Hi. I hope you enjoyed reading my latest story. I've had the idea kicking around in my head for awhile, but I only started to write it a couple weeks ago and just finished it tonight (2015/10/26).
Pray that there's intelligent life somewhere out in space, because there's bugger-all down here on Earth.
Hi. I hope you enjoyed reading my latest story. I've had the idea kicking around in my head for awhile, but I only started to write it a couple weeks ago and just finished it tonight (2015/10/26).
Well, after over four months of mostly-inactivity and 6700+ words, "Vinyl Scratch's Uninvited Guests", as I envisioned it, is complete.
I had the ending planned out from the start. I always knew that each chapter had to end with a stinger line from the CMC, and the story overall had to end with Vinyl's house being destroyed.
First off, thank you for reading my story. This is the third fiction I've made public on FimFic, though it's the fourth one I've completed and the seventh I've started to any significant degree.
I've decided to do things a bit differently here. Instead of doing long Author's Notes at the end of each chapter or explaining things in the comments, I'm going to just link people to this blog post. Hopefully it's preferable to me clogging the comments section with my own comments.
I know no one reads these ramblings, but that's fine with me. If hell freezes over and I write a story that results in more people following me, they can search my archives and find these. Buried treasure? Buried garbage? I don't know. That's not my call.
Extremely snooty people, probably English majors, have stated that no truly original story has been created since the Ancient Greeks. While I could easily dispute this assertion -- as far as I know, the Greeks didn't do surrealism as we understand it -- I am inclined to agree with the snobs and hipsters, at least in general. In fiction, there exists a finite number of concepts and archetypes from which to draw, and given the world's huge population coupled with such a long span of time, there
I'm writing a blog post. I've never done this here before, but I suppose now's as good a time as any.
So, where do I start?
Well, I can say that, a month on, I'm still surprised and thrilled that my Sunset Shimmer one-shot was so well received by those who read it. Obviously I hope more people read it, but isn't that always the case? I should just be thankful for what I've got. And I really am. It makes my day when I see that little bell informing me that someone else enjoyed my story.
