) and I've put it off many times, so, I'm putting it out to all of you.going on a bit of a hiatus with my fics · 8:10am Nov 26th, 2016
If any of you have read the latest chapter of my fic, Twilgiht's Twinlight, then you already know about this. For those who haven't read it, this is so you know what's going on too.
Note: A lot of this will be copy-pasted from the Author's Note in chapter eight with a little reworking to save me some time, since i'm pretty tired right now.
Anyway, i have an announcement. I am going on a hiatus from my fics, so updates to any of them will likely not happen til next year or maybe late December.
My reasons are because i have left a personal story that has nothing to do with any fandom, thus is an original story all it's own, that i have been putting on the back burning for so long. After comments regarding the Time Travel arch and how i was too quick with it, i realized the pacing for my other story had moved too fast as well.
thus, i've decided to return to that for a while and rework the first few chapters, which are set before the Japan Tsunami. Yeah, that's happening in my story and the main character will be caught in the middle of it.
The reworks are because, like in the original version of the time travel arc for Twilight's Twinlight, i pretty much had the character move from bizarre life changing event to dealing with having to survive the tsunami less than a few days after, which, upon relfection, was BEYOND ridiculous.
The reworking will also give me a more logical way to work the other three main characters (the main character's best friends) introductions in without them being rushed to be settled before they get caught in the Tsunami due to their class having a field trip to Sendai on that day, as i'll be giving them from August of 2010 to settle into their parts in the story.
Some may remember which story i'm referring to, as i've spoken about it in past blog, where i ranted about how annoyed i was that Hasbro made me feel like they'd somehow unintentionally stolen my ideas due to two of main characters being a lot like Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy, before i even knew about FiM. i mean the Rainbow Dash-like character has rainbow hair, moves so fast she leaves a rainbow contrail behind her and even wears cyan clothes when not wearing her school uniform and the Fluttershy-like character has a connection with animals, though, unlike Fluttershy, is able to take on other animal aspects for a brief time. She is also timid and shy and will speak very quietly. sounds familiar, right?
Hell, i never mentioned it before, but even the other main character that's the story's full main character's friend, who briefly starts out as her enemy, i might add, after seeing Human Rarity's gem powers in Legend of Everfree, i feel cheated out again, because that is what my characters powers were and still are going to be.
Man, it's annoying.
Anyway, my point is, i'm taking a bit of a break from writing ponies for a bit so that that story can get some of the love it deserves. I mean, i've been working on it since back in high school, and i started high school (year 9, i don't count year 8 as my official starting high school because it was the worst school year of my life) and that was back in 2006, so that story's been on the back burner and gone through rewrites for a long time now.
Anyway, i hope you'll forgive me for halting any updates to fanfics for a while and will be patient with me.
thank you and, til next time, goodnight everypony
perfectly understandable. Enjoy your break.
Also, FIRST!
Constantly looking for ways to improve is a good thing. Pacing and plotting can be quite hard - if you're not simply doing slice of life. Thanks.
