The Unexpected Adventure
Chapter 39: Questions and Answers For The Unexpected Adventure.
Previous ChapterFor those of you that are wondering about the quality of my stories, I have this disability called Dyslexia. It's different for everyone who gets it. Some have the tendency of not reading at all, and others don't know how to write properly. Well, I got the short end of the stick and got both. When I write, I write down what I can and when I read it, it's fine in my mind, but it's not for others. (That's why I have an editor now) I'm going to re-post this on my blog so everyone of you knows what they have to look forward too. Now on to the Questions of The Unexpected Adventure!
First off is a comment from Hairy Rainbowish Thingy (HRT) that also shares the same question from Orion Light.
Orion Light and HRT: Will there be a sequel?
Short Answer: No.
I have a tendency of making sequels left and right and I need to stop. When I finished The Unexpected Adventure, I seeing my vision two flags. One red flag and one green flag raising into the air. Red meaning to stop the series as a whole, but the green flag says to just fuck it all and type whatever the sequel will be. As in, I can't see a sequel after finishing off Where Are They Now chapter. I don't see the three characters going through another long adventure because now they're forming families and I don't want to break that bond that I've made.
Now for HRT's Questions:
What was your favorite part?
All of them, next! Laugh out loud, kidding. Truth be told it's the collaboration chapters where I get all the characters into one single long chapter. It worked, you guys loved it and I continued the formula. One chapter for each character, six chapters then a collaboration chapter to end an 'Arc'. Kind of like One piece, but this is in small chunks.
Was it difficult to make a lot of your characters die?
Short Answer: Yes.
Long Answer: when I first wrote the Unexpected Adventure, it was when I was attending middle school. Yeah, crazy right? I wasn't even an MLP fan then (I probably didn't even knew what MLP was). Anyway when I looked over the notes, I noticed there wasn't any tension that I liked. The only tension that was there was a few bullies that picked on us and got us into a fight. So I re-wrote the last half of the story risking the success of the story. Back then the likes and dislikes were even from 10 likes to 10 dislikes then it counts up from there. The struggle was real and when I added the first death a major character, people started to like it more. I wanted to not sugarcoat anything when it came to this story's (except for one deus ex machina with Jayden) characters, when they died, they were gone and no bullshit was going to bring them back. I think why the readers liked it is because they never saw a story that had the bullshit Gary Stu's and suddenly turn a 360 into a complete shit storm.
Did you accomplish everything you wanted for your story?
Short Answer: Yes and No.
Yes, because I broke the mold of cliches(and added more cliches) to make something unique. No, because the majority of the characters that were coupled with the main characters didn't have enough screen time.
Will we ever hear about this universe you created again?
Short Answer: Yes.
As I said above, for those characters that haven't got enough screen time, I'll be making up that and writing a mini-series to finish their morning and loss. For example: Where the hell is Night Shade on Earth? Will Jayden have a family with Luna? Where's Rainbow with her foals? How's Apple Honey doing with the loss of Aston. Most of all, WHAT ABOUT PINKIE!!!!??? 'Pinkie will live.' Squees in joy. Yeah, expect those coming out when I'm taking breaks with my major stories.
What was your worst fear about this story?
Short Answer: Failing.
After the failure of another sequel of Transformation, I didn't want to experience something like that. When this story was being written, I was fucking scared that this was going to bomb, but it didn't. I'm very grateful and happy that it succeeded.
What are you going to do next?
A sequel to The Canterlot Transfer Student, more one-shots, and two major stories that will grab readers attention.
For those who don't have a question in, comment down below and I'll answer in the comment box if they're different from what I've answered above.
Ladies and Gents, thank you for reading The Unexpected Adventure. It's been a wonderful experience and I hope to share it with more stories to come. For those who didn't get the reference about Pinkie, here' the video.
