    A question of locations

    I'm working on a human AU fic, and I became curious. Some places in pony world (saddle arabia, for example,) are clearly analogous to countries in our world. There are also fanon stand-ins for real world countries, like neighpon for japan. So, in writing a human au, the question becomes, "do I stick with pony terms because it's a pony fan work, or do I use real world locations because the

    On the subject of Prominence

    So I put up a blog post about an upcoming story (then took it down shortly after cuz it's probably too early to be talking about that story) and in that post, I mentioned that I know what I want to do with Prominence, but each time I sit down at my computer to work on it, nothing comes out. I don't feel joy or motivation, I just feel pressure and a desire to move on to something more fun for me

    Just a thought

    So, I've seen a ton of people give Rarity the last name Belle, on account of Sweetie Belle. Which makes perfect sense to me. It's the only last name the family has, aside from the mother's "Crumbles."

    Considering collaboration

    I'm thinking about finding an editor. or a pre-reader. or maybe someone to co-write with on a project or two. I haven't made any firm decisions, I just feel like I should try this out, because I've really never done anything with another person before. I know not many people read my blog posts, few and far between though they are, but if any of you people who follow me might be interested, go

Prominence Chapter 6 IMPORTANT QUESTION FOR READERS · 10:00pm Oct 13th, 2014

I've noticed some mixed feedback on the sixth chapter of Prominence, so I made a poll.

http://goo.gl/ZA41i1

On Thursday the 16th, before I start my daily writing, I will check the results, and do my best to follow the wishes expressed therein.

this will necessitate me taking wednesday morning off. And I wasn't gonna write tomorrow anyway, I usually just write before work and I'm off tomorrow.

All hail democracy!

2530741 I'm trying to think of a joke about how we should put whether to hail democracy to a vote but it's just not coming together very elegantly.

2530748
That's democracy for you.

Hmm. If anything don't break the fourth wall in any way (so no Transformers references or anything). So in that way, less Pinkie I guess. It just doesn't fit this story in my opinion and therefore it breaks immersion. Also, the last sentence (with AJ and Rainbow) comes completely out of nowhere. I guess they have been at Rarity's boutique all this time? Since they do absolutely nothing after Fleur arrives, you might as well have them leave the boutique just before Fleur shows up. Pinkie feels a bit off in general. But that just means its your Pinkie, and that isn't necessarily a bad thing.

2530771 ...all I wanted you to do was vote...also I already took out the transformers reference. and they had been hanging out with their friends. one of them even mentions how fleur seems to enjoy dressing up the princess.

Ah, sorry. Just voting for "Reduce the pinkie" seemed a bit too much to me. I don't think Pinkie hijacking the chapter as you put it is a problem in of itself, and I didn't want to give that impression. So I decided to comment instead.

The only problem I had was that you wrote Pinkie as a bottomless well of randumb rather than as a real character.

(Also, I edited out the mean wording. It was probably too harsh even if it wasn't a personal attack.)

I agree on that point. Pinkie Pie could be made more three dimensional rather than two dimensional. But at least it was a few degrees above what some ponies give her in terms of personality [one dimensional stick of retarded dynamite strapped to an idiot ball].
