Even for accomplished musicians, inspiration is a fickle beast. With little to show for their latest collaboration, Vinyl Scratch and Octavia resort to less-than-conventional ways to stoke their muse.

Ayyy, you uploaded this one! And a very good one it is. If you’re inclined, this story might have a home in the Pony Fusions group.

Thank you. At the same time, adding the story myself feels too much like self-promotion for my comfort. I do not think I am at a level where I can do that with confidence.
And then they split back, and V.M. died.
It's every earth pony's nightmare: trapped in a room with two ponies eager to use their reality-warping headspikes, and you're somehow the one with ninety percent of the common sense.
In any case, it's an interesting concept, but you don't really do much beyond the basics. Here's a problem, here's the solution, here's a few fun details from the cover art. It's certainly sound on a technical level, but it feels awfully unexcited for a story that involves smashing two minds and bodies together. Show more of the initial struggle to put together a workable collaboration, have a few misfires from Starlight, or linger a little longer on V.M. reconciling her gestalt personality. Making the journey a little less straightforward makes it that much more interesting.

In retrospect, this was a concept I should not have tackled given my lack of experience. Rest assured that I will stick to less avant garde ideas until I develop the skills necessary to write stories worthy of them, however long that will take.

On the contrary, you get better by practicing writing the things you want to write. Just always try to make your current writing better than the last thing you wrote. When you get specific, targeted feedback like this, you have a great opportunity to polish things up.

This story still is a bit out there in comparison to what I typically write (which I think would be considered unexciting as well). I do not really feel like writing another one of these fusion stories at the moment, and I do not know if rewriting this story is in good form. What comes to mind is adding the reworked story as another chapter, but I think that is frowned upon here.
