Hey everybody,
The next chapter of 'The Sweetest Cider' might be a tad later than I'd hoped. Karma seems to have exacted its revenge for giving my girl a cold by visiting the same illness on me five times worse. Currently dosed up to the gills on Lemsip as I try to make some sense of the ideas for said fic floating around up there.
Sorry all - hope the ending of the next chapter can make up for it (I know what it is, and it could be a tantalising one).
PAP
P.S. - Anyone know how long it takes on average for a submission to get back to the author from EqD?
P.P.S. - First blog post. Yay...

Congratulations! your first blog post!
Don't worry, take your time and get better, we'll be right here waiting.
I submitted my story on the 20th, I got an answer... today. their list is long.

Certainly is. Took me just over two weeks for a response (with a gentle nudge from yours truly). Was unsurprised by the outcome to some extent but that's life.
/nod my whole first chapter apparently did not meet their standards. I find it hilarious, if you look at some of EQD 2 star stories they are not even readable. Still, I am plugging forward, I have a review thread on ponychan which is supposed to help out.

Not gonna argue with the pre-readers (or pre-reader - only one response apparently) in regards to mine to be honest, especially given the arduous task they carry out. My story was described as 'basic' which I agree with to some extent. In my view that isn't exactly a bad thing though - mine is a simple tale of two ponies falling for each other, like many shipfics before it. I only hope that the story itself - simple as it may be - is enjoyable for those who read it (indeed I'm merely happy enough that it has garnered the audience and approval that it has to this point).
A review thread should help. Having lurked on /fic/ I must say some of the reviewers pull no punches which can only be a good thing in some respects.
30408 too generic... meh, its rarijack, the world needs more of it. you just picked the wrong ship to sail my friend, do Trixity next time, include trixe in your fic and it will get on EQD lol.

Can't argue with the Trixie logic. It'd have to be good so as not to invoke the wrath of Seth, mind.
And it is one of my favourite ships, hence the writing of it. More Rarijack is required though, and thankfully mine seems to have gone down fairly well.
