    April, with many a day…

    So I just spent from the third through today (sort of, still have some driving to do) on holiday. Went to Dallas to see the Eclipse in totality, swung though Hot Springs for… well, the hot springs, and finally St Louis for a lovely riverboat dinner before bidding the Boyfriend farewell and starting the trip home.

    Well, I started it...

    All Good Things... has commenced. I may have a chapter of it up tonight.

    I really want to start closing out the unfinished stories, but sometimes you just can't get back into the flow for them. Sorceress and the Siren is one, Into the Wilds is another. Which is sad cause I love writing Azure.

    Homecoming, in retrospect.

    Homecoming as a series is a glorious mess. I’ve gone on short bits of fluff, created some … unique ships, twisted the fabric of canon EqG, and even touched on some dark topics.

    Don't you just hate it...

    When you can't find something when you need to?

    Case in point, I went looking for a comment where they alluded to It being like Frodo saving the Shire for everyone but himself and had to sail to another land to find solace.

    But I can't remember what fic or anything else.

    And it's frustrating to me.

    Meanwhile, in other news...

    For those wondering....

    I am working on Truth.

    “What are you doing here?” Sunset stammered as she gazed at her father. Emotions swirled inside of her, a maelstrom of feelings. Confusion, certainly. Some anger, long-simmered and cooled into bitterness. A bit of joy, but just a tiny bit.

    Mostly confusion though.

    Red rubbed the back of his neck. “It’s a long story,” he hedged.

Adoption · 12:27am Dec 9th, 2019

Yesterday, I adopted a fic.

It is the second sequel to the story that brought me to FimFiction in the first place; How the Sunset Sparkles by Scipio Smith.

For various reasons, none of which are important to this blog and because they explained themselves in a post back in 2015, this and a handful of other stories were left incomplete and offered for adoption. This series, as explained above, holds a special place in my heart and I wanted to see it finished.

However, with it being so early in the story, not much plot has been developed. I have notes from Scipio and some ideas, but I want to let you know that while I will try to hew to the general pathway they intended, it may deviate a bit just because of the new writer. If any of you followed this series, let me know your thoughts.

I feel a little like Sanderson might have when asked to complete The Wheel of Time series after Robert Jordan passed.

I hope I do it justice.

Good on you Rose! :raritywink:
I can't wait to see what you do. :twilightsmile:
I'm a huge fan of both you and Scipio. :pinkiehappy:

I've actually followed that series, and I'm looking forward to seeing it finished in anyway possible. You'll do fine, your work is WELL above average, and I just wish a few other stories would be adopted as well. There are so many good ideas that get started and just fade away unfinished as inspiration and/or a real life problem arises. I wish you the greatest luck, and I'll be lurking in the shadows as always

There was a Harry Potter fanfic that was adopted. It was a dark fic that deviated midway through Goblet of Fire. It was fantastic, and the author stopped writing it while writing the sequel and the person that adopted it, seems to have gone the way of the original writer. I hope you can do this story justice and not go the way of the original.

I've not read the parent story (yet), but I trust in your ability Rose. I'm sure it'll prosper under your pen (keyboard?).

I have been waiting for what feels like forever for the story to be completed and I am eager to read it. As for your ability you can truly do this story justice

I have the utmost faith!

I am so happy this story is being continued, thank you.

full faith and god speed.

seems i'll never catch up to whats on this site, glad you're bringing up some of the good stuff.
