    Well, Plomo o Plata is published

    Another instalment of my version of Sunset's story, a work that has been pretty much my sole creative output of some last five years is out there.

    Its not as great as I wanted it to be. It was better in my head, but still, I am very glad to have posted it. It was a big challenge for me, in almost every aspect. The genre, the style, the language, the story itself, but I think I pulled through.

    Skipping a beat

    Hi to ally precious few readers of Plomo o Plata,

    Today, unfortunately, I will not be able to put out a chapter.
    There are few last moment revisions that came up, and with the bit of chaos happening in my life I'm running late.

    Sorry.

    Ill get it done by next Wednesday for sure.

    Why We Fight

    Why do I write?
    Why do I write what I chose to write?

    I've been asked this question a few times, and I think I should put to paper the answer to it.

    So, why do I write?

    The mastery of any art begins with the art of... imitation

    So, I've recently read Peter Watts's anthology and it was _great_. And after reading it, I wrote an excerpt wherein I tried to imitate his style.
    Unfortunately, it neither fits in my current fic (almost done, I swear!) nor does it make any sense out of context.

    My Little Xenophilia.

    I am finishing my fic.
    Finally.
    It just clicked one day (and I think I barely wrote a hundred words on said day), that this is it. The final stretch.

Editing! Reviewing! Excitement? · 10:23pm May 20th, 2017

Went over all my fics with a slightly better of understanding of English style and punctuation (thanks to Strunk and White, as well as Grammarly chrome add-in) and fixed a bunch of errors.
Hopefully, now native English speakers will be able to read the "Dazzling Illusions" without bleeding from their eyes.

heh, me and a few other writers were talking about this story just a few days ago. One of the few and best TrixDagio's ships out there.

No, seriously, there is this story, and one other that has not been updated in a long time. :twilightoops: Quite irritating to me since they seem like an amusing pairing.

Also the only one that has been completed. I didn't have much issue with the punctuation or word issues before, but always good to see a good story get a clean up. :pinkiehappy:

To be fair, although you admitted to damning the story with faint praise, due to a lack of competition, I think it is good enough that it would probably rank up there even were their more Adagio/Trixie bits. It's certainly memorable in a way many stories aren't.

Spitefully twisting my words? I would have never expected such a thing from you. :raritycry:

But, seriously, it is a very good story. I don't often think of pairing competition as opposed to genre competition, but even if there were more, this one would undoubtedly be unique. It's a 'bad end' for the Rainbooms, but a good end for Trixie and an end you as the reader are looking for. It's evil winning, but at the same time you really, really want Trixie to win and get the girl. To beat the odds, despite knowing what that would mean for Canterlot High. You don't get that alot, at least without it turning into a dark story and while this has some dark elements, it doesn't go anywhere near horror.

I agree. It does a good job conveying Trixie's emotional intensity and making you feel it, leaving you wanting her to win even as part of you realizes you should dread it.

It's really too bad it doesn't have more exposure. Perhaps the revisions will help.
