    I think my job is trying to give me PTSD.

    I was awoken by a phone call this morning. Work asked me to come in, as things were crazy. I did so, was there from around 9:30 AM to 6PM. Worked without a lunch break, I might add.

    The Moral Event Horizon.

    Gonna discuss another trope today in relation to the Quiververse. In this case, it's the Moral Event Horizon. In simple terms, this is the point a character passes that forever marks them as EVIL and potentially irredeemable. TVTropes itself lists a few examples from FiM, and I won't repeat them here...though I will say that

    It never ends. It just...never...ends...

    So work decided to throw another curve ball at me. My supervisor has been transferred to another store. That means that I've had six supervisors in my department across six years, and it could take weeks, maybe even months, for us to get a new one. Which means I'm going to continue to be worked to death.

    So, I'm writing again.

    It's not much, but I got some writing done today. Now, be warned, it's going to be a very long time before I do anything related to the Quiververse again, but I'm hoping that time frame will be measured in months rather than a year.

    Still, at least I'm making some progress.

    A question to my readers.

    When I started serious work on the Quiververse, I made myself a promise. That promise was thus, to do the best I can to use whatever characters appear in a story to the best of my ability. I like to think I've done that, as various canon characters are reasonably consistent with their portrayals in the show (and arguably are undergoing development, though that's up to the reader), and my OCs have

Tempted again... · 3:06am Apr 11th, 2019

The plot bunnies have been multiplying of late, and I'm finding myself strongly tempted to either A, expand an as-yet-unwritten chunk to the first epilogue to Many Happy Reunions and turn it into a third epilogue, or B, still expand it, but instead make it into a prologue for a future story.

Might end up going with the second one, but I'm curious about everyone else's thoughts.

Hmm... I'm curious for either one. Oh, maybe the second, I suppose.

If you think you can go somewhere with the arc I would say go for the future story.

Probably the latter. Too many epilogues and it becomes a question of why things aren't just more numbered chapters.

Yeah. I would have to say go the "prologue to another story" route. I mean, yeah, epilogues are great, but two epilogues are plenty for a story of this type. I mean, we aren't talking about a massive "cosmic battle against a villain so big that it would require at least four groups of heroes to prevail" type of story.

At this point, I'm thinking the second idea is best anyway. If nothing else, it'll mean that I'm getting the story done just a little bit faster.

Tempting, but I've still got enough hints of one to count for the future. Besides, I kinda like the idea of this trilogy being mostly standalone.
