Equestria Daily -Attempt Number Two (Soon) -Help me, Readers! · 1:12am Jan 1st, 2014

Hey, folks. This holiday, I haven't been working on chapter forty-eight. Instead, I've been focused on remaking and editing chapter one. It took some doing, but I think I might be ready to try to submit the story to EQD again. Before I do, I would love to have you give me your opinions on the google document link. Feel free to edit and comment as much as you all need. If anything is wrong, let me know or make the edit. =)

Part of me wonders if it's worth it. From I heard, the people who run that site are extremely stingy when it comes to fanfics and apparently, if your writing doesn't match what they consider to be fanon, they'll kick it out.

1668988 - I've heard rumors, but I thought I was just being sensitive the first time. Do you honestly think I should just give up?

1669003 You make it sound like I don't like your story when you put like it that.

Your story is awesome but I'm afraid of the people running the site will be so tight-ass about what they think is right that they won't treat it the same way.

You can try if you want. Hope for the best but prepare for the worst.

Don't let everyone edit. They might screw up your story. Just give people commenting power. EqD is... not going to open up if clashing styles and such get in the way. Also, in your case, I would suggest requesting a Pre-reader that actually enjoys crossovers.

1669030 That's a good idea, too. Okay. :twilightsmile: Know anyone who might be able to help?

EQD is just not worth your time. From what I've seen going on over there, and waht I can surmise from what is being said, it would seem that the fic portion of the site is dying. Its mostly because of the people they have guarding submissions. They pretty much only let in waht they like, not what fits their preset standards. Basicly, you can edit, polish, and make your fic fit to their standards perfectly, but it all lies with the opinion of whomever reviews your fic.

Besides, isn't the fact that 1,585 of us like your story?

1669279 You're probably right. So many people love this story already, and Parker x Sparkle is slowly becoming a thing. I'll give it a try nonetheless... because I'm stupid like that...:rainbowlaugh:... but if I don't make it, which I doubt I will, I'll stay happy, knowing I have you and the 1,584 other following me. :twilightsmile:

1669436 Trying just to try is something I can respect. Like me playing Fallout(any of them). "I wonder how well this gun does in this situation..." Like the Experimental MIRV.


I went way off topic, but I really like this gun.

1668988 It's worse than that. They'll kick it by claiming that you got the canon wrong. They once rejected a story of mine on the basis that I had Twilight say she became friends with the other five ponies by accident. Never mind that it's absolutely true; she just sort of fell in with them during the two-part pilot. But they claimed that wasn't true, so *boom*.

They really aren't worth it.

1670157 Sheesh! Really? :twilightoops: That's just plain silly! You'd think they would lighten up! :applejackconfused:

Did you see the opening story on the comments on chapter 1?

1670353 I'm looking back through them now. What am I looking for though? :rainbowlaugh:

1670353 Oh! You mean the web-comic from youtube. Yeah, I saw that when it first came out. :scootangel:

1670363 the opeaning of death of ultimate spiderman video and some madman wed see her wed of vision.

1670373 will I was thinking you should do in opeaning that madman wed see that all different spiderman were killed by the green goblin. To classic, the movie, noir, 2099, miles moral, and many more. This is a bit of off topic but did you see psycopie on video that if osborn is going to tare up reality skip the video to 19:00.

1670438 Hmm. I SHOULD try that, but instead, I'll save it for a later chapter. Adds to the surprise. :rainbowderp:

1671378 witch one the opening or about psycopie? What are your thoughts two ending one that peter will live his new life and the other peter die. Or you could make 3d and 4th end like twilight sparkle dies and the other Osborn wins. Maby the 5th ending will be a mystery what happened to peter and twilight after the battle where did they end up and what world did they go to Nintendo universe, transformers universe, or perhaps to DC universe.?

Thunderxwonder and I will check it out. But I know you WILL get it this time.:twilightsmile:

There is a possibility that Equestria Daily might reject the story again. But at the same time bro, don't ever give up:rainbowdetermined2:. And even if they become too stubborn to accept some good literature like yours, always remember that you are already developing a fantastic story, that has the potential of becoming a well known, mainstream MLP fanfic. I do have to agree with other commentators that EQD seems to be falling out of favor among alot of fans, but it would still be worth trying again. We're all here to back you up dude! My prayers are with you.:rainbowdetermined2:

Well, Max, if that's what you want, then good luck, and good writing, but know that, your story doesn't have to be on EQD to be good, to me at least, your story is pretty darn good as is...

1695780 I know. It's something of a personal hurdle for me. I want to see if I can do it. Somehow, I'm succeeding in improving my story and writing skills. However, EQD is known to be tough, and I want to see if I'm decent enough to be featured on EQD. Even if I can't, I'm fine knowing that the readers of this story will support me nonetheless. :twilightsmile:

1696094
Tough? Well, that's not exactly the words I would use to describe EQD.. Probably a few words that someone with my username shouldn't say... I get that they have a lot to do and they have to go through a lot of stories that can be really bad and half-baked, but after looking at the reasons why they rejected yours, I think that a lot of them are really narrow- minded to say the least, plus I've seen a few other rejected stories that were actually pretty good, and deserved a good bit more attention, which was what the site should have done for them, but it didn't, so there's that....
