I suppose, I am a Brony.
As mentioned previously, I began my creative exploits in art, I wanted to be a comic book artist. Drawing super heroes; my dream job would have been to draw the All-Star Squadron off of Roy Thomas’ scripts.
At the start I hadn’t thought about writing my own stories, but it wasn’t long before I realized that art, whether it be in comic books or not, was all about telling stories.
The first actual story I remember writing, was based off of a dream, which in turn was based off of the Transformers animated series… no actually in the dream it was characters out of GoBots (which I didn’t watch a lot of). What I actually wrote, which was absolutely terrible in the end, became a story about enemy aliens fighting a war here on earth, but only experiencing life as humans, did they find a way to come together in peace.
I didn’t write any comic book related stories until Junior High School as part of a class. I wrote a Secret Origin story for a couple characters I called “The Aqua Sister”. The teacher liked it, but nothing much came from it. Though over the years I have developed it into something else, a Lovecraft like story, that one of these days I will actually write the full story. The teacher liked another story I wrote at that time, which is a lot closer to the type of stories I write today, but that’s for another day.
Along with comic books, I also enjoyed animations. Very rarely did I come up with an animation-based story that I jotted down and turned into an actual story. Most of what I did amounted to a couple pages of notes.
During this time I was writing a long story about detectives and aliens. There was a lot to it, but I’ve put it away from now. Though the characters live on in other stories I’ve written.
