The things one does when sleep isn't working... · 7:00am Dec 24th, 2015
Well, I doubt I need to explain this post much... It's 6:18AM when I wrote that time and I cannot seem to sleep. What does one do in these situations? Well, they could sit through six episodes of an anime called 'Love, Chunibyo and other delusions', that's the dubbed name by the way, I've no idea on its subbed counter part. Or they might write, which I regret to say was not what I did...
I know my sleeping pattern holds me no favours what so ever... Hell sleeping in till like 4:00Pm is never good. Other than my odd sleeping times I find it difficult to go to sleep sometimes. Those of you who also experience this should know what I feel right now. Still, I guess getting some thoughts out here might help. I'm not sure where I'm going with my fics. I know I've got a long way to go one my main three fics and one large side project. Along with my slow progress on a collab I'm doing with my two co-authors, which... Is down to me actually... Sorry about that. Scorpia has actually written quite a bit while me and our other co-author none, granted that's still an excuse as it's my turn to write... Ugh, yeah, I suck bad.
Needless to say in relation to my own work... It's not that I don't have ideas. I guess you could say I hunger for more and in retrospect I do get a lot of ideas from anime and other things. I've so many I've planned and never enough motivation or time to go around them all. It's now about 6:30AM and I'm still pouring my mind out to an audience, that may or may not exist. Guess going my inspiration might be fun...
The Chained Luna Cycle: What can I say? It's my first fic. I could lie and claim that 'The Fox and The Moon' was my first, but that'd be false. CLC had another form before it's current, much deeper one. It used to be a human in Equestria story starring yours truly. I know right, starting off my fanfic writing with a shameless self insert? Hell, I'm still doing that. This fic started when my friend introduced me to this site, I was pre reading for him on 'The Unexpected Adventure', yeah I was so bad at it, I apologise. Still after that the idea of Princess Luna visiting my mindscape was fun. Interacting with my alters and the environment, it was a fun yet rough idea. The rest was a scenario game me and my friends used to do often. "Which coin would we pick if a robbed man gave us three choices." Yeah I threw that in. The whole idea got up to where it is now at it's current chapter. In its new form, It's much more refined. Yuuki carries my original idea and desire, along with my mental landscape and alters. One could say it's a much less obvious self insert, but I don't know. I feel that I'm allowing a character to live out my dream using all that I would have had. In essence, I feel Yuuki is an addition to my already interesting family of loved characters.
Legacy of Blood: Oh, now this fic. Where do I begin? This fic was meant to be so much less than what it is... A simple mash up between 'Tokyo Ghoul' and 'Deadman's Wonderland', sounds simple enough, right? It was, until my co-author said the magic words that exploded it's entire plot line and development. "You can go ahead and use him if you want." By that, I was only going to mention his OC by name as a big shot in the far east of Equestria! Not have the sucker drop in from the sky and knock out somepony! Thanks to that line the entire plot of LoB was blown wide open and so many things happened that never would have in the original line up. It had no specific plot or storyline. That said, I'd have it no other way. What we have now is such a brilliant setup and not even we know exactly what is coming next. All I do know is that when we enter a Skype call, rest assured that every time a mouth is open, the possibility of a mental idea nuke going off is always at hand. I'd never change it!
Dance in the Midst of Midnight: Since when did I dabble in the darkness of this kinda shit? Oh, I don't know, since forever? Seriously, what did I think was going to happen when I crossed a dream with one of my most loved dubbed anime's of all time? 'Kill La Kill', was the anime that brought life into Amore. I'd even go so far as to say that feisty little half breed minx would never exist if not for the red striped heroin of that damn anime. Her attitude, her fighting style, half of her personality, it all stems from that woman. The academy, order of light? That's all the dreams fault. I threw in vampires and shit for fun. What do you get when you mix all that together into my mind? 'Dance in the Midst of Midnight', a anime styled fic where the main character finds herself at a academy for supernatural ponies and normal ponies to learn to live in peace. Sound familiar? Well, the anime 'Rosario + Vampire' has the same academy, only that one has just one human and the rest are supernatural. Either way, being my most popular series fic, it is fun and has a lot of story just waiting behind the comedy to come out and play. I try my best to mix fun loving comedy with a serious and dramatic plot line that will leave you wanting more. Did I do well? I don't know, but I think the like count does. There are 4th wall breaks, inception moments and stuff that will just make you laugh. Then there is the storyline within all that, which makes it so worth writing.
It's now practically 7:00AM and I'm still going, ugh... Payday 2: Stealing Equestria: My OC, Frozen Quill's back story. I should likely put that on the description, but I'll see what you guys think. It combines the loved game mechanics and weapons with your loving pastel ponies, what more could you ask for? High speed chases, gun fights, heists and broad daylight robbery, pre heist planning. This fic has it all people! I will also be asking at the end of every finale chapter if anyone has any good heist ideas they would love to see in the fic. It needs to make sense, I'm literally just looking for ideas for heists and a goal they could steal, I'll handle the between parts.
I think I'm done. I know I've loads of ideas just waiting to be unleashed, but I said I wouldn't do any till one of my main three finish. Motivation is my problem and inspiration is my curse word... Still, I know I say this a lot, but It's just because I'm not used to doing these things and having actual people outside those I trust to talk to. I guess that's partly the reason for blogs and shit. I mean, I guess I trust you guys, my followers. Well, I think I've dumped enough thoughts on the internet for one night. See ya all much later... Or should I say earlier? I just don't know... Stay cool everypony!
That damn ending line, which is a pun to my name, is starting to get catchy... it's so bad, but it's so fun... Ugh... Sleep, right, that's what I was doing... Bye!
I understand dude! Just keep on going on your current ideas and make them blossom! Oh and have a Merry Christmas!!
