Aurthors QnA thing · 2:05am May 21st, 2016
Seeing as I can't write and it is driving me insane I figured I'd do an authors QnA that another author I am a fan of did and answer the same questions so I am actually doing somthing rather then just sitting around reading and plotting/scheming/planning what more I can do go Twilight or monkeying about on this site.
So here we go folks!
What is your favorite fic you have under your belt?
Well this is a hard one as.I enjoy all my work honestly(why else wright them?)
But honestly I think I'd have to say.....Soldier of Magic.
Not only is it the first story I ever finished that was.multiple chapters but it was also my first successful story as well as one of the most interesting world I built with some interesting people. And it just kept growing as we followed Twilight's slow decent into madness as she became a psychotic soldier.
Honestly half the things that happened and how some of the people turns out I never planned for as the story eventually took on a life of its own and I was.just as.much along for the ride as everyone e reading as I only had a vague idea what was going g to happen as my plans did not survive contact with this story.
What is your favorite snippet of dialogue?
That is easy.
“Hmmm….maybe. “The Princess aid and finished her coffee before sitting back in her throne. She blinked as she noticed that it felt different then it should and shifted a bit to try and figure out what was wrong before looking back at it.
Her vision was filled with the smirking face of the Commander. “Morning Princess!” she said cheerily. “Enjoy your coffee?”
If anyone was still asleep in Ponyville they were rudely awoken as a scream echoed across the town emanating from the Castel of Friendship.
I laughed my ass of to this for some time.
What inspired [insert fic]?
Well I can't decide which fic to answer this with so if anyone wants to ask about any of my fics just do so in the comments and I'll answer.
Do you prefer writing long or short fics?
I prefer writing regardless of length of the story. Hell anyone who knows me right now not being able to write is driving me crazy!!!
What’s your favorite headcanon you use in fics?
I'd say that its either that Discord is truly a God who is aware of things far outside of whatever is in front of him and has been around since near the beggining of the univser helping to maintain balance by doing the opposite of the majority (being chaotic when the world is in order and orderly when the world is chaotic. Being valiant when the world is nothing but death and destruction and scheming and evil when there is to much good)
Or
That Equestria is jot a utopia and has the same issues as any other country world to an extent and that the nation has a rather bloody history from when it was formed.
Those are my two favorite headcannons
What’s the detail you wait on bated breath for readers to notice?
All the refrances I make both indirect and straight up taking scenes and diologue from sources. Seriously I make a LOT of refrances to two different sources mostly with a few other sources tossed in here and there and I have no idea if anyone sees them but me.
How much do you like symbolism in your fics?
I don't think I have ever really used symbolism in my stories as far as I know besides the fact that in the Soldier Series where Twilight keeps loosing more of her body at about the same rate her mind is going till she is half machine and half pony and is basicly an entirely different person and more or less a living weapon.
How often do people catch onto your little details?
Eh everyone now and then I suppose. Its interesting seeing which scenes and details latch onto in the stories I write and I have yet to predict which detail people will do this with.
What’s the fic you like the least?
Eh I'd have to say Friendship and War. Honestly that has to be the least planned out fic I placed on here and the way I set things up and portrayed things was just terrible and I am going to eventually rewrite it when I am able to figure out a plan.
What would you change if you had it all to do again?
Honestly? Maybe found an editor earlier for my stories as it stands I am needing to hire on a couple more editors onto my staff as there is no way my single editor can get through all my work at the rate I upload. The world will end before he catches up. Though till I can a computer again I can't get anything edited.
What’s a fanfic idea you haven’t done yet?
An AU story involving Alicorn Twilight who went missong centuries ago and an OC who gets turnerdinto a drone by Twilight to save their life as they get fatally injured after finding an old bunker and Twilight panics. And then the OC basicly is used as a scout as Twilight has been away so long without any contact with the outside world she doesn't know what's happened. It would have a lot of amusing scenario s as the OC still has free will but can be given objectives that will nag at the back of their mind till they do it and they have to get used to the fact they are a machine so don't need sleep or food or...well anything really but can still do them if they choose.
Was inspired by this

What’s the hardest thing to write for you?
ROMANCE!!! I cannot not write romance to save my life and I know apparently I have a lot of set up for romance plot lines in my Soldier Series apparently but I can assure you that was purely accidental as I cannot write romance at all. I think the glosses o have come is the relationship between the Commander and the Major.q
Do you have a favorite character to write for?
Twilight. Pure and simple she is by far the easiest to write for when it comes to me as she is the most balanced with her sanity and instability and it gives me a lot to work with when it comes to make g peaceful ponies confront grim.and dark realities that populate my stories
What’s your favorite shipping fic you’ve written?
I have never written a ship fic so I am not applicable.
Give us a snippet of something from your WiPs!
I would love to if I could but I have nothing. I can tell you the next chapter of The Princess and The Soldier will have the Royal Sister interacting with their sentybot counterparts.
Whelp that's that. I feel somewhat better now that o have done something
This was all written on my cell phone so may have a few strange errors but eh I already had to fight just to get the questions up.
Hope you all enjoy this as I know its no substitute for an actual chapter but at least its something.
Catch you all later.
Why do I go to random peoples houses ask to use their bathroom then jump out there window?
