So this story got a little unhinged. SO, i'm trying to recapture the first few chapters... by having Stinky educate Cozy Glow on changeling living conditions... in Chrysalis's Hive, not anywhere else. ANYWHO, first draft for the first scene and a bit of the second!
I'm running a little late on my lore when it comes to 'the limelight', so I dunno where it originates beyond Nightmare Rarity or whatever. I think it may have became a thing because of a line from the song 'Lullaby for Princess' where the second verse mentions a limelight. I saw that as 'Celestia was too washed up in the public attention to pay attention to what Luna was going through'.
so i decided to just entirely uplift this little sequel in order to just rewrite it from the ground up. the main thing with the bald ostrich, was that it had a goal in mind. with the original version of New Horizons, it did not. don't worry though, the rewrite is being worked on and should be up sometime tomorrow/the day after. there will still be Chryssy, Blaze, two assholes that need to get
so, I've been rereading the Bald Ostrich title, New Horizons, and have been thinking that I should write for it again. Right now, I am currently just rewriting the existing chapters, while removing a couple, namely the ones where Ostri becomes an alicorn. I am still going to keep a few things the same. Once every chapter is rewritten/edited, I will start writing for it again and it will go
Ugh. I thought it was pretty good except for the main being stupidly stubborn. Fluttershy was the only innocent one and that because she too nice and shy to have a bad bone in her.
don't get me wrong, I quite enjoyed that story but geez that rape scene came WAY outta nowhere and was WAY too quick. I get that it somewhat served as a reason for Luna and Bob to not be friends but damn it was way too fast to feel any emotion or dread at all. It felt like: ''well that just happened.'' It felt incredibly out of character for Luna to EVER do even under the excuse of: ''Hurr Durr I'm an Old Testament medieval fish outta water.'' and as someone who has read all of your stories, I just want to say a few things. 1. all of your MC's feel like the same person but just with a different name every time. 2. in almost every story you have written, The Changelings are given much more relevance than The Ponies. which is no problem I do love me some buggy bois, but I feel like you over rely on them as a plot point too much. 3. your upload schedule is horrendous. please just focus on one or two stories instead of just writing everything all at once. It takes away from some stories that are better than others. 4. your quality of chapters is actually great. but your plot is almost nonexistent. I do understand that things do happen in the stories you write but I feel like there is no progression in the story other 'than wacky thing happened, shenanigans ensue'. 5. the main characters swear way too much. and that's not an issue I do enjoy characters swearing a lot as it does add some good humor throughout the story but in yours, they swear so often it makes it painfully unfunny and just makes the MC sound like an ass.
but that being said, I do hope for some actual change and more plot relevance in your stories. And good luck writing.
5747660 honestly, my biggest regret with this story was doing that rape scene. because it kinda took what i was gonna turn the story into(an episodic-style story where the mc introduces a random human inventions) and chucked that out the window.
as for my upload schedule, it’s shotty and all over the place because i’m working a full time job, so whenever i do write, that’s just where my free time goes.
5747690 my whole writing process is ‘write a scene, do something else for a bit, write another scene’ and then stop writing. then i come back a day later to rewrite/edit those scenes. then the day after that i do the same process until i have a chapter.
basically i edit/proofread as i write due to this process
No worries, Nugget!
Though I am quite curious what will be changed if you decide to rewrite it!
Understandable. Have a nice day.
Ugh. I thought it was pretty good except for the main being stupidly stubborn. Fluttershy was the only innocent one and that because she too nice and shy to have a bad bone in her.
I haven’t gotten around to this one yet, but it’s been on my to-read list.
thank god.

If you do rewrite it, I hope you keep the parts with Chrysalis and the changelings. It was pretty adorable

Damn man even though you have a full-time job that doesn't stop you from pumping out 3-thousand-word chapters every couple days.
shit man takes all the time yea need, it's not like were going anywhere.

Well, that's one way not to get writer block.
