Dear Bronies and Pegasisters,
Dear Bronies and Pegasisters,
All right, I guess it is about time I get a bit of info out here.
As you may have noticed, it's gone quiet around here, which is for several reasons. Yes, by now I have to admit, I'm a bit burned out on A Silver Summer, yet I still have all the ideas in my head and am looking to one day conclude it. Also, my creative attention has shifted drastically to Zootopia over the past year, which is important for reasons explained below.
[laughs nervously] So… now you can get an exclusive behind-the-scenes insight on the creation of this story!
NOTE: Brief notes (yes, I mean it this time!) on the revised version are at the blog post's bottom.
As these are extensive Author's Notes for this fanfiction, here's an adorable image of its two main characters to, alongside pushing all the behind-the-scenes info below the break, also brighten up your day!
If you thought this was about something different, that’s your fault.
Ponies love snow.
"WHAT IS MORE IMPORTANT, YOUR FAMILY or YOUR HEROISM?"
That old contradicting plot of conscience and priority still goes at it.
A hero has a family, friends, things in a normal life, but almost all the time they forsake them to jump into action because the world needs them more.
More random horse facts than you can shake a stick at!
And if that wasn’t enough, I never sent it to my pre-readers, who might have questioned my sanity, or if you can follow an en dash with an em dash.
So far I have two stories I'm working on for a series. I'm not sure what to name it yet though.
The first one that I'm working on and waiting to publish is 'My Little Pony: Friends Are Forever'.
The second one is a sequal to it and wont be coming out until I have completed the first one. It's called, 'My Little Pony: Generations Of Friends'.
First off, let me thank my pre-readers! AShadowOfCygnus, metallusionismagic, MSPiper, and MrZJunior!
A couple thoughts on Rainbow Roadtrip. Nothing majorly spoiler-related, but still, under the cut.
I lured some of you here by false pretenses! The horror!
Well, only slightly false pretenses, as those of y’all who’ve been around for a while know, when the Admiral is stressed out you get cute ponies.
Therefore, let me present a 6.4L engine replacement, a photo essay.
On the 4th day of Christmas, my true love gave to me... 4 dead nutshack memes...
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.
Sorry for the delay in these notes . . . I simply didn’t have time to finish them, what with everything else that was going on.
Especially once the addition of my hot water heater leaking threw yet another wrench in the works.
So, this has been a work years in the making. I was going to wait until chapter 2 was completely finished before publishing this, but then I got a nice comment from FanOfMostAnything of all people asking if there was more, and I guess that motivated me to go ahead and put it up. Thanks Fan!
It wouldn't be Bronycon without at least one Biscuit fic!
If you read the story before you got here, you won't be surprised to find out that this one's inspired by my drive from Michigan to Baltimore.
It's long past time to talk about my trip to Ocean City MD for SeaquestriaFest last May. This is actually gonna be more about the trip than the con itself, and it's gonna have story notes for In Her Wheelhouse at the end as well, since there's some overlap.
But first, get yourself a drink and get comfy!
