074 Status update: Of Lilies and Chestnuts
Hello everyone!
Eeeeeeh! I just have to thank you all for your support. ^.^ Like, you have no idea how much impact your positive words have on my motivation to finish this story.
It took me three weeks, but I finally got done editing all my stories! At least, I've edited any and all grammatical errors I could find. Hopefully, this will attract more people to read my stories. Speaking of, I was hoping someone would like to read them on YouTube. I had someone who was before, but he stopped reading them due to YouTube drama. But when he did read them, they got fairly good feedback and most people liked them. So, I was hoping someone would like to read them on YouTube, or
IN WHICH CRITICS SOMETIMES HAVE A POINT
I was supposed to be spending today dealing with my ex and her friends coming to get things out of my home, but bad weather forced them to take a rain check. As a result, I am here alone looking over my work, knowing I need to eat but too lazy to make food and too cheap to go out. My pillz often decrease my appetite – I only ate one meal yesterday.
You might have noticed I've come back to writing, though focused on anti-Fall stuff because, well, it would be unethical in my mind to not do that. Or if not unethical, then at least improper. Responding to that which is unacceptable or possibly so seems proper. In any event it's something that represents a broader category of work that makes me dislike the dark turn creation has taken. It's emotionally draining and washes out enjoyment of the source material. So I'm cheating on Pony, by losing
107 stories in my Tracking bookshelf. How many have a regularly updating schedule? One. (Shout-out to Crystal Wishes and her story, Crystal's Wishes!) I suppose I can't blame anyone, I myself am horrible at keeping track and updated and whatever. I'm still procrastinating my upcoming PMV. Ah, well, this stuff happens. Anyone know any more good stories that often update? I'm tired of going to the library so often. Gas is
Much as the title says this is a little blog post to show off what's coming in the next few weeks.
- Starsong's New Life Chapter 2 Part 1
This is currently being edited. and should hopefully be ready to release by Monday or Tuesday next week. I split the chapter into 2 parts because I don't think reading 20,000 words in one sitting would be convenient.
- Dreams Well Kept
Welp... this has been quite an eventful month for me, hasn't it? Along with starting a Patreon and writing a large amount of stories (both for Fimfiction AND SoFurry), it seems that I've been getting quite the plethora of different people who want unique stories. If you told me a year ago, that I'd end up writing half the kinks or pairings I ended up making now, I probably would've assumed you were nuts. In fact, I wouldn't have expected myself to publish Sombra's Deal, which was
Heyo!
So, just wanted to give a quick status update on If Only I Had Time. Why? Because I actually care about this story.
Anyhow, first things first, the next chapter is done. It's just in the editing phase, right now. It's what I like to call "The Transition Chapter". Things really start moving forward from here on out.
But, more importantly than that, I got some more art for the story! This picture below is for a future scene and that's all I'm saying about it.
Here we go again, more fan art for Dying Embers.
This one showing the scene of John and Luna at the Gala where some big news came to light.
Zintenka, you are an art making beast!
Thanks to everyone for their support, even with the rate of chapters being publushed has slowed down a little.
Hey, guys.
So let's just cut to the chase, I've been pretty inactive on here. I still read an occasional story, do a review on Rage Reviews, and maybe once in a blue moon push out updates, but for the most part, nothing is moving.
The truth is, I'm stuck in a rut. I've been having this massive struggle with trying to move forward with my life, and very little about anything has changed for the past five years now, and it's bothering the hell out of me.
For those of you who follow me on my Patreon page (or are curious to contribute and show me support), I have my official Monthly Poll up for my upcoming story in May. This poll contains prompts that I'm wanting to try myself, and prompts suggested to me by various Patrons. Here are the list of stories up for voting below:
A bit of an update on some stuffs I'm still working on the fanfic reading so don't worry I still am gonna get that done I'm hoping it'll be released sometime in August. I'm also getting caught up with auditions right now and I've got parody songs and cover songs planned as well as a new series which will be called Story Time Saturday it'll be a series of stories from my life told in a comedic way with pony art. ^w^ I'm excited to get all of this done and I'm so very very sorry i haven't been
Attention Readers:
I thought I'd just let you all know that I am NOT dead.
The reasons this story has been left stagnant without a conclusion for so long are the following:
1. I admittedly ran completely out of steam and couldn’t find the inspiration to work on it anymore.
2. My interest in MLP as a whole has dwindled significantly.
3. I often struggle to finish projects as it is and have many more things I have more inspiration to work on at the moment.
No major changes this time; just the usual editing pass and some minor description and dialog improvements, including making Apple Bloom just slightly more stubborn and Twilight’s efforts to buy her off a little more overt. I also gave a better reason for Fluttershy to have held onto her half of the resignation letter and not have told anyone about it.
This story is titled "Glossy Dead." It was written by mr_minati, it's rated E and currently has a like to dislike ratio of 30:2 with 540 views.
I added a bit more to the end of the first chapter of Driven Batty. Mostly because the added bit would contribute more to this chapter than it would for the next.
Well, that, and it opens up a little more flexibility so I can decide whether I want to do either a minor or major time skip.
