Two weeks, just over 10 pages (~6k words) and another 8 pages or so of notes.
Considering this is the first significant amount of writing I've done in nearly half a year, I'd say it's not too shabby.
Think I'll get a couple of chapters finished before I put it up on the site. Still need to find an editor...
TL;DR - writing good, moping bad.
Yay
It's fucking great to see you writing again!
Wait, how much do you need editing? I'm currently editing Upheaval: Breaking Point now that mid terms are done, but depending on how much you need editing - and what story? - I might be up to the job.

How much? 6k words at the moment...believe I said that in the first sentence. Unless you're referring to level of desperation for some editing, I would rate it somewhere around 'lukewarm'.
2535379 I read that part, but I didn't know if it was a new story, continuing WWRD, or something else.
If it's only 6K, I could easily do it tomorrow or friday.

New story. Sorry, thought anyone replying would be up to speed on the WWRD situation.
Also, I'm looking for something long-term, not a single shot of editing.
2535946 I know about Daring Do as well! Was just wondering if I needed to prepare for that and for something else.
If that's the case, now that mid-terms are over, I am more than happy to edit anything you write. Google doc it, and I'll get back to you moderately quickly. Need to return to Upheaval Breaking Point as well. Midterms will do that to you.
In any case, It'd be my pleasure to edit anything new that you write for the foreseeable future. You are hands down my favorite Apple/Dash, and one of my favorite authors period. Would love to help get you back into writing.

Well...I guess the only question left is how do you feel about a Sunset Shimmer fic?
2536461 In what setting? I haven't seen Rainbow Rocks yet, but I can certainly fix that.
It doesn't matter what genre you write, baring guro or something like that: I'd like to help you. I'm here to make sure that things flow smoothly, even if I may not care for the characters. I care about your style, and what message you are trying to convey. I'm here to make sure your message is consistent, and there isn't some sort of hiccup. I simply don't have enough information on Sunset to go one way or the other, but even if I did, you - or anyone I read - can change my mind. You did on Apple/Dash.
Anyways, the point is, is that I'm an objective editor who comes at work I'm editting to help you find your voice. Saying that, "I don't care for the character" doesn't even give you a chance to show me what you have to bring to the table. Too many editors shy away from things they 'might' not like from authors they love. I'm not one of those people.

Well I would certainly recommend seeing Rainbow Rocks eventually, it's not required for (in theory) first half of the story or so, as it'll take place between the two movies. It'll be in the Equestria Girls setting...probably 'slice of life' genre, or at least that's probably the closest thing I feel comfortable labeling it as for the time being.
Anyways...I think you've sufficiently proven your case. I'm still looking the first chapter's stuff but I'll send you a link to the google doc once its ready for your eyes.
2537337 The pleasure is all mine. While I did not expect it to be something that is part of the Equestria Girls universe, it doesn't matter in the end. I mean, it's not like I used to edit the stories of my peers who were in creative writing classes that may have involved humans. Oh wait...
Besides, that only means that you'll pull me in strictly by your writing, and I won't have any bias because it doesn't involve cute pastel colored ponies being adorable.

As has been the trend so far, I'm trying something new. I've never done slice of life. And, as far as my knowledge goes and despite what some people might say, I've never been an teenaged girl...so writing a story from the perspective of one will present its own challenge.
Well, I hope I can intrigue you with the first chapter. My main concern is 1) its boring as *#&@ that would cause people to scoop out their eyes with a melon baller rather than continue reading (but that's my fear with all my writings) and 2) it's not too heavy with the introspective. Granted, its a 1st person perspective story, so its going to involve a fair bit of it but I don't want to get heavy-handed with it.
