Hell if I know. But I'm working on it.
Stay woke.

I write pony words that people seem to like. I also review fics and draw purty pictures, apperently. I'm an older fan of MLP, so expect a lot of 80's references.

This means nothing, I was just noticing the dates.
But while I got you here, I'm gonna throw up some SFW art I've done recently.

I woke up with a fully formed idea for a new chapter in my silly anthology of scenes where Sunset Shimmer is haunted by pony!Pinkie lodged DEEPLY in my mind and I think I'm going to write it. I'm in a writerly mood. Apparently.

This flew under my radar yesterday, so I just woke up to find it and it is just as sweet as all that discounted candy! Give it a listen and pop over to Lostus's page and drop a like or a comment or something. This is top tier work!

I posted a little section of this last blog, but I think I'm happy where this is at right now. Obviously this takes place in the midst of a larger narrative, so there might be some/a lot of context that's lost here, but the gist is a couple of priests and a warlock form up an adventuring party and before they even have their first outing, some shit goes down at the tavern.

Happy birthday to the version of Pony that made my life more than a little brighter.
These hoofed ruminates (and their humanoid counterparts) will always have a special place in my heart.

Just like Jesus.
Or Waldo.
Would you appreciate being asked how it's going? Or would that be irritating and only slow it down by distracting you and wasting your time having to provide an answer?

Nah, fam, it's all good. Sometimes it's good to get poked so I remember what I'm supposed to be doing.
I'm...good...at the moment. My writing has been in a downward swing the last week or so, but I'm dealing with some IRL stuff that hasn't settled yet to know if it's going to be a good thing or not in the long run. Despite the downturn, I HAVE made progress on a few fics and chapter things. Not as much as I would like, but better than nothing by a good measure.
Thanks for asking, tbh.
4472095 I think... yup, I think that's the first time anyone's ever called me fam, congratulations!
Stuff that hasn't settled down is frustrating, as there isn't much you can really do until it has, and don't even really know what to think in the meantime. Glad to hear that some things have gone well at least. Unfortunately 'as well as I'd like' usually tends to be quite a high standard that one often falls short of. It's nice when it does happen, but, yeah...
From what you've said elsewhere, I take it it's A Dazzling Sunset causing some of the problems?
4474167
Yeah, a bit. I've been trying to pull my enthusiasm to write it out of the trash, but I haven't had much luck as of yet. To be perfectly honest, I painted myself into a bad spot with the last chapter and I need to clear the space in a good way to allow for the story to wrap itself up.
Unfortunately, 'clear the space' is harder to do than say. I need to move Applejack and Granny Smith along in a way that doesn't feel like a needless plot convenience. While simultaneously ratcheting up the tension between Sunset and Adagio until they either get into a fight or just break down and are honest with each other for a change. THEN I need to bring in Aria in a way that doesn't feel like a let down at this point.
Tying up plot threads is frustrating and hard and there are far more of them than I ever initially planned because the story grew organically as I went. Now I'm in the uncomfortable position of figuring out which ones get axed and which ones I want to put a little bow on, ala Alicorn Switcheroo. So I know I can do it, but the actual navigation of that minefield makes me anxious as all get out.
4474267 I do see your problem!
I'd forgotten about the Apple presence, I just reread the end of the last chapter to remind myself. So, if I'm understanding right, Sunset is still at least part-demon, albeit now a bit teary, but neither Apple has actually seen them? And so just having Apple Bloom and Granny Smith's voices disappearing away and then a, "Whew, that was close!" would make the cliffhanger dull and pointless?
I guess ways to have the cliffhanger connect to the rest of the narrative would be for Adagio and/or Sunset to be spotted, and lead to a conversation of sorts. Or you could have them make a run for it, and Apple Bloom reach the mouth of the bit where they are just too late to see them disappear out of sight, and the tension of being caught might help increase the tension between the two of them? Or, if Sunset's able to overcome her demon face, she could go out and face them innocently while Adagio stays hidden?
I appreciate it's led you to a bit of a dead end at the moment, but just last chapter that same organic growth method took you to the incredible scene with the wings in the classroom, so it's not all bad news
One is tempted to suggest that the catch-all answer is for Sunset and Adagio to hear a third voice from the direction of Granny Smith and Apple Bloom, unmistakably that of Aria, saying, "Thanks for the lift, ms Smith, when I heard my missing friend had been spotted at the school I knew I had to get there right away. I can't even imagine what kind of trouble she's in..."

Heh, while Granny having given Aria and Sonata a ride wasn't an angle I'd thought of, it doesn't really fit the timeline. Still, that is a cool angle that I might do something with. I don't really want Sunset to have that conversation yet, especially with her demon face on. That's a little something I want her to confront along with Adagio being blunt about it. Not to mention letting the near-miss of getting caught in a situation that appears intimate to an outside viewer get to Sunset is a big driver in the current emotional conflict.
I think that I might be best served by having the Apples serve as a constant sort of 'threat' of being caught for Sunset. So that even after nearly getting caught outside, they are nearby and might overhear or come around the corner at the wrong point. Or I could have them provide something else and therefore serve a purpose to the greater story. Maybe Applejack could turn on the radio at some point where Adagio and Sunset can hear it and they dance? I dunno yet. I'll figure it out.
4474396 Maintained Apple threat sounds like it could be a good way to go, not so sure personally about the radio idea, but obviously depends how it is in context. Whatever you think best. It's only the last three or four lines of the previous chapter, though, I'd say not to get too hung up on that bit.
