Princess Echo


T

This is a world where everything is seen as just the way it to a few, miserable, sad and bad place to live, where most things in the world are perceived dull, gray, boring and not very much like home to a few of us because of what some or most of the world is like. The reason for this is because of either the people or leaders in the world of what's going all together. Especially for Bronies... In a world like that, you only have friends and that pretty much all you have, or at least that how I see it.

Then there came a time and a golden opportunity when something no one ever expected to happen in million years and only thought to exist in nothing, but pure fantasy and make believe stories became reality and all very true.

> swearing in the presence of the princess

Classy. :ajbemused:

I think your heart is in the right place. There are a few... suggestions I might make though. You need to encapsulate your ideas more. Make each paragraph a different idea, and a new paragraph for every idea, and make sure you think about what that idea is before you write a paragraph. The first paragraph for instance, starts out saying when "I" got into MLP, and then starts saying what a miserable life you have. Then it talked about the things that make your life more bearable. That's three paragraphs right there.

When you say things like "the Deviantart.com website" it gives false importance to the meaning of those words. You need to approach what you're talking about more gently, rather than making absolutely sure that what you're talking about is 100% clear. You have no problems with clarity, but it comes off as rather brutish sometimes. "A funny little website called Deviantart" is a better way to sort of sneak up on the idea rather than pulling out your Canterlot Voice and saying "Behold, The Deviantart.com Website Where You Select The Art Pages And Click On The Favorites"

You spend too much time in introspection here. You're explaining your life, not describing it. Always describe before you explain. "I had never had any long time trips outside of the solitude of my own home for having little interest in the outside world" for instance, you could have described something happening in the outside world, and your reaction to it that lacked interest. You say "once I saw first half of the episode I actually enjoyed it and my interest in the show aroused right after I finished watching the first two episodes," but what you should do is describe yourself watching the first half of the episode, what it was like to sit there, what you said about it, even just to yourself. Tell us what you did rather than only telling us the meaning of what you did.

You have some serious run-on sentences in here, and you repeat yourself a bit too much. Some of the grammar is like you accidentally left part of an old sentence in, when you changed it. "I decided to then see what the show had to personally offer to me then watched the first episode for myself to it for myself for the first time, and once I saw first half of the episode I actually enjoyed it and my interest in the show aroused right after I finished watching the first two episodes of season of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic" for instance. Instead you could have written it "I decided to then see what the show had to personally offer me. I watched the first episode for myself, and I actually enjoyed it after only half of the episode. My interest in the show grew from there, as I sat there watching the first two episodes of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic."

Or, you could have described how you watched it, rather than explaining to us what it meant, without describing it. Like...

As I sat there looking at the forum thread, I murmured to myself, "It can't be that good," and it was all over for me. I microwaved myself some bagel bites while waiting for the first episode to download, then sat there with a nervous flutter in my chest and a sneer of a smile on my face, and watched it. Halfway through, I had to stop, pause the movie and stand up. I walked out on the balcony, looking out at the dingy, rundown neighborhood I lived in. Another dozen noisy cars drove by below me, but all I could see was the colorful little ponies who I actually enjoyed watching. Returning to my chair, I watched them preparing for their sun festival, wondering if maybe there was something to this show. Two episodes later, and my interest had only grown. It was official. I was hooked on My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.

See all the random little details I threw in? Do that, except you can write whatever you want about where you live and what's outside the window, and what you like snacking on while pony ponying. (Keep notes on everything!!) You want to describe what you see in your mind's eye, so that we can see it too. It's more important that you tell us what the experience was like, and not very important at all to tell us that you enjoyed the show. If you describe what happened well enough, you won't need to explain.
