Update about Writer's Block and Corruption of Equestria · 8:09am Jun 30th, 2018
Greetings Guys and Gals!
Well...some might probably have already noticed that I am suffering under Writer's Block...again. I'm going to work through it since I am feeling miserable for not delivering any stories, especially to the ones who have commissioned me. So I will try my best to get my writing back on track and hope to actually finish something in a weeks time.
Other than that one of my readers suggested me about something for Corruption of Equestria. He (I just assume it is a he for now since I can't remember if it came up in a conversation) thought I was being rather slow, which to be fair is one hundred percent true. So, he suggested I collab. Trying to find a writer with the skills and interest in the topics of the story I write so to say. I am a bit wary about sharing a story with an idea I started with another writer, truth be told. It is different as if nothing is written and one starts a collab from scratch. Though still me being uncomfortable on the thought doesn't mean it couldn't work out. Need to stay open-minded about it. So...I came to the decision that I might as well start a poll and let it run a bit longer like two weeks or longer to see what you would prefer. So, if you are interested in that story you can help me make a decision on this!

That is all from me. I hope I can deliver a Commissioned piece to you soon! See ya!
I'm torn between which poll option to choose.
One one hand as a writer myself, I understand personal pride and desire to write through something on your own.
But at the same time, I have collabed myself (albeit only twice) in the past, and can see the benefits of having another person to help out and bounce ideas back and forth, while possibly suggest ideas that may improve upon the story.
So...I guess think it over, don't rush into making a decision, and at the end of the day the choice is yours.
If you colab on a already existing story/series you will probably have to compromise and sacrifice some of your ideas. If thats fine with you at the end then there shouldnt be anything stoping you.
As a person who is currently being helped by with you, I can say it helped me immensely. I doubt I could have gotten past the second system without someone else to help. The original ideas, that’s tough to collab with, but by something like CoC, you might have to find someone in the fandom. I would say, if the poll or your thoughts pan out, look at the forum for coc. And place a post for finding someone to help write a story. And I would put that it is an MLP story as well so they don't get caught off guard.
