Chapter thoughts I don't know when this is coming out · 8:23am Nov 29th, 2017
Holidays and really random life has made the "fourteen days between updates" be kind of untenable so I'm going to the whenever its out and I feel at least like I touched on everything I wanted to model. This might make some updates rarer but this is kind of an arc end chapter for example. I feel getting the right balance of life and this takes precedence first and also this already had a lot of things running around in my head.
Also when I say it's an end of an arc? It's going to wrap up some plot points brought up and also bring up more new ones.
The stuff I wanted to hit on- Twilight being bombarded by every single pony that has at some point been angry with her over the story so far thanks to her alicorn magic- that means at least touching on Applejack, Big Mac, and Sparkler. Also probably fix Pinkie. Which because I want to try and maybe attempt something with the sex tag- maybe that might take a while. And maybe start unpacking Scootaloo's sort of mini arc throughout the story.
But also introduce the mess that the Wonderbolts are having during this time. That's act two's plot need to start setting that up and giving the Wonderbolts general characteristics I can work with.
But also get this party plot done so that thread is wrapped up. I've been touching on that for a while now I need some payoff to make like 15k words with it in the background like feel worth it. So no I hope I get this done soon. And if it somehow gets way out of hand and goes into the double digits or something crazy extra like that? If I have to I'd split the chapter. I had two ideas for the chapter title anyway so if it comes to that it'd be split in half if I deemed it necessary if like it in the weirdest and I hope not possible occasion it reaches like 15k one day. Cause while I think I could somehow write 15k chapters if I had to, I've read those on the site and in my opinion 15k is the largest amount of words I like reading here in one chapter comfortably.
Pretty much I thank my insane memory skills to let me juggle this mess into a plot that makes sense and pushes the characters into something fun for me to read and work on.
Well two days ago I had almost zero words, now I have three thousand that's always good.
But you know that feeling of having a roadblock on writing the story cause you keep having an idea about a plot point you didn't plan for exactly but kind of makes sense? I wanted one of the Wonderbolts to be this excitable maniac during parties. And also I tried making Fleetfoot or one of the others to have that issue. But like you know how difficult it is to have a pony that I want to be this drugged out maniac turn out to be a square? It's hard. But like then my mind shifted and realized that I kept mentioning Blossomforth for some reason besides Cloud Kicker being a decent pony and warning 'Dash' about her.
That's Blossomforth in this story now. It was hard to start this chapter cause she kept popping up in my head and I kept wondering why she started acting like she did super pushy and hyper and like no filter like she did. And why I kept having an idea of Blossomforth and Spitfire meeting and it imploding super hard. Which I have just gotten to, so this happy chapter where ponies are supposed to dance at some point and have a huge well described party? Well that's later in the chapter now. Welcome to the start of the second arc. And now I somehow like Blossomforth now. She's going to be used more cause she's now kind of sadly important to Spitfire's predicament.
Why are most of the Wonderbolts so boring and no nonsense? Why don't they have some crazy out there partiers or athletic performers and if that's the case, how would that course correction hurt the Wonderbolts? I now have my idea and its all because of a little scandal or two.
It's pretty much the Canterlot Wonderbolts Arc. Well at least I know why I kept thinking Cloud Kicker's insistence that Blossomforth was a bit much and all that kept me thinking that can't just all be what she does. It has to be an act somehow.
And tada, it is, well sort of.
Stupid silly idea of Blossomforth actually being competent and hiding a past that she's kind of ashamed of through continuous sexual references, jokes and kind of creepy behavior? Well I guess that works. And also it shows the character flaw of Spitfire. Or I guess I could call her Spitefire cause A. I keep misspelling it that way for a moment every time I write Spitfire and also she holds grudges real bad and she loves the Wonderbolts to a fanatical degree. Which if there's a past member of the Wonderbolts that "ruined it" for everyone else of course she feels okay being spiteful.
Boy does this story get weird.
