Email from EQD:
I'm happy to approve your story for posting on Equestria daily. you've captivated several of us pre-readers and we eagerly await the next update.
Quote from the post itself:
A truly exceptional story, this one will hook you and not let go. It is proof of witty banter's status as an art form
I assume not much will change other than (probably) total view count, but the next 24 hours or so might be interesting.
If I seem blase about this, it's because the two statistics I use to measure this story are the like/dislike ratio and, to a certain extent, how many readers drop the fic between the first chapter and the latest. More views isn't likely to change either of those measures. Still, this could be fun.
3593189 I wouldn't have submitted it at all if AA hadn't basically made me do it, to be honest.
You really do deserve this man.
Cool.
3593208 Since the submission is what introduced me to this exceptional fic, I'm very glad they did.
3593264 Oh hey, I recognize that name. I'm pretty sure you wrote both of the things I quoted in this blog. I'm glad you're enjoying the story.
Yo, I have a question. During the submission process I read through that list of submission guidelines, and two of the listed grounds for rejection were "pony on Earth" and "not pony enough." This is a PoE fic, so that's one. And then it's also... well, it's obviously a pony fic, but I think somebody could make a pretty good case that it's not as pony as a lot of other fics out there.
e: Expresses incredulity that this is my first fic on the site, suggests that my style is "incredibly similar" to that of someone named McPoodle. Whoa, there, buddy! We wouldn't want to be throwing around any accusations, yeah? Seems to me like it'd be a real shame if I and certain of my... associates... happened to hear a lot of noise from people comparing me to this "McPoodle" person. Spreading tall tales about how we're the same individual, or something. That'd be a shame, a real shame. A legally actionable shame. Almost an illegally actionable shame, haha!
Just kidding, no one who knows me would dare accuse me of breaking the law. Sleep tight.

I put in the witty banter bit, but yeah. And like Ferret, I also might never have found it if you hadn't submitted, so I'm thankful for Arcanist's pushing.
Also, I'm not seeing a "no Pony on Earth fics" rule in the guidelines, but I'm new over there, so maybe I'm just looking in the wrong place?
3593304 Whereabouts did you read that cuz I couldn't spot anything saying as much. If we've got out-dated stuff I want to make sure I can fix it asap.
3593597 That's funny; I was wondering if the two sentences were from two different people, since the quote is attributed to two different people and the second sentence doesn't really follow from the first.
That rule? I think I remember some kind of text file linked somewhere in the pages you have to fill out while submitting. I found it while trying to determine the exact rules about fics.
It's about time!! This story has been great since Chapter 1! Congrats!
You do deserve this.
Not like I had to drag you to this point kicking and screaming, though. That would be crazy.
bants as an art form, society has come a long way.

That's right baby, I'm a purveyor of all fine things. Feel free to thank me by posting my mediocre fluff on EqD :D
I shall say this in here too : Richly deserved, given how fantastic the story is
3593995 If you submit it and listen to any feedback we give, gladly n_n
