The Sentient Cloud


I'm The Sentient Cloud, a now-retired fanfiction writer from New Zealand. If you're looking at this, then you've probably already found your way to either "The Piano Man" or "Those Who Came Before".

    Updates on /everything/

    Okay, so as a little note: I am still around, and I am still working on the final Piano Man Chapter.
    But, that brings me to an interesting point, that being; I'm not entirely sure I'll keep writing for FIMFiction once it's over. I'm not saying I won't, but it's a possibility.

    Hard at Work

    I know I've been very quiet update-wise as of late, so I feel it's best that I put up a quick blog post.

    As per normal, Those Who Came Before is still on hiatus until I've put out these last two Piano Man chapters. I just felt I should reaffirm that. The first of the two-part epilogue for The Piano Man: Act II is close to completion too. I apologize for the long wait.

    Google "The Piano Man"

    Every now and then, I Google my stories, just to see how far down the list they pop up. Obviously, The Piano Man has never been high on the search results unless you include 'FIMfiction' in the search bar.

    But...

    Seriously. What.
    WHAT.

A notice to readers of ALL my stories: · 8:57am Aug 18th, 2012

For readers of The Piano Man: Act II...
Progress on the next chapter will be slowed, but not exactly 'delayed'. I explain why below.

For readers or The Piano Man, and The Piano Man: Act II...
The reason why the next chapter of The Piano Man: Act II will be delayed, is because I am looking into submitting The Piano Man to Equestria Daily. In order to do that, I am doing a major tidy-up of the entire story, and hunting down every last mistake I can find. (And so far, I found a disgusting amount in the first chapter. Why did you people read it? There's so much wrong!)
I will update every chapter at once, with added lines and reworked scenes - and with a complimentary blog-post to go with it. I'm not going to recommend that you read it, as that's not really necessary, but it will look a lot nicer.

For readers of Red Vs Blue: Epsilon in Equestria...
I hate to tell you all, but RvB: EiE will be updated very irregularly, and slowly. This is because The Piano Man: Act II has just over double the number of favorites that EiE has, and I frankly enjoy writing it much more. I'm very sorry, but rest assured that I do not plan to just let the story die.

Awwww... I suppose that I'll just have to be patient and wait for more EiE :pinkiesad2:

294736 At the risk of plugging, ('At the risk of.' Who am I kidding? :twilightsheepish:) may I say that you could try either of the two 'Piano Man' stories. They're an okay read. (Although, like I said, I'm finding a sickening amount of errors in the first one.)

I heard that EqD didn't accept HiE fics, but I dunno for myself. Never actually looked into it.

Good luck regardless though!

294739 I intend to - but my time has been a little limited lately... I've got some catching up to do.

294740 Actually, the rules say that they don't accept Brony in Equestria fics. :ajbemused:
That said, I'm investigating further, as in the first Piano Man, the main character's brony-status does not actually have a notable impact on the story. It's most prominent appearance is near the end with the use of 'This Day Aria'. I'm hoping that its relative insignificance to the overall story means that I still have a chance.

294744 Pssh. Bitch please!

Hit 114, then talk to me. :pinkiecrazy:

God god, I'm a busy person.

1 story in my read later, 3.6 million words read, and I've barely been here for a month and a half.

I have no life.

Can't wait to read more of Piano Man:twilightsmile:

295033 1.6mil words in a week. You got competition, sir.

295082

I challenge you to a read-off! Slap with glove!

Seriously, though. That sounds about on par with me.

295103 You had a head start :trixieshiftleft: But I WILL catch up :rainbowdetermined2:

295120

Good luck with that.

All night reading session, go!

We read it, because when a story has THIS much of an original idea, a few mistakes don't matter to us on FIM fiction. The fact that you made a BiE not just readable, but extremely enjoyable, means that if we find a small misspelled word, it's overlooked because we're too enthralled in the story itself. This happens to me a lot, where I'll read a story, notice a few mistakes, and forget about them by the chapter's end.

Good luck friend :pinkiehappy:

We have seen the enemy, and he is us.

Why do you taunt me with these good stories that I must wait for:pinkiesad2:

RvB: EiE will be updated very irregularly, and slowly.

... son of a bitch. Right, I'm gonna go murder some random person.
