Hey all you internet people, ponies, pokemons, and other assorted creatures!

I am back in college!  Woooo!  And I already feel better about my work ethic, even though its only the first day of classes!

So the big thing I wanted to talk to you guys about; I've been thinking about An Odd Slice Of Life's story format (Surprise, surprise) and I'm thinking about changing how I tell it out.  Currently, I have been telling it chronologically, starting with the backstories, and I'd planned to continue doing so once the backstories are complete.

However as I've said before, I'm not super satisfied with the progress I've made on this story.  I had hoped to be done with all 6 backstories by the time this school year started, and basically use my oodles of free time in the summer to just keep putting out backstory pieces.  But that of course did not happen and I'm still on Sunlight's backstory, which I started way back in April!  I still have two more backstories to get through and then the main story is scheduled to begin.

However, I've grown impatient and really want to start telling the main story.  So here's what I've thought of; I was thinking of telling the story out of chronological order.  If you've ever seen any of Kilala's nextgen stories you know she just puts out a story piece whenever she gets the inspiration to make those parts.  What I want to do is very similar to that; I would create the parts for my story from whatever part of the timeline that I wanted to, and I would then put in links leading to its next closest and previous chronological parts, so that as I made more and more story parts, the gaps would be filled in, and anyone would be able to go from start to finish at any point. And as I made more and more in between stories, I'd update the links for the previous parts. 

The downside of this is that I'd probably make the story parts for major plots points first, and then fill in the in between gaps, so there's that, and it would be confusing going from each story part to the next because you'd feel like you missed something big and important to lead to that point.  

I want to get your all's thoughts and opinions on this idea, I'll be making a poll today about this and I'll link it here once its up.  So please share with me your thoughts on this topic, and I do want to here YOUR opinion on this.
