Writing Blog: The future · 1:30pm Apr 14th, 2016
First of all I would like to thank all those who commented and provided feedback, faved, generally paid attention to or read my fanfic "Friendship Lost...". To be able to have my fanfic featured in EQD here is great news. It means I am appreciated, someone actually thinks I got talent enough to be paid attention to. Those are the same thing aren't they? You'll find out that I babble a lot. I also derail easily.
You are excused to not read beyond the page break.
1)Tip Jar/Patreon/Money Business
So let's see... what am I going to do now? First of all if any of you are thinking that I should get paid, or that there should be a tip jar, or maybe even that I am arrogant simply for thinking that I should get one because of a simple feature in EQD let me say a few things.
I am not thinking of it just because of this. First things first I'm Greek and the whole financial situation is not exactly positive. We're currently under capital controls which makes banks actively refuse to do transactions that are outside borders. That's most cases that I know... we used to not be able to get more than 20 euros out of the bank.
So as you can understand though my family does have some money it's not looking too good in general. They are pushing me to get my "hobby" to the next level and start getting paid for it. I've asked those who do and they have told me that it doesn't get much around like 20-50 a month. And I get it... but it's kind of disheartening to obssess over money and when you've done such an achievement as a feature... you get asked to make money out of it. It feels like "You didn't do enough...". And I feel like "Fuck you be happy with what you got". But in any case I can't do it. Heck paypal doesn't accept the credit card I got because of the capital controls so there's no way I could ever do anything online, let alone set up a donation jar.
2)Sequel/Prequel to "Friendship Lost..."
The future of the story "Friendship Lost..." is entire dependent on whether I'll get my ass off and write something. And also if I will get legend at Hearthstone. Ugh. Hate my internet. Anyway... It's not just writing a sequel or a possible prequel. I have to set up the characters that are needed for doing so, some of them are OCs mine and my friends have. Those stories are not just requirements to set up this story but they are also necessary to set up their feature in other stories so I can have people be familiar with them.
So who are these characters? They are changeling brothers that have pony personas/names Tidal Rider/Ao and Fire Heart/Passion Blaze. You can find their art in my deviantart nioniosbbbb.devianrt.com and Ao's gallery is here. There's also a possible third and fourth character but I won't mention in case they don't get included at all. There's a whole trilogy planned about them so yea... I dream big.
3)Re-Organisation
However before all that can even begin I need to finish my Twysalis story hold your horses! I am not "ending" ending it for those that are interested. But I need to finish the main story-line so I can get it out of my head. This story was always a story that I wasn't particularly "crazy" about. I always considered it writing exercise and a practice overall. However because it is posted in the Twysalis prompt collab I do feel the need to pay SOME attention to it.
Anyway that's all for now... Enjoy the upcoming weekend.
Those capital controls must suck, I've just come into a little money so could have spared you a bit.
Awesome to hear that Ao will be back, been waiting to learn more about how he met Chrysalis.
Also would you like to add me on hearthstone, I'm not very good but I just play it for the fun.
3869737 Then you will be happy to hear Blizz is giving you free 3 packs as soon as the new expansion comes out. In the first pack you will have C'thun for sure a legendary which you can build your deck around which is awesome and with around 400 dust I bet you can craft the servants which means an almost complete deck that is viable.
I am nioniosbbbb#2116.
3869818 Yeah, a close friend of mine who plays the game told me about that.
