Screw EQD · 12:38pm Dec 5th, 2013
Three re-writes, ten submissions, and 8 months later, EQD still says I don't meet their "quality" standards, but it's ok for the same old repetitive "elements save the world from Discord" and "Nightmare moon becomes a filly" crap to be posted, because that's unique and original.
Screw it, I'm not conforming to their rules anymore, It's time to up the ante. Time for sex violence and abusive language!
Sex, violence and abusive language? He's got the right idea!
For real though, I stopped going to EqD over a year ago.
Do it brah. I remember when The Immortal Game was "too dark" and had a quarter bar of red from down-votes. Friggin pansies.
GO GO GO!
Go for it. Your story is one of the better ones on FimFic, and if they don't want it on EQD, then it's their loss.
Let me Guess, they kept blocking Terminal world?
anyway Good on you, another brony drops off that frigging ridiculous sight.
because of all the strong content they've been blocking, they've lost a decent portion of the better content. I wonder how long it'll be till someone comes up with the Idea to actually create their own sight that has two accessible sections one for the older crowd and the other for everyone.
Yeah, just let them go screw themselves. Bunch of pompous jerks they are, and below your station. But hey, at least they got back to you. It's been so long since I submitted to them that I wrote two books in the time it's taken them to get back.
EQD is full of dicks with too high standards and a pole shoved up their ass

Damn right, I read through the first chapter and my instant reaction was:
Bitch, please! By the time Terminal World is done I'll have a story so delightfully dark and distopic that Aesthetic Brony will look like Mickey Mouse's Fun House!
Not that I'm trying to toot my own horn or anything...
But hell, whilst I'm at it I'll say this: I don't like Aesthetic Brony. If a man is capable of writing a 6000 word post bitching about an art lesson than he's not an author; he's a primadonna
But that's just my opinion any way.

That comment combined with that avatar
1575249 Yeah, he let himself be affected by the internet a little too much. No denying he is a great author though. My jimmies are unrustleable. I may get a bit worked up sometimes but at the end of the day we're on the internet and pixels don't effect me.

Were truer words ever spoken?
Just don't tell that to the 12 year olds on Call of Duty, their feisty bastards, I can tell you that.
Take my advice Don't go to EQD. Their standards are too high and the pre-readers are extremely biased. Their "quality" has gone down recently and I highly recommend staying away from that site.
Oh and congrats on getting into the featured box^^ fc01.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2012/363/c/3/clapping_pony_icon___fluttershy_by_taritoons-d5pl2gh.gif
In what I have seen, as much as eqd may have some good things about them. I am not defending them, but looking into what perceptions that I have play unto the image and views. On that mirrored token, they are very heavily biased. Enough so that, if one does not like you for some reason, in that bias, they will poison the process every time.
Sadly, I have found more people through good word of mouth here, than eqd. And where Eqd could be something more, its settled on the petty nature of glitter, not wordplay. It however is a decent spot for news, I just pray it doesn't go the route of the fox in the sphere of its influence more than such has.
Dream on, with guiding muse.
Dream further, into realms celestial.
Dream deep, in the earth gives life to words.
Dream about, the planes above, beyond, and about to guide in the nights sky.
Dream on, with words to ever grace the page.
May the dream ever linger, never a nightmare.
I can't even remember the last time I saw a new story on EQD and thought 'I'd like to read that'.
Well, you have my support. I really love your story and I hope that you keep releasing good updates. (Plus, I've never really gotten EQD's acceptance requirements. They say no dark fics, gore, or sexual content, but a million Fallout fics still get featured? )

That's because Sethisto's got a stick up his arse.
