Couple of things, folks... · 5:56am Aug 19th, 2014
A) DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO WRITE ZECORA?! Like, seriously, 90% of the reasons why you aren't reading the last chapter of ACE right now is because writing extensive dialogue for a character that rhymes on a dime is a pain in the butt.
B) The next review is almost done. I just need to edit down the two pages talking about Pinkie's rap to a couple of paragraphs. Oh, the bonfires that scene set off...
C) I'm also working on something else non-pony related. Not telling you what.
D) I'm going to BABSCon again next year. The reason I'm buying my pass now and not waiting until I have a more solid idea about what's being offered has nothing to do with the fact that John de Lancie is going to be there. Nope. Nothing at all. I care not one iota.

Rainbow needs to study for a test, and rather unfortunately has a rather bad case of ADHD.
Which isn't that surprising really. She has shown some signs already. Also, it's real ADHD, not Hollywood ADHD.
I want the long version of Pinkie's Rap review xD Do link!
Don't I know it. This website has helped immesurably.
Hmmm...thou dost protest a little too much, methinks...
When I am rich and famous, I too shall go to BABSCon.
...
...huh. Would you believe that the spellcheck doesn't have a problem with the word "methinks," but does have a problem with the word "spellcheck?"
I'm with you on writing Zecora. I, too, am in a chapter where she has to explain a lot, though I think I'm handling it pretty well.
Maybe it's just me, but I think people overreacted to the whole 'Pinkie's rap' thing. I mean, it was a short scene in one episode. I get outrage over whole episodes being completely ooc, but it was just two minutes.
Insert, if you want help with Zecora, I'm offering it. I for whatever reason seem to be naturally good at rhyming and rhythmic flow.
2382126 Heh Rhymezone. Greatly useful site. Even if half the entries are usually rare last names.
Also, I look forward to seeing you at BABSCon!
In addition the site RDD suggested for Zecora dialogue, we do have a writers workshop on the Lunaverse forums for helping each other out. Or if you aren't comfortable going public like that, you can probably always ask for beta-reading assistance on an individual basis.

...you're already semi-famous, at least in MLP fan-fiction circles, so why not save up your money and go now? IAH and myself had loads of fun together this last year, and if you were there too it could have been three times as much fun.
If not, one of these days we do still all need to find some con where we can get a Lunaverse meet-up going on.

. . .Yes. . .
I don't know what you mean by bonfire. I listened to some analysts say that they didn't enjoy it much, but I've never read anyone actually hating it. For the record, I laugh everytime I watch it.
...could you just post the full 2 pages instead?....
Zecora, eh? Is she going o be instructing some scout fillies? Or can we expect a return to A Chance Encounter?
Well, its nice to see you in a good mood.
Rhyming characters is one of those ideas that sounds so good until you try it. Unless your Doctor Suess.
Something not pony related? BLASPHEMY! Though out of curiosity, where will that be published, I like to read it.
I know how hard it is to write Zecora, especially on a hot day while wearing angora.
Seriously, that's the one character I've avoided even mentioning because I know I can't do it justice. Do your best, and we will naturally pick apart your best work telling you how we would have done better
Hey I thought the rap was funny...that whole episode had some real comedy gold.
And I bet you could find websites like the one RDD linked above to help you a little with the rhyming. Good luck btw! I'm excited to read stuff by you again.
i know what you mean. zecora's a great character, but writing her parts is downright near impossible without making it sound tacky or pathetic
