So, I've been writing a book about Trixie lately called A Pony Anastasia where she tells about her past as part of a gypsy tribe, but not many people like it which raises the question, why is it so hard to write for Trixie? Why do people tend to shoot down stories where people like myself try to give her an interesting backstory? Granted she's not as easy to write as Derpy and Doctor Whooves and Time Ponies, but it's still fun trying to come up with a backstory for her. Let me say one thing, I

When giving examples of great descriptions, I often turn to Emily Dickinson and Peter Beagle.  When speaking specifically about character descriptions, I use Aragon.

I feel so bad for constantly disappearing but man does writers block and a want to rewrite ur og story hit like a rock sometimes. But yeah I was considering rewriting Life as a Secret Changeling Prince since I would like to go a lot more into depth and maybe change some minor plot lines if I deem necessary, would that be alright with y’all?

alright, I know it's not a story update, I promise I'm working on getting Timid out before next year but... I made a 'Pony' Form of my OC, AIME and I'd like to see what you think.

In a small minka in Hokkaido prefecture, one of the Changeling Royal Families were all sitting in silence at a chabudai table. They were sipping sencha tea, chewing on the pieces of salmon from their shiozake dish as they waited for someone to speak first. The quietness in the room was beginning to get a little awkward, especially whenever one of them glanced at one another, practically begging them to say something to break it.

All right, everyone. Hope you enjoyed the last post, because it's time to reveal what the big secret is. Lilly and Holly represent masculine and femi... wait, what's that? Georg totally blew my secret and revealed the answer in the last post? ...Oh.

Normally, I'd just make my own OC's for this story (mostly background characters, tbh), but I like the challenge of writing my friends.

So!

If your OC is:

-A Royal Guard (either Luna's or Celestia's)
-A Medic
-A Weather Pony
-A Good Samaritan (from cities BESIDES Canterlot, variety encouraged, the type to happily carry supplies to a different city)
-A Pony Maybe You Don't Mind Being In Hell, If That's Okay With You

GENERAL: The Prenches of Neigh Orleans are a relatively old family, born of an Equestrian-Prench Creole marriage during the 14th century YOH. They are outwardly very respectable: but they have their secrets, and a strange attraction for the sea. They have some marital connections with the Neigh Orleans Lulamoons (Trixie's maternal family) but no more recently than around YOH 1400.

Hello there everybody. Last week's topic was about romance and how you approach it. There are good ways to approach it and bad ways that could hinder your story. But this time around we're approaching a different subject. This topic matter is... a little more necessary, I'd say, to avoid in general. (This also may be me not giving this genre a chance... but there's just nothing creative about it, in my opinion). This could also be a bit controversial, in a slight sense of the word. But other

Oh, sure, I could use a nice literary term like "cipher," but why not use the most inflammatory term I can think of? Let's talk about bland, faceless characters and how to give them the color and flair they need to be interesting characters.

In my review of "Look Before You Sleep," I claimed that most of the episode felt pretty same-y. Most of it boils down to a single idea: Applejack is brash and dirty, while Rarity is refined and clean. It just keeps banging on that same idea over and over again. To punctuate the idea, I coined "the dialogue game," where you simply replace whatever a character is saying with a statement of their character trait; in "Look Before You Sleep," that'd be "I'm messy!" and "I'm snooty!" over and over

Having perhaps a bit too much fun coming up with some of these. Still tweaking the one for Princess Cadance. Something about a guy with a plane for skywriting insisting that she really is an awesome soldier. First person to guess where I got Soarin's bio gets to feel smug about being the first one to guess it.
