Well... FUCK · 5:51am Mar 2nd, 2012

Oh sorry, didn't see you there.
Right now I am quite miffed.
Me and writing have a long history together. From mild dislike to extreme dislike to love. It's been a rollercoaster of a relationship.
So, when I found out about the show, I decided I should make a fanfiction. It was a HiE, yet original. No, this was not TERMINAL5. This was Crossing The Red Line. Many of you may be saying "WTF IS THAT?!" or "WHY DOES THIS MATTER?!"
Well, I poured my soul into this story. It was up to 6,000 words when I found EQD. Now, this alone took a entire weekend with nothing but writing. So I was pleased. I submitted my work. A day passes. And another. Finally I received an email.
They rejected it.
I was heartbroken. Not only was it rejected, bit they gave half-assed reasons why it wasn't good enough. In my fit of rage, I wrote a sloppy, boring and hastily made gore fic. Then that was rejected too. I made a vow NEVER to submit to EQD again.
Fast forward to last Tuesday. I want people to read TERMINAL5. What author doesn't want their works read? So I contemplate sending it to EQD. Naturally I am hesitant, for I remember the last time I tried. After gaining support from a reader, I decide to submit it. A day passes. And then another. Finally I get an email.
THEY FUCKING REJECTED IT!
I do not curse much. In fact, I would say I never curse. But this, oh this MAKES ME SO ANGRY!!!!!!!
*takes deep breath*
Okay, perhaps I'm over reacting. What are their reasons?
1. Formatting non existent
Well that's harsh. I put a lot of thought into my story's formatting. I agree a little, some of it is difficult to read. Paragraphs are a little bard to distinguish. So this is valid. Easily fixable (for most stories) but a logical complaint nonetheless.
2. Too confusing

WHAT THE FUCK? REALLY? REALLY?

(Seriously though guys, is it really that confusing? I mean. I even put the timeline for god's sake!)
Voice your opinions! Let them be heard in the comments!
Don't get mad It's hard to get into EQD with these kind of stories, as the concept is little bit odd. And I know EQD has some far more weirder fics on display than what Terminal is so just work harder and try to over come these so called reasons.

I know right? They put [Pony-net] on there and I was like "WTF IS THIS?!"
Support is always nice though
sorry you didn't make it
those "reasons" are just stupid.

It gets worse myself.
