Another story rejected by EqD, and can't find where I'm supposed to go for my student loan exit counseling. FML

@knightcommander i'm told my story is pretty good, but it would get turned down in a heartbeat by EQD. It has a small core following on FimFiction though, and that's all that really matters to me.
-
@crusader8 And yet Cupcakes gets on the site and seems to be doing very well. I don't know how stuff like that happens.
-
@greydragon412 Nice dress! :D
-
@greydragon412 Don't worry Pinkamena. I WILL bring you to justice.
-
@greydragon412 Cupcakes was a terrible fanfic.

@hakupony NO!

@greydragon412 me poo!

@knightcommander Strive to write Disney style and quality, and every site will want your fiction. Mine won't get on EQD unless I heavily revamp my first chapter to not be so dry and lame. If you're writing crossover, or gore, or human-related, or anything involving Equestrian political turmoil, then you'll have to work twice as hard to get on EQD. And for the record, "Cupcakes" exists, therefore life is not fair.
-
@crusader8 you write?
-
@derpyshy I will NEVER forgive her.
-
@cajunbrony23 jawohl
-
@hakupony But.. such a marvelous dress ;_;
-
@crusader8 well as a fellow fan fic writere could you take a look at mine and teel me what you think
-
@knightcommander holy cow your FimFiction career is extensive! two hooves up, sir.
-
@crusader8 Thanks. It's about to get even more extensive when I finish AiE Part II and then move on to the sequel.
-
@cajunbrony23 I thought I did. Daring Do and the Bleeding Stone. On my read list
-
@greydragon412 Yes it was. The whole concept was "Hey, let's mutilate Rainbow Dash!" Hey, Let's Mutilate Rainbow Dash! pulled off the concept much better.
-
@crusader8 oh, well, what did you think?
-
@knightcommander I'll have to check out your page later... gotta run off to work!
-
@cajunbrony23 we're both green when it comes to writing, but I have a weapon that is helping me: Fire in Fiction. Whenever someone looks at your work and says "oh it's dry" or "not really a page-turner," this book explains what is in good writing that makes those pages turn in a juicy manner. If you read mine, you'll notice a significant step-up in quality from Chapter 2 to Chapter 3, because Chapter 3 was when I first started reading fire in Fiction. Especially since you're writing an adventure story, you'll get a lot of mileage off of learning how to write tension into narrative. I'm learning all this right now too, so I can't speak much on it myself.
-
@greydragon412 No it wasn't. There was no semblance of plot to speak of. Just shock factor.

@comradeconventrix http://www.fimfiction.net/story/26876/When-Two-Fly-As-One Warning, first chapter is interesting but I'll be the first to admit it's not the most exciting to read!
-
@crusader8 thanks for the adice, but, still that dosnt tell me what exactly you think of my fic
-
@greydragon412 I'd read that and hate myself for it.
-
@cajunbrony23 Make sure you get someone to look over for spelling and grammar before posting it. Aside from that, I think something that jumps out as unusual is MLP establishes her as a fictitious character, and your story features Daring Do interacting with real ponies. This is something that must be done with caution.
-
@greydragon412 You're a horrible person.
-
@crusader8 I only do this in the proluge and chapter 1. I desided not to do that from chapter 2 on
