IN WHICH I UNWILLINGLY RUN AROUND TOWN
Progress report on latest Sunset story: Applejack's chapter is pretty much done. Will start on Pinkie Pie's as soon as I have time. After that, Fluttershy's chapter, then the epilogue. So, I'm almost halfway done. Yay.
Sometimes when writing, I already have the basics thought out beforehand -- Lows & Highs and the Sunset/Sonata Burrito story are good examples. So is Adagio's burrito story except for the ending (which I had to change). Other times, I only have half the story and let the characters fill in the rest -- how was I supposed to know Aria would kill Donald Trump via burrito theft, or that Rarity stole Sunset's scooter, or that Flash Sentry would act like an asshole to his recovering suicidal ex-girlfriend (he got better), or that Granny Smith would give Mayor Mare "the itis"?
Part of me wants to write another "Spike Is Trapped In A YouTube Poop" story, but I doubt I will. Before I do anything like that, I need to rewrite (to make it not suck) my Dazzlings story where everything Adagio and Sonata say are song lyrics and Aria wants to murder the world.
You know, describing the plots of some of my stories makes them sound even more fucked up than they really are. Or maybe they are that insane and I just don't notice because I'm in too deep. I call them "experimental"!
