    I Have S*** Followers

    So, I recently came to have that sweet 69 followers, and I am not above making the joke. Yay, hopefully, my future works will be seen by more people. I want to thank all of you who were foolish enough to click that follow button for the guy that barely writes. Hopefully I dont disappoint you all too badly.

    I Was Wrong

    So, for anyone that read my blog a while back pertaining to not saying things, I have to admit, I was wrong. I recently was reviewing a story and there was just a large amount of 'X said' and its derivatives, but for the most part, had solid writing. I was about to mark it down for this when I decided to thumb through a few books I have and see if this was common practice. To my surprise, of the

    Darkness done right

    Hey, do you think I'm a wellspring of good advice? Do you think I have a clue about anything I talk about? Well time to burst that bubble and tell you all I am either talking out my ass half the time or repeating shit I learned from someone else.

    So, dark stories.

    How I write and what you can learn

    Now, something I have been told time and time again is; “Just write. No matter how bad it is you are still writing and you can always go back and unfuck the disaster.” Now I understand where people are coming from, and I know they mean well, but let me beat something into the skulls of all the authors that keep giving this advice.

    It’s not for me.

I have reached A mile-stone, I think. · 11:14pm Jun 5th, 2019

So, it has come to my attention that I have not only reached 50 followers but have actually surpassed it (53 at time of writing). Well, what's even more interesting is that all but 11 of you have done so in the last 9-10 months, the same time I got back into writing. So to all of you following me I would like to present you with a song to encapsulate exactly how I feel I will be going forward.

I'm fairly certain that I won't be living up to any positive expectations seeing as I have; 1) failed to finish a commission, 2) Can't keep to a proper review schedule, 3) have yet to properly reward someone for solving a puzzle I made, 4) Can't post chapters on a regular basis, and 5) have a terrible habit of not editing stories I get sent in a timely manner. I'm actually shocked I was able to trick 50 people into thinking I'm good enough to be worth keeping track of their goings-on. So in the most roundabout way I'm trying to say thanks for giving a damn about me and the swill I put out.

So, this leaves me with a sort of poll/ order form. For everyone that reads this, I will be putting priority into writing the next chapter for A New Life and The Dark Origen of The Windigo but I would like to see what you would like to see from me in the next month.
Here are thine options:

A Timberwolf for Forrester:

FINISH YOUR DAMN REVISIONS AND POST THE NEXT THREE CHAPTERS YOU LAZY, OVERGROWN, INCOMPETENT LIZARD!!! (A little harsh but can do)

An Apples Honesty:

Granny Smith has dementia, and the family is trying to deal with it. Unlike my usual stories, this will only be bittersweet (think the ending to Starlight, Trixie, and The Cursed Manor) [I also need to get around to fixing that].

That one story I promised that one person:

What it says on the tin. No clue what they will ask for.

The Model Dragon:

what would it be like if something like this existed in the MLP universe? [longer story, about 100,000 words, maybe.]

The First Shadow Dragon:

Hey, did you know I have an OC, and that OC is a dragon? Well I do, his name is Senthorix. He is adorable, filled with hate, and has threatened two of my friends. Good times. This is his origin story/ life after the event of A Timberwolf For Forrester.

The Kelpie of Loch Sgian:

Its a Kelpie, in a Loch, doing as kelpie do {I have a dark imagination and love to keep things as accurate and true to the source as I can, take that for what you will.}

Dark Secrets: The Temple of Time:

I wrote part of the story in A New Life. It's Lovecraft MLP.

A Pony's Journey:

Journey (the video game) but with ponies.

The Vanishing of Applebloom:

The Vanishing of Ethan Carter, but with the Apple Family.

I Wish To Pay You

Poor choice, but hey, I need to eat. If no one responds, or if no one likes the options, I'll do a commission [I recommend against this, I'm not that good and commissioning me for anything less than around 10,000 words probably won't get you a good story as I can't write all that well {read as tell a good story} at sub 7,000 words].


So if you care to vote for what I put my effort towards, vote for your top three choices in order so I can gauge what you all would be interested in.
[I will do all of these eventually and hopefully posting the chapters for A Timberwolf For Forrester this month, I just want to get a read on how much of a priority I should make each of these. And again, A New Life and The Dark Origen of The Windigo take priority this month and will have new chapters by the end of the month {I hope I can actually keep that promise}.]


I'll be closing voting on Friday, June 14th

Dark Secrets: The Temple of Time.

Good song by the way

5069887
Any preferences for other stories if that one isn't as wanted as the others?

5069948
Anything that includes a human.

5069948 is a lazy Dargon!

Congrats! Stop playing the useless, unwanted Dragon here, we all know you are a softy inside and want the attention:rainbowwild:

So about the votes, I vote for :

That one story I promised that one person:

If you own somebody a story, you shall pay with a story!

My second one would have been the model Dragon, but givin your lazyness and that is would be a 100k word story, HELL NO! My grantchildren would have to wait for that to finish!

So instead, I choose:
The First Shadow Dragon, I mean Senthorix is an bad Dragon, but you and you readers like that story.

And third:
Do your Reviews and Editing and stuff!!!

Also keep on writing The Dark Origen of The Windigo, that story is interesting, JUST PROMOTE IT IN THE GROUPS YOU LAZY DRAGON OR I CALL FLUTTERSHY TO TAKE CARE OF YOU!:twilightangry2:

Here, have another follower. :rainbowdetermined2:

*huggles* Have a follower, we reviewers should support each other. Hmm...I think you should focus on the story you are feeling the most, rather than just one that gets the most votes.
:heart:

An Apples Honesty

I would like to see a story where Granny Smith is disabled, weather be physically or mentally

Here's the problem though, I want to write all of them. I have at least 3,000 words for each of these (save for the two commissions) so I want to see what the people that read my stuff want to see me do. And for me, i love to write stories/chapters that are 7,000 words or more so I probably won't be able to finish one of those in less than a week (assuming I don't get distracted). My greatest strength is also my achilles heel, I can't stand writing short things or posting things without them being edited, so 3+ week turn around for my stuff is no only common, it is basically my unwritten rule.
