Well, it's in Twilight's Library now, anyways. Knowing how how much to promote your own fanfics on your own group is a tricky matter, though. I get very tempted to try to use my group to promote things I've written recently, too, like Making Friends and On a Rainy Day. I tend to compromise by making sure I mention them with links in just about any post I write in a thread.

With The Tears Of a Siren, the fact that the only tags are Other and OC work against you, since people tend to look first at fanfics with characters they like.

And the description might stand a bit of tweaking. What the first sentences people read is important, since if people are skimming through fanfics, they won't even necessarily read the whole thing. Perhaps modifications along this line? (Basically removing the first two lines, and tweaking the rest.)

Each night, as she lay in bed, the sea called to her, and the tide pulled at her bones. Soon, Siren Song will have to answer its summons, lest her nightmares consume her. She will find herself mounting a perilous journey, and her reality will be shattered forever in its wake.

Please feel free to leave comments and suggestions. Currently seeking cover art. Rated teen for fantasy violence.

You're right, I do need a better hook. For my first story it was the platypus in a canon.
Also they won't be near Canterlot or Ponyville... so no other tags I guess. *shrug*

This video is just... Wow.

SUBMITTED FIRST STORY, Y'ALL!!!!!!!

...aaaaaaaand it was denied because it couldn't pass as teen rated.:flutter cry:
....so I MADE THE NECESSARY CHANGES AND RESUBMITTED IT!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, unless Luna walks into her nightmares...

Glad you liked the edit to the description, btw.

If you want, you can also promote it on the Story Promotions thread.

And if you want someone to review it, just make a post on Writting Help thread.

You know what every group chat could use? CREEDENCE!!!

670559

Well, that sounds good!

670616

Dude, It's Creedence. Sounding good is in their job description.

so cute... squee.

Cute things you say?

You know, I don't think any Fraggle Rock has had any songs posted here yet. I'll have to fix that...

Oh my. Ok, whatever you might think of tomorrow's episode, this is awesome.

[youtube=2H82h3SmCGo]

Well, I did shed some liquid pride at today episode. XD

Hello?....HELLO?....IS ANYPONY OUT THERE?!!?

(silence)

My god...It's happened. I'm the last person on this thread...

There's nothing left. I'm alone. Marooned on a desolate thread that has been rendered but a cemetery of what has been...It's all over.

Well...seeing as this truly is the end...I guess I'll just log off now. I'm sure I'll be forgiven...I know I'll be forgiven...

(wavers cursor over "logout")

...

...wait a minute...

(sees remaining fanfics)

The fanfics...that's right! How could I forget about the fanfics? Why, there's enough literature here to last me the whole week!...and the week after that...and the week after that...and the week after that!

All these works of literature, and no one to share it with! And the best part, THE VERY BEST PART...now there's time...all the time I need, all the time I want...

Time, time, time...there's time enough at last!

(Leans over to pick up beverage, but loses glasses when they fall off)

MY GLASSES!

(Searches blindly for glasses, only to find them shattered on the ground)

But...there was time...all the time I needed...

(cries while surrounded by fanfics I can now never read)

Boo!

Have i introduced myself yet? I probably did.
I probably already self-advertised my fic too.

I'm Nyte-Blade. Just a guy who got inspired to write by watching MLP.
Can you believe It? I'm a bit of a script-writer for Visual novels. At least that's what I'm starting out anyway. Hey-oh!

But alas... I'm just here to write, and occasionally read a story or two whenever I have the time.

*gasp* MORE SURVIVING MEMBERS!

829648

Oh. XD I am always here, I just don't post too much.

I keep more doing administrative work: changing fanfics folders and such.

I was also choosing a fanfic per week... but sadly I never got many suggestions, so I stopped it.

829908
Is the thread always this deserted?

830026

Well, it was far more activity. At least on the forums.

Nowadays people use it more only to publish fanfics... and to request reviews every now and then.

I'm bored, so have a random cartoon.

[youtube=wyhwVEz8jSU]
I find Perry oddly adorable.

838364

Oh, Spliced?

I love Spliced!

I like the new Japanese dub, but I still think AJ sounds off.

And don't even get me started about the mayor.

[youtube=d0aAPQmE_Is]
pffft!

I'm an admin of a group I'd like to link to here, as it needs more members,

It's a nice, friendly group that specializes in being a safe haven and getting more viewers for fics that are constantly hated for no good reason.

I saw "Now You See Me" yesterday.

It sucked.

1062999

Really? What was it about?

By the way, we also have a new group symbol. At least until we get a new one.

1063611
It's about a group of magicians who rob banks (even ones from other countries) and give the money to their audiences.

It sounds cool, but the characters are ungodly lacking development.

1063638

So they are like this?

1063736
Sort of. They've sort of aiming towards certain characters, but half the time you have no idea who to root for: the magicians, the FBI, Morgan Freeman, they never develop the characters enough for us to pick the intended side. Heck, there's moments where the magicians (who we're supposed to be rooting for) are acting completely obnoxious towards the FBI and another one where they escape by having hypnotized audience members tackle Mark Ruffalo as he's chasing them.
