Good news, friends and faithful listeners! My reading for P E T R I F I E D by was featured on Equestria Daily just the other night.
Head over to this EQD article regarding Hasbro's confirmation.
So I submitted Kingdom of Avia and later Bad Luck for a Bad Manager to EQD- got rejected, and they actually gave a legit reason this time! (Though I suspect they didn't read beyond the first chapter for both stories).
I'm probably going to submit all my currently-published stories as time goes on, and get rejected each time- I'm keeping score!
I realize it's my own fault. But when they don't even give you ways to improve, and subtly hint that your grammar sucks (which it does NOT), I still feel the need to get angry . . . .
Well, at the advice of one of my readers, I'll be trying my first-ever submission to Equestria Daily. I'm currently in the process of editing Pharynx Goes Monster Shopping, making minor tweaks for now, some big edits may be coming. If you like the story as is, download it now. I have noticed some little things that are objectively wrong, which I'll also tweak soon, but that'll be with all the changes in place.
Ahoy-hoy, Gentle Menne and Womenne of Leisure!
...
... Yes, I'm just as surprised as you guys that I didn't disappear for a few more years after posting Hero of the Day. Even more surprising, I'm actually gonna post something else tonight, so keep your eyes peeled for whenever the self-insertmoderation thing kicks in!
So, I wanted my second Cozy Glow story to be showcased on Equestria Daily, right? Apparently, the unedited prelude and a few other details are problematic for this! And so, I'm revising it, one chapter at a time and I'm currently commissioning a professional artist to draw Cozy and her two friends for a background for this story. I know with a little bit of work and perseverance, I can get this done by the month after next!
Then go check this out. My pic is number seven.
But really, though, I don't have that much MLP merch. Other than Maud, I have a mini blindbox Spike, a Lead Pony pin of the sort worn by the Wonderbolts, the WeLoveFine chibi Luna, and a Discord T-shirt. Oh, and the second Maud.
The Bad News: I got rejected by EQD
The Good News: As far as I can tell, they didn't have anything wrong with the story itself, just with how I was writing. This is the first time EQD hasn't had a problem with content in my stories, so YAY for that. With some grammatical and pacing fixes, hopefully it'll get up to snuff. Also, I didn't get a strike for my first submission.
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.
It's been quite a while since I've done this, but here's hoping! I just submitted The Chance of a Lifetime to EQD for their pre-readers to go over, so I should have word back within a few days as to whether it got in or what I need to work on.
I'm kinda sitting on pins and needles here, so sorry for the late blog post, I just needed to get this out there ASAP. Here's hoping for the best
A lot of you are in my Discord server now and may have seen this already, but since it does relate directly to FIMFic, I wanted to make a physical blog as well.
I've gotten featured on EQD for the first time, which is an unexpected thing. I guess Seth likes them cute pegasisters, too.

094 Celebration: Chestnut Takes EQD!
tl;dr - yes, that happened, and here’s the link to a post on Equestria Daily. Yay!
A now a couple of thoughts in that regard.
Quick update.
You may know I tried to submit Pharynx Goes Monster Hunting to Equestria Daily. Well, after a month or so, as expected, I got a response.
So, I'm bad with release dates. I said Friday but I got through all the revising the Pre-Reader asked me to do last night, so I decided "Screw it, give the people the new thing!" Thus, I have uploaded the new and improved first three chapters of The Chance of a Lifetime for your viewing pleasure!
A quick list of things I changed from the original upload:
So, for those of you who do not browse the first house of pone, yet somehow care about it's goings on, this happened:
That's right, ya boy got another fic on EQD.
But that's not all, because I got an extra surprise:
Haven't been around much, but then, you knew that. Busyness, health issues, and frankly a whole lot of depression. Even ponies weren't interesting me very much anymore. I had a ticket to go to EQLA and a party that same weekend, and I did not go to either.
So, once again, I am bad with date setting. I couldn't wait any longer to finish my new chapter before re-submit, and I decided that it would be better to just show the chapters that the pre-reader has seen before so they could better look for the issues I fixed. I'll keep you updated on how the process goes, but I've got a good feeling about this!
I'm currently working on a fanfic, titled The Story of Lightning Flash, my OC. I seem to have hit a roadblock, however, because I am unable to watch the original Equestria Girls, as the first part is set in EqG. Well fuck. What do I do now? I can't write shit with no knowledge. Anyways, I shall sign off with a quote:
On your journey, you will require Judgement. You may make the wrong choice, but it is what you do with this failure that counts.
