The Great Bale Out

A My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic story, or maybe...

Apple Bloom and Scootaloo were sitting under a tree near the barn, looking bored as they tried to come up with something fun to do. Suddenly they heard a crash followed by Applejack crying out, "Tarnation! Ain't that just a whoppin' heap o' bad luck!" As she righted the fallen bushel baskets the young fillies scampered over and helped her pick up dozens of spilled apples. Applejack was muttering and fuming to herself the whole time.

Apple Bloom gave her sister a worried look and asked, "What happened, sis?"

"This darned billet busted on me," she huffed while picking up the harness an

Melius tarde, quam numquam.

Rainbow Dash rolled back and sank into the soft, fluffy cloud, the only one in the skies over Ponyville. With a contented sigh she closed her eyes. Despite her misty resting spot the sun's heat had no trouble permeating her sleek body on that hot day. The slight breeze was only the barest whisper in her ears, drowned out by the calls of cicadas and occasional chirping birds. The only other sound was the soft and nearly continuous grating of Big Macintosh's plow tilling the soil directly below.

It was one of the easiest days ever. All she had to do was move a big enough

Scraps

I was just sort-of doodling one day and decided to make a "mood piece" based on the comic that I'd just commissioned. I had a ruler with me but for some reason eschewed it in place of eyeballing everything. The perspective seemed pretty good... until I drew those two photographs on the floor.

BTW, the guy I hired, "Laser Squirrel" or LS or Elless (Bill Schoneck of Love's Park, IL) ran off with half the money nearly two years ago. The comic will never be made now.

It infuriates me when people take advantage of others. I'm curios about the comic.

It is a Fairly OddParents fanfic about overcoming a difficult past, lots of heartache and hurt: Timmy gets one girl with a really bad past to help another girl who's experiencing the same thing now. The story was also supposed to answer the biggest question about the series.

It's been tugging at my heart for at least five years and I was really hoping to bring it to life graphically rather than just write it. I actually see the key moments etched in my mind with this story.

However, when I was scripting the comic itself I did a lot of trimming. There's no room for fluff when I'm paying by the page, so keeping a three-act story down to 30 pages is a lot less expensive than letting it run on forever. Now when planning plain fanfics I pretend that I'm paying (myself) by the page and that helps me keeping all of my stories fairly trim.

Maybe I'll just write it anyway. It's about darned time.

I'd be happy to read it. Sound really interesting. Specially the part of the question, I want to know what is it.

*Fairy-Slayer Aug 2, 2010

Originally I figured it would be too strong for dA, even with appropriate warnings, but now I'm starting to consider doing what I did with "Lost Embrace" and focus much more on the characters.

It really helped that over the weekend I saw a lot of feedback on something else that I'd written, mostly about how the emotions and interactions were even more enjoyable than the "stimulating" parts. Most of my fanfics are lemons (which is why I don't even mention them on dA), and to compel those readers to comment on story and character development instead of just the "fun parts" was high praise in my book.
_{Or maybe I'm just getting worse at writing the naughty bits.}

So maybe I'll put it on the front burner... once I finish two other stories that have been on my plate for quite a while.

And I thank you for your support.

~InvisibleDeath Aug 7, 2010 Hobbyist General Artist

You are welcome, I hope I can read 'em soon. And I don't think you are getting worse.

*Fairy-Slayer Aug 8, 2010

Yes, I hope that my saucy writing isn't getting worse but instead that my expressive writing is just getting better.

Even though this particular story has been trimmed and is scripted already, I'll need a massive amount of mental energy to start writing it. A lot needs to re-imagined so it can be told through words. The subject matter is a bit "strong" for me emotionally too.

Also, I need to finish up two other stories: a scary Ruby Gloom tale that's close to completion (two chapters up, one to go) and then a Phineas and Ferb story that's been left alone for way too long (seven and two). However, they're both very Rule 34... and kind of on the dark side as well.

Hmm... Maybe I need to stop and write a happier story in-between my big scary and emotionally charged ones.

Happy is good. I hope that's what kind of week you have.

~InvisibleDeath Aug 15, 2010 Hobbyist General Artist

Well, some go up, some go down, or something like that XD
I haven't been as happy as I'd like to.
But thank you for the thoughtful wishes.
I hope you are really having happy days!
