So this is my first blog post on FiMfic in... WOW, 5 years since I joined. Not the best way I wanted to start this at, but meh, whatever. The reason I'm posting this is because I wrote up a storm today. And considering my writing habits, 4k is a lot of words. The scene from chapter for just keep nagging and nagging at me to write it, so there's not much progress in the cover art. So here's a teaser to make up for it. For anyone who's there to read it, that is...
Over the years, I’ve found there is an inverse relationship between how much I enjoy writing a clopfic, and how much I can write on it in one sitting. Ironically, but perhaps not surprisingly, the more fun it is, the less time I can spend on it for reasons I’m sure everybody can guess. That’s actually a good sign for the story, for when I enjoy writing something, it tends to turn out quite well, even if it ends up being a bit late.
Apologies for not having the chapter out this past weekend as I hoped. Unfortunately, work picked up big time last week, requiring me to work extra hours, and the new chapter(s) of C&C I was working with fell by the wayside for a bit while I concentrated on my day job. It might not be letting up much either given we’re trying to hit an end-of-month deadline here, so my writing efforts are likely to suffer a bit. But, gotta pay the bills.
And with apologies, I had to break it up again, meaning the ending M-rated scene will be shunted to the next chapter. For those who were ready and eager for that scene after all the hints I was dropping, my apologies, but the combined chapter had once again exceeded 20k words even with the ending scene not even half-done.
Got it up over 8500 words now, with probably another 5-6k to go. Yep, gonna be another big one, like all the griffon chapters. Among (many) other things, I’m taking pains to touch on everybody else present so you can get an update on what’s going on with them, including the Shadowbolt girls and our illustrious school heads.
And since I mentioned that I’d be using a new narrative device in an earlier blog, I’ll give you a sneak preview of it, told (as always) through Sunset’s point of view:
053 Annoucing: Arcane Realms update!
Remember that one story about Spike at Princess Celestia's School for Gifted Individuals? There's more to it than just the original chapter, soon to be revealed! Pics or it won't happen, you say? Very well, then!
Yes, you're seeing this right!
Hello to all the good people reading my blog and specialy the (currently) 53 loyal souls who are tracking my story In Nomine. It took me God Emperor damn 3 years, the advice of a very good friend and the writing lessons of a Mr. James Paterson to get the ol´cogitator up and running again, but here we go again.
So I've been getting electroshock lately. Initially it wasn't working well because they did it too far to the front, to avoid my neurostimulator which is in the right side of my face.
082 Announcing: Arcane Realms update!
078 Announcing: Arcane Realms update!
Where I come from, September is when the school year starts. You'll never guess what else is coming back.
About a month or so ago I hinted at a large project of 10,000+ words coming soon. Well, now it's out and this has got to be one of my favorite stories so far. It's epic. It's witty. It's also very tragic with plenty of drama that's become a staple of my stories. While the barest concept (Sombra's banishment) is nothing new, this of course is filled with many twists and turns. There's plenty of backstories and battles and unlike many of my other stories it's not a sequel but it is a gateway* to
As Rise of Firefly nears its end, I'd like to note that yesterday marks the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Midway, the turning point of WWII in the Pacific. Why do I mention this? Because there is going to be an analog to this battle in the next book of the Firefly trilogy. Yes, the much-maligned Royal Navy will get its chance to shine and incur a
Wait what?! horizon is releasing two stories in a month? This is so unprecedented that we've already used up all our jokes about the unlikeliness of this occurrence!
But due to a SNAFU with this weekend's Writeoff (involving accidentally getting sleep before the deadline), and a little time Sunday to expand and polish, I've got a submission which missed the competition, and it's getting a straight-to-FIMFiction release! Details below the cut, but first:
A day late, but not a dollar short. Current progress report is that the prologue plus first two chapters are written, with the third chapter underway and to be finished tomorrow. As I want at least five chapters ready to go, we are on track for a pre-Halloween release!
Here’s the promised teaser:
Hey all. Just a quick update from me. You may be wondering where Chapter Two of A Different Maestro Spectrum is, but don't worry, it'll be uploaded within the range I gave you last time, starting with this coming Tuesday as the earliest day.
As for the new story I promised would land on Valentine's Day, well... I'm having a few issues with how I want the first chapter to go, so if you want to help me with it, please PM me.
Some things you can expect from me in February:
Hay everypony! Hopefully, you'll see new horse words from me soon.
