What Direction Should I Take? (TDMAIE survey) · 1:21am Oct 11th, 2012
I am at a bit of an impasse as to what direction I should take in my future chapters, and there are a few good reasons. First off, if you've ever read a direct crossover, something I am sure most of you have, then you know that most of the time, there are two things that can happen.
In one of them, the crossed over character is brought into Equestria, and generally just lives there for a while. Nothing overly amazing happens; the world generally don't blow apart into war, and the character spends quite a bit of time learning about the new kingdom and its customs. This can be rather tame, but many of these are still incredibly enjoyable.
Then there are the other crossovers. The ones where the character ends up in Equestria and within minutes things are dying, ponies are fighting, it's general madness, and on top of that, a hell of a lot of fun to read. My fic is currently going in this direction, but there is a flaw with that.
You see, I have a lot of plans for this, for how Do'Jzir, my crossed over character, is going to interact with Equestria, mostly in non violent ways; what relationships and friendships he will build with the characters, and in general, a bit more talking than the pure katana swinging rampage that covers a whole damn chapter.
Anyway, I know ask you all, or at least, I ask all of you who bother to read my blogs (Note: please do, I actually post important stuff in them) what way you want me to proceed with this. Do you want this story to be about a full out war against the hordes of Oblivion and Equestria, or one where the character lives among the ponies while still having to deal with the crisis, but more in the background than anything.
Yes, this is a bit of an odd question, but it really falls down to this: More action less story, or more story less action. I leave it up to you.
As always thanks for reading.

Hmm, I don't know. Can you try to make it a mix?
Either way you choose, keep it up man, this is a rather well done fic, I would hate to see it get cancelled like your FE fic
pweeeeeeeeeeesssseee?
You should have him doing more background while occasionally having him closing an Oblivion gate that will open, and give the sigil stone to Twi of Celestia to inspect, harness, etc etc.
