Everything went better than expected · 8:58am Feb 10th, 2013
So, like I announced, I wrote the story about Spike yesterday and published it. Then I went to bed, and slept for ~8 hours. I woke up, and had 40 notifications. The story was more successful than I expected.
I also realized that word 2013 + Grammarly doesn't find every grammatical errors, so I just started searching for a proofreader. I already have someone (or should I be a nerd and say "somepony"?) in mind.
Also, hi to the new eight guys watching me. I still need to get used to the feeling of 15 people watching me through a window. oO
Oh, for the ones that are sad over the "this is not my main story, and I won't update it this frequently", don't fret. I am writing relatively fast, and meaning that I don't update frequently means that I probably only will write one chapter per week, which is still pretty fast compared to some other authors.
Also, after some feedback, I think I'll scratch the idea of Spike just commenting through the story, and maybe take a more original approach. Maybe I tell about the episodes in a side-breath.
Fun-Fact: Everything I described in Spike's story, was taken directly from the show. I watched the first episode the whole time while writing this, and Twilight really didn't care if Spike would fall down and break his neck. She also directly told him to write a letter, after she "saved his life". It's quite funny if you actually watch the events from Spike's perspective.
Another Fun-Fact: Twilight is actually my second favorite pony, and I don't give a *yay* about Spike. Also, I am sorry for any stomach-content that may had found its way out of your digestive system while reading the part with Rarity. I lost myself in Spike's character.
Aside from everything else, thanks to all of you that support me with comments, likes, and favs. Let's indulge ourselves in something FABULOUS!
Next time, I'll tell you about my very first fanfic on this site, which I deleted to stop the rectal pain.
Absolutely! and I did enjoy spike commenting about everything, but maybe a little TOO much if you get what I'm saying. it dragged on a bit and suffered for that, maybe if it was quicker and wittier, giving more effect to the characters within the story, etc. I'd love to see what you'll do with this story and the rest of your upcoming work. keep it up man, love your writing!
813711 actually, my first chapter is always much bigger than the other ones. So don't expect 8K chapters in the future.
One chapter will probably have ~4K, and will progress a little faster than this one.
813713 gotcha gotcha, but what I mean is that all the events in this story are identical to that of the show, even with spike's sarcastic remarks
. so when you put all of this detail into telling what's already been told before, it can drag a little. that's not bad, it's just that what's there could have been condensed further, since most readers should understand the general plot of the first episode. not to be harsh or anything, just speaking my mind 
813720 It's alright. To be honest, I planned to go through the whole show 1:1, but after many people told me that this is quite boring, I think I'll change it and take less from the show, and more original content. And don't hesitate to tell me your honest oppinion. I am still a new writer. It was only a little over a month ago that I published the first chapter of my first story. I need the advice.
813735 I'm glad I could be of assistance
. I'll always be willing to give feedback whenever necessary, but please don't hesistate to hold back on any sort of creativity, I really want to see what you can do with this series! thanks a bundle for putting up with me, I'll be there to comment on your next piece of fine work!
P.S: I'm relatively new as well, so I can relate. not to sound like a desperate man or anything, but if you're ever interested in my work (one story, big whoop...) then feel free to check it out!
