Did you and Sam plan the entire crossover plot ahead of time, or do you make it up as you go along?

Asked by the-literary-lord

The majority of the script was written in one night, so we have an idea of how the crossover will play out. Some details may be changed as we go on, but the direction we are taking has been planned ahead of time.

mlpartconfessions:

seriously, just come up with something that’s maybe actually CREATIVE. just a suggestion.

- Submitted by the-spine-11

Yes. Creative.

Because giving a canon character a nice hook and then successfully implementing it with a mix of unique art styles, humor, or story is totally not creative.

And there shouldn’t be a ton of blogs to choose from, because variety hinders creativity. Monopolies are fun, right? And if you don’t like that one blog, too bad. Can’t follow or make another one to fit your vision.

Because that’s not creative.

Oh wait. That’s stupid. Like, really stupid.

Mod: Still doing work on this. As you can see, I’m almost done with inks and flat colors. I’ll see about adding light shading to it, but I can’t promise anything on that. Might just make my mind explode. XD  Honestly, I have been enjoying doing the inks and colors for this

Oh man, this is coming out incredibly! Can’t wait to see it finished!

But Sam at least RESPONDS to them, even if he's just crying spoiler, he lets us now that he actually READS the questions we submit. If you did even THAT, we would know that you're actually PAYING ATTENTION to us, and be more inclined to ask YOU questions instead of Sam.

Really?!

I’m not even complaining that I’m getting less questions than Sam! I’m just pointing out the differences in our methods of handling our inboxes. Besides, he’s the main head behind all this because RC is his character. I’m just borrowing him for a story and a blog.

And also, you have a lot of fucking nerve to claim that I don’t read or pay attention the messages in this inbox.

Of course, there are some questions that aren’t meant to be answered because they will answer themselves in due time.

You mean people are asking on the next Rain Catcher update? I totally get it, I am BARELY containing my anticipation towards the crossover, and CAN'T WAIT for your next post!

Hopefully, you won’t wait any longer.

Asked by topher135

At least you met Jitters. Twice even, holy crap! x_x

Maybe next time, we’ll find each other.

UPDATE SOON PLEASE! THE SUSPENSE IS KILLING ME!

Asked by Anonymous

An update should come out soon.

(And I will resume working on it once these questions are done.)

Wait a minute, you said that Caster was Arrow's coltfriend, and you changed him to a filly, so Arrow and Caster were gay?

Asked by Anonymous

Yep.

In the newest Rain Catcher post, why does Shady say "Not this again"? Has Clearwater been murdered before?

Asked by Anonymous

Sorry about that. It seems that I wasn’t too clear with that line.

Shady’s referring to RC getting all depressed again because of the reminder of his mom’s death.

FYI, Sam told us that he's not in charge of the next motherly scoots update, you are. Be prepared to have multiple people begging for more.
