I can't think, my brain is in the way. · 10:49pm Dec 11th, 2012
The reason for my inactivity is that I am currently afflicted with a horrific case of writer's block. I started on what to write next, but now I am out of ideas, and it's too soon for me to use the twist. Therefore, Caring for the Sisters will not be updated for a while, but is NOT on Hiatus.
Sorry to hear that. I hate when writers block takes over. Scenarios: the sisters are taken on a camping trip, the sisters are taken on a picnic, the sisters are taken to a fair. In either scenario SHENANIGANS! I think part of the fun of this story are the mundane aspects of it, it's just a pony looking after a couple fillies. Try to think of some just everyday things, and put some sort of spin on it, be it hilarious or sad or a little of both. I'm not trying to pressure you into writing or anything, I'm just hoping this will help you out some. Another idea: the sisters try to play with other little ponies but are shunned because of their royalty and this makes them sad and gives them a realization that they aren't like others. Good luck with everything. BROHOOF and have some mustaches
I'm having severe writer's block on my fics as well.
Um, how about some kind of party/amusement park.
I'D PREFER SOME KIND OF FUN PINKIEPIE-STYLE BDAY PARTY FOR TIA
And have some additional mustaches and a derp
600461>>602381 Thank you both, but I actually was going to keep going with the Tumble Orb for one more chapter, and then move on. I have the MAIN POINT, but building around it is being a pain.
I kinda want to do a 'Tia isn't afraid of the Orb anymore and things are all okay now' thing.
604864 Sounds good to me
604876 I know, I just need something to center around it. Otherwise I'd have a five sentence narration. I hate those, and hypocrites, and that would make me a hypocrite who wrote a five sentence narration.
I just need to come up with something that's not drier than Route 111 in the summer. ( not getting the reference is fine)
605088 Maybe the Tumble Orb somehow saves Celestia so she's no longer afraid of it
605128 No, I was going for something a little more calm. I'm trying to make my fic exciting, but it's not an action-based fic. It's supposed to be cute/funny, just a bit dramatic at times too, but not too often.
605151 Maybe the orb can escape and start turning into cute animals to show it's safe or something
605163...I said funny, not 'so cheesy it's a deep-dish pizza'. And HOW THE HECK WOULD THAT HAPPEN? And does that mean that an inanimate object is SENTIENT? ...just a question, how much do you know about logic?
605183 Well the thing can apparently do a lot of crazy shit. I was just trying to give you some ideas, I didn't say go with it. As for logical, Cloud Dasher stored the orb in a safe place and after what happened I don't see him trying to get the sisters to play with it again. So unless it would involves something action oriented, or one of the sisters just getting curious and looking at it again by just finding where it was put away I can't think of any other way to have it return.
605250 No, he stored it in a safe place for LATER when things cool down. And the next chapter takes place 'later'. So the shock has worn of, but slight worry is still there. But it'll be okay. Besides, it was enchanted to adhere to different rules of physics, not BREAK them. It is (as stated) a combination of different enchantments that give it certain properties. It can NOT come alive, it can NOT think for itself or move on it's own (it must have a force acting upon it), left completely alone, it is a normal ball. It is only dangerous because it was being used without experience and therefore was just obeying the normal laws of physics that applied to it at the time. Take anything that can propel itself off of a surface (tree) at high speed, and you will see it ricochet with similar if not exact speed as it had before the time of first impact. Since that speed was so great, it was like hurling a bowling ball at the speed of about 10 MPS, not enough to hurt a very solid tree, but DEFINITELY enough to cause massive harm to any unarmored creature, such as a filly.
605312 Ok ok, sorry. Didn't mean to get you all riled up. Just trying to help is all, I like the story, and I know what it's like to have writer's block and it sucks.
605341 I know, but still, I try to apply logic, which is possible to do with objects that act as individuals to physics. I'm just saying that it's dangerous due to inexperience, it is not dangerous in and of itself.
605390 I honestly didn't factor that into it when I thought up the idea, I was just brainstorming.
605399 I understand, but I made rules for my world, and I intend to follow them. Unless you want another 'almighty, 100% awesome everyone loves me instantly Mr. Perfect OC' story. THAT'S why I have rules, and my characters in ALL my stories are (to a point) typical characters. They just have certain TRAITS that set them apart, not God-Like powers. Those stories go nowhere and they're just an ego-boost for the writer, when it's obvious they don't need one.
605869 Kay
605892 Yeah, rules are important, and I try to keep things believable. Although, I DO enjoy a bit of chaos. If life made sense ALL the time, I'd rather be DEAD than be so dang bored. But even when I get a little chaotic, I still adhere to rules. Cloud Dasher is not used to random fistfights, so he has no experience, so naturally, he lost to Hopper in the bar. He's a guard, but that training only covers certain scenarios, they hardly expect you to get into a slugfest with some random guy, so they don't train you for that. No training + No experience = no chance. Them's the rules of the world.
605916 I get that rules are important, I try to do that myself with my writings.
606092 yeah, being logical I'm good at, being cute though is different. I've never tried 'cute' before. Funny, yes. Crazy as all hell? You've seen my other fic, right? But cute is new.
