The Twilight Fall
Chapter 30: Afterword - Authors Notes
Previous ChapterAnother day, another story completed. This time quite ahead of schedule!
There's a lot I'd love to say here about this story, a lot I'd love to say about the process I went through writing it!
But after a good nights sleep, I've decided the most level headed thing I could do instead was keep it short and sweet.
This is more of a "Did I do good?" Thing than I normally do, mostly because this chapter was another expansion on my desire to see if the elements I put into the story added... or detracted from it.
When Originally thinking out the Shadow trilogy, I decided right from the outset that I was going to write it in as adult a manner as Necessary. That meant I couldn't shy away from things like sex, innuendo, blood, etc. In the first story, I didn't achieve that as well as I could have - but It turned out to work fine in terms of the story. In this story, I remain unsure if I went too far with it. Certainly, I believe the sex scenes added something to the feel of how Twilight slowly fell from grace, but that's something only my readers can truly tell me.
That being said, the sex is pretty much a part of the tale now. I don't really consider this a clopfic - given that most of the sex is at least disturbing in context, rather than sex-y. But I know I'd have people who'd disagree with me.
Still, There's one more story to go. This one is going to push my boundaries and comfort zone in the subject of writing action scenes and battles and will possess a considerably wider focus on certain characters, rather than Twilight herself. While she will remain the principal driver of plot events, there's a lot more going on here now than just her story.
But that's for another day. This is the end of The Twilight Fall, and all in all I'm pretty satisfied with it.
Right now we are still set for a tentative June 1st release for The Code Of Harmony (Which I will link here once It has been admin approved) and I'm really looking forward to expanding that story's verse! In the event that the June 1st date is missed, It's probably because I needed another couple of days to get started on the story.
You guys might see some activity from me over the next week and a half, or you might not. I'm taking a short break from writing this weekend to relax my mind and prepare my outlines and story structure for the next tale.
As before, THANK YOU To all of my commentators, all of the people who have spurred me on to keep writing this. It's my fervent hope that I'm slowly getting the momentum I need to write truly wide-read, popular stories. If you have any suggestions on this front (Or if you guys know of more places for me to advertise my work) Hit me up in the comments!
And If any of you, my beloved readers, have any questions or comments on the story as a whole, please feel free to lay them on me!
Until next we meet, I remain humbly yours,
Lapis Lazuli.
Stay Pony, my friends.
