So as i wanted to run through the everfree forest bit, i got my horn stuck in an writer's block.

... though it might as well have been a wall.

it's been... what? months now? since i last wrote. luckily enough for me i don't have a large audience... three or so? but still i think it's a good time to let you guys in on a few things that bother me.

1. rewriting an area i've already worked long past in my mind is hard to do. it's like doing the tutorial of a game that you just can't skip. you wanna play the game, but the tutorial just bores the crap out of you that you can't move on any further.

2. I've bumped into a few issues with the grey-fur side effect. I don't intend on changing that plot point at all, but the shade of grey is what troubles me. At first i lightened up the dark fur to change it from black to dark grey [i can't help it. clean story or not it's a sexy look i think XD]. However, the explanation as to why the fur is dark grey is because it was meant to be a colour. now i don't know about you guys, but i can't possibly write about meteor guise unless i've got every design aspect covered. So i had to think of what he WOULD have looked like if the process had worked just fine and everything was hunky dory. Turns out there wasn't a single combination i could think of that looks nice. dark blue would be the most logical and the only thing that went with his mane and eyes, but still doesn't look appealing...

So i recently saw season 3 episode one. And i felt Sombrero's design was absolutely gorgeous! [wished my story wasn't PG now... would loooove to force meteor into a totally gay encounter with sombre XD] Then i had an idea. his design is still as appealing to me with a much lighter shade of grey than meteor's previous design, and it would allow for his intended fur coat to be of a nice light blue that doesn't clash nearly as much as the dark blue! i slightly lightened the hair so as to not stand out too much, and i think that during my process of trying to chip away at this writer's block, i've lightened up meteor enough to shut up all naysayers!! ^/)(\^ *hoofclaps*

So i'm going to take a few more looks at meteor's story. and think of some alternate ideas to make him move on from here, so as to catch my own interest once again. Him having a migraine at this point should make him rethink using magic until he's had a proper sleep again [also note, by the time he's out of the everfree forest, the story is taking a different path than the previous submission, so it should make for fully new reading from there on.

Hope i can make good on my word this time... much love! ^^/)
