I might try writing another story. · 12:33am Apr 3rd, 2016
Alright, I think I've been on hiatus long enough and want your opinions on an idea. I kind of want to do one of those comment driven stories where you all vote on how the main character grows and changes throughout it. I know, I should work on my other stories, but I just don't feel motivated to do it and I'm hoping seeing comments again will get me interested again. Let me know what you guys think of it and if there is enough interest I'll go a bit more in detail into what I have planned for it.

DO IT! DO IT! DO IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!
3844683 Well that was fast.
3844684 did you expect less from me?!
3844685 I was expecting Shia LaBeouf
3844689 ha ha
3844691
3844694 still, you should do it! Just do it!
3844701 why, there a problem with it? This is a genuine question.
3844699 I might, I always planned it, but whether it's comment driven or not is still up for debate.
I'm game.
3844706 I'm a;ready getting a pool of voters, yay!
3844704 if you can do it, just do it!
3844715 2 people saying yes isn't going to get it...it has t be 4.
3844725 TWO MORE PEOPLE COME ON!!!!!!!!
3844723 Can you repeat that first part again, I'm not sure what you mean exactly. are you saying I wont like it after awhile or other people wont like it after awhile?
3844728 More like three. E-tec looks like he's against the idea. Though it seems more like it's to protect my fragile ego.
3844732 DAMN IT TO HELL!!!!
3844734 glad to see I have 2 people liking the idea.
3844740 of course I like it!!!!
http://www.fimfiction.net/story/85022/wake-up-see-this-what-do-comment-driven-story here's a comment driven story I kinda liked, if you want a reference.
3844753 I think I'll be avoiding things along those lines. I meant primarily personality traits that would develop. Say at the start I give a choice between him acting like a hero, anti-hero, or a villain. I was thinking choices like that. As for doing things I don't want to well...I kind of have done that before.
3844747 The exact reason I want to try this! Well that and another one that never finished. I was thinking a mix of the two.
3844771 0.0. Boom Boom!
High' One of the Crow it is good to hear from you one again. For your idea, for what I think of your idea If this would encourage to write again it would be a great idea, even doe I doe have some reservation about it. I think you should think very carefully on the premise of the story you want to create, be mindful of the comments if you think it can help make your story richer in its content but don't let yourself entirely guided by the them, you show consider it as more of a gaging the temperature of your audience, to see if you got the reactions your where garnering for. But, you shouldn't solely rely on them and always try to keep things interesting by writing expecting turn of event, and suspense to keep your public on the edge of their seats. So what did you had in mind for a story anyway?
3844861 Well it would be comment driven but follow an idea. I'm debating between another HIE or making it completely Equestrian. If I go with HIE I will have a few hundred or so bronies appear in Equestria and establish a town where we'll be introduced to possible main characters. That's right, I'm giving you guys the option to pick who is the hero/villain/anti-hero. With this idea we'll follow one of the guys that decide to try and make it big in Equestria or if they will just roll with life. If it doesn't follow that opener then I might just have a blog that you guys will vote on a main character to pick and we'll follow their life with the same idea as before. Could be good or bad depending on the response.

this could be a problem, is this going to be regular humans or is it a Humans turn into ponies? What are the circumstances of their arrival? spaceships, wormhole, artifacts, extracted from a sorcerer, Changelings? please no Discord we see enough of that already. Are they already together when they start or are they gartering one by one? doe they arrive in Ponyville, in a forest, montane, Changeling hive, in Canterlot? Are they lost, do they have a quest to accomplish, could they still go home one day? I would recommend a unique premise to the story to make it stand out more. Do they live in an isolation area where the ponies are aren't allowed to enter? The fact that their are multiple humans in this story could be interesting because you could practice alternating points of views to show how differently each characters view their situation and they can each explore different aspects of the situation they are living in. Please don't make it so that everything is served up to them automatically by the ponies or that they do impossible feet all the sodden to get the ponies trust, I find it boring after seeing it so many times. It would better in my opinion that they gradually get their trust.
3844955 They all arrived at once but not together. Eventually a few decided to organize them all into a town that ponies are allowed into, but they have to go on a tour and get an explanation. As for ponies auto trusting them, do I ever write like that mix-up?
As for going home one day, maybe a few variations of the path lead to that but there is no guarantee the story will take those paths.
As for the human vs. turned pony thing. Who said everyone turned into a pony? Maybe one is a changeling. Maybe a dragon. Why not a red and black alicorn! (That was a joke)
Finally the circumstances for arriving, well where's the fun in just saying that now?
3844974 Well, turning them into ponies is the easiest way to to get along with the ponies but they get the problem of having to convince other that they are not.
For other species Changeling are automatically labeled as threats and you what will happen would probably be predictable unless you do your own twist on things, and they have their own special dietary needs. Their is also the problem that they can change forms to suit their needs witch is a big advantage for them.
Dragons would be harder to integrate in interacting as most ponies would stay and the variable size, depending on it, they can't go fit into small buildings and they would be so powerful, with little inconvenience for them, that it would be much fun to use in dangerous situations and would automatically looked for to help.
Other species species could be interesting like donkey, Griffins, mules, deer, cows ,goats, monitors,zebras horses, buffalos, brezzez, yaks, as most people just focuses on the more popular species. But then you just get a barnyard of human turn animal, and you would start to wander why you are even doing this in the MLP universe. Plus, it would make it even harder to find common grounds to stay together, or even recognizes each other from being from the same species . Plus, the ponies would preferably dismiss them as just some tourists from other countries, which is defeat the point in trying to show that they are assumed to be part of the community and that all the social rules they are expected to follow for which they don't understand, and will mess up to create confusions and misunderstandings is part of the theme of the Stories Human Turn Pony stories.
I think if you want to make this story to have their own little community it would be better if they stay human for the story. They all recognize each other as humans and will immediately associate with each other on that with little trouble meet one an other and will inevitably create their own clique on that alone.
What I say is not what I think you must do, but are different factors of avenues that to explore and consider in making your story.
Hope this helps a little.
3845054 It always helps mix-up. It always does.
Holy shit, this got so many views and comments so much quicker than any of the most popular authors do when they post a blog.
edit: and yeah that would be great
edit edit: this comment probably is the most useless comment XD
3845185 It's a thing!
