On Its Way · 8:31am Nov 5th, 2012
Next chapter's coming, guys. Just thought I should let you know.
Also, I'm considering writing a proper romance story. Not really sure though. Opinions?
I'm The Sentient Cloud, a now-retired fanfiction writer from New Zealand. If you're looking at this, then you've probably already found your way to either "The Piano Man" or "Those Who Came Before".

Nice! Thank you! dl.dropbox.com/u/31471793/FiMFiction/emoticons/misc_Lyra.png
As for a romance story, I'm always down to read one, and since you are one of my favorite authors on this site I assure you I'll be looking forward to it. What ideas do you have for it so far?

Okay, anyway... I have a few ideas. One of the them that I'm considering the most is a 2nd person story featuring - wait for it - YOU, as a pegasus or unicorn ghost-writer taking up the job of writing a biography on the Elements of Harmony. (Which of course begs the question as to who the romantic interest will be. That's kind-of important.)
I fear that I have just doomed us all... Nah! J/k here, have some plot! dl.dropbox.com/u/31471793/FiMFiction/emoticons/misc_Octavia_plot.png
That aside, this sounds like a good idea to me! I usually avoid 2nd person fics for reasons I cannot properly justify or explain. However if its your fic, it shall be read, and judged harshly without mercy or compassion... even the children shall not be spared. But no pressure or anything!
I mean... Its not anyone like reading your story is out to personally judge you, the human behind the moniker... blindly assuming that your work of fanfiction directly correlates to your real life moral and ethical standings, calling your very character into question. Haha... why that'd just be silly, right? dl.dropbox.com/u/31471793/FiMFiction/emoticons/misc_Twilight_crazy.png

New chapter? Alrighty then!
Romance? I'm incredibly interested. To see you write outside the Piano Man is refreshing.
As for the premise, I had a similar idea, minus the romance part. It's more somber, and sad, and whatnot.
A romance story huh? What's the romance about? Is it an HiE or is it a "standard" pony romance? And what would the plot be? Would the antagonist they face be their own failing relationship, or would it be some kind of outside force?
Commence operation: F*ck With Our Feels. You have the go-ahead.
Nearly all fiction has Lyra and Bon Bon as lovers.
But how they did they become so...?
You could eloborate on that.
New chapter, sounds delicious.
A proper shipfic?

Honestly, it really depends on who's in it. But seriously, go for it. If it's the same quality as your other stories it will be great.

Heh. Joking aside I agree with you 100% on second person perspective stories. I've never seen one that was better off because it was in that particular perspective. Thankfully TSC here's story is interesting enough to stand on it's own. I'd still prefer it not be second person but I've been following along despite my hate for them and enjoying myself.
I like the ghost writer for elements of harmony idea...It sounds promising. Unfortunately that leaves me with multiple questions...(Considering how early you seem to be in planning I'm not sure if you have the answers...) Are you going to do one pony (that's what it seems like...) or give each element a really long (long enough to be a stand alone) chapter about their own (love) life? Would it be a HIE? (because I've only read one romance HIE that I liked, so if you're writing one then I'm probably going to be all over that, due to the fact that as Zasyri said, you do a good job of being generally Bad-ass.) and, what will happen to piano man 2?
(I know you (probably) won't stop writing that, but will there still be the whole "Romantic subplot"? (I was looking forward to that))
Well, anyways, enough with my walls of text, and over use of parentheses. I look forward to the new story, assuming you write it...
476244 All of that is up in the air at this point. I'm basically just saying that I have an idea, and that I know what the basic premise would likely be.
476288 I'll try my best.
476542 Thanks. I love that people consider my writing good enough that they're willing to read anything I put out. (A pretty big generalization. I know.)
476650 Just to clear up: The Piano Man is in 1st person, not 2nd person. ('I' and 'My' is 1st person, as opposed to 2nd person's 'You' and 'Your')
477533 Like I said with Armalite, pretty much all of the story is still in the mixer. I can't really answer most of these questions - except that I can say that it wouldn't be an HiE.
Rest assured, though, that I will be continuing with the romantic subplot in The Piano Man, which I frankly believe that most readers will like. (So I suppose that means that: Yes. I am writing an HiE romance. )
485802 If I may make a suggestion for Keys' crush? I'd say you should probably go with either Twilight or Fluttershy. Either them or a background pony other than Derpy. Not saying that all those others don't deserve love, just that they'd be hard to write for.
Unless, of course, you've already picked somepony out. Then, uh... Just forget I said anything...

I totally derped and thought you were another author XD. He has a similar pinkie avatar. Sorry you are so right. I'm not worthy!
486001 Already picked. It's funny. I keep dropping really subtle little hints that I'm sure you guys will go back and go 'Ooooh~!' at once this act is over and everything's been said and done.
...
Or not. I'm a writer. Not a psychologist.

"Once this act is over..."
Third story for piano man!!?
(Probably not, but I'm still going to keep my hopes up.)
Also yes, I am E stalking you at the moment...I originally came to take a look at Piano Man 1, then I had a question, an then well... Yeah I'm e stalking now.
