    Hey all... been a while, huh?

    Hello everyone! dastrdlyW here. Most of you probably read the first story I had featured on Equestria Daily, Sparkle No More, which was inspired by two pieces of art I saw on DeviantArt. I worked on that story on and off for five years. Mostly off, but still.

    Chapter 9 is up

    The final chapter is up. This is how I've always wanted to end the story, and now it's done.

    I hope you all enjoy it as much as I did writing it.

    Chapter 8 is republished!

    Hello all! Chapter 8 has been fixed and Chapter 9 is undergoing some major work now! I've got a solid ending, now I've got to make everything flow and add on a new scene I've been working on. No promises, but my hope is to have this chapter out by the end of the month at the latest. My hope is to have it done sooner, but with work and school, I don't always have a lot of time.

    THE END IS NEIGH!

    It's official. I've completed the story. I've written out what I believe to be a fitting ending to the story. Loose ends are tied up, I think I've found all continuity errors, and now it's time for the editing.

    Chapters 1-7 updated, removing Chapter 8 for major editing.

    Hello all, Chapters 1-7 of Sparkle No More have undergone some changes, with chapter 6 having undergone major changes. Nothing was changed in the sense of what happens, but mainly how it happens. Chapter 8 I realized has some major problems as well with some things I've added, so chapter 8 is going to be removed for now until I fix it. I don't know how much will be changed of

Sparkle No More: Response from prereader · 10:45pm Jun 4th, 2012

Rejected, again.

I had the different prereader tell me that my Sparkle No More needs a lot of work in terms of showing vs telling, as well as more descriptions of scenery and emotions and such. So I'll probably be revamping chapters 1 and 2 in the future, but will leave them up this time instead of taking them down. I'm almost thinking, at this point, I should try rewriting the chapters.

So, my question is this. Will you guys rather:

A) Have me completely rework/rewrite the chapters for resubmission to Equestria Daily before working chapter 3?

or

B) Finish the fic first, then have me go back and rework/rewrite?


I'm leaning more towards the latter myself, mainly because I'm kinda tired of reworking these two chapters and feel like I should finish it. But maybe you have a different suggestion? Post it in the comments. :D

And don't anyone comment insulting the prereaders. They do have standards, some higher than others, and that's fine. But I agree with a lot of what was said, and they do in fact work hard and truly want the author to improve. So it's an insult to them and since I've taken/followed their advice multiple times, practically to me. So insults to them WILL be deleted.
