If I eat myself, will I disappear or grow twice my size? - Ouroboros
iCarly is the worst sitcom ever created and the revelations about Dan Schneider are not at all surprising.
So, being the Pokemon fan I am, I of course have dabbled in Nuzlockes. And given I had downloaded one of the OGs on my 3DS, I wanted to try my luck at it. This was quite a few years back, so I don't remember most of the stuff that happened, but I do remember the key moments around the end.
You'll probably like it's inspiration; one of AgrolChannel's first videos.
I just outted BioShock as the greatest video game ever, which I stand by. You can come at me with all the Marios and Zeldas you want; BioShock is the peak of video game storytelling and corresponding gameplay. Indeed, I would say that the BioShock franchise as a whole is the best story in video game history (aside ffrom Burial at Sea, but put that to the side). From the deep sea depths of Rapture
Holy smokes! Remember what I said in the previous blog? Well, Saving the Siren has been featured! My first featured story!
In other news, some prick just disliked half my stories just to be a prick... Oh, well. I GOT FEATURED!

Congrats! I'm still far from being featured, though.
4621303
Thanks, brother. And don't worry, you'll get featured eventually.
It was up there at some point quite a bit earlier, even; the Featured bookshelf puts it below Burnonomics (which was published back in April) when sorted by date.
Congratulations either way, though
Congrats. Wish I could get featured at least once...
4621320
Thanks, and that's good to hear.
4621323
Thanks, and perhaps if you tried a chapter story? That's what Saving the Siren is.
4621328 In progress of a few in fact. If memory serves, you were a proofreader of one of them. Some of them are nearly done so... there's that.
4621335
But will they be good? Or in your case, have believable dialogue?
4621338 Ow... cut me real deep there. So your saying my stories sucked before? I'm sorry, I didn't know that...
4621345
No, no. I'm not saying they sucked, it's just that you usually have an issue with keeping the dialogue in character. Half the time, it seems like your trying to write Shakespeare.
4621352 ? I'm not sure how to respond to that. I'll admit, it's not perfect but I wouldn't say they're OCC(Expect maybe my Siren story witch is AU). To go back a point, I have several editors looking them over witch is why I haven't published in awhile so... I would hope they are good.
4621361
Well, considering what I've seen, I don't think your editors do a very good job... Perhaps I should elaborate.
Your stories aren't bad per say, but they tend to suffer from repeated problems: OOC dialogue (as I mentioned), plot points that have no point (Pound getting physically injured, Apple Bloom getting attacked without Scootaloo getting PTSD, etc.), and at times, it goes too fast and bare-boned for me to empathize with the characters (all of How Could I Forgot?). Consistant problems that your editors always miss.
Not to be rude, but they seem rather incompetent.
4621380 I can agree with most of what your saying. OCC being the only debatable one since some say the opposite(although I can see your point/s.) Pound getting hurt had a reason/s but could've been handled better. Apple Bloom being hurt believe it or not has much more of a reason then the former(I will not spoil it here as the story already points it out...). As for the fast pace/bare bone bit (the former being understandable and the latter varying from person to person) can vary. I do see where your coming from and as stated previously(in a unrelated message), most of my editors before that were there to point out the grammar, spelling, eta... not the story itself. Since I found 2(3 if I count my friend) that are willing to point out flaws in my stories, I can work on longer/more challenging stories knowing they will point out any/all flaws in them. Still, I assumed that they were at least decent considering the like/dislike ratio(Yes, I know I shouldn't rely on that but considering what little notice I have, can you fault me?), I thought I was doing alright. Especially with my mother's Day story.
4621390
They do grammar errors? I do story errors.
Also-
Good save there since some of those editors are more liked/loved then me.
4621392 Well, grammar/spelling. Or to be blunt, some of the basic writing stuff.
4621393
Their reputation means nothing to the King!
4621398 Oh good lord. Regardless, I pour my heart&soul into them. I should note that one of my stories that didn't have any editors manage to have the most likes and that was back in 2016. So... somehow, they've gotten worse as a result. Granted, it was with Fluttershy&Rainbow Dash(nob shipping) but still. That says a lot when a non-edited story have a better rep then a edited one.
OK, better yet, what should I do? Because from what your saying, your suggesting that with editors, it's somehow worse yet I need them to make sure it flows well and then some.
4621402
Yes, I noticed that.
4621406 The former or the latter? Also, I just realized your story is two upvote's shy from my mother's day story lol. And your story is 2 months older then mine.
Congrats
4621405
Well, you could get a proofreader who would take note of the unneeded/poorly done story elements... but the only person who could do that is me... and I already tried to do that in the Pound and Pumpkin story when Pound got injured for no reason... but you didn't care and no one else called bullcrap on it.
Really, I'm the only person calling out these things, so the real question is: How much do you care about what I think?
4621411
Looks like I beat you to the punch.
4621415 A)It's not that I didn't care. I just couldn't think of anything else and it seemed fine for the most part... B)I care about what any/everyone says. After all, I do write for fun/creativity. C)Dawn sometimes proof reads my stuff. He's one of the people who looked over Trails&Chats after all. I don't always ask him as to not bother him and he has his own content to write as well.
4621411 Didn't expect you here
4621419
Well, if you want me to be your proofreader, I'd take the job.
And yeah. Amethyst and I have a... complicated relationship.
4621421 That would be lovely. However, I have since started writing more... mature(Teen)/serious content so there's that. I should also note that a lot of my stories are possible because of my Co-Writer(Friend) so a lot of them are 1at drafts and nowhere near completely done. The more serious one being a Siren story we started back at the beginning of the year and just barely done with the first arc
Congrats King! You've earned this!
Also how complicated?
4621430
Yeah, well, I'm fixing to work on a super long fic called Equestria Girls: The Walking Dead, so...
4621437 ? Elaborate plz.
4621417
Yep.
4621431
Thanks, brother.
4621434
Not your business.
4621446
It's an AU where the EQG world is thrown into a zombie apocalypse and the characters have to survive in the style of The Walking Dead.
4621452
By the way, only 1 follower away.
Congrats!
4621457 Aw. I thought we were pals
4621514
Thanks.
4621527
We are, but the deal with me and Amethyst is a complex and ugly business and you have no business in it.
4621629 Ow... my heart
4621634
Is your heart made of glass or something?
4621639 Well considering who your talking to... I say yes
4621643
Are your balls glass too? Or are they tinfoil?
4621644 Whoa, let's take a step back lol.
4621652
Congrats!
The feeling of having one of your babies featured is great.
4621681
You're telling me!
4621660 Uh, I need an adult.
4621722
I am an adult...... What do you need me for?
4621725 Not sure lol. Also. Who dislikes you comment?
But in all seriousness, A)Great job. B)I'll be sure to do better.
4621765
No idea. Probably just some jackass with no sense of humor.
EDIT: Make that two.
4621766
Thanks, and my offer is still up for grabs.
4621771 I'll inform you of when my next story is going to be out(as in, final check)
