cks you designed to be ~exotic~ or whatever, and those rabid jerks at Disney can only grit their teeth now!
Update, Horse Feathers got rejected for now · 8:32pm Sep 23rd, 2014
Thank you for submitting your story for Equestria Daily. Unfortunately, I regret to inform you that I cannot recommend it for posting in its current state. Though the pre-readers are no longer providing specific feedback to most submissions, I recommend you consult our Editor’s Omnibus or Ezn’s Guide for information on the common storytelling faults we see. It also provides links to editing and proofreading resources you can pursue on your own, too.
This rejection does not count as a strike. Take your time with revisions, and resubmit your story when it’s ready.
Sincerely, Pre-Reader Censured.
Bugger.
Really thought this fic was at the stage were I'd at least get specific feedback.
Gotta admit, I would have really, really, really wanted at least a one line reason why. Grammar? Content? Not enough burnination for a Dresden story?
Just for the record, though:
I trust my editors, but they and I are for now just mortal! If you spot ANYTHING, please make a comment about it! Sometimes I may forget for a bit, but I always come around to fixing stuff sooner or later!
Oh well... At least that damn strike system got tweaked. Better luck next time, right?
In more positive Dresden news, look what I found!
Oh, and...
I really need to track that darn show down.
I agree that it is dumb that they don't at least give a one line statement, or even a 1 word hint.
If you like the Dresden books, don't bother with the show ... it hurts.

Well, technically I also got a link to their editor omnibus... but I'm fairly certain that is standard protocol and not a hint.

I've actually heard that as long as you can get past that its a totally different take and continuity, (were many of the liberties was cruel necessitates due to budget, at that) then it's a really good show.
It just happens to be a giant standing in the shadow of a titan when compared to the books.

That is the same tactic opposing lawyers use in corporate lawsuits to make it impossible to find the document they want.
I can't say I didn't see this coming. This is why I don't give Equestria Daily any credit. I've found a few good stories on there (Through the eyes of another pony, and Fallout Equestria), but aside from not being able to sanely search, they have rejected quite a few epic stories. I wouldn't get too upset about it.
Some people even use "Rejected from EQD" as a badge of honor.
There's way too many fics for EqD to keep up with now. Plus, the reviewers are often plagued with biases, who reportedly have more negative opinions of a story genre they dislike, and don't try to switch with someone who's neutral or like it.
I pretty much stopped using EqD anymore.
The Dresden Files show is on Hulu if you have access to that.
