Wow Guys! Thanks! · 8:47am May 1st, 2013
I never would have dreamed in a million years that my very first attempt at a ponyfic would have gotten this much positive attention! I was hoping for maybe 50 or so views and a couple likes. Maybe one or two favorites. As of writing this, 20% Sweeter is at Chapter 3 with 233 views and roughly 46 favorites, plus I've gained 3 followers.
Thank you so much guys. This positive energy is exactly what I needed to feed off of. I'll admit I was nervous posting my own story. We all know how cruel and unforgiving the Internet can be, but you guys have shown me that there are still good people out there.
All of the advice in the comments has been solid, and I already feel that my writing has improved just a little bit. Hopefully I'll keep improving so I can bring you guys the quality of content you deserve. Seeing the few people in the comments that have said that they are eager to see where the story is going has really motivated me to make this story line develop into something outstanding.
While the numbers I threw around in the beginning may not seem like much to some seasoned people or even the average person, That has blown my expectations out of the water. The one that is really staggering is the amount of favorites. I can't go but a few minutes between notifications on here, and my heart jumps a little bit every time I hear that chime.
Ok guys. Sorry for rambling. It's almost 5 am here, and I get a little emotional when I get sleep deprived. I just wanted to put this out there to show you guys how much the support means to me, and that I have big things planned for 20% Sweeter. If everything goes according to plan, i should get chapter 4 up tomorrow, and maybe even chapter 5 if I'm feeling up to it. I'm nowhere near done with this story, and DEFINITELY note done with this universe. But I've gone and said too much.
Alrighty guys. Once again, this is me, signing off.

I'm glad you asked that question! For right now, it's going to be mainly from Rainbow Dash's POV because she's starting to have these feelings that she never would have expected herself to have. As the story progresses and Rainbow makes these feelings known to Twilight, it will probably shift to more of a Twilight centered story. It will probably balance out to about 50/50 in the last few chapters.
I want to make sure both ponies are equally represented in this story. The timing just hasn't lent itself towards giving Twilight a bunch of screen time, as it were. Like I said above. There's plenty more to come from this story.
