So I just had a family gathering with everyone of my mom's side of the family (due to divorce) to celebrate a birthday, and they all now know that I watch My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. The events leading to that reveal I won't go into. And while they are (thankfully) unaware of the term "brony" and everything related to it (i.e. anti-brony, clop, etc.), I was still mocked and ridiculed for it for three fucking hours. And while I tried to explain why, nobody cared to listen. The only

First thing's first. My Twidash fic is going to be rewritten. I don't know when, but knowing me, I'm probably going to do it little by little. I am quite unsatisfied with the story and, in light of certain constructive criticism, I want to improve it. So here's my question:

I'm not quite sure how the story update system works so what should I do, take down all the chapters, then republish them once they pass the rewriting stage, or simply rewrite them?

Let me know in the comments.

Title says it all. I have hit a proverbial wall in my fic. I know the big events and what I want to happen, but I'm having trouble with the minor details.

So, in an effort to distract my writer's block so I can stab it in the back repeatedly, I want to try something new for myself. In my English class, we are currently reading the epic, 'Beowulf.' I wanted to try something like that.

Where did the 'estimated words read' count go?!

Okay, so my editor is going to college now, and will have little to no time for my story. I do not resent this at all. This site is purely for hobby writing (at least in my case) so I'm not mad that my editor is off to college. It is a big step in life, and really, real life is more important than this. Or almost as important, depending on who you are.

But I digress.

So today was my birthday. Meh. Nothing special, just a nice quiet dinner with my family. What I loved the most was the cards. Here's what my dad said.

Dear Bryan,

It's great to see you growing up! I look forward to all the things we will do together this year. I'm very proud of you and I love you very very very much.

Love, Dad

And here's what my mom said.

Dearest Bryan,

Very Happy Birthday!! 17

Oh man. Where to begin?

The Dark Knight Rises was awesome. I loved practically every second of it. Pretty much my only complaint was Bane's voice sometimes being incomprehensible.

Soundtrack? Amazing. I love Hans Zimmer. I'm going to get my hands on some piano sheet music of his work.

So another author on this site read my story and told me it was the best Twidash ship fic he'd ever read. My response to that was:

I'd like to apologize to everyone tracking my story for taking so long. I really have no excuses other than being such a lazy bastard stuck in the summer vacation mentality. No school equals no work to me. Along with that, I have marching season coming up, so even when I get back into the work mentality, band practice will still take up a lot of my writing time.

But enough about that, time for the actual status update.

This morning, I woke up to something incredible. I was in Equestria, and I was flying through the air with Rainbow Dash herself. It felt so real; the wind in my face, wings straining, heart racing. All of a sudden, she stops and turns to me and gives me a strange look. She asked me, "What are you doing up here without wings?" I look back and see that, yes, I have no wings. I fall to my death and I wake up to my mom shaking me and telling me to wake up.
