    Endings Are Hard

    You know, when I asked for ideas for the Cloptober Challenge, I was reasonably confident I'd be done with Suck by now. As it turns out, while I'm mostly done with the ending, I find myself wondering if I'm tying the plot points, if it's going too long, etc. I'm actually thinking of splitting the ending in two and using what I have now as a Chapter 9.

    It's Cloptober!

    First off, I'm knee-deep in Ch. 7 of Suck, and should have that done in a day or two. We're reaching the, er, climax, as it were. ;)

    Cyan Pony?

    A commenter on a story I was reading brought up something rather interesting. In most fan-fiction, Rainbow Dash is described as being cyan-colored. However, this is not the case. Now, the linked pic is not being, as I'd say, polite or constructive, but the point is made. Cyan is far too strong a color for G4 Rainbow Dash.

    Fixing Black Tags in BBCode.

    OK, here's a little something for editing. Now, as you probably know, FIMFiction.net uses BBCode for submitting stories. Yes, one could use Google Drive, but I could never get it to work, so I usually use LibreOffice Writer to make a new HTML document and type up my fic there, then save the HTML file and use the source code (open the HTML doc with a

"Where the hell have YOU been, Yuko!?" (or: Finding My Groove) · 4:02am Mar 5th, 2016

It's been a while, hasn't it?

Truth be told, it was more than simple burnout. I'd been at a bit of a rapid clip back then. Problem is, with my last fic, which I couldn't finish (but those of you who remember will see the one I've deleted), I'd fallen into the worst bit of a funk. Not only was it turning out to be a mess of random concepts the way Suck had, but I didn't really know where to take it. I'd gotten depressed, and lost my faith as a writer, since I had no idea what to do.

I guess I just had trouble saying "fuck it" and moving on.

So yeah, I guess the time I've been away, you could say that I've been building up the courage to push past that failure. I'm going to do that. My failed fic is going to be deleted after this. I don't want to have something I don't believe in on my selection. Maybe I'll revisit the concept when I feel I can bring it somewhere. In the meantime, I'm gonna try to work on other things. Hopefully I'll be able to get back on the high horse and really hit one out of the park. Here's hoping.

Like a phoenix, he rises from the ashes.

Welcome back and best of luck!

3791980 Thank you for the kind words! Hopefully I won't write myself into a funk again. :pinkiecrazy:

Was wondering where you went, leedle.

I enjoyed Suck and was enjoying its sidequel... I didnt think either one was a mess. Still, it's your thoughts that matter that count, so if you want to delete it then so be it.... Still, It'll be nice to see you writting again, if you do...
