Magisight: Chapter 31 DELAY + Future Works? Whee! + General life ramblings · 4:43pm Mar 28th, 2020
Take a shot.
Take a shot.
Seems I can't do anything right the first time. Well, here's the in-progress collection to every single resource, note, draft, scrap, and plan I had for FMP. This is everything except the private messages between me and Twilight Is The BEST. And even now I'm still not done cleaning and formatting all of the documents in it.
So, where we last left off with the revisions, I thought that initially, we wouldn't need to go further. The tone and attitude had shifted, and it felt much better. Unfortunately, something changed my mind....
Zoey groaned. How many more times was she going to wake up like this? Even with her eyes closed, she could sense the bright light around them.
…Wait. Light.
“Lisa?” she turned her head, opening an eye. Her voice was still hoarse from the screaming.
No Lisa.
Zoey shot up with a heave, propping herself up with an arm against the grass beneath her.
Grass?
It'll still be a while on the next chapter of Endless Horizon, unfortunately. I ended up reworking chapter 11 due to a few changes to Sky's character, and how situations in the chapter will be handled because of it. So I'm in the process of writing it again ((at least much of the original draft is still useable)) Then I'll still need to go through and edit it. Maybe even have someone proof it, though my friends who've been helping have gotten super busy with life stuff so we'll see what
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.
Question: "Can you synthesize the plots and lore of all the mainline Final Fantasy games into one large story?"
Answer: "Apparently, you can. The result is something I call Final Fantasy: Aleph Null. And I'm going to need some more help making it."
I'm currently outlining the cast for the next arc, starting off with a tale called Enemy of Mine that shouldn't be popping up for still a little bit yet, and I'm looking at something here and thinking:
Would anyone want me to make character (and a bit of lore) references? Basically character sheets to help keep track of a few things? Or a little bit of lore to go with them?
The Marble Chapter of Horny Horses is badly written. It's fixable, but it's going to take a couple more drafts to get it right. Expect it early next week.
Marble is worth taking my time with.
Chapter five of Fullmetal Pony is being built (I'm over the halfway point already, possibly even 3/4) while also providing a good outlet for a recent bout of anxiety and insomnia. The biggest update I have thus far is that I've redrafted the first two segments of the chapter, and both of them are much better than what I had originally. But thinking about them made me remember how the first segment was written a long time ago, about the same time as chapter two was being conceived.
Thunk.
The floor creaked beneath her feet. Distant, metallic screeches echoed through her skull, almost drowning out her muted humming. Her small fingers tightened around the fragile glass of the cup she held, unwilling to let it come shattering to the floor. A dim corridor terminated her path ahead—three doors. Faint voices echoed from behind the one to her left.
BLUF: I somehow already completed the draft for the next chapter. Should be dropping this week after I go through it a few times. I also discuss a little about the new Romance tag. Enter at own risk.
So the hot news in Hellville is that 50% of the beta draft went out to readers on Friday!

If you all will remember, some time ago I swore I'd attend the last Bronycon, but for a while things were looking rather rocky. Finances have not been great in Nyronus land, even by my usual abysmal standards, and my plan to save money in handfuls at a time was blown apart by spending more months than not barely in the black. Plus, shenanigans have diminished my tax returns greatly, which was my usual foundation for saving for Bronycon.
But, I have fortuitous news.
