Words, words between the lines of age · 1:11pm Jan 31st, 2018
Yeah, I'm still going with other people's words for titles. But I wanted to share this and push that bummer of a last blog down stack.

As you may have noticed, the chapters I said would be out this weekend have not materialized. Sorry. I was on vacation, and I really didn't have time to work on writing. However, I did get this one chunk out that I don't think will quite fit in any of my projects right now. So, have this instead.

Y'know how words can cause associations that completely defy the intent of the creators of something?
Take Galarian ponyta. Cute, princess Celestia colored pokemon, right? Seems harmless enough.
Hello, it’s BlueHeartTattoo here! And finally, this time, this blog is not about fanfic updates! But this time though, I’m gonna do something different and a little fun (at least for me)
Apparently Wubcake was booted out of her grandmother because of a bad argument which the grandma put a restraining order.
Oh boy. We're getting too many good submissions for 127. As in, it's to the point where I'm not sure we'll be able to fully edit all of them in the time between the deadline and the publish the day AFTER. Like... we're already 36,000 words and there are several unfinished fics I am well-aware of.
NO ONE'S FICS ARE IN DANGER OF BEING CUT.
But, I am probably going to have to stop accepting new submissions at some point soon.
That friend is not willing anymore to work on the project with me.
I am currently going through my contacts for helpers, and hopefully sometime before next week I will have the chapter out.
So, I recently wrote a story entry for the QnS Random Act of Kindness challenge, 5 people entered, and I didn’t place. I honestly would not have been shocked if I came in last, because even though the other one that didn’t place was by a person with English as a nonprimary language, their story was tons better than my hot mess of a story.
Someone's dog needs help! Please donate and/or spread the word!
I'll be preparing my usual high-effort promo blast for the story pretty darn soon.
No, I didn't get 10k words per chapter. #sad
However, I got nearly 5k on one of them! I joined up my newest chapter with one chapter since it's still the same event. The cliffhangers aren't that bad. Each chapter has over 2k words except the prologue, but that always has less words so I shouldn't really feel annoyed.
...does word count affect how likely potential readers will, y'know, actually read it?
Some of you may not know this, but there's a Songs of the Spheres progress bar on the fimficiton group. Usually, there's three colors on this bar: green represents published, orange represents drafted, and red represents stuff I haven't touched yet. Well, this is what that bar looks like now.
Up until now, I've been using the Notes application on my iPad to write my stories, though I often used the word processor on Fimfiction to do most of my editing.
And then iOS 9 happened.
The app would crash in the middle of long writing sessions, and I would lose a good hour or so worth of work, with no way of recovering it, as the crashes occurred because the app was trying to send me an email with the contents of the document.
Currently the chapter comes in at 10k. I thought about releasing it where it's at right now, but I think it needs at least one more scene after the one I'm currently on. My PPSEFF (Pre-reader Proofreader Sometimes Editor Friend Forever) said a couple things that made me think about the pacing, and I decided the story needs to be sped up a bit, so the next chapter will see things moving along faster than they have.
Dual Stories: Twilight's Zone - and - ETERNAL PURPLE HUNGER
It's a fun little story that should be interesting to anyone who wants to become a better author because, and I can honestly say this, I have never seen anything like it.
So, I decided to change the style a bit. Instead of having them be full pony with pokemon like features, and an extra set of ears in the mane, I decided to make them ponyesque, with pokemon ears, pokemon hair and tail, extra fur sections, and, if the pokemon has them, claws. Etc. I am also going to make them look less filly like. So, here is Flareon.
There is the possibility of two new chapters (just ask Ikio star) coming soon. In the mean time, all you all have some Genbu fan art. I would imagine that this is HB giving me of the look of "Can I has chapters now?" Enjoy.
