I don't know about you guys, but I certainly think this is quite the milestone for my first fanfiction! I am so glad that all of my hard work truly paid off in the end. And I've got all of you, my readers, to say thanks :)
I remember when I first started writing, I Couldn't Save You. I was roaming through countless pony artworks in deviantart looking for some inspiration. Something simple to hone my writing skills. This was due because my previous epic fanfiction I spent writing the whole winter break was a complete and utter failure. Back then I was a newbie, and I was entirely sure that it would be the next big hit in all of fimfiction... *bursts out laughing*.
Anyways, a certain user who proofread-ed my story saved me from experiencing the worst kind of nightmare for a writer: humiliation. I'll let you guess which was the user who saved me from myself. HINT: One of his stories is featured in my user page and it's a Sad one.
Despite of that failure, I didn't give up. After several hours searching for inspiration in deviantart, I found the original comic of I Couldn't Save You by ~Capt Nemo. I researched literally everywhere to see if there was a fanfiction of that comic. When I saw there wasn't, I swooped in for the kill and started writing it in the early February of this year.
And there you have it! After months of hard work and several proof-readings. I can safely say this was a successful project! I even submitted my story to Equestria Daily a few days ago. I want to see if it's worthy enough to be part of the big leagues.
One last thing, I want to thank CaffeineAndApples (CaffeinatedApples) for sharing this wonderful piece of art that goes really well with my fanfiction! Go ahead and give this guy some love for his art!
Squee!
