Victory... · 8:21am Aug 26th, 2016
... sorta. This will take some explanation, so settle in.
Years ago, at the insistence of some readers, I tried submitting TWP to Equestria Daily. I didn't think the story was good enough for the site (and still don't), but the reply i got from their pre-reader was quite rude. I left it at that and went on to write the remaining 50 chapters, most of RoH, and everything else since.
Flashforward to today. While I am trying to get over my psychological block on writing (and will have to soon for a commission), I have been making various small, personal videos to work on various other things about myself that could use improvement. One type of video I make are reviews/discussions for recent MLP episodes.
In this recent episode, Thorax reminded me of Del, and that was the focus of my discussion video. Since I cited Del a lot, I included links to TWP in the description. So, even though the video is nowhere near feature quality and part of the bulk post and despite nobody ever reading video descriptions, however indirectly, TWP is finally on Equestria Daily thanks to this video.
Seriously, it is very, very indirect, but I get a small laugh out of the fact that a story a rude pre-test said was horrible is now accessible from the site they were protecting.
Oh. And I should conclude by saying, it still feels so good calling everything about good changelings four years before they appear in the show. I love my little angel. (That's Del in case you need a hint.)
While it may be a sorta victory, it is a victory nonetheless! Congrats, good sir.
nice man, nice.
