Well, Yeah... · 2:21am Dec 11th, 2012
Wow. I'm gone for a total of one day, and the site is turned inside out. Of course, it wasn't exactly unnexpected, Knighty said it was coming. And it is shiny, and the new banners were chosen well. But it seems from just a brief check that nothing is really working at the moment. Blog posts and chapters disappearing, unpublished chapters visible, the messaging system not working right... It sounds to me like Knighty forgot this thing called the test stage, you know, between the programming and the publishing stages? Well, maybe that isn't possible for websites of this sort, I honestly don't know anything about programming (though my dad won't stop bugging me to learn...), so I shall give Knighty the benefit of the doubt for now. Once the site gets working right, I'll be happy. I do miss the old layout... but I also miss my old shoes, even though they were literally falling apart. Sometimes we must get used to the new, and I do like the new layout, and think some things are for the better. For instance, the features box can no longer capture me, for it is confined to the main page! Wahahahahaha!
Now, about my writing. I am stuck on Orphans. It isn't a "I don't know where this is going" type of stuck, it's more of an "I'm horrible with dialog and emotionally attached to the story so I keep rewriting the same conversation over and over again" type of stuck. I have therefore taken some time away from the story so I can come back to it with a new perspective. In the meantime, I continue to plot out my Doctor Whooves fic, which would be the most epic thing ever if I could write it satisfactorily, and so that I actually get words down, I have started a story that I shall intentionally not become emotionally invested in so that I'm not afraid to post chapters that aren't perfect. I actually have the first chapter done, but I'm going to wait a couple of days to post it until the current site turmoil simmers down.
Also, I have no idea who to ask, so I'll just put it here where nopony will see it. Do the MLP-FIM comics count as cannon? There's only one issue out right now, but it has some interesting implications if it is cannon.
Adios, alegre delfín!
