Updates, new story and MLP review
14 years ago
So yeah, I'm not dead. I know I've been practically silent for quite a while (Again) but there's is a good reason for it, several in fact. One; I've been very very depressed, mainly over all this SOPA business, and have not been sleeping well. 2; Still suffering from writer's block, which made the depressions worse. 3; I recently got my copy of ESV Skyrim, enough said.
Now that I'm finished making excuses, here is my update and a little item review for you all. First off, yes I am starting to write again, though none of my ongoing stories. I'm actually starting up a new one just for fun and to get it out of my system. I won't go into exact details but I, just for fun here's a few storys I had to reject before finally on writing something. These are stories that I came up with a concept for, thought up a few scenes...but just couldn't really flesh out enough for whole stories.
-Red Dead Redemption crossover with Aliens vs Predator: Basically the Undead Nightmare storyline with xenomorphs instead of zombies and a climax featruring John Marston blasting away at the Alien Queen with a Gattling gun.
-Kim Possible enters the world of Final Fantasy (Not a canon one but something of a mix of 6 and 12 setting wise) and has to find the 4 crystals so she can get home.
-A Dungeons and Dragons adventure set in a vast ocean world similar to Zelda: Wind Waker. Basically this one would have been my D&D campagin writen out. This once got cancelled when I started planning it out and realized my skill as a DM is suspect at best. And finally...
-Princess Luna from MLP invents a tabletop game. This was partially inspired by the story 'Ponies Play D&D' which is alot of fun to read. However, as I was writing the story and coming up with the rules for the game I discovered that what I came up with was very similar to the Warhammer 40K tabletop game with a little Fire Emblem thrown in. And seeing as I still have little-clue how 40K works and suck at Fire Emblem I hit a roadblock shortly thereafter.
And thats a little glimpse at the kinds of ideas I get in my head. Most seem decent but others I really just need to keep in check.
Alright now for something fun! My Little Pony blind bags! Yes, I heard these were finally arriving stateside and picked one up at my local Wal-Mart only a few hours ago. Each package cost about $2 and contains one pony figure, a matching character card and a small fold out list of the other figuires in the set. There are 26 characters total, including the Mane Six, and 3 additional figures not listed. Not counting the Mane Six, there are 6 unicorns (3 repaints of Twilight and 3 or Rarity) 7 earth Ponies (3 repaints of Pinkie and 4 of Applejack) and only 2 pegasai (Both repaints of Rainbow Dash, even Fluttershy is a repaint of her sadly). The figures are packaged randomly but I've heard that the codes engraved on the front of the package and on the cards tell you who's inside. Can anyone confirm this? If so I'll add the code for the one I got for anyone looking to complete the set.
Alright, I think I've rabbled on enough to remind you all how crazy and unstable I am. See you all around, hope everyone is having a great year so far and be sure to write to your representatives about SOPA and sign some petitions as well. Going now! ^^
