Thanks guys
4234166 You are very welcome, my friend. Keep up the great work with everything.
You deserve it. Congrats.
Did you submit it? How does one Equestria Daily?
Not that any of my stories would be accepted. I'm just curious.
4234166
No problem.
I thought it was adorable, even for Pre-RR Sunset. XD
Ok honest question. What's the big deal with getting a story approved on Equestria Daily?
I ask having never visited the site but a lot of authors seem to be thrilled when they get approved.
Was just wondering.
4234189 It's very difficult to get a story approved there. Sometimes it takes years to pass EQD standards in editing. It's also just cool to see it up there.
4234197 ahh ok thank you. Didnt know if they helped get authors published or something.
4234205 No problem! You basically send the story to EQD and wait until a pre-reader approves it or not. If it doesn't make it, the pre-reader will tell you why it didn't get approved and what needs fixing.
4234166 You're welcome.
4234178 Just saw your edit. You basically send the story to EQD and wait until a pre-reader approves it or not. If it doesn't make it, the pre-reader will tell you why it didn't get approved and what needs fixing. It took a long while for me, but perseverance paid off eventually. They'd love your stuff!
Hooray, the snob club deigned to allow your lowly horsewords to grace their overwrought corner of the web.
(Sorry, I have...issues with the way EqD treats fanfic writers. Which is why I've never submitted one of my stories and never will. They frankly think too highly of themselves...)
4234290 Have you read any of my stories? I don't think I could write something to par. Especially if Sandbox is an example.
I haven't bothered submitting, because the snobs will probably call me out on something ridiculous.
But congratulations!
Do they send you a message if you get on EQD? Or do you have to figure out yourself?
4234312 SO do i, i also have a problem with the way they accept FAN ART. EVery time iv'ed tried to send something in it never gets accepted. -__-, so i'm with you on both fronts man.
IF only they'd accept my fan art ive tried submitting. I also have issues with the way EQD handles that. Good for you though Summer :)
4234502 To be honest, Sandbox really isn't up to their standards. Starlight Glimmer and Sunset Shimmer are dead is a better example.
4234571 The pre reader sent me an email, and it just pops up.
4234585 Huh. I thought they always accepted fan art
4235815 Yikes. They went THAT full retard on you?
4235815 O.O
WHAT.
4235843 That's unnerving I'm sorry they did that.

4235843 It honestly doesn't surprise me. What galls me is that EqD's prereaders have appointed themselves the gods of horsewords, and people just keep worshipping them and feeding that inflated sense of self-importance. They're like Anton Ego. I refuse to acknowledge them because they have absolutely no business treating writers that way.
That's why FiMF is a superior venue for horsewords. Even if your work is complete and utter shit, at least you can get it out there and people can tell you what you need to do to make it better. (Or just enjoy mercilessly ripping it apart.) And if you're a legitimately good writer, you can draw an audience and build a community of readers and peers and mutual appreciation (like I have done here on FiMF) without having some entitled little assknocker shutting you down arbitrarily because your story doesn't personally appeal to them.
4235860 I find better fics here than on EQD.
4235882 Yeah, but there's more on here than on there.
Nice.
Awesome! How long did it take to submit it? :D
4274608 Few weeks.
4275005 OK! I'm going to see if I can get my latest story featured; that's why I was asking! ;)
