Real Talk 2 · 4:21am Nov 13th, 2019
Hey guys/gals. as my more dedicated would know, I am currently in college with an anti brony as my roomate. However, I have come across a question. In my time on this site, the story that has soared has been H-44 Germania. As you know I have been trying to brainstrom new ideas, as well as recently posting a possible idea to edit H-44. Yet none of these seem to grasp as well as H-44. Why is this? Is this all I'm good for? A single story is the only thing people shall like from me? Even when I suggest alternate military based content it doesn't seem to work. Ieven recently considered doing an AU to H-44 that runs alongside it that has elements from the anime Kantai Collection, and Azur Lane. SO I please wish to know why nothing else can please you. I so desperately wish to please you, but I cannot just continue on one story alone.
Hope to hear from you,
Sanguine
(P.S. I am letting you know that I allow for anyone to use the H-44 universe/concept so long as I am credited so do not fear to write a story based on it)
No i think is a good ide
I honestly don't know what drew me to H-44. Picked it up randomly from the front page one day and enjoyed what the concept could be and have been watching it unfold since.
There isn't really a magic bullet to what stories grab people, at least that I've seen on here so far. The story of mine I thought would do better languishes in the views while the insane one I came up with on a whim people are enjoying and I really don't understand why. My only thoughts on that are that I am having fun making the crazy one, while the other was written while I was very depressed. And it shows through in both stories.
The point you raised that concerned me and particularly prompted me to respond was how you said you want to please others with your writing most of all. I am yet to read your other stories, mostly because my read later shelf is crying with how much is in there, but one thing I can tell from only having read H-44 is that you enjoy telling the story along with all its intricacies. Reading it, I can feel your passion for it and that brings a power to it that cannot be denied.
Writing is an odd thing because it is really one of those things where what you are doing must please you first of all, the enthusiasm you give to it then gets picked up by the reader and you drag us along with you.
I hope that makes sense and doesn't discourage you. Trust me, I'm just as confused by what catches people and what doesn't. I truly hope you continue to write and challenge yourself because, who knows, your next piece may just be the one that everyone loves, even if you can't figure out why.
And people may just like old fashion war vehicles like the battleship in equestria no fancy magic or thing from anime just the beautify of heavy fire power and you could write story like this one but with a ace tank commander with a tank division is brot to equstria to help them and you could do civil war, ww1 and ww2 soilders and vehicles to equstria to help fight or to free equstria for tyrnts

I thought you didn't like it? Your comment on the alternative didnt sound very impressed with it
5154543
It is a good idea you but not for this story you could do a story with this idea
5154541
Thats so kind of you. I haven't told my fans until today, but I've had emotional problems (Depression, constant thoughts of inferiority, writers block) and being in college doesn't help. Hell the school psychologist can't see me until the 3rd of December. So when noone throws in their two cents on my content I fear that I'm not doing enough. So I thank you for this comment
5154547
Oh I had thought of more military ideas but noobody commented on them. Do any o these intruigue you?
Idea 1
a group of soldiers are teleported from the "Ruthless war" which in this alternate timeline is The Great War in this timeline stretching on into the time of the Second World War. The group is teleported when they are hit with an attack of what is thought to be gas and so they put on the masks only to start fading away and are unconscious upon arrival in Equestria. The group is started in the enemy lines fighting Equestria when they see a town under attack and fire on the soldier assuming them to be central powers. The townsfolk think them Equestrian and so now the enemy thinks them as some strange Equestrian division and the Equestrians think they are a group of rebelling soldier and try to contact them.
Idea 2 (Slice of life and lighthearted)
A group of tanks is transported to Equestria and become ponies. While they do fight the story is mainly the hi-jinks of tanks trying to fit in to society. They have accents according to their nationality and characteristics of their country(not stereotypes) as well as flaws that reflect th flaws the tanks had like being heavy but weak fast but easily injured that kind of thing.
Idea 3 (A mix of the previous in terms of serious moments and lighthearted times.)
a person is displaced in Equestria as a world war II tank. They speaks through the internal radio or they can revv the engine in a morse code pattern to communicate. They can move and shoot on their own but needs others to fuel up or add more ammo into the tank.

Those are awsome idea i love them all and i real like idea 3 and 2 and sorry for not see thros ideas i work for my grandpa on the farm and i just look at the story i follow to see if thay up data and i get a lot of blogs form people i folloe so i cant read them all
5154555
okay. these came out a while back in my blogs so now it makes more sense. Project 131(the progress title for Idea 2) was started but never got off the ground due to no body telling me what they thought about it
5154559
Ok and the tanks what war will thay be from and again sorry for not see this awsome ideas and i hope you have good days at college

For Idea 2, Im not sure. I thought just WW1 but now I question if I should throw in a WW1 design that everyone calls Gramps. That or I could simply throw an Italian tank in that everyone makes fun of for being as old as the last war. I just didn't want to do some of the tanks that are first thought of like Tigers out of fear of being unoriginal(and that tank has been talked about to death). The only confirmed things about 131 is that there would be five tanks and each nation only gets one tank design no matter the nation
I know what it feels like to live with an Anti-Brony. In my case, it's my brother.

Well he doesn’t hate it just doesn’t care for it. So gotta tip toe my way round the subject near him
5154633
Awkward.

I know I tend to use the term a lot, but trust me, you get more feedback here than pretty well any publisher will give you for original works. Especially with rejection.
Life truly can be a struggle, but the beautiful thing about writing is that you are in control of what you create. It is a good outlet for such times, even if you make a piece just to vent. I know not getting feedback can suck, but often it can mean people are enjoying what you've written and don't actually know what could be improved with it. That, or like me, I'm looking forward to when H-44 gets into the meat of the story. You have a strong start. I hope to see more soon.
But, saying that, take your time. Try to force something that doesn't fit into the story and the story will fight back.
Remember, only you can truly write the stories you want to read. Sharing them takes courage. Be proud of every piece you do. It all adds up in the picture of your ever-improving skill. I know a lot of that can sound cheesy but it really is true.
