Story Name: Interdependence (Working Title)
Genres/Tags: Romance, Drama, Equestria Girls, Sex, Sad (this last one is a maybe, simply because of the intense emotional stuff I'm aiming for. Doesn't really mean the story has a sad ending, though.)
Current Length: 17,492 words (or approx. 82 printer pages.)
Projected Total Length: 64,000 words? I'm aiming for 3-4k words each chapter, though this isn't a hard rule. I have 15 chapters outlined, but I've already had to split one into two, and I may tweak the story's course (which of course affects its length.)
Projected Release Date: Anytime before Valentine’s Day for the prologue and first chapter!
Summary: The Equestria Girls have gone on to college. They are in their sophomore year and have drifted apart, struggling with their diverging paths in life. Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy in particular are suffering from personal crises. Rainbow Dash because she's about to lose her scholarship, get kicked off the soccer team, and face abandonment from her narcissistic father. Fluttershy because she's struggling to find a way to make her talents work in a seemingly unforgiving adult world. Rainbow Dash comes up with a desperate scheme: leverage Shy's crush on her to skip out on a mandatory project in favor of focusing on sports. Do things go according to plan? No. Of course not. After all, falling in love was never supposed to be a part of the plan.
Pacing: Very gradual. There's a lot of emphasis on heightening sexual tension and raising the stakes for the external conflicts.
Help Needed: I welcome general plot feedback and the usual SPaG corrections. I try to get what I can, but truth be told, I have room for improvement. I am working on it, though. If you have an idea of how campus life is like, especially sorority houses, dorm living, and athletics, then that's a bonus. Another great thing would be if helpers had knowledge of psychology concepts. It's a major theme of the story. Off the top of my head, I've been told I have issues with adverbs, descriptors, and my syntax could use with improvement.
Additional Comments: I've been writing for many years. On a technical level, I'm aware of my shortcomings. If you're patient with me, I'll try and work to minimize any recurring mistakes. It's a new year, and I bought an advanced grammar course off Udemy, lol. Also, I'm writing the story on this writing program called Scrivener. I haven't found a way to streamline the formatting yet, so the process of transferring my work to google docs is a weensy bit slow. So far I have just the prologue and first chapter on google, but I've already started chapter 5 on Scrivener.
My pipe dream was to release 2 updates a week once the story is posted. This was just a hope, not a requirement.
If you're interested or have questions, just post them here or PM me! Once we've gotten on the same page in terms of expectations, I'll send you the G-Docs link.
