Silver Verse Volunteers · 10:49pm Jan 4th, 2016
Do you want to go to Equestria? Would you answer yes if you were asked?
Well, shoot, now you're in for it. Welcome to the Silver Verse! I want to do a collab chapter or three with an eager writer who will play the role of themselves. You've managed, after an undefined amount of adventure, to either find or be brought to Canterlot, to meet with the pony in charge of helping humans out, Silver Lining. He'll be happy to listen to the story of your adventures, why you'd want to come to Equestria, and help to fit you in among the ponies.
Sound fun?
Let me know!
If we get enough interest, we could even do a series of interviews and stories within the story, as Silver and his humans work to get past problems, with the help of the power of friendship.
It definitely sounds interesting, but I'm not the best writer. I'd like to be part of it if you can get past that.

3664538 Have you written a fic before? Does doing 1k/day horrify you beyond words?
What is the self?
3664554 Self?
3664553 I've written 1 complete one which was bad. I wrote a sequel to it on hiatus which is equally bad. I'm currently writing two that are rather successful. One of which had gotten to the featured box once in it's early days. As for the 1k words a day thing, I never release a chapter with less than 1k anymore. It's unfair to the reader in my opinion to do that.
Not if the Text is responsible. That guy's a bastard.
3664566 But would you know? You could get an email from a friend asking. You said yes? Off you go!
3664561 I'm presuming we're writing roughly half of a 2k chapter. I do my work in google docs for collabs and we both type our parts. I like to do daily releases.
Evryday writing. Eeech, as much as I would fit with my easygoing, unconflicting and unprecize personality I must say no. But I'll be watching this stuff with eyes big as pennys!
Lets do it!
As much as I'd love to, I'm way too busy (not only with work, but with trying to get back to writing, and working on two other outstanding collabs) to get Nathan in on the action
3664588 May I ask a few questions before going along with this? I'm going to assume yes and go ahead and ask them if not then just ignore this and cut me out now.
1. Do you require me for more than 1 chapter. If so then how many would you need exactly? (This is mostly so I don't get bored and leave you hanging.)
2.When would we begin?
3. Is there any particular story that I should read before writing with you or am I completely free from that?
4.If I do go along with this, I am going to use a fake name. (I know it's not a question, but I refuse to put my real name on here)
5. I don't know.
Thank you for taking your time to read this and answering my questions. If you don't then it's perfectly fine.
3664553
Yeah, that 1k/day horrifies me.
I keep imagining myself getting anxious, spending many hours in the evening after work trying to push out 1k words, and then ultimately letting you (and other readers!) down.
And then fantasizing about actually destroying the anxiety I allow to control my writing habits via exposure and forcing myself through it, and how great that would be.
Right before going back to terrified of failing at that, and turning writing into a chore that I must overcome daily.
It's a rollercoaster.
Ivd actually been meaning to do a silververse fic for sometime now XD
3664556
Veep. What is the self?
3664607 Silly pony, stop focusing on that. Just be ready to reply when I reply. We reply to each other, and we hit the goal in no time if you're attentive.
3664606 Well it's based on the Silver Verse, so that'll be handy to have. We can start as soon as you're ready! Other than that, looks fine. We stop when you want to stop and write an exit.
3664609 You, the guy/girl typed that question.
3664608 I'd love to see it!
3664613
That's so much reading!
Sounds interesting enough but I'm afraid of burning myself with that schedule. Not burning as "Oh God I can't do this" but as "...What Now?". Writer's block is my worst enemy.
I'm also not native to the English language and I'm known for plaguing my stories with many grammatical errors. Other than that it sounds pretty neat, but as others said, it would be good to know a bit more than just what you put above.
3664614
I think you're missing the point of my question. I'm asking which self you want.
3664624
3664629 Here is the one post to answer them all!

Except my poor guy would have to get there from griffin lands
3664638 Whichever 'you' you're comfortable with writing? Preferably the one that came from Earth and, for whatever reason, agreed to come to pony land.
3664642 I'm sold! Get to writing!
Do the humans come to Equestria as humans or transformed into ponies? I'm guessing the former.
3664659 As humans, but, so far, there are plenty of ways you could end up on hooves.
It is not a sure thing though. There are also humans that stayed humans and are alright with that.
3664641 I just read through it all and find the universe extremely interesting. I don't see why I can't pitch in for a chapter or two. Nice to meet you, you can call me CJ for now and in the story. (I figure initials are fine.)
Crap. A chance to collab on your side so I'm better acquainted to yout stylings (and our own collab to eventually be restarted whenever you feel it), but I don't do self-inserts.
Count me in
3664641 Alright, that covers most of all. Now, how is this going to work? I mean how will be the writing process and stuff? I would like to participate in this but I'm a bit unsure about the quality of my work.
3664710 I need an email! Feel free to PM me.
3664730 I need an email! PM me.
3664673
3664721 So many answers! This is not a no! I will get you guys. Let's do two to start, then I'll grab you fine gents and get to writing! Get Hype!
3664751
W3ll it may have to wait till tommmorw for me since im going to work fairly soon
Knowing my luck, I type maybe a couple thousand words a day in comments on various forums, but havent got a chance to actually doing it when required.
As for ending up in Equestria? Im too old now and picking up all the wear, tear and illnesses, and 20 years ago you wouldnt want me cos of being near Stu class.
Cos I was too dumb to not realise I shoudlnt have been. Finally got registered HFASD, so not exactly decent story material there.
Even my GM has to drop on me every so often to keep me within normal gaming limits, but I occasionally come up with stuff for him, like alternate uses for an oscilating fan.
Im happy to stick with being the guy who assists the guy behind the camera. At least Pinkie talks to you there, if noone else.
3664588 i volunteer as tribute.
Haha, I am so tempted.
3664751 Coolness.
I'm very interested in the collab, if it was possible.
If this is still open I'd love to give it a go with you, are slightly non-pony or fully non-ponies open though?
3666201 You're a human behind the screen I imagine? Do you mean after you got here and something happened that you're going to have to explain in story?
3666219 Hmmm? to the first part I mean and I was thinking the part of coming to Equestria involved them becoming ponies normally from what I got but if not that works. I was meaning if they were a hippogryph or gryphon in particular. I'm currently reading through the Silver stories so don't know all the particulars of the rules.
3666237 The rules! https://www.fimfiction.net/group/206969/silver-verse/thread/164879/canon
It's tempting, but I'm stuck using library computers for the moment, and they're limited to 90 minutes per day.
3666239 well when and where would you be interested in starting?
3664757
3664899 Ok, PM me your emails guys, you two are next! Let's DO THIS!
