living situation. · 3:14am Nov 16th, 2016
so for those of you that don't know I have had quite a ride over the past year, moved to Arizona, slepted in my brother's living room with him stealing my heater during the winter, moved out ended going back to California which was a bad idea, and came back. when I first moved to Arizona I started writing, my first story almost got rejected enough that it wouldn't be able to be on fimfic, jeez I have come far, but that's how bad my grammar was, our school system was just that fucked that I didn't know the difference between your and you're. @_@ and the text walls.... dear Faust the text walls... and that was just my grammer and paragraph structure. the content of the story, in my personal opinion, was complete shite.
made the main character way to op in the start, and holy shit was the gary stue strong with him. my next story was basically my character fucking every mare he could get his dick in in a sex crazed rampage that he just thought he would be getting laid and helping some mares with their heat, little did he know Alicorns can't be sterilized even by reality warpers. but I made the mistake of having him knock Up cadence and wanting an interesting rout for a villain, then people started calling him a rapist and had no remorse for what he did to shining armor as if it was all intentional. -_-
The comments lessened my wanting to write it even with me trying to do things in the story that would satisfy them, but at this point I doubt they can change their view on the subject. he isn't a rapist, and he does feel bad about Shining, horrible even, he is just trying to keep him from killing them all. some are saying things like "oh wow, he must be living it up as a king, here's a big harem as a consolation." now I know I haven't gone to deep in the story yet, but this isn't the case. he has to take up a third of the responsibilities of Equestria, and half of the empire. he has to lead the charge in war should one accrue, he is going to watch everyone except the princesses die one day, though that's a given being an alicorn, he is going to be treated like property in the empire, he has to figure out a way to save Shining without turning him into a mare and without getting both of them erased from existence entirely for breaking a law of reality. there is more but I can't say without spoilers.
anyway my next story, so far one of two that I haven't written myself into a corner, The Mystic Cipher. this one is not only my longest, but my favorite. I have been taking it slow for the most part on this instead of rushing it.
but wow, I got way off track. anywho I have been living on my other brother's couch for the past few months and finally found a place when one of my coworkers said ha has a spare room, that plus me getting a new desktop soon will make it much easier to get chapters out.
In regards to the comments on that particular fic, I say fuck'em. Write the story the way that you want to. Take the comments that contain constructive criticism to heart, but all of those who are just shitting on you and your story without justification can all go and rightly fuck off.
Good shit man. Btw is my oc still "too broken" for chipher? I'm trying my damndest to work with you but it's really starting to get annoying trying to make him "not broken" but not sell him out like a cheap whore. First oc I've made and i don't want it to remain at least with general idea i had when i thought him up.
I'm glad I didn't read your last story, that sounds like a mess. And that is coming from ME!
Anyway, that sounds terrible. I'm glad that you see a light at the end of the tunnel. Take care of yourself.
4304474 it isn't that he is brocken, no as is Nick could easily overpower him in terms of might, it's that his power set strays too far away from his race. the best I can say is either make him a Kirin, unicorn, or Kitsune, or drop the shadow melding powers. any one of those races can cast a temporary night vision spell, and if you had his eyes transplanted with a theastral he could keep it indefinitely.
4305006 thought you said he could get away with his shadow powers??? Plus thestrals have been known to appear as if literally coming in and out of shadows. As far as his shadow weapons are concerned i did make them balanced with the day and night thing, and couldn't you say the same for your main character having abilities that "stray" outside of his own race??? Both your character and mine went through rituals to become as they are, only difference is that yours did it willingly. I've tried working with you bro and have been trying to play by your rules but it seems like your just blocking me off. First you say make him a thestral, now your saying kirin, unicorn, or kitsune. At this point may as well make a wimpy ass character that can't even defend themselves cause that's how it's seeming like in order to even get into your damn story. I get your restrictions on most of this shit bro but this seems like your going overboard.
4305250 -_- umm... no. I said before that your character could get away with just summoning the shadow weapons at most, and that's pushing it for a magic character, at first it was a Pegasus with theastral night vision, duality powers to control Both light and shadow like a Kirin, unicorn or Kitsune, which even then it would have to be one ore the other and some of the stats before the latest update were to high. look your character as he was originally might be good for another one of my stories, likely Winds of change, but as he is he simply won't work in the universe of the cipher. as for my character, he is using the philosopher's stone. this is the source of ALL his power. without it he is just a really strong human. he would have No Magic as the amount he makes from Trixie's DNA would bearly be enough for a basic levitation spell as it is right now. he is a channaller, he has no powers without the stone.
