    Computer works again

    Well, I took away the following lesson from getting my computer to work again.

    1) My local computer store is really great (they burnt me a recovery disk for free)
    2) System refresh is a great way to clear off programs.
    3) Microsoft support can't be relied on.

    Long story short, I'm having technical issues.

    To keep it brief, both my laptop and my computer have stopped working within about a week of each other a week ago. I lost pretty much a full collateral chapter when my laptop went (screen is dead), and a little more (when I started rewriting it) when my desktop computer starting having trouble (error d0000452). I'm trying to get the later fixed, but no ETA as of yet. All I have now is a tiny

    Little update on Collateral

    Hey guys.

    I had previously said that I would be returning to the normal update schedule once exams were over, but I had forgotten about an additional component of the course: Co-op related assignments and work. Collateral will resume weekly updates as of this Saturday.

Story ideas and status update. · 2:13am Mar 23rd, 2014

Well given what I mentioned in my previous blog post, how about I talk about what my future plans are with my stories right now. It'll give a little bit of content for tonight.

Status of current stories.

Collateral.
This one is pretty clear. Weekly updates (save for oddities like the food poisoning of this week) till completion.
Next Let Them Eat Cake Sequel
This one is probably going to be about Pinkie and wealth. Maybe a month or so.
Dreamscape
I've been trying to reorganize everything for the rewrite. It's progressing, (2-3 chapters ready) but slowly. It should be ready for the republishing (EQD quality hopefully) very soon.
Adversity.
To be blunt, I am unsure of what to do with this story. It's hard to explain what I want to do with it, but it is most certainly on hiatus right now.


Now, let's get onto some story ideas I have been considering.

A Prince's Facade.
This one is a short story revolving around Twilight and Blueblood. The premise behind it is Blueblood rejects a bill Twilight puts forward on the grounds it is a waste of money. When Twilight goes to Celestia about the matter, she recommends that Twilight goes to speak with him after Twilight questions why he was even made a prince. Twilight's opinion of Blueblood is one of a stallion with an over inflated ego and disgusting self-important. She finds out that she is wrong, but not in the way she expects.

>Title undecided but something to do with the night<
So, I love mythology, but moreso, I love stories which can weave and adapt already standing mythology flawlessly. To this end, what if there were all sorts of monsters in Equestria, the things of myths and legends, and what happens when Twilight is attacked by one? She is saved by an upper class cellist who seems to be anything but. Yet, according to the account of thirty eyewitnesses, the mare had been at a bar that night. Determined to discover who she really is, Twilight follows her, bringing her into contact with the stories behind the legends.

A Thousand Years of Interest.
So Luna... You know what? Go watch the futurama episode "A Fishful of Dollars". Season 1 episode 6. Basically, what would happen if Luna had a bank account open in the years she was trapped on the moon? What happened if nopony had bothered to close it? What happens to all that compound interest? What happen when Luna finds out how ungodly rich she is.

False Titles
Sombra returns to the Crystal Empire. Well, not so much as returned as found near dead and brought back to the Empire to face justice. Of course, not everything is perfect in the empire, with some ponies rejecting the idea of a monarchy altogether. Coupled with a plague and a cure which can only be found in a neighboring city state, once used by Sombra as a source for slave labour, things are going to get dark pretty quickly. Of course, Sombra is going to add his sadistic input into the matters. Yet there are still some who remember Sombra as he once was, before he fell to darkness.

It came from the Fridge.
So Rainbow Dash hasn't cleaned her fridge out in a few months. Just what is growing inside? Short one shot idea.

Second chapter/Direct sequel story to You can't take the sky from me.
Rainbow Dash tries to find Gilda, and set right what she wronged years ago.




Most of these I have dabbled at a little bit, but nothing to much yet. They won't come till I get some current stuff out of the way though.
