Cloudy Skies


Cloudy writes stories. Cloudy likes it when ponies like each other maybe a little too much and sometimes end up in love. Cloudy writes stories about these things, often.

    Longpost: What's Next? Also, To Perytonia Resources, Art, Thoughts

    To Perytonia ate a year and change of my life. Dramatic? Yes, dears, I am dramatic, and thank you for finally realising. I’d even add “and I wouldn’t have it any other way” because that's certainly true. However, instead of revelling in its completion and trying to drive hype, I've partially disappeared, so clearly it's complicated.

    To Perytonia Completed

    The longest story I've written to date, To Perytonia, is complete.

    If you've been waiting for it to finish, and if you're in the mood for a grand, dramatic adventure to foreign shores, I invite you to give it a read. Bring plenty of food and drink, pack a blanket, and ask a friend or two to come with you. It's a doozy.

    Today and the Future

    This post features no spoilers of any kind.

    Everyone’s talking about S8 and movies and who knows what else. Goodness, I’ve not even watched S7 yet!

    And you know what, dear reader? I don’t think I ever will.

    This is not a protest against anything, I’m just observing a fact. At this moment I do not know that I will ever engage with the newer content.

    Pony Fan Fiction and Positivity

    Alternate titles: “The post wherein Cloudy justifies their tastes”, “let’s talk about positivity”, or “I’m not just gonna bash on sadfic, I promise!”

    (There are some words about To Perytonia at the end, hence the tag.)

    RariJack? RariJack.

    Shortfic is an art. An art I've never mastered.

    I understand that my latest story, To Perytonia, may be daunting to some/many/most because of its sheer length. Some are waiting for it to finish, some are simply put off by the prospect of a fic that, if printed, could be used as a coffee table.

RariJack? RariJack. · 10:27am Oct 18th, 2017

Shortfic is an art. An art I've never mastered.

I understand that my latest story, To Perytonia, may be daunting to some/many/most because of its sheer length. Some are waiting for it to finish, some are simply put off by the prospect of a fic that, if printed, could be used as a coffee table.

That's why we have Kits! If you think RariJack is a lovely ship—and you should—I recommend you check out Exactly Right.

It would mean the world to me if you would consider doing yourself the favour of checking it out. Kits did some stellar work with the fic, and whupped up some amazing cover art, too, all in a frighteningly short amount of time.

Collusion notice: Kits and I are close friends, and I read his story before its publishing, offering my thoughts. I am not a very neutral party.

Coffee tables are the best kind of fic, though.

OMG KITS IS BACK TOO!!!?

This is THE. BEST. POSSIBLE. THING! :raritystarry:

Also, To Perytonia is fantastic. :pinkiehappy:

Big fic is best fic :twilightsmile:
It's not that big anyway :twilightblush: not yet, I hope.
you can't beat the savage skies series in terms of 'big fic'. not many managed to do that

It is really cute Rarijack too.

:heart:

To Perytonia is only 450-480k words or so. And it's only looking like it'll be a trilogy. A million words? Feh. I eat that for January.

For real though: it's long and, and this is crucial, the story it tells demands the length.

450k is good. million is even better :twilightblush: January? meh. 3 days without paying attention to boring RL stuff :rainbowlaugh:

and this is great. I really love long fics. I'm waiting for the story to be fully published though :twilightsmile:
