The Sentient Cloud


I'm The Sentient Cloud, a now-retired fanfiction writer from New Zealand. If you're looking at this, then you've probably already found your way to either "The Piano Man" or "Those Who Came Before".

    Updates on /everything/

    Okay, so as a little note: I am still around, and I am still working on the final Piano Man Chapter.
    But, that brings me to an interesting point, that being; I'm not entirely sure I'll keep writing for FIMFiction once it's over. I'm not saying I won't, but it's a possibility.

    Hard at Work

    I know I've been very quiet update-wise as of late, so I feel it's best that I put up a quick blog post.

    As per normal, Those Who Came Before is still on hiatus until I've put out these last two Piano Man chapters. I just felt I should reaffirm that. The first of the two-part epilogue for The Piano Man: Act II is close to completion too. I apologize for the long wait.

    Google "The Piano Man"

    Every now and then, I Google my stories, just to see how far down the list they pop up. Obviously, The Piano Man has never been high on the search results unless you include 'FIMfiction' in the search bar.

    But...

    Seriously. What.
    WHAT.

Those Who Came Before · 11:37am Nov 28th, 2012

Title says it all. My new human story, pretty much.

Okay, Piano Man readers: You may wonder why you've been tagged for this blog. I know it may be a shameless plug... but, well: I did write up Those Who Came Before with you guys in mind. I'm not going to ask you to read it, but I just thought I should say that.
Seriously. It doesn't matter. Feel free to ignore this. I just wanted to tell you all.

I feel really bad plugging my story like this.

You are allowed to plug anything you write however you wish. I am reading it now in fact... Well I'm taking a moment to type this, but afterwards I'm reading it, despite the fact I should be getting some sleep but hey that's what coffee is for. See that? I give my own circadian rhythm the middle finger in favor of reading your stuff. dl.dropbox.com/u/31471793/FiMFiction/emoticons/misc_Lyra_dealwithit.png

548120 Thanks for the consolation, but I still feel bad. The Piano Man viewers didn't favorite the story to be spammed blog posts plugging my other stories, which makes me feel guilty. It's just that th story is VERY close to breaking into the feature box, and I think that it's a good piece of writing that people would enjoy, which is making me desperate to get it there.

Even if it doesn't get featured, I'll probably still try for EqD. And If that fails? I suppose I'll just focus on The Piano Man.

I shall read it then, after all whats the chance of you painting my favorite ponies in a bad light twice in a row? :duck: :trixieshiftright:

Well given that this is going out to people who have willing watched you it is kind of your purview to suggest us try something. In theory, we watched you because either we like a story of yours or like your writing style. In either case the odds of you producing a second (or multiple) stories that may interest us is higher than in general. It doesn't guarantee it, but gives us better than average odds I feel. So as long as you don't plug it more than once I don't feel like you've done anything bad.

I'm skeptical because usually when an author runs multiple stories at once the quality in all of them starts dropping (If I could only count the number of times authors have said "That'll never happen with me I swear!") but if we liked your style before we should again, depending of course.
