Celestia XVII-3 Brainstorming Survey · 4:22pm Nov 12th, 2019
Hey everypony!
As you should already know, Celestia XVII: The Broken Princess wrapped up today. Look out for a postmortem blog post coming soon!
In the meantime: I've been coming up with some ideas for the sequel already, and I'm curious to know what you think! Here's a survey where you can respond to these ideas.
(Please note that there are some spoilers--if you're not current on the story itself, go finish it up first!)
Thanks!
Ah. I've honestly been letting this one sit so I didn't have to watch Celly slowly suffer. I'll get back to it soon.

Oh no! So sorry to drag you through that!
If it makes you feel any better: if/when I'm mean to my characters, I always try to make their suffering worth it in the end. As an author, I think it's worth it to kick them around a bit if they get a happy ending--especially a really happy one.
In Celestia's case (very minor spoilers), most of her conflicts come out of a lack of confidence in her own abilities. By the end of the story, she becomes a lot more confident and sure of herself by the end. This is the last time that I plan to use "Self doubt" as an antagonist.
Either way--I hope you enjoy the final product, and that it's worth the wait!
Oh fuck I completely forgot aaaa
