I'll justify an invasion further into the chapter.

Six freaking months, but I'm finally about to finish the first chapter of my Luna Dream Fic. One scene more and it's good to go. Well, and then comes the editing.

I'm really liking how it's shaping up. I'll do my best to try to post it here for feedback sometime tomorrow or Friday at the most.


What about you, guys? Working on anything?

It is I, the great Don Carny. I have written the beginnings of a fine fanfic for you /autism/.

The year is 2016, the place is Orlando; city where dreams come true. In the depths of an inconspicuous office building, two humans explore a hand-drawn virtual world of ponies waiting to meet the human race.
They're not alone inside, as we meet more of the team in the next chapter to come. One of them harbors a dark secret that threatens to rend asunder the boundaries between fantasy and reality itself!

I am working hard and will be releasing a chapter a day for you, big guy! Please tune in!

Oh, this again.

Your previous description sounded like it might possibly be somewhat interesting, but I clicked the link and saw
>10 upvotes
>7 downvotes
which suggests that whatever you've written is barely recognizable as English.

>>26927055
>>26927037

I was trying to sound like Don Carnage, not that you'd know who that is. Yeah I'm not perfect but I'm sure you're no Dickens your self there sweetheart. Yeah. I'm gonna promote my fic seeing as the thread died overnight. I thought this was a place to post fics. Not your personal dick sucking club. Everyone can read it except you two. I don't write gay porn for faggots.

>>26927055
>10 upvotes
>7 downvotes

its actually 11:7 now. either one of us made a mistake, or dude just created an alt account.

this somehow made its way onto my deadfic shelf.

I'm reasonably sure the description is longer than the actual content at this point as well

>>26927085
I downvoted it, but I felt bad and you can't get rid of a downvote, so I upvoted it instead. Not like it will help.

People like you are why no one writes anything. I put a reasonable amount of work in, and when

counts as actual work I think I'm doing reasonable better than average. I'm trying to finish the fucking thing since on vacation. My job and travel schedule is too demanding to write most of the year. You're downvoting my shit without reading. The fuck is wrong with you? Go read some clop if you don't like it, sick horsefucker.

I read the first chapter and it was nowhere near as bad as I was expecting. Not sure how you managed to get 9:5 (which is a pretty awful ratio) even prior to shilling it here. I would normally expect to see it closer to 5:1.

It's way too fucking long and parts are kind of dumb, but I would expect most people to stop after the first paragraph (which is not that bad) and either start reading the story or close the tab.

>>26927215
I'd say they'd either start reading the story or assume it's shit based on the 10k word essay in the description.

>>26927174
You know, if you want to write about humans and also have your dick sucked you should try the AiE general instead.

>>26927193
Is it too long? It was written three years ago and I'm no too attached to it. Is it TL;DR? I'll change it!

>>26927253
Yeah, definitely way too long. Try to give a very brief outline of the general plot idea and make it sound interesting. Nobody is going to bother reading more than a paragraph, and even that is a lot.

>>26927253
Don't get too excited. I do think a 2:1 ratio is unusually low given what I've read of the fic, but I should point out that most people ITT use 10:1 as the cutoff for "might be worth reading". I think even Bleedin has hit 5:1 once or twice.

>>26927264
Damn, I was just trying to get it to stand out a little. I figured no one would bother reading it if the description wasn't fire, you know?

>>26927314
No, I don't know. What are you talking about?

>>26927015
My foobar library has a total duration of just over six days.

>>26927314
If you need to click "read more" to see the entire description, it's too long. Keep it short. "Universal Studios is making blah blah virtual reality pony shit. Visitors can upload their brains/talk to waifus/blah blah blah. They took every precaution/impervious to hackers/restrictions on the AIs, but little did they know that badguys explosions danger oh no." This formula will get you a shit-tier action-movie description but at least it will get people's attention.

Also, you need cover art. 100% mandatory. And it has to be reasonably good cover art too.

Fimfiction has a system to atribute the cover's source.

Don't you think this is way too exagerrated?

Also, even the first dialogue is misplaced, along with the needlessly long paragraph not even telling me anything I'd want to know. About the same for most of the first chapter, even more with it being extremely short to introduce us to such an ambitious project and world.

