That pony... · 3:17am Mar 7th, 2021
sure does love muffins.
So it seems that I have returned from hell alive. Yay me. But alas, I come back to see that well nothing has changed on my story. No feed back what so ever, frankly I'm disappointed. But not everything can be perfect unlike my plan to take over the universe... I mean whaaaat? But on a happyer note I pulled a derpy this morning. Yea yea I know your thinking how many are dead? But none of that happened. (THANK CELESTIA!) I ate 7 muffins for breakfast. They were soooo good. But
3,500 authors on the list. Which means 3,500 people I've poked with the bookshelf notification! Yes, truly I live the dream. I've bothered thousands of people without resorting to social media.
Part of the challenge I gave myself with Muffins at the End of the Universe was writing an a confined environment. When your resources are limited it can sometimes lead to the best ideas, so for the first two stories I limited myself to working within the interior of the crashed pod, the Doctor's laboratory being a prime source of plot material. Rules are there to be broken however, and so Year Zero sees Twilight, Trixie, Derpy and Doctor Whooves venture outside the pod for the first time. Of
Cranky: "You told me you could make invitations at half the price, and then you deliver them with the wrong invitation?!"
Derpy: "Muffin?"
My fifth story is up, and my lesson learned is that again, deadlines are a good thing. It is teaching me to be creative on a schedule, and in the world of publishing, you have to complete stories and sell them.
I am quite proud of No Fault of Her Own. It took plenty of thought about Muffin's character to be able to channel the essence of her personality and purpose in life. Both her story and the title came to me both within the same five minutes.
Hey Wispers!
So if you haven't already, please go read my story, Derpy's Muffin! If not, this may have mild spoilers.
After Chapter 2, when they are supposed to head to Sugarcube Corner, what should go down with Mrs. Cake, Derpy, Twilight, and Doctor Whooves?
I have some ideas for you to vote on:
-Should a huge fight break out between Mrs.Cake, and Derpy, Doc, and Twilight?
-Should Mrs. Cake realize her mistake?
-Should Mrs. Cake come up with an excuse?
I'm sorry for being behind. Here's my other days, to catch up.
Pinkie Pie
Pinkie Pie is my favorite main character, due to her spunky personality, and logic-defying ways. I would personally like to come to one of her parties someday.
Just posting to say yes, Im still here and yes, I'm still doing pony related things. Im going to cover a few different topics here: Three Stones Lake, A new story, and art things. Also holy hell am I inactive here.
First: Three Stones Lake
Thanks for the responses, everyone! Here are the results of my informal poll the other day, asking for the name of a certain gray pegasus:
Derpy Hooves - 14
Ditzy Doo - 4
Muffins - 3
Bright Eyes - 1
Inigo Montoya - 1
Other - 6
One of the things I was unsure about with Trixie Times Two was Derpy's inclusion. She didn't really do a lot plot wise or character wise and I feel on reflection like there was no need for her to even be there. I figured if I'm going to keep her in this series, her character needs to be explored a lot more. But what is her character? Being obsessed with muffins to me is not a character trait; it's just a quirk. The main thing I got from her portrayal in Slice of Life, is her bond with Doctor
Deliciously healthy, aren't they? Yeah, I don't want to have them either.....
Ditzy Doo Loves Muffins
I enjoy eating muffins
I like them big and small
If you get me a dozen
Then I will eat them all
There is much I like about muffins
Their soft texture and sweet taste
Cold or fresh out of the oven
In my mouth they will be placed
Sometimes I'll set them out to cool
But with their enticing scent so fast entrapping
In eager anticipation I'll start to drool
Howdy folks! Got something a little different today, but first, in case you haven't been following, here is a list of fics reviewed in the last 4 entries:
-#1: The Kidnapping of Twilight Velvet; Give a Like, Feed a Changeling; and Weatherpony
Ever wanted to ride an MLP theme park ride?
So I'm drafting up the next few chapters and I got to thinking. I want to be as close to canon as possible, but I still want to take liberties when I can. I've come up with a lot of compromises and work arounds for most of my more... context abusing plans. However, I do want to ask the readers one thing in regards to what I do.
Should I let Vinyl talk?
