This is a parody fic of a certain site.
to all the ponies put there who get it, go ahead and respond.
Written with love.
This sums up what happened last time I sent a story into EQD
91056 That's the joke here. Don't get me wrong, they do it out of respect for us.
I know it's the joke. And yeah, I know they do. I just thought it was funny was all, and very true.
91084 yes being rejected myself, I thought I'd write about it. I'm glad you liked it.
Hmm...
This reminds me of Taken for Grammar. An inspiration of yours?
I guess this raises an interesting issue. It's one that's been bothering me for a while now. So allow me to get on my soapbox for a moment...
There's nothing wrong with writing a silly little story for fun and posting it up on FIMfiction, Fanfiction.net or deviantART. Some ponies don't want to be serious writers, or worry about stuff like grammar, pacing, style, etc... and that's fine. We all write for different reasons.
That said, people who don't see themselves as real writers (or as aspiring real writers) shouldn't try to get on Equestria Daily, because that site is a spotlight, not an archive. Not everything should be on that site, because not everything has the mass appeal to appeal to everypony who frequents it. A story like Rainbow's, for example, would be chuckled at by a few friends, but ignored by the world at large. Ergo, not EqD material.
Equestria Daily upholds certain standards, and they expect to deal with people who care about being writers and improving their writing. If you don't, there's nothing wrong with that, but your fic doesn't need to be on EqD. It's nothing personal. I have three stories on FIMfiction, and only one of them is on EqD. I only send in my absolute best stuff.
On another note, I've recently adopted a practice of only giving detailed, critical feedback to authors who are on EqD, or who specifically request it. I don't want to make the mistake Pinkie made in this story.
91297 I respect EqD and all of the kind people whoim pre-read some of the things people try to submit to it. I want to become a more serious fics and I'm going to take a quite long hiatus 'til I can get to the point where I can actually sit down and write things. I think that the criticism that the nice pre-readers at EqD are doing an excellent job at telling people what they can improve on before submitting again. I can't submit anything to that site because 1) Conflicting Emotions has a little part where there's some slight dirty parts to it. 2)Most of my fics are incoherent and all over the place. 3) I haven't really written anything in quite some time because I've been anticipating something soon to happen in my life.
NO, I don't expect anyone to do what Pinkie does, she takes it a bit too far because all Dash wanted to know was if the story was good or not. I'm a pre-reader myself and won't give any criticism that the author hadn't asked me for. This was just a fun little thing that I did when I got bored, as said before, I wrote it out of respect. That's a fad, if you love something, parody it.
I never got that
91297 Oh and P.S.
I don't frequent EqD, actually, the only time I visited the site was tyo check out the second fic I've ever read.
Fallout Equestria.
The first being Cupcakes

Well I would love your input on my current works when I get them somewhat finished! As someone who was rejected from EqD on the most baseless and vague of reasons, and who talked with the pre-readers who basically told me "they don't have the time to provide any critical feedback, only to accept or reject", I thought I did EVERYTHING wrong and killed all my projects until I got in order. It sucks, but I want to "shine across Equestria" like all my friends.
Maybe I'm not taking it seriously enough?

I am usually happy to help, but I don't review mature content or shipping. The first because it kinda grosses me out, and the second because I don't read shipping or feel qualified to critique the treatment of romance in fiction. So I might not be the best fit for your work.
That said, I'm busy writing a guide to fanfic writing based on some stuff I've learnt. It's mostly-done, and covers everything from grammar and characterisation. I can swing you a link to that when it's done if you'd like.

Rest assured, it's not mature or romance. Well kind of romance in that it's an anti-anti-ship fic. The other idea is a dark pschodrama type thing.
Sure I'll take a link! I'm sure your guide sounds less condescending than the one EqD has.
