Hi! I'm a creative writer with a drive to become a better storyteller. :D
The Royal Canterlot Library featured "The Legend of the Gift Horses" on their website, and in their group here on FimFiction.net! It's so exciting. I love hearing that people enjoy my stories, and right now I'm in the middle of writing a creative novella for a thesis project (which has had many twists and turns of its own). So the news really gave an added boost to my confidence as a storyteller
Yay! Tirek's Shadow has reached 1,000 views. 
I just felt like celebrating that a little bit. ^_^
Whew! Things have gotten so busy in my life lately, preparing for the graduate program in Literature & Writing Studies to begin in the fall and looking around for a place to rent nearby.
Hi, on the great advise of several people here on FimFiction.net, I have made some revisions to my story, Spike's Pet--although this is mostly right at the end and in terms of what happens to Roots.
I hope everyone enjoys the changes! ^_^
Over the weekend, I received the wonderful news that Equestria Daily would feature "The Legend of the Gift Horses," and they just posted it today. It's such an honor, and thank you to everyone who commented and provided feedback. ;3
Just out of curiosity: What does everyone think is an appropriate length for the prologue to a story? And at what point would it be better to count a longer prologue as the first chapter of a tale instead (in terms of word count, etc.)?
Thanks!

I gues it is differend for every story?
2738206 I guess so. It's probably whatever feels appropriate. ^_^
The purpose of a prologue is to set the stage for the action happening within the story. It should be used to give any vital information to the readers that they wouldn't know otherwise, or to provide a backdrop to the rest of the story.
That being said, a prologue needn't be lengthy to the point of telling a story in itself, and it shouldn't tell the story the main chapters do either. As long as one follows those guidelines, a prologue can be any length, though a shorter introduction is usually for the better.
2742827 Thanks for the valuable insight! That's a pretty nice description of a prologue, and what one can accomplish by doing it just right.
2742840 No prob. Keep rockin'.
2742847 I will do my best, and best wishes to you as well!
