3. Treat any critique I have received with respect, even if I don't agree with it.

4. Treat pre-readers with respect.

5. Treat authors with respect.

6. Treat Equestria Daily with respect.

Guides and Other Help

Ezn's Guide"Don't panic!" Like the writer's omnibus and written by a non-American! It's full of useful stuff.

This is an article on correction punctuation of dialogue. It covers nearly all of the common problems and errors a newbie writer may encounter.

Kit's How to Disembowel a Pony Covers how to write gore tastefully. This'll probably be the most useful for people who find their stories getting knocked back for accidentally going full cupcakes.

Sithicus Helpicus Essentially, it's about trying to find your "voice" or main method of writing. Well worth a read.

Escher's hints A good, general purpose guide. Has a particularly decent section on the differences between florid writing and purple prose.

General Dialogue guide Much like the first, a general guide on how to punctuate dialogue. Also covers how to make conversations fluid and interesting whilst avoiding stilted expressions.

Tense guide Covers one of the other more common problems that are hard to fix: confusions over tense.

An auto-reviewer Like a grammar checker, but free. Has a nifty little passive voice function and is also useful in finding if you've repeated certain words too often.

Thanks to Aquillo for those last ones.

Suggestions of all sorts quite welcome. Either note Sunset Reed or post them in the Suggestion Thread
