Last Attempt · 10:15pm May 11th
So, I've tried to write and publish several fan fictions and failed every attempt. I am going to try one more time; the current story seeking approval is a prior failure . Not expecting anything anymore.
But here is an excerpt from the Prologue:
Friendship is Magic: Tales of Equestria and Beyond, The Dispute,1st Draft
**Canterlot Castle, Canterlot, Equestria**
**046 Winter CC**
Okay. The beginning. The real beginning. Nopony saw that other part. It's an important story, so the first part has to be catchy.
"In the magical-" No~ that's a little too quick of an introduction. My little ponies like a little more whimsy than that. Let me see… Oh!
"Once upon a time," yeah, that's better, "in the magical land of Equestria..." I mean, this affected the whole of Equus, but my little ponies don't usually look beyond their towns or villages -let alone the national borders. Mm~ yeah, I think just 'Equestria' should be fine.
"... There were two regal sisters who ruled together and created harmony-" technically we maintained, preserved, or spread harmony. Harmony herself is the one who creates it through my little ponies and others, "-for all the land."
"To do this, the eldest used her alicorn powers-" well, no. That's kind of right but also not. 'Alicorn' as I understand it just means 'to have at least three pony tribe traits.' There's nature pony, pegasus, unicorn, thestral, and crystal pony to name a few of the largest groups that can be found nowadays. There's also rainbow pony, seapony, flutter pony, and a few others; but those are so rare I've never even seen them -only heard rumors about them in ancient texts that survived Skyros and a few excerpts that Clover the Clever managed to preserve. My old friend Starswhirl thought there was validity to the cryptid-like claims of strange pony tribes from the fabled Dream Valley even with no evidence aside from those few scraps of ‘evidence.’
That's between 1/6 and 1/3 of the Prologue chapter.
I think I tell a pretty good story, but rules is rules. I will continue to be a fan of My Little Pony and FiMFiction either way.
Why were the other ones rejected 🤨.
And I’m eagerly awaiting it’s approval.

One was a collection of Christmas songs converted to Hearths Warming. Rejected because it had no narrative purpose. I thought it was a cute exercising in writing.
The current one that was just approved was rejected previously because canon characters weren’t named in the first chapter. I switched the order of the first two chapters with some minor additions to the Prologue.
My first one with some war themes modeled like Everyday Life with Guardsmares was rejected for the moderator didn’t like the chapter order. I was really proud of this one.
There was another but I forgot.
