I'd love to be a writer, but I just don't have the time to actually put together an original story. I have an idea, but it's so massive that actually getting it out of my head will be almost impossible. And I kinda just enjoy writing for it's own sake anyway.

so I'm changing my avatar to reflect how good it feels.

Aww, but I liked the Twilight avatar.

While I doubt this is relevant, I liked it so I thought I would post this:

[up]It's ponies, therefore it's relevant.

[up][up]Yeah, but I'm not in a state of perpetual stress anymore. It'll probably be back soon, though.

@Seraphem: The chapters are getting longer, and I try to read them all in one go. It's just been busy today.

@JT Now to pay for your car insurance...tongue

By the way, I tried downloading the ROM and the emulator they reccommended. Now, how do you get the emulator to work?

The problem is that I have ideas for a game, but not enough ideas to make it complete. This is always the frustratign part of thinking up things, because it takes ages to figure out what to do.

Unzip everything into one folder. double click on SNE S9x go to input joypad 1 and rebind keys to your liking. Then go to file, open rom search for the rom where you unzipped it and then run.

I swear I need to write my f***ing ideas down. I get such great ideas sometimes.

Yeah, I've heard about the hundred+ page chapters. Seriously, why not break that up a little?

@Crow: Screw that I'll worry about it tomorrow. Now that school's out I can put that time into working longer days (I'm so screwed).

@JT it's considered the most important chapter in the story.

All chapters after that are from 40 to 60 pages long, I think

37 is canterlot right? Yeah that thing is an entire story on it's own. It could easily be divided into three or more chapters.

Well the whole thing jus what the group did in Canterlot it's really one big seflcontained mini-adventoure, it's also the biggest chapter plotpoint wiese, it's pretty much the apex of the build up, cause right after that it heads right into the final confrontations.

It does get split up quite efficiently into mini chapters though so there are easy stopping points.

I'd recommend breaking chapter 37 into 3 or 4 pieces. That's what I did.

yeah the chapter gives you plenty of places where you make a good stopping point.

If it has a number of good stopping points, why not just...split it in the first place? :/

@Swa. I have no clue. Ask KKAT.

becuase he way the sotry runs, it really does flow better as one single chapter. it's just there are enough clear transition areas where you can easily stop and restart later.

So why not have chapters for the chapters?
stevebat avatar
#192797
I suspect it was because since this is fanfiction the story was released in chapters. The author probably didn't want to leave such a large plot point unfinished so he wrote the whole damn thing before releasing it to the public.
