and Vinyl Scratch, his songs will feature subliminal and satirical messages - something that eventually gets him into trouble with Princess Celestia. Does the subtle rebel against the Man intrigue and amaze you? This story's for you! Who knows? Maybe I'll pair up the guy with Octavia or Vinyl Scratch! Maybe I'll get punched out for ruining the OctaVinyl thing that's going on! You'll have to stick around and find out!
My third idea's going to feature Apple Bloom in one of my more darker works. Kudos to Zephyrus Scary for the suggestion. Apple Bloom, the curious little filly she is, eventually walks up to her family and asks a simple question: What happened to our parents? But instead of answering, they immediately become shady and defensive as if she just stepped into taboo territory. Any innocent attempts to find out is reacted to with hostility from all of them. So naturally, Apple Bloom is going to go detective mode and find out what exactly her own family is blatantly hiding from her. But of course, what she finds may be less than pleasant and more than just shocking...
Well, that's it for this blog! I'm gonna go use my newly acquired Hitman's Heatmaker and make some heads explode. 
Really looking forward to the Apple Bloom and Pinkamena one.
Maybe Pinkie has to face her inner demons so she can "become one" with Pinkamena? Just an idea, but slightly common as well.
I'm interested in seeing where this Apple Bloom one goes.
Oh, and by the way... you are now my favorite author. No questions asked.

Hey, don't forget Golden Delicious! They started the idea, and without them, I never would have come up with that!

I'm looking forward to the Pinkie one a lot. If you need ideas on how to split it, maybe something went wrong with one of Twilights spells? OR they find a really old one and think it means something else...but then she would be litterally two different Pinkies, and in order to become one again, she had to realize that she needs both parts of her in order to remain the Pinkie she is? I really don't know.
And I'm excited about the Apple Bloom story too. I love the CMC anyway, so that'll be a story that will end up in my favorites for sure.
Can't wait to see all this new stuff!
