733857 Those are all pretty fair assessments. Honestly, I don't fancy myself a writer of fiction at all. This was that one horror movie I saw when I was way to young, and it scared the hell out of me. It was on TV a few weeks ago and that's what gave me the idea for this story. As far as chapter length is concerned, most of the stories I have read on here and other sites, usually have had chapter lengths of about 1-2,000 words or so. I understand what you mean about pacing, but I felt that if I made these chapters any longer, it would be too drawn out. I also admit, I did want to get the set up out of the way pretty quick. Also, I have a tendency to get bored with long, drawn out descriptive stories, so I guess I'm a little biased as far as that goes. Can this be written better? Absolutely! This was just an idea I felt like trying my hand at, nothing more, nothing less.
Ah. Believe me, I've had that same thing happen to me. I have a sudden burst of inspiration, and I feel the need to get it on paper. And, with a bit of polishing, this could actually become a lot better.
And, for the record, it's probably best to shoot for about 3,000 words per chapter. It probably sounds like a lot, but it's enough words to give the chapters enough meat, but not up to the point where it gets monotonous. Though, I will say that word count doesn't matter anywhere near as much as what's actually in the chapters.
733994 All good points. I'm actually trying to follow the movie as far as the timeline is concerned, so that's affecting my action beats a little bit. If it makes you feel any better, the chapters that are coming are going to be longer in length.
735338 Haha. I was getting to the transformation stuff, but I wanted to do a little bit of set up first. And lets be honest here, its incredibly fun to corrupt these characters. I mean, just look at the image that Krushnazag posted. Its funny because its corrupting! Honestly, The movie was on TV a few weeks ago, and I started thinking about how much Dr. Seth Brundle is like Twilight Sparkle. Then the ideas just kept on coming. I'm working on the next chapter, should be up in a few days. Thanks for the comment though, its appreciated.
Poor Twilight....in my little pony it makes it seem like anybody can make friends with anybody anyone or anything but the sad Reality is you Cant!....and science.... is Nobodies friend

Having never seen the movie, the concept is interesting for me.
Good, good. That's more like it!!
I wonder if Twilight will face the same fate as Jeff.
