    Scarred Serpentine: Completed!

    I keep forgetting to make blog posts but here we are anyway! So Scarred Serpentine has finally been completed; most of the things I want to say has been placed in the author's note in the last chapter. I had lots of fun making this fic, and it was a challenge for me too in

    Scarred Serpentine: Act III Now Out

    I forgot to make a new blog post, but here I am anyway! Chapter 24 and therefore Act III has been released :scootangel: Act II took longer than I thought to be honest, but Act III has a lot of shorter chapters I can publish within intervals of a few days. I have interesting things planned for this Act, and it'll definitely contain unexpected turns here and there. Like I said, I'll see if I can

    Random Thoughts on My Little Pony: A New Generation

    So I've watched the new movie twice 2 days ago and here are my thoughts (spoilers ahead duh):

    • Animation is great! G5 animation looks way better in motion than in stills.

    Scarred Serpentine: Changes to Chapter 12

    I changed a few things in Chapter 12—mostly minor details to clarify events that happen throughout the story. There was one major change, though: I made Feather and River's conversation at the end while drinking tea longer. Other than that, I don't think any previous readers would need

    Scarred Serpentine: Act II's First Chapter is Out!

    A bit of a wait, and many changes made, but I finally got around to publishing Chapter 11.:twilightsmile: It's an interesting chapter to say the least, despite not many things truly happening yet (It's more of an introductory chapter to when Feather and River arrive at Bocoltá).

Scarred Serpentine: Completed! · 7:37am Dec 5th, 2021

I keep forgetting to make blog posts but here we are anyway! So Scarred Serpentine has finally been completed; most of the things I want to say has been placed in the author's note in the last chapter. I had lots of fun making this fic, and it was a challenge for me too in many ways (this is the first fic I made that's over 100k words!) Let's see what the future holds, who knows? :twilightsheepish:

How exciting! Congratulations on finishing and going the distance!

Thanks :pinkiehappy: Now you have an idea as to how long left there is to read!

To be honest it is much longer, and I had gotten much further, than I had realized. Haha. It’s crazy sometimes how the word count adds up!

Yeah when I started writing I thought it would reach 80-90k, then I thought it would reach 120k before I removed some filler

I have never had a clue about word counts when I began writing a story. I mean… but can have a sense of relative length, but… maybe I haven’t written enough to have that sense exactly.

I also haven’t had filler? Not to say that everything is vital, but… I dunno. It’s all relevant? I’m sure I’ve got things that could be taken out of some stories, but… if it isn’t part of the plot, it is getting to know characters. I did do a series of dream sequences once that some people got tired of… maybe it’s just me and I just don’t see it, haha.

To be fair I planned extensively for Scarred Serpentine, and like I said I've written before so I usually know how my writing goes.

Filler has something to do with the efficiency of the storytelling as a whole, not just the plot. Everything may be relevant, but some things are more than others!
