    Taking this week off

    Okay, so I hit a major milestone with the recent chapter of Element of Balance. So I think now is probably a fair time to take a little break and do some editing on that and my other fanfic. So, no new chapter this week. But I'll back next one for sure. I know last blog post I said I fixed the mistake with Steel Gold's name being changed to Gold Steel, but I actually like the sound of that better

    Steel and Gold Mix up

    Okay so I had a little mix up with my unicorn thief character's name these past couple weeks that I just became aware of. I had Steel Gold set as the name in the chapters of Element of Balance, but it seems I switched to Gold Steel in the last two chapters where finally gets caught. Well I just edited the last two chapters to have it be Steel Gold. He does steal gold after all. But Gold Steel

    Where to go now

    Okay, so the next canon section of Element of Balance will be Winter Wrap Up. But first we're gonna need quite a few original chapters to cover the space between that. I don't think we really need a Nightmare Night, though that could be fun I suppose bit we'd have to not have Luna in this one. That can wait till next season/year with Luna Eclipsed. What would be a costume for Fire? Maybe a lion

    Call of the Cutie Alternate Version

    Okay so for those of you who have been keeping up with Element of Balance, I'm going to be doing an alternate version of Call of the Cutie in which the CMC's already know each other and are already best friends. This avoids the contradiction in canon which deviates from the premiere episode where they are shown hugging each other in fright at the sight of Nightmare Moon.

    Coming Sooner then Expected

    Okay, so my last blog post stated that I wouldn't be doing another chapter for Element if Balance for another two weeks. But its going to be coming sooner after all. I managed to finish the final chapter for my Pokémon fanfic a week ahead of schedule. It was supposed to be three separate chapters but ending up being just one. Well that means Element of Balance will now be updating weekly if I can

Changing the first Chapter · 7:20pm Nov 30th, 2019

Hey guys.

I hope you have enjoyed the next chapter of my current story Luster Dawn Friendship Successor. Though I plan to make some major changes to it and am a little torn on how to go about it. One commenter felt it was a bit rushed and I could use more character development as well as an argument between Starlight and Sunburst, and Trixie's role as a godmare foalsitting Luster.

My two ideas are:

1. Show more of Luster's time as a baby, I've started something with that where Starlight's holding her and talking about things as well as worrying. Then she and Sunburst can go out that night to give Starlight a break from parenting and Sunburst a break from the school. Trixie foalsits Luster who causes a little trouble similar to Pumpkin cake in Baby cakes which I just watched.

2. Have Starlight take her role as a mother so seriously she doesn't let Trixie foalsit until the part where they get the acceptance letter? Trixie can tell Luster stories of how she and Starlight 'bravely" took on Chrysalis (in her little tall tales). Luster wants to be like her mother more than ever and prove herself, so she runs off to the Everfree forest to find a monster to fight?

For my characters traits I have planned:

Starlight: Overprotective mother who worries about her daughter getting in danger or becoming bad like she did.

Sunburst: Wants Luster to succeed where he failed and get into Celestia's school for Gifted Unicorns.

Luster: Wants to please her two talented parents and measure up to them.

Well what do you guys think?
