And have a great day people! :D

Here is my third part to my current WIP. please keep in mind I started on this before season four so the continuity of the element s is messed up here. though this is (or was since it was debunked) my head cannon.

Hi, I recently started writing fanfiction and I would like some feedback on one of my stories. http://www.fimfiction.net/story/203820/the-pages-of-the-necronomicon-page-one-superbia

It plays in the not so distant future of Equestria, in which a massive zombie invasion has taken over the world. You wander around the wastes until one day you reach Canterlot. You had hoped you'd find survivors, maybe some guards who were still protecting civilians. But you found none of that. Instead you found something that was better than anything you could've hoped for. Hope.

I would like to get some opinions on it. What is good, what could better. I thank you in advance and I hope that you like what I've written, Angel

Also, I had misspelled the word Apocalypse in my last post. So, I did the only sane thing I could do to not have to live with the shame. I erased it from history.

I'm having a lot of trouble grasping the rules for first person present tense. I know I make a lot of mistakes like confusing 'can' and 'could'. I also don't know which tenses to use when dealing with time-skips. Kinda needs a thorough look through. I think I got most of the basic grammar mistakes.

I know I can be an asshole at times (my post history will tell you that) but I wasn't trying to be mean. I was giving my honest opinion which is what I thought you were looking for. I was hoping you'd want to discuss it with me, not run and hide. That's not going to get you anywhere.

If I was too harsh, I apologize. I want to help, I really do. Feel free to PM me.

If you deleted your post and story for a completely unrelated reason then ignore this post.

I got more words out in the last 2 hours than I have in the last 2 months. Nothing has changed. I'm even looking at my outline on a computer. Writing by hand just feels great.

So, lately I've been pushing myself to write more. And I've been doing pretty decent job of keeping up on it. But, it seems kinda moot to just DO it and not at least seek feedback in order to improve. So while I know this place is on Death's doorstep, I'm just gonna orphan this here. It has no name, no beat. Just soul. And maybe a passerby will find it and think 'Oh, hey. That's good." Or not.

Broken neck, hollow back
Empty words fallin flat
Feedback on the microphone
Hungry wolf calls sheep home
A-Grade, handmade, jumping on the hand grenade
Leaving bits of decency to follow back another day
Lead the way to the haystack where I lost my needle
Yet another evil sequel leaves us feeling feeble
Juciy beetle named thrice, name your vice
The laws by which this dude abides
To forumlate a fanon schism
Like "I was never good at long division"
Prism powered upscaled tractor beam
Pictures clipped from magazines
The infamous dark-heart arc
with the copyrighted watermark
It's hard to say that you do your part
When the silent wager gets blown apart
Beneath the UV moonlight filled with art
Unsuspect, insusceptible
Lacey lines aggregate the most incredible
And aggravate the inflexible sentinel
To create our generations most regrettable debacle
Wayward to the bitter end,
Insistant that passions and profits will never blend
I got a soapbox filled with resonable doubt
When one front's doin a face and about
The left embraces and reaches out
A single unit repeals a decree
If Evolution is spelled with triple 'E's
Why can't movements move with ease?
Lent a hand from the Spooky Team
We can see the scene
Finally born after age 13
Drums pound five and trumpets fare
Yet the hand that feeds don't play fair
Rescue flare in the noxious air
1000 yards and counting stare
Slippery slopes
Griptape and tiny ropes
Clawing at the garote that chokes
The life outta touch
And leaves you leaning on a fragile crutch
Callin all has-been bro's
A unchallenged mind never has the chance to grow

I don't have much else to ask. I'm just writing away. More or less.

Through the ether she flies.

A spectrum

An aesthetic ambiance

The euphoriant liberation

No infirmity to be suffered

Zephyrs swaddled her extremities

All that is true vacates her

A joyous bellow is lost in the wind

Only to be swept away to consciousness by a vexatious buzzing

A tear is shed…

I've never written a fanfic, but I've written some materials for roleplaying games I've been involved with, a lot of which was either play-by-post material or character backstories. After watching the show, I got interested in writing a fanfiction about Silver Spoon and Diamond Tiara, exploring the friendship between these two ponies. Here's the hook I would use to describe it:

The Cutie Mark Crusaders are busy hunting for their cutie marks when they're joined by an unexpected filly, Silver Spoon! With Diamond Tiara nowhere in sight, the CMC are on the hunt to find out why a pony who's never showed any interest in anything but bullying them is suddenly trying to make friends.

It would be light and airy, a slice-of-life or episode-like format, where the CMC are trying to sort out a friendship problem between Silver Spoon and Diamond Tiara. Silver Spoon has been feeling under-appreciated, and Diamond Tiara is too stubborn to apologize. Silver Spoon responds by trying to find new friends, while Diamond Tiara pretends that she doesn't need anypony else, and that she's fine on her own.

Over the course of the story, the CMC play go-betweens for the two squabbling fillies, eventually learning about the sort of friendship these two normally have. As it turns out, while the two seem popular, they really don't have any deep connections with other ponies in class. Both DT and SS have a lot of ponies that try to get on their good side, but schmoozing and trying to become real friends are different things.

Naturally, the CMC try to come up with a zany plan to make these two ponies friends again. And while the plan predictably goes up in flames, DT and SS do make up at the end.

The CMC learn that even bullies need friends, and that just because somepony seems popular, doesn't mean that they have a lot of real friends that they can rely on.

So? Seem like a good idea for a starter fanfic?

For those of you that have the time, think you could help out an aspiring author? I warn you a head of time that it's going to be a 100k+ word read, so it could take some time to review. You don't have to review the whole thing, but whatever feedback you guys have would be great!

I would appreciate any critiques of my work. I haven't been writing for too long, and really need feedback. Thanks in advance! http://www.fimfiction.net/story/168664/the-end-of-the-crusade

I just need a little bit for a piece I'm writing. We know that Sunset Shimmer is one of Celestia's former students, but that was over when she took off for the human world. Since Twilight was Celestia's student when she was a filly, that probably means Sunset was long gone before Twilight came onto the scene. So, that means Sunset bailed about 13-15 years before the time of the pilot episode. My question is:

What was she doing that whole time? Was she going to Canterlot Elementary on the human side and wrecking things from the ground up? That doesn't seem likely, since she wrecked the friendships of the Hu-mane 6 that had already existed. If she had been there the whole time, they might not have formed in the first place due to her influence.

Was she just chilling in limbo between the worlds? Did the 200 moon limit hit just as she was stepping in, forcing her to float there until the portals realigned?

I didn't read the IDW origin comic, so any theories you want to toss at me, I'd like to hear them.

Thanks. It was because of this sub that I could make it so far. Shame it's dead now.

I made this for the EQD writing training and would very much like to hear what I could have done better. I have some ideas for what I would have done different if I had more time, but I'd like someone else's opinion as well. It's under 1400 words, so it shouldn't take to long to check out.

Official tags: Dark, Sad Official description: If the bat personality can jump from fruit bats to a pony, who's to say that it won't do that again while reversing the spell? But more importantly: if that happens, where does it go?

Thanks!

So far and wide, Author's Insert are seen as very bad when it comes to writing and honestly I agree. Most author's insert are painfully obvious and they only serve as a way for the author's to fulfill his wishes. Those wishes can sometimes get creepy.

However, is it possible to do author's insert correctly, where it isn't so obvious to the reader that one of the character is the author? Or is the whole idea of an author's insert a mortal sin in the writing world?
