EQD Featured?! · 1:43am Jan 1st, 2019
So, my one story, S.M.I.L.E. and Bear It just got featured on EQD today! And I only had to italicize a single sentence! I was so worried they’d want a rewrite of some kind, but that’s just me being paranoid, probably.
It’s cool it’s on there.
Well good for you my friend :)

Sake is dangerous...
4989030
It's a snek :3
4989099
It is! Thank goodness I don’t have to drink again till Smarch.
4989324
Not much of a drinker I take it
4989426
Used to be a much heavier drinker. I drink much less frequently now, mostly because I do drink more than I should when I do.
4989474
Ah, I see. Well at least you limit yourself for when you do
4989482
Yerp. How have you been? Have any stuff in the works?
4989529
Pretty good all in all I suppose.
No, not really.
Hope things have been good with you
4989531
Good to hear it’s going well.
Did you think you weren't ever going to do another story? Or you just don’t have anything at the moment?
Doing better than I have been.
4989536
Thanks
A bit of both really
Good to hear :)
4989541
Well, I know not everyone wants to do all the writing, it’s a ton of time investiture. Even just reading stories takes a ton of time, lol.
4989544
no kidding
4989546
I’m catching up on a fic right now by Calm Wind, it’s 1.9 mil words... and is not done yet. I’m about 700k words from being current on that story.
4989581
wowza.....really wowza....
4989596
I was intimidated by the length at first, but I am plowing through it, started November 22nd, already well over a mil words in. It’s totaly worth it. Good characterization, like I’m feeling for characters when stuff happens to them.
4989608
Awesome. I remember it took dedication to read a long story, just made myself do one chapter a day.
4989610
If I did that, it would take over half a year to read, there’s 159 chapters so far.
4989617
oh wowza........so much wowza.....
4989631
Totally worth it though.
4989638
I can imagine. What's it about exactly?
4989646
It is a story which follows how Rainbow Dash becomes a Wonderbolt and how she falls in love with Soarin. Well, that latter part actually happens in the two prequels, which I’d recommend reading first. First story Head in the Clouds is around 50k, the second Flying Sky High is around 100k. The big one is Piercing the Heavens. If you read them in order, you can get a feel really fast for whether you’ll like it, though the prequels are a little tougher due to him not having an editor. I should mention that there are full on fights in all three stories. Like... the Wonderbolts are a military organization, not just for shows.
Congratulations on the feature, Moosetasm. I hope you have many more. Getting onto Equestria Daily is harder than it looks, but it's also a real feather in one's cap, so always worth celebrating.
4989868
Yup yup. I was surprised it was all set to go without a bunch of revisions; I did do a ton of editing and polishing with Coffeeminion, which is prolly why it was so ready.
4989686
sounds like my cup of tea.
4990088
You should put them on your list then! I’d definitely recommend reading them in order, not just for continuity sake, but that way you can read the shorter ones first to see if you want to invest in the huge-fic.
4990102
That's just what I did :3
4990109
Woooo. May take you a while to read though.
4990110
Won’t be easy, but nothing worth doing ever is
Just saw it on EQD and popped right over to Fimfiction to offer my congratulations! You have just completed a feat that I have never once been able to accomplish!
4990233
Thanks tons. It did make me happy to see it on there.
I don’t know how that could be possible, I mean your stuff not having been posted over there; you write good, solid stuff. Have you tried submitting? It took a while to get an initial response (I submitted on December 2nd, got a response December 31st) but it eventually happened. I know they want you to be submitting stuff that’s had several editing passes; I think I
forcedasked Coffee to edit mine several times just to make sure their pre-readers wouldn’t send me to the moon (which is apparently a term they use) so if you just think it needs a polish pass or something, know that I did that a few times.Oh, that reminds me; (by remind I mean I tangented randomly) I wanted to ask you a question about your cuddlefic contest: You won’t be horribly irritated if your cameo in my snugglefic is as a corpse, will you? It’s just that it’s the Grim Darkness of the Grimdark far future, and... well, Grimdark.

This is true.
