    Looking For Editing Help

    Sorry for the bother,

    I was looking for some editing help on my stories, including the next chapter of Asylum, and I was also looking for some feedback on the stories in general to help me nail down some pernicious issues I've been facing.

    Please PM me if you're willing and able to help. And let me offer my thanks ahead of time, because I do appreciate it all!

    Sincerely,
    Derek (aka DoD)

    I have a gift for you - the lost Asylumverse planning guide (from 2013!)

    So, years ago I actually started writing out a guide of random but mostly useless information about Asylum and Broadhoof after I received permission from folks to write fan-fiction based on my fan-fiction. It was a humbling but invigorating experience. So in my exuberance, I decided that I should craft something that would help provide the reader a more coherent world for their shared narrative.

    Oops!

    Okay, I let the Discord Server invite expire. It should be working now at this link. It shouldn't expire this time.

    Sorry!

    PS: Just over 1000 words into the next Asylum chapter. Had to kinda restart it again to make any progress.

Asylum - Chapter 5 reading is now up! And awesome! · 11:14pm Feb 20th, 2013

Goodness me did I enjoy listening to this chapter! Seriously, this was damned good. Even though I wrote the chapter, the part with Pinkie Pie breaking down was almost painfully emotional. And the bathroom scene? Creepy to the Nth power. Hearing the dialogue spoken aloud adds a real element to the story, and even though I'm the author, I find myself enjoying it like it was new!

For those of you who haven't yet listened to them, I highly recommend giving them a go. It's well worth it. You can find a link to them all in the description of the story itself, or click the link above. You won't be disappointed!

Let the creepiness be doubled! *cue piano*
He does make very good readings. I'm tempted to convert them all to .mp3's and listen to them at work.

^0^ Thank you so much! I definitely had a ton of fun with this one. The emotion is fantastic to read in your head, but spine tingling when read allowed.

Chapter 6 is super long, but I'll be starting it tomorrow :pinkiehappy:

It really was excellent. I was listening to it while I was driving to school, and it sent a shiver up my spine when you did Pinkie's moment. Really, it's even more effective when done aloud. You really captured the emotion and shame and sadness of it all. Hearing your first barely understandable response to Applejack's assertion that she isn't a "bad pony" was crushingly sad. :fluttershysad:
