Holey moley, a kind person reviewed Definition of Harmony! · 10:58am Aug 19th, 2014
A fair review, woah! This was a pleasant surprise to find in my inbox.
A fair review, woah! This was a pleasant surprise to find in my inbox.
I've decided to put off "A Circle Has No End" until I can concept it further, and will be using a different story to explain a few things that happen in the interim between then and The Definition of Friendship. The next story will be called "From the Desk of Ambassador Wildcard" And will be much lighter in tone, as well as a major setting shift. It will be a series of short stories linked together by the common thread of international relations, and important in building the background for A
The Definition of Harmony is done. I'm quite proud of the last chapter, even if some of the earlier ones were a bit rocky.
Soon enough I will begin work on "A Circle has no End." Look forward to all those references to the Griffons meaning something, and the return of Pike and Medulla.
If anybody has any thoughts, criticisms, insults, whatever- this is the best place to put them.
Also wow, the final chapter is huge, a lot of... words.
The next chapter will probably be the last. Then I expect a few days for concepting the sequel before it goes up. I'll be applying everything I learned here towards that, and it should be a much larger story. The focus will be on the Eta-Eta/Captain Pike character dynamic, with a bunch of other stuff that you'll just have to wait and see for.
While I'm writing the conclusion to The Definition of Harmony, I'm also thinking forward to a grander storyline that will really complete the changelings arc, specifically Eta-Eta and Eta-Gamma, while also exploring the rest of the world more thoroughly. There will be bats, and every character will feature in that story. Probably novela length.
They said three to five days, and then on the morning of the third day my macbook rose like Gandalf.
Wildcard will be fixed and re-posted tonight, next part tomorrow. I had loads of ideas in the hiatus, mostly applying to how I'm going to work Nightmare Moon and the bat ponies, plus thinking about the next story.
There's going to be serious amounts of retcon in the next story, but oh well. I get better as time goes on.
Hold on to your butts, I'm still computerless but I'll be back soon.
Doing some concepting for The Sequel too, I'm gonna go full novela scope on this, I've got IDEAS.
Oh also, how ya'll feel about Bat Ponies? Get Hype.
The IPS panel on my Retina MacBook is one of the slim minority that turn pink over time, so I have to see a man at the fruit stand about an apple tomorrow.
This delays the next chapter significantly, but I do have other computers so it'll Get Done.
