AKA: ScarletDuke; I'm an old story writer, trying to get back on the pony. As of 2024, I really just want to finish something.

    Life is short, write ponies

    Sigh... I feel like a complete failure.

    It was about four and a half years ago I said I was going to get back into writing, the next chapters of With Rainbow Hair and My Little Destiny were on the way, and I was going to finally finish Sibling Rivalry and get started on its sequel, Tales of Faust, which focuses mainly on Scootaloo and her new vocation.

    Return to the Fiction

    I haven't written anything related to fanfiction, or any type of prose, in over five years. That's actually why I've been avoiding this site for so very long. Partially out of having nothing to actually post, but also embarrassment. At first, it was just college, but then it became something else. I love writing, and cannot believe I ever stopped. And... well rather than go into great detail, I

    Regarding Sibling Rivalry

    I recently wrote a review of the Avengers, which will be posted by noontime Monday on my website. And I opened it thusly:

    Sometimes, you have to know what you’re doing. Where you’re going. What your purpose is.

    I never quite understood this until recently.

    Return to Sibling Rivalry

    It feels like so long ago that I last wrote anything fictitious.

    I actually enjoy writing. It's a great way to share your thoughts with the world. But lately most of my thoughts haven't been on the continuing adventures of fictitious ponies in the land of Equestria. Recently, I spent my time writing about Tron; Star Trek; and Littlest Pet Shop, my new favourite cartoon.

    Another cry for help!

    Once again, I must put out a call for editors. Particularly this week, I’m gonna need some real a-holes to look for any and all errors in my work.

    The reason I’m putting out this call once again, is that so far, I’ve failed to find any usable assistance. A problem which I detailed here.

A personal request · 9:11pm Sep 12th, 2012

To all writers who currently follow my amazing work: I have small favour to ask of you.

Just recently I tried changing up my writing techniques, and without giving up too much information, let's just say it involved a visit to a psychiatrist.

Anyway, my hope was that, with this new plan, I would be able to put out my stories even faster, which means I might be able to finish all of them within the next decade. However there's a problem: I'm not sure how it affected the quality of my writing.

So here's my request. If anyone has some free time, would you mind visiting my website and reading A Waking Dragon and tell me if you notice a change in style or a drop in quality in the most recent chapter (chapter five).

I'm not sure if there is, but even so, I need to ask a second set of eyes, because I'm obviously biased.

To all those curious, the whole story is around 15,000 words, so I'll understand if you don't want to read it, I just have to ask.

Alright, I'll give it a look. What am I looking for? A change of pace, style, what?

Thanks. Any of the above.

354707 Ok, Well, after I get done with my physics hw, (which should be in a couple of minutes,) I'll give it a look and see if I can spot a difference.

“But be realistic,” he explained. “You’re still a little foal, you’re still in school, you can’t run a dress shoppe all on your own!”

Small mistake I noticed. (Sorry, the editor in me won't shut up when I see a mistake :twilightsmile:)

Ok... finished the first chapter... That.. is an interesting concept. Stuck inbetwix two worlds, trying to keep life up in both. Anyway, ONTO CHAPTER 2!

Chapter 2: GODDAMN! Also, Hermit Fluttershy? Lol.. Intense chapter man!

... This story.. is awesome. Is it submitted here? *Checks* YES! Insta Fave! This story is AWESOME! By the way, in chapter five I had this playing. It worked on so many levels!

Onto the style. Not really! It was better then how you began, but overall, I didn't notice any changes in the styles.

I have to say though, you're only one person. But thank you. I'm really glad you like it, and I'm really glad you didn't notice any change in style. It certainly calms my nerves. :pinkiehappy: Now onto my other works. I noticed you faved Sibling Rivalry. If all goes well, I should have the next chapter out early October. Not that you asked, but it's been on Hiatus for a long time, so I figured you might like to know.

By the way, that song...oh fuck yeah, that's appropriate.

354948 :D YAY! I got insiders info... Wait.. you put it here... on public access.. FACK! dl.dropbox.com/u/31471793/FiMFiction/emoticons/sillyfilly_Rainbow_Dash.png Meh... Anyway, I may be one person.. but I am one ANALYTICAL fucker. If I didn't notice any changes, either I need sleep, or they're not there.
