I got contacted recently by another author who has recently read my fic, and found that some of the elements of his story matches my own and was worried I might take offense.

I told him I didn't mind at all if he continued writing, and have been giving him a little critiqueing. It's clear he's a newbie but he's got an interesting idea going and I'd like to see it grow.

So I want to start out by apologizing for the way I sound, and I realize you might be asking yourselves: "Peroth, what's wrong with your voice?" Well it's a short story so let me tell you about it.

So I've got a healthy portion of the next chapter of Growing Pains finished, but I'd like to take a quick, informal poll on what to do with it. I can deliver the 21 pages I have written down right now and it could work well enough by itself and update the chapter as I write more, or I can wait and send it all in in one big bundle. So the options are:

1: Submit what I have at the moment to my editor, let him make the changes, then post it here to be updated later.

Sorry about the lack of updates over the past few days. I've been getting dragged around all over town 'cause my birthday is today. I'll try and get some work done on it late today, and tomorrow.

Other than that, here's to twenty years!

Just what the title says.

Peroth: Could I eMail you something? I wrote a part of a story. The idea came to me in a dream and it seems interesting but I get the feeling it might be a bit... out there.

Friend: Most of what you write is 'out there'.

Peroth: Growing Pains deals with expanding the world beyond Equestria. This one involves Dumbledore and an eldritch abomination beyond comprehension trying to convince Twilight to join a multi-dimensional protection agency.

Friend: ...

The knife fell, again and again, droplets flying through the air and staining the table, marring the faces of the many watchers as the jester did his work.

From the seats at the table down low to the guardrails of the balconies up high, ponies stared, stunned, horrified, watching the carnage below as the wood of the table splintered under the attack.

Here's the newer story's main idea:

Twilight convinces Rarity to try out a hot new magical-gadget that has been proven to help reduce stress: a Magical Reality Device, designed by experts to play games that completely immerse you in the experience.

The incredibly addicting, stress-free game Twilight has brought her to play? Dark Souls.

I've hit writer's block. The next chapter is coming along, but I'm somewhat disappointed with it. So, not only do I have to finish it, there needs to be a complete rewrite of what I have so far (which is, sadly, little...).

The thing is, I still want to write, but I think I'm burned out on Growing Pains at the moment, so I'm going to be taking a short break from it to try a different story.

It occured to me.

With the reveal that Shining Armor is the captain of the Canterlot Royal Guard, it makes me thing about Hero and what I've done with him.

With this knowledge, how differently would that frame Hero if I changed him to Shining Armor, and adjusted his actions according to such? I really have no idea. I'd have to approach the fic with an entirely different mindset.
