Still curious to your introductions to Homecoming, but here’s something awesome.
Thanks, Javarod!
Still curious to your introductions to Homecoming, but here’s something awesome.
Thanks, Javarod!
I just got a preview of an artwork being done and I am squeeing so hard right now!
It features the Humane Seven + Sirens as they appeared in Forgotten Legacy, including My Shimmercorn.
It isn’t done just yet from what I gather, but still.
Legacy is now over. We now enter into guest week starting tomorrow. I've decided to kill the deadline on submissions. If you put forth something it will go onto the shelf marked guest week and will be pointed out on the next round.
But for now, a poll: when I come back, where do I head:
1: Another one-off for Homecoming
2: Another Bardic Lore chapter story
3: Non-canon story I.E. White Day prt 2?
4: Snowdrop story
5: Open requests
I'll take thee away,
Into a land of enchantment.
This song figures heavily into the next chapter of Legacy, with a few extra verses added.
For those curious, I used the original Edgar Allen Poe poem the song was based around, not the Disney version. I needed something a little more spooky.
I hope you all are enjoying the story, and I'm glad to see the positive response to my readings. You guys are so great.
No updates tonight unless I have a massive flare of inspiration and insomnia.
The main reason for this, besides uploading three chapters yesterday, is that this afternoon - 5pm EST to be precise - is my weekly Twitch blind run of FFXV, and after that, I'm thinking 7:30pm, I'm going to try and get that whole YouTube Live Stream up and running.
I try to have each of my long stories outdo the previous ones in word count, but I may not do that in this one...I'd have to do another 9K+ to beat Chaos Theory and I already feel I padded it enough.
Forgotten Legacy is a stretch in terms of what I feel is realistic in terms of MLP in my canon. There is one other full-scale incursion that I have planned for another fic, but it's not going to be nearly as bad as this is, and there is some more unpleasantness coming.
Tales of the Abyss is up.
Buckle in folks, because this is where the story gets bloody.
Two chapters for Legacy done.
Also had a wonderful impromptu girls night. Chili's enchiladas are amazingly delicious.
I'm delightfully full and creatively drained for the day.
Mega Man 4 for me till I feel sleepy.
I sent off two character chapters off to the editors and will do some more of the like until we get back to the main plotline. These interludes are to display just how the human Mane 6 are adapting to pony life and their interactions with their counterparts.
The titles are as follows, for your entertainment
Dash - Tales of the Air
AJ - Tales of the Earth
Fluttershy - Tales of Innocence
Rarity - Tales of Graces
The Sirens - Tales of Rebirth
Sunset raging
Sunshine trying unknown magic
Trixie being epic
Azure being glib
Ok, that last isn't hard, but these are all going to be in upcoming chapters .
I'm exhausted.
Night, everypony.
So I'm going to call the contest end date as next Tuesday, so if you're entering that's the last day to throw in your hat.
And just as a personal curiosity, if you all had to put a song to capture the overall feel Legacy is giving you, what would it be?
I'm leaning towards these, but don't let them color your judgement.:
Tonight you'll be getting two chapters of Legacy and, depending on how well my equipment cooperates, a reading of Into the Sunset as well.
Providing, of course, I can find an appropriate piece of art to serve as the backdrop.
And I want to thank everyone that commented on the cutie marks and hope the nicknames work out well. If you have problems with the marks or names, feel free to use your own headcannon and just enjoy the plot.
I just got a gift from one of my editors that shows the cutie marks of the Humane 6 as they would be across the mirror.
So, thoughts?
And yes, I will have the next chapter up tonight, I promise.
And I'm looking forward to the entries.
And for those wondering what the human mane 6 are going to look like when coming through the portal, well...
Still working on that. I've only figured out AJ, Rarity, and Flutters, which I'll describe below.
AJ: greenish-gold (along the lines of a golden delicious apple) coat, with a red mane. Cutie Mark of an Apple tree.
FS: pale pink coat and a blonde mane. Cutie Mark of a pet bed.
This is the first story since The Wooing of Sunset Shimmer that has made it to the top main feature section. It's horribly unfinished but I'm touched by this.
It's only the bottom space, but I'm still excited!
squee!
So my contest is still running, and I've had a few people express interest but no entries as yet.
And I checked the mail after getting up from a nap to find a pair of 3d printed Rainbow Dash Cutie mark dangle earrings from a friend trying out her printer. I'd post a pic, but apparently FIMFiction doesn't like me and photos...I'll put a link in, though, right about here.
I'm going to get a soda.
I've been good, and I've kept my ration of one a day for three months now. I think I deserve a second.
There's also the fact I have no honey with which to make my tea, soo.....
Serious news:
I just had a massively horrible thought about something I could do in Legacy....and it made me feel like I should go to confession.
I'm not Catholic if that helps give you a hint of the evil involved.
Oh, I'm going to have to think on this one long and hard.
I like it, but it's grim and darker than I thought I could be. And so mean to whomever I unleash it upon.
I'm going to level with you all. This story is going to be different than my usual fare. It's going to take place almost exclusively in Equestria, but we will see SciTwi and have some portal crossing by the Human 6. That's going to be fun designing their pony forms since due to logic put in place WAAAAAAY back in Homecoming, their magic and lives have diverged enough to warrant different looks and cutie marks just as Sunshine did. I'll likely be discussing nicknames and such for them with my
So I'm not sure who to center the POV of this tale around. Should I focus on:
Sunset
SciTwi
Pony Twi
Starlight
One of the Mane 6/7
Rotating viewpoints
