    That She-Ra Fanfic is Published

    Chapter one and the prologue are out. Chapter two is written. Chapter three is being written. If you want to see Catra be She-ra and a much more emotionally damaged She-ra at that, maybe click the link: https://archiveofourown.org/users/Distaff_Pope/works

    Non pony fanfics

    So, despite saying I wanted to write original work, I realized I still love writing fanfiction. I'm also pretty solidly out of pony fanfics beyond an unsettled itch to get back into Sweetie Belle's head. Luckily, other shows exist with other damaged girls with undiagnosed Borderline Personality Disorder. What I'm saying is, I'm dabbling with a She-ra fanfic where Catara becomes She-ra and was

    Adapted Out

    Ok, so by now, I think I've gone through enough stories to talk about things from the source material that aren't going to be a factor. Most of the reasons why they're omitted should be kind of obvious, but I want to run through them anyway. Note: I love all the things I'm about to talk about, and it hurts me to not include them, but they're not best for this story. I'm just explaining my

    "Marked for Evil" is now "We Killed the Dinosaurs"

    Just a quick PSA. I've changed the title for my current story because Marked for Evil just seemed so angsty. We Killed the Dinosaurs seems less so, in contrast, and I think speaks to the heart of the work more. I'm also debating changing cover art to show the meteor hitting earth and dinosaurs looking on moments before their doom, but I want feedback on that first.

    A Little Rewrite

    So, someone pointed out to me yesterday that they had some issues with the magic camera. The first being how easily Sunset rolled with it once she got photographed, and also how convenient the camera was. In light of that, I rewrote a bit of chapter three and a good bit chapter four. So you don't all have to reread the chapters to see the changes, I'm posting the major changes here. The first is

The BronyCon Story · 1:12am Jul 25th, 2016

So, the BronyCon story should be up right now! If you want to read it, it's right here. It's not the exact story I published because I made some minor changes to make the dialogue and prose flow better, but I like to think it's better.

I'd like to let everyone know that I'm working on my own original fiction these days. I'm not quitting fanfiction, I still have a few little pony stories kicking around in my head, but fanfiction's not going to be the focus of my writing anymore. I'll have more on my original fiction later, but right now, I feel comfortable in saying a couple of things if you're curious:

Its style will be similar to my other writings. I'm not going to be writing big action heavy things now that I'm trying to go "legitimate." It will still be these stories about everyday people going about their lives in a fantastic setting. While they're might be some world-saving happening eventually, it's mostly going to be the story of people going about their lives, relating to each other, and getting into odd situations.

It will be at least partly set in our world. You know, the one we live in right now. Where there aren't magic talking horses.

It will be published online for free. Like most people below a certain age, I want the majority of my work online where anyone can read it. I'll have a patreon set up so people can support me if they want to, but I feel kind of weird asking people to pay me up front. I don't have the hosting website ready yet, but you had better believe that when it's up, there'll be a blog post here telling you all about it.

Also, expect another chapter of YOWE to drop by Wednesday.

Hope to see you all in the comments for the new story.

Original stuff is always fun, if a bit scary. Good luck with that.

4111114 It's definitely scary. I know my productivity has gone to trash since I started writing original stuff and I keep worrying my material isn't good.

4111137 I've read your writing, and you've got talent. You'll do fine.
