Still working. · 5:32pm Jan 24th, 2012
Slowly making progress with the next chapters of My Little XLR. The ideas are their, just not the time to put them to paper.
Plus been going back to revise some chapters. I was really sloppy on the first one.
Oh, a question for those who do read this. I have ideas set for the mane six. Where they have their epic moment.
Just feel like i should spread those out in between chapters, and not just have them follow one after another.
Since the show isn't over I wanna postpone some things to provide me with more canon stuff to work with. For example, now that Derpy can talk and that's her official name, she will have a chapter later. Just need to think about that one a bit more. Right now the idea is too crazy.
One more question, should I try and stick solely to canon? Or perhaps place in some fanon to the stories? (I kinda have already, just a little.)
For now I'll lightly put some fanon things into the story but mostly stick to canon stuff. Unless I put something original in.
I say try to have an even mix of canon/fanon in the stories. However, if you decide to play more heavily toward one or the other in a story, stick to that. Continuity in an author's version of a story's universe is what I love most, such as Wolokai and Coffeebean do with theirs. They have OCs from some stories show up in other stories.
tl;dr: Even mix preferably, but be consistent.
