NOTE:
This is a secondary account of Di-o-S. I have not been able to login due to password issues (I forgot). I have attempted a password reset, but no email is reaching my email address. Correction, I have lost access to the email address made for the account. So, until I remember the password I'm just stuck with this account for now. Until I regain access to my main account I will be using this secondary account I made and haven't used since 2015. As this is a secondary account and not my main I will abide by FiMFiction's rules on such accounts (Such as no voting on stories and comments, no following, etc.).


Myself

[She/her]
Anyway, with that out of the way: Hi! :twilightsmile: I've been on the site, and by extension the fandom, for awhile now. I used to post stories on my old account, but after hitting a roadblock I stopped. Now I'm back to writing, and you can expect a story or two appearing here soon.

Fair warning I spend quite a bit a time in the editing process so it takes me time to complete a story. I also try to only post completed stories since I've been burned by incomplete stories too many times myself. :pinkiesmile:

Writing Process

Speaking of stories, you can see the progress for any story(ies) not posted yet below in the "Current Projects in the Works" section! Progress goes like this for me for those who are interested:
1. Idea drafting: Exploration of the idea, and first outline. Initial character concepts and motivations happen here.
2. First draft: First written full draft of the story. Just following the outline here, not too rigorous in catching errors. Rough and unpolished versions of the characters.
3. First stage of Editing and Revision: Combing through the story for mistakes, inconsistencies, and errors. Major additions and deletions also occur here. Longest stage of the process, the groundwork for the story is set here.
4. Second stage of Editing and Revision: Slimier to stage one. Refining the story's rough edges. There may be some additions added here like new chapters, revised descriptions, etc, but overall focus is on refining any rough aspects.
5. Final stage of editing: All chapters have been written and looked over twice. This stage is all about polish, and fixing any overlooked mistakes from the previous two stages.

Obviously, different stories call for a different process, but this is overall how I write my stories.

As for reading stories: I can enjoy any type of story, although I prefer adventure, sci-fi, horror, and slice of life.
