I’ve always wanted to tell stories, I’ve always struggled to do so. I wish and hope that I will be able to one day.

    Progress, close to next chapter

    Wrote 800 more words on Crystal Reincarnation today :rainbowdetermined2:
    On top of that I also went through what I've already written, fixing spelling errors and making sure that it was coherent and consistent with the prior chapters. It's probably still not gonna be a masterpiece of any sort but I'm beginning to like it, so I think you might as well, I hope.:twilightsheepish:

    The second step

    For the first time in my history on the site I have released a second chapter of the story I'm working on within a week of the first.
    Considering my prior track record of having a two-year lapse between chapters, I'm really rather proud of that.

    Understanding my limits, and an explanation for those that'd like to know

    Unsure if anyone really reads these things, but I'll write one just for the sake of it. If nothing else it might help me look back on things in the future, hopefully wiser.

Crystal Reincarnation - chapter 2 (progress). · 1:39pm Apr 9th, 2018

I've been having a bit of a problem deciding on whether I wanted to write Darrach's perspective in the story from a first person perspective, like in the first part of the first chapter, or whether I wanted to write it like I did in the second part of the first chapter.:unsuresweetie:

I've decided to go with the first option for now. To experiment with it and to see what you guys think of it. So let me know whether it's complete ass, semi-decently acceptable or somewhat to your liking, ay? I'll adapt my writing to fit with it in the future.

Also this.

This is pretty beast, Glad you guys took the time to give my story a look ^^

This is pretty beast

I see what you did there. :moustache:

Anyway, fan-fiction is pretty lenient as far as perspective is concerned. Really, the only thing you have to avoid is confusing the reader on who/where they're seeing things from, and not giving them whiplash by switching perspective too often.

Heh, ya know, I really think we should put it in Darrach's perspective, but here's what I wanna see.

Not only do Shining and Sunburst arrive at the scene, but so do the Mane Six and Starlight as well. Originally, they came to just see Twilight's niece, but the moment that Flurry, or should I say Darrach, started out over her "new" form, they find Cadence and decide to investigate the problem, but this is at the beginning of the chapter and in first person.

The rest of the chapter will be in Darrach's perspective. And after the first bit, we get to see his life as a human, and how she tells it. Darrach would eventually sum up her courage and get out just in time to see them, right after she gets used to her new body. Hopefully, this will all end with Darrach eating her breakfast and telling them why she was freaking out. She might also be trying to convince them to refer to her as Darrach.

After the first five to seven chapters, I would want her going to Ponyville for a few chapters and stay at Twilight's castle and maybe another chapter or so at that year's gala and come into contact with Celestia and Luna. With that said, may God have mercy when she runs into DisQord and Smoozie.

Both view points are pretty good. :ajsmug: I look forward for me :pinkiesmile:
