A Piece of Posh History · 6:54am Aug 20th, 2017
I was going through an old notebook (for non-horsewords purposes, sadly), and I stumbled upon some Deep Eyeball Lore: the original handwritten outline I did for Eyeball as prep for the writeoff last December.
The whole thing is about five or six pages long; per my messy handwriting, it's mostly illegible, too (and... stained? I don't know why the ink is so smudged). It also doesn't have any particular insights into the writing process behind the story, and what's in there is basically identical to the writeoff draft in terms of plot progression (the robbers had guns, and I think Sunset made a reference to nuclear weapons that was lost on Twilight, also the Starlight subplot was only a note in the margins rather than a part of the story). I won't post the whole thing, but I thought maybe the first page might be neat, if only because you can see the ideas I almost went with before hitting on Eyeball.
Huh. That Applejack yggdrasil idea sounds cool.

Seconded. "Accidentally plants Yggdrasil" sounds like featurebox gold.

I couldn't think of how to sell it, so I went with Eyeball instead.
...Then Perfect Pear happened.
EDIT: Fucking dibs, by the way.

Your Appledrasil story dibs are safe from me. I have dragon/changeling shipping (and TEFL) to post.
