Something to think about. · 9:43am Jan 31st, 2018
So, I'm rapidly approaching chapter 50 of my story. I've never really gotten this far, and I can assure you I'm doing something worthy of the prestigious number. But it's also getting me thinking about something else regarding the story as a whole. If you didn't already know, I hold this humble tale of mine quite close to my heart. I've said before that I based Boltsinger off of aspects of my own personality, with other notable characters based on people with the same relationship towards me that Boltsinger has towards them. Same dynamic, too, despite some liberties taken. I've given Bolt a lot that I don't have, and likely will never have. And I have to say that his story has been more than a little therapeutic for me to write.
The thing I've been thinking about is how the story has progressed so far, and... how I have a bit of an end in sight. Putting it frankly, that's what scares me. Part of me really doesn't want it to end. But, I suppose that's entirely up to how I end it, I guess. I've put everything I have into this, and am improving with every chapter. I just hope that when the "Many Questions" have all been answered, I can keep coming out with something more. Possibly even something ongoing. I would love to write something more "adventurous" after this story is over. So, if you want, why not shoot some ideas for future adventures in the comments below? I want to do more with Bolt after this story is over. It may not have the rapid-fire chapter releases that his debut story has had, but if I can get something ongoing that I feel happy with, I would love to keep going, possibly even basing what happens in the story that includes him off of the story of the show!
My criteria for ideas, though, is that I want to keep everything as true to the source material as possible. While adult things are implied, I don't plan on doing any NSFW events. The show was originally created for children, after all. If you have OC ideas, I would love to hear it! I'm always looking for more ponies for Boltsinger to help when he takes off, or ponies with friendship problems that the actual heroines of the show can help with. Possibly even both? It's fair game! And of course, any OC's that I use will have full credit for their creation in all regards given to the creator. I'm not a monster, after all.
