Status Update On That Next Chapter (or: why you need an editor) · 8:11pm Jan 25th, 2015
So I'm about 3/4ths of the way done with the chapter. First half of the main clop scene is done; second one needs a little planning. Then my editor pointed out that the story disgusted her - Vinyl was downright evil and manipulative, James was a bit too dopey and gullible and character-less... Seriously, he was like the worst kind of dopey, do-nothing protagonist who just goes along with everything, which makes about no sense given his previous characterization.
THIS IS WHY YOU NEED EDITORS. YOU CAN MISS THINGS LIKE THIS.
Big props to Laury. So I had to rewrite that part, and I'm going to have to think hard about how I'm working everything into the story.
I'll try to have it up before my exams start, but if it's not up by the 2nd, it probably won't be up before the 20th. Sorry guys.
Boy do I know that feeling. Had that issue my self once, but thank Celestia for good friends and editors. Good luck on the next chapter friend.
It's nice that you have an editor who is completely honest with you, I'd imagine they are hard to come by.
well, a premise for clop is a premise for clop, but it shouldn't be that forced and unbelievable, is what I said. (it really was kinda stupid)
I am supportive, though, and will keep on looking over it even though I still am not the biggest fan of where this is going.
personal taste probably
