    EQD failed us.

    So we wont be featured on EQD. While this saddens us greatly, we will continue the story. The hardest part was that the pre-reader enjoyed it, and still failed us. Well, if anything all this means is that everyone who subscribes will have to spread this story word of mouth. We will not let this little set back deter us from making the greatest story of Brony kind. We will make EQD wish they did

    Re-writing: EQD Ho!!!

    So as to not rob those who have already read chapter 1 of Tales of a Dreamer. We here at The Dinky Society would like to inform you that we will be doing massive rewrites to chapter 1 in order to get it to EQD standards. Once this is done, we'll send a notice telling you all to re-read our rewrite. Look forward to it!

    Introductions

    Born from the Fallout Equestria: Side Stories commuinity. We took it upon ourselves to answer a question. Can you make a story from a single image? Tales Of a Dreamer is that story. So sit yourself down, because your in for a wild adventure full of D'awwsome.

thats the spirit !
oh and why is EQD so important for everyone (or at least seems to be) ?!?! as long as your story is here and people like it, everything is fine i think ...

We thank you for the kind words. As for EQD, its more like we're all whores for attention. "Hey! Look at what i wrote." says the FimFic writer. And EQD is almost a guaranteed tripling of your fan-base

Until then, Word of mouth adverting will have to suffice. To everyone who enjoyed Tales of a Dreamer, tell your friends to give us a read. And tell them to tell others.

EqD is very picky, the smallest mistake might mean a fail. So, when one of your stories makes it, most wear it as a badge of honour. Also, it's one of the best ways to expose your work. Readers from EqD expect the best.

I hoped I did my part in spreading it!

Their attitude is rather hypocritical though, looking at the tripe they let through in the past. A lot of it seems to come down to the personal preference of the prereaders.

Some.

Yet, for the most part it's undeniable that the standards are much higher.

I don't think it just to judge them on what they allowed to pass at the very beginning, when MLP fanfiction was still fresh. Recently (6-10 months) the standards have been pretty high.

What about fan fiction vs comics then? They seem to post absolutely every fan created MLP comic they find, no matter how pointless.

789034 This is a good point, actually. I don't have a problem with them being picky over stories, but it does seem weird that they are so strict on fiction and then they post up lame comic strips. It would be nice to see the same stringent methods to all the media. I suspect that the other arts don't have pre-views. The mods just see them and throw them up. I don't know if that is true, but that's my theory.
