A guy with too much time on his hands. Enjoys writing and over-analyzing things.
Cheerilee has decided to educate her class in the art of Theatre by having them put on a play about the Discord's defeat at the hooves of the Elements of Harmony. It goes about as well as one would expect.

Ill-equipped to act
With insufficient tact"

I gave you a thumb for the rush quote alone. Will read later however.
Glad to see this up! It was great to help out, even though there wasn't much to help with
Hope this gets some well-deserved attention. I'd elaborate further, but you already know how I feel aboutthe story.
Oh... Oh this going to be painful. So, very, painful.
I can't wait for more...
dl.dropbox.com/u/31471793/FiMFiction/Spike_lolface.png Want read moar!
Oh, nice bit with the Rush quote! Excellent. Can't wait 'til you get some more of this up. It certainly was a pleasure to read.
1241571>>1239988 So would you guys consider this EQD worthy, or do I need to tweak it some more?
1241756
Hard to say. I can't really comment...I've not sent anything to them, and doubt I would get accepted if I did. I guess it's like anything...it doesn't hurt to try, eh? I know I would certainly show this off myself (which I have been, heh, you're welcome) if it were my piece, so I say go for it. At worst, they say no, you get a strike and (hopefully) some good feedback that you can thus use to improve it even more.
1241793 Thanks.
I guess I'll send it sometime today. Hopefully it'll turn out well.
1241806
Good luck! I know I hope to get something up there myself, eventually.
1241756
I am not the person to ask, as I would deem all stories unworthy of EqD simply because I don't like the audience EqD brings along. Too many of them are either the type who ONLY read EqD fic or the type who think the only fic in existence is FO: E.
That said, I'm unsure what they would say of this, but I think the only thing that might keep it from getting approved is the pacing.
1242507 1241826
Well, I'll send it in and see what they say. I know the audience demographics can be a bit annoying (I have to admit I'm no fan of FO:E either; I tend to dislike Dark Fic on general principal), but I figure it's a good way to get it out there so anyone who enjoys it can find it. Also that way I get more hits.
But yeah, I'm not a huge fan of their process (Another story I sent in had only grammatical corrections on the first strike, then after the second one they mentioned a whole bunch of pacing issues that hadn't even been on the radar during the first swing
). It seems a bit too heavily based on personal preference. That said, this one is pretty much not meant for anything but entertainment, so maybe it has a chance. We'll see.
1243058
Exactly my point. I don't write to please a particular crowd so I don't want to edit a story to please whatever needs a particular few have (that said I have submitted to them once and received a good mix of encouraging and retarded feedback...)
1243058 1243080
I'll admit it's nowhere near perfect--and as you both mention, their different pre-readers vary in how they work and what they look for far too much. Sometimes they're excellent and incredibly fair, and sometimes their heavy handed or too brisk in their notes. Still though, that's just how it goes.
And, well...it's what we have to represent a place of incredibly high standards. *shrug* It's just the way it is, and part of me is glad we have a place like EqD side by side with FiMFiction itself. Like it or hate it, it's a goal to shoot for for many of us.
1243195 Yeah, there's no way of really having an ideal filtering system. If you try to actively filter out bad stuff, you run the risk of those standards being too subjective. On the other hand if you have no filter, you'll get a ton of crap. So you're right, It's good to have both EQD and Fimfiction.
If I post, will you stop pimping this all over TV Trope pages?! XD
What, what was Scootaloo trying to say? Come on!
VERY interesting choice of cast, there. Heh, Scootaloo almost playing Tom. That could have sucked. It takes too much acting skill.
Of all the ponies...well, let's see where this goes.
All righty.
I wouldn't say great, but it is nice. I can't think of much to comment.
I wonder what the mane six thought of it.
and… and… uhhhhhhhhh 
that will work.
Probably something along the lines of
All right! So glad that you're doing this again. So far, this trainwreck is beautiful!
Snails is best Princess.
WRITE MORE! I really want to see Snails as Princess Celestia!
Yay, new chapter! Moar please, I am DYING to see snails as princess Celestia!
1532363
Agreed.
Especially if Twilight had Spike send word to Celestia that they're doing a play, and she decides to show up just in time to see Act 2...
*snicker snicker*
Heh, nice to see you taking this one out of mothballs. Your writing has definitely improved since those earlier chapters.
On another note, "The Advent of Chaos" and "At War with Anarchy" could easily pass for Kreator song titles.
5335777 Yeah, I'm kinda sad that I wasted the potential of this story by writing it back then. I really wasn't taking it that seriously and it could've been so much better.
And yeah, I deliberately wanted to the act titles to be as nonsensically metal as possible.
Ha! Snails: Most Unenthused Princess Celestia ever.
Will this ever be continued?
9098818
Honestly, I'd kinda like to get back to it eventually, but it's been so long that it's pretty unlikely.
9102454
I see.
I really like this!
