what's up y'all?
i'll start by saying that school has kept me from you for a long while now, and even though i am currently in the throws of 4 summer courses, i'm itching to write more for Family Tree, and some of my other stories too, but mostly FT.
i wanted to jump-start my writing brain the other day, so i took a stab at writing the final chapter. still a little ways off, but as i've said before, i know how all of this is going to end. and it worked! i'm raring to write and the newest chapter is almost done. i'm sorry i was away for so long, but just know that my school efforts are going to be worth it very soon. i'll be graduating soon, and (i'm working towards teaching so,) i'll be starting student teaching in the fall (provided i pass all of my summer classes) so maybe by winter i'll have a full-time job!
i hate leaving you guys hanging for so long, and i don't want you to lose interests in my stories. i've been thinking about some kind of goofy side-stories for Family Tree? Like technically canon stories but not necessary to read to understand the larger stories. Lottie has a night out with the Mane 6 (including karaoke), Lottie meets some diamond dogs, Lottie and Pinkie get pranked by Discord, etc. Maybe one side story that has multiple, separate chapters? would anyone be interested in that?
i'm also interested in doing a Dreamweaver sequel where Weavy and Celestia have a chat, continuing Harvest Moon, and i have some incomplete one-shots in the mix, as well as some i've yet to put to paper (figuratively speaking) including (some off which i've mentioned in previous blog posts), but not limited to:
- Luna meets Celestia's secret family (comedy)
- Scales: Spike visits his old piano teacher (drama, maybe?) [started]
- The Other: The mane 6 find a feral filly in a cave and try to help her adjust to life, doesn't go as planned (drama) [started]
- A young colt's relationship with his farmer neighbor's cows as he attempts to make his own ice cream (slice of life?)
- A stallion whose special talent is restoration, looking to remake a portrait of Luna before she comes back pre-series and his conflict with Celestia over this (drama)
- I Have Made a Mistake: Discord challenges Fluttershy to drinking contest (no magic), not knowing that pegasi have the highest alcohol tolerance (Comedy with a dash of shipping)
- Big Brother Best Friend Not Always: Twilight, trying to help two crystal pony siblings reconnect, learns that before Shining Armor was her BBBFF, he kind of hated her guts (not as serious as it sounds, hard to categorize this one) [2/3 written]
- Unwanted: Blueblood is a snot like always and gets put at the loser table at a big fundraiser and meets a mare who is just as much of a social pariah as he is, but for very different reasons (Romance and Sad) [started]
- And one story i'm not sure about writing, Enough Love: where Twilight discovers that Shining and Cadence (pre-Flurry Heart) have a mutual romantic partner and she's not really okay with it, a.k.a. Cadence explains poly relationships to Twilight and purple horse is shook (very tasteful, Romance/Drama)
let me know your thoughts, and glad to be back!
