I created a group for 8 bit pony related stuff a while back:
https://www.fimfiction.net/group/213619/8-bit-ponies
Images, Apple II games, C64, etc, are all welcome :) BitPonies FTW.
It's full of a bunch of people who snub any writing advice that would actually result in better writing. They show nothing but disrespect for solid advice with clear methods and instead tell people that "you should just feel pacing" and "you'll know how to do it after you write enough and become a better writer the natural way."
There are a lot of half-baked authors who seem to think that "feeling" your way through pacing, structure, and storytelling is the way to go. They are flat out wrong. Practice form and get good at it before you think about breaking form.
Some ponies as Apple II graphics (hires mode)
Thanks to pcx2hgr, dos33-programs, GIMP, LinApple (emulator), Shutter, etc.
Okay, there’s Twilight (classic and alicorn-wings-down), Spike, Apple Jack, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, and Fluttershy as Apple II hires graphics running in an Apple II emulator (LinApple). Here, they are displayed in both color and classic green :)
Please, just learn the difference between "rules of style" and grammar rules.
Stylistic choices are absolutely up to the author (and for the editor to throw a fit about).
There are way too many fake "editors" and "writers" who have no clue which are which....
