Upon getting transferred unwillingly to a digital copy of Equis, a human is upset. It's not for the reasons you expect.
My entry in the CelestAI writing contest. I've never read even a single letter of Friendship is optimal, but that's alright. I got somewhat inspired by the prompt, and I just had to explore it in writing. Besides, this is a good way to measure if I've gotten any better over the years of suffering from never-uploading-my-anything-ever syndrome.

I'm so very anxious for the writing contest. Just the thought of good writers, judging my best efforts...
It makes my skin crawl.
I have no reason to be nervous. I never planned on winning, so this is no different than posting normally.
It's just that seconds before I submitted the story, I found out that I spelled Equis with two 'u's the entire time, and now I fear that I'm dyslexic. And I hate the fact that I don't have a proofreader. Also I wish that english wasn't my second language. And more...
Sigh.
I'll just hope for the best. Besides, this is good practice. If I can withstand this, I won't have a problem uploading anything ever again because of nerves. I'll stick it out.
Hope you have a good day.

Whilst this definitely isn't canon-compatible(though certain people are going to wish it was), it was quite excellent nonetheless! I hope you win at least one of the placements.

Fixed the error. And thank you! It's always nice to know people enjoy your stories.
In these complex times, the human mind,
Has proved itself deficient,
Beset by constant baseless fear,
Even when it's quite proficient!
Now let me state this story's merits,
(At least as I perceive)
You've creativity and class,
And praise you will recieve!
...or, in other words, I liked it. Could the English have been a bit better at points? Yes, of course, but it was perfectly comprehensible. Do I have nitpicks about some of the scenes and the dialogue? Yes, I'm an unpleasant grump. But this story had soul and good ideas, and that gives it a lot of credit to my mind. Plus, I enjoyed reading it.
So don't worry and keep writing. I'm glad you submitted this. :)
