> Quality versus letting the emotion flow, plus life stuff putting a damper upon it. I can completely understand that. I mean, coming from someone who has several incomplete fics sitting for here, stuff can get in the way.
I am one of those who doesn´t like incomplete things. Once I start doing something, I prefer ending it completely and move onto something else. There is something quite dangerous about writing with emotions because one should regulate them and place those intentions with much more balance. There are always temptations to put your hands on it and then, regret it later.
There are also a few problems with this story: I actually don´t know the characters. Seriously, I have to read the story all over again and learn what I have written and what are the actual traits that you can extract from them as if I were a random reader instead of approaching them as the author, hence a 2nd part that feels organic without deviating them from their traits looks complicated.
I am not all that familiar with getting a character with the exact same traits all the time. That is to say, I could make them sound out of character out of nowhere because of the lack of knowledge related to their behaviors displayed on the story and cause a huge mess for those people who hold the character development as their main preference.
Regardless of what I say, thanks for displaying empathy here.
> I think perfectionism should not alone dampen any spark of creativity you have. A worry of performance can only paralyze you
yeah...but I wasn´t meant to take any responsibilities on creating fan stuff anyway. I don´t consider myself a writer or content creator...mostly because I don´t want to promise anything beforehand. I just wanted to bring a sense of openness for continuing this story but that doesn´t mean that it needs a sequel desperately.
I have admitted many times that what I deliver and people call ""creative"" is just a bunch of pieces that are simply put together and I simply try to make them seem organic, as if they were meant to fit in this context. Nothing else. If the story has managed to feel as an organic MLP story with all the inspirations that I have decided to gather for it, then that´s a success in my eyes.
> Though a lack of desire is something different. If you don't have the desire, then don't worry...
I haven´t needed to write about this. I wanted to share something for my birthday and liven up this thread so it doesn´t feel completely dead after so much time without getting any replies.
> but if you do, perhaps reading a fic or two maybe in order Maybe I'll recommended one
You mean the Star in Yellow, right? Perhaps I might take something out of them just to deliver something different and keep things varied. In this regard, I have no one else to blame except myself. I have been pretty reluctant when it comes to the consumption of fan content. I know the overview of this fanbase and that X content exists out there but I don´t tend to dive into the content itself all that often. This mindset that I have held doesn´t exclusively apply to MLP though.
> And I reach in ever so slightly, ready to withdraw my hand but just as ready to step through...
Thanks. For now, let´s keep it open but as I said 3 years ago: >>/656/ Nothing is planned and I can't promise anything.
I go back to the same point over and over again but for prudent reasons this time around. Whatever path is taken in the end, I will try to not regret it in hindsight...
