So, after a manly argument about whether chairs are people, I decided to save a transcript of said argument. While saving it to google docs, I found a fanfic that I wrote a while ago, when I just got into ponies. So, while I don't plan to submit it to the fanfic section of the site (I'm not writer, after all), I might as well post it here, see what feedback I get. Here it is, don't mind the bad titling skills I have: https://docs.google.com/document/d/...C96GxgtXhV_U0c/edit?authkey=CICnmeAK&hl=en_US
Um, wow. Very grim - but in a good way. Excellent view into the mind of a madpony! And I thought you said you weren't a writer! Tsk!
I don't consider myself a writer, and I did this on a bet I think. But if it turned out well, then good for me =/
A very interesting read, I congratulate you. A typo in the first paragraph sent the grammar section of my OCD into overdrive, but that's hardly an issue. Very different stuff, I wouldn't mind reading something else from you.
I will read this it looks interesting, but I have to go to work in 30 minutes so it will be my morning reading material. I like the dairy style. I want to write one of my own but i'm finding it difficult coming up with a plot and all that jazz.
Inspiration? Well, Someone wanted me to do a medic x pony crossover in honor of meed the medic. Then it ended up completely different. As for writing something else... That could be a problem since I have no idea what to write.
Let me clarify how I define a writer. If you can put together some sentences in a fashion that makes sense, sounds good, and has some enjoyment value (even if just for yourself), you're a writer. If people like it, and ask for more, you're a good writer. If you get paid, you're an author. If you get paid millions of dollars, you're Stephen King.
Heh, heh. You don't think they would like being in a rank named after another author? Eh, if I made "mere" $34 million a year, you could call me a Stephanie Meyer's class writer. In other words, I don't mean that Stephen King is the highest paid author (James Patterson was in 2009-10, latest data), but that's simply what I call that level of writer. Rowling, Daniel Steel, Ken Follet - I call them collectively Stephen King class writers, because they make so much money off their writing. So no offense meant to Rowling, Myers, or Pratchett.
