    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

Next LDFS Chapter Poll · 11:25pm Mar 11th, 2020

Hello all, I hope you are doing well. I am pleased to say that I have gotten my next chapter for Luster Dawn Friendship Successor hand written, though I want to take a poll as to what everyone thinks before I type and publish it. I have the next chapter set up to taking place a few years after Luster has enrolled in the school of magic. A little before the Last Problem, I at first thought it would be best to get to the good part which will be closer to the action. But maybe I need to take a little more time?

The next chapter I have planned will involve Twilight taking Luster's class on a field trip to the Crystal Empire where Flurry Heart's Coronation as the new ruler is about to take place. But there's one problem. The Crystal Hearts been stolen!

This will likely be a small arc in the story taking 2 to 3 chapters. Should I go ahead with it or maybe do a little more time at the school of magic beforehand? It might be a little boring to just show magic lectures and stuff though. What do you guys think?

Hmmmm... I think your idea is quite interesting, but at the same time, try not to spend too much time on the school of magic. I think it would be best if you set just a small portion of that time just to establish Luster’s character a little more that could lead the way to her trip to the Crystal Empire. Any thoughts on that?

Yeah, I was kind of working on that. I'm gonna show Luster being a real bookworm like Twilight. And she's kind of annoyed with the whole friendship thing which keeps popping up. After all, her parents work at a school of friendship, and live in a castle of friendship. She prefers to spend her time reading like Twilight did in her debut. And in the end of the trip once the heart is recovered Twilight can become aware that Luster has missed the most important lesson, setting up the stage for what we were shown in the last problem.
