Things Are Alive
The Author Saying Stuff
Previous ChapterHello everypony, for those of you who read this before the rewrite I apologize. It turns out my writing was on hiatus longer than I thought when it came down to the format of a novel. I can't say that it's perfect but it is without a doubt in my mind a lot better from the original sharing of this work. I'm still considering the sequel but it's still not something I can say will happen. I will for sure write it out if this new version receives relatively good opinions/reviews/ect.
Was it torture for some? On the first version anyone who read it I'm sure will say yes at least on the aspect for the grammar. On this version? I don't know; I feel this was an amazing re-write but I'm probably a little biased with it being one of my own works (it happened with the first draft after all.) I've been told I don't have enough pride in my writing/drawing/designing skills but I feel it's the other way around; I have way to much pride the only thing is I don't like to advertise my pride.
The way the depth of the story changed on the re-write is what makes me feel pride for this one though; it now actually shows the way the emotions were supposed to be from the beginning (well almost.) SPOILER (why are you reading this first?): Octavia actually goes through the emotions that I feel she should have suffered because of becoming a vampire out of bucking no where. Twilight can't control her own emotions when her horn is broken, she eventually gets better and can control her unexpected lust for Octavia and Applejack GASP! sense when was that one shown? (you really should know that one if you read it.)
I still have my story called Meeting Vinyl which will be rewritten (it's started but needs to be edited on what I already started) and sadly it's the shorter one but won't be finished anytime close to when this one will be. This one has been my pet project with my free time from working and well doing nothing.
I still want to give credit where credit is due. I got a few ideas in my mind while reading My Roommate is a Vampire and then the rest from Eyes Without a Face (which ended up helping the most after starting to re-write the story) and I recommend both of these works. I also owe a lot of thanks to the FAQ that talks about writing that was found on this site. Also music from the Bronies (and Pegisisters) that kept my mind in the mood of the story; DJ Pon-3, Living Tombstones, Bagpipe Brony, Sherclop Ponies, Mic the Microphone, Wooden Toaster, and Flutterex just to name a few.
I won't say I'm better at grammar (not even by a long shot) after writing this. I only made myself think about the grammar. I won't bore you with the details of why I'm not the best at grammar or writing in general because it doesn't change the final out come. Thank you for reading this and again if this is your second time reading this with your first time being the first grammatical massacre I apologize.
