Rejected · 7:06pm Oct 13th, 2013
Hey guys. Patriotic Pony here, with some bad news.
Discord's Tales of Equestria received its first rejection strike on Equestria Daily. The reasons given are:
Tell-heavy narration
Adverb overuse
Unnecessary dialogue
Capitalization of "Your Highness"
Irrelevant details
Bad French
Lots of mangled words and all-caps (e.g. TEEELL MEEE!)
I can understand most of these, and am grateful that they took the time to list these, and I will take steps to fix them. However, while most of these are very simple, others will require a third party to examine them. So, I am putting out a request for anyone who's interested to become my proofreaders. They must be able to find anything and everything related to the above in future chapters, and provide criticism where necessary. Patience is also a must, as I am all over the place with writing, editing, and publishing.
The proofreaders will be allowed to view the chapters at any time before their completion to assist me. Anypony interested just needs to comment on this post or the story, and give me a reason or so as to why you should be selected. I'm currently looking at having only three.
Thank you for your time, and I'll resubmit the story at a later time. Patriotic Pony, out.
