    "The Last Illusion" is So Long!

    I mean, it is pretty long but not that long. Certainly, at this point, the largest continuous narrative I have ever written, if I count all that I have that is not hosted on this website. In total, it will have, like, seven Acts or something. I have the entire plot figured out, for the most part, but just the other day I noticed a really unfortunate knot I will have to untie about halfway

    What "The Last Illusion" is Not About

    Those of us that have read about Trixie and Ditzy Doo eventually become aware of a few patterns.

    The Difficulty of Third Person "Objective"

    At this point, I am mostly here to complain.
    Those who have been reading my story "The Last Illusion" may know by now what I am talking about. The story is read out of a book. The book writes itself. But, "most" of the time, it is not a character. In fact, it seems literally incapable of treating itself as one.

    Inspiration via the Loss of Magnificence

    If I were to think back through all of the thinking I did about "The Last Illusion", I could probably point to a number of things as its inspiration. But, there is one thing that I think has stuck the hardest after all the visions and revisions.

    Regarding my Aversion to Adventure Stories

    Truth is, most of the time I find adventure stories very dull. As if, while I read, there is something much more interesting happening later that I am anxious to get to. The beginning is interesting, the end is certainly something, but the middle? Characters and places that I will not be penalized for forgetting.

"The Last Illusion" is So Long! · 12:56pm May 10th, 2016

I mean, it is pretty long but not that long. Certainly, at this point, the largest continuous narrative I have ever written, if I count all that I have that is not hosted on this website. In total, it will have, like, seven Acts or something. I have the entire plot figured out, for the most part, but just the other day I noticed a really unfortunate knot I will have to untie about halfway into the fourth Act. I am almost finished with the third Act at this time, which will probably work out to be the longest. I hope so, anyway, because this story really does not need to be so obscenely long! I promise, I am not writing any "fluff" or anything just for its own sake.
I should also apologize. I am not very skilled at being "an active community member", so if you have favorited or bookshelved or something to one of my stories, I have mostly kept quiet. I may be "growing out" of this fandom a little bit; when I write in the future, I want it to be in a form that is more accessible to more people, is all. My Little Pony fan fiction is not exactly the best conversation starter. Though, I will admit that the story would be a little bit different if I had an avid set of readers here. Ha ha. Still, my biggest story right now is on this website, so I will probably try to network a bit better this summer! Especially since summer starts actual next week.
My goal is to have the entire story finished by the end of the summer. I still have a lot of other story ideas that I want to do, too, and it is a shame to put them all on hold. Still, it is imperative to finish what one starts with narrative, lest one get tragically left behind. I will not let that happen to The Last Illusion. I have worked so hard for so long!
Kudos to everyone reading. If you have your own stories that I should check out, feel free to message me and I will 100% do it.
Until then~
