Tactical Rewrite · 11:45pm Oct 9th, 2012
Alrighty, this is gonna be a quick blog post without my usual stylistic features, because I'm a silly bugger and I'm forgetting to sleep. A lot. Basically, I had another read through Brushy Brushy and noticed how disjointed and... well... crappy it is. Being a perfectionist, I'm seriously debating taking it down and doing a rather large rewrite. The main storyline would be the same, I just need to expand on the story so far and add some new plot devices, characters and de- well... I guess I'll leave that out until I've confirmed a rewrite. So, for you loyal Brushy fans, what say you? Bigger, better story, or do you like it as it is?

Ya should keep it up, very well written. Despite being just a reader, that is.
NEIN!!!!! Keep it. Flaws are what make the better parts stand out more.
413324 Hey, it's the readers that make the story popular! So you're in favour of leaving it as it is, and having the plot development randomly burst forth from my mind?
413325 Hmm, but there's so much more I want to add!!!
413327 Though readers are what make it popular, it's th' author's job t' make sure it is. Yer call if ya want to take it down, but from a reader's perspective, don't.
Hmm... I think you should first wait until you have more free time (and is well rested)... then consider improving it.
413336 Hmm, I might do, but writing is one of the few opportunities I get to de-stress, so I'd rather assign myself a project to get on with and complete
Or I'm just being suicidal, either or!
Keep it up and just give it little revisions.
413343 As in just editing the chapters, not un-subbing the whole thing?

I dunno. While writing may be relaxing... I think you should do something far from computer, television or paper.
You know, to rest your eyes and mind.
... Quantum. It has returned.
413347 Good idea!
413350 I need to lie low for a while, avoiding the usage of my old username. In short, someone is looking for me and I can't have that
Who is this "Quantum" my notification speaks of?
413354 It's sierra_seven_, long story about the username.
413353 Someone chasing you? I have a product that you could... slip into their diet...

I'd say go for it. I know I'd far rather waiting longer for a better story than having one that doesn't make sense or is lacking good ideas you wanted to use because you didn't go back to add stuff. I know I thought reading through that some things could be better, like with any story really, and if you think you can make the story better, then by all means do it. Ultimately though, it's your decision.
Dude, what have I told you about taking Liam Neeson's daughter?
You should know that changing your username won't save you now...
...in other news, I'd say that you should consider where you want the story to end up. Can you obtain this end with what foundation you already have, or do you REALLY believe that a full renovation is needed to achieve your artistic vision? Either way, I'd say you have the full support of your fans and followers.
I can't say either way as I've still not read it but getting sleep will likely help in either case.
413356 yeah, I assumed as much when I saw the avatar. Good luck with the rewrite by the way, should you choose to do it!
I vote you change it, I'm curious as to what you're going to add!
Reminds me of a quote from Tycho in Poker Night at the Inventory:
"I need the money, man. I owe money. I owe a lot of money to some bad people."
~Tycho Brahe
I dunno why it reminds me, it just does. Also, this is not a perfect replication. I don't know what it is, and I can't find the quote somewhere. dl.dropbox.com/u/31471793/FiMFiction/emoticons/shrug_Derpy_Hooves.png

I found you!
Wait, you're talking about someone else, aren't you?
Just as I was about to read it.
I look forward to what you have to add, though. The premise sounded interesting when I skimmed the first chapter.

Oops, I was really keen to get started though

Heh, it's perfectly fine- I need to get writing anyway! Totally not procrastinating I'll be sure to watch for your rewrite.
Rewrite all the way. I want to see the changes your going to make.m
Bye Bye !!