LAN, MMORPG, CRT, those mean nothing to me, and I'm not spending any time googling their meaning, as it's not my job. Overall, again, the first chapter is dry, undescriptive, extremely fast-paced and boring.

Can I snag some recommendations for decent recent Gilda and Griffon fics, or at least some where they are prominent characters? It's been a few years since I've checked fimfiction but from memory, I've already read:

Heart of Gold, Feathers of Steel, Summer Days, Evening Flames
Blunder and Lightning
Junior Speedsters Forever
Putting the Harm in Harmony
Helping the Dweeb
Mothers
Foreigner
Flying the Coop

And probably others that I can't remember. I'm not too picky; I'll take any length, crossovers or genre but I prefer no humans and not too far over the edge.

>>26929867
Ah, it's a sequel. Would I have to read The Dusk Guard: Rise first or can it stand on it's own?

>>26929882
The Dusk Guard is about an elite team of the Royal Guard, neither Celestia's or Luna's, that could be described as "The Elements of Military".
It also is pretty good, but griffon lore isn't even mentioned. BtB introduces a team that's a non evil opposite of the D.G..
Apparently the writer plans to write half the books focusing in a team and half in the others, but he's only written two so far.

>>26929932
Aaaaah Yes. You'll miss some puns and the MC's motivation won't be quite as clear, but it is readable on its own.
That said, D.G.:Rise is breddy good.

This is more of a request in finding a specific story.

A couple of weeks ago, an Anon posted a link to a Fimfiction story about Twilight and her friends getting abducted and placed in a lab. The story followed each of them waking up, either alone or with one of their friends nearby.

The events included body-modifications and mutations as well as drug-induced orgies. And futafication too.

Anyone have a link to that?

Hi, guys! What's going on?

Technical question: Is there another way to show a character is starting to cry while speaking other than writing stuttering dialogue with a lot of pauses?

>>26933954

>>26925209
>he was like three
It would place him in the 8-12 range. Twilight was a kid (8-12) when she hatched him. And she's seen as being in her early twenties in the show (20-24).

If you age up Spike, you have to age up Twilight and the M6, as there's no way she could be 22 and him be 18--that would require her getting her cutie mark at age 4, which seems really farfetched.

Canon's not firm on ages so you can do your own thing, but readers are going to be left scratching their heads over why Spike's suddenly an adult despite it taking place shortly after/during S6. It reads like a big inconsistency.

>>26926756
Is the intro paragraph there just for context, or is it in the story? Because it's drowning in exposition.

>humans
Why? What do they bring to the table other than standard sci-fi weapons and questions about why, if there's a rebellion, they don't just launch an orbital bombardment to quickly stop it? If the plot's a basic "ponies rebelling against an evil overloard," why not use something relating to the show? Like NMM/Chrysalis/Sombra winning? Then you can worldbuild an AU setting.

>>26926946
>virtual reality MLP

This sounds really familiar...

Spendread the first chapter. Didn't see any major issues. First couple paragraphs seem a little long. It's not really my thing, though, so I'm gonna have to opt out.

I'd suggest getting a good cover image that conveys what the story's about. Resist the temptation to just use Universal Studio's logo.

Look at how young Twilight is when she's hatching him. I doubt she's supposed to be 12, or 10 for that matter. If Celestia's school is the first school she's enrolled in, it would make sense to place her somewhere around 6.

Again, we're talking about a group of fillies who can design dresses on their own, perform a sonic rainboom, go to Manehatten alone and understand vast amounts of magic literature. 6 is definitely not the right age. I'd put her at minimum 8.

You know, without realizing I made Starlight into something of a self-empowered, self-inverted Chuchundra.
If she had it her way, she'd die irrelevant, never having touched the center of a room. She'd have a long, tranquil life without any risks.
But she can't, and that's because she won't let herself. Instead of giving to the shyness and the dread she feels at the very idea of rejection and failure, she harnesses a kind of nervous energy out of those same emotions, a sort of running motion-- a fall that somehow manages to stay at the same distance from the floor and turn horizontal. Her willpower, charisma, all the power she's ever held ultimately comes from this vicious cycle.
Her fears come from various sources: fear of turning into a Sunburst herself, abandoning her friends if she became too big, and fear of being abandoned by new Sunbursts if she became too small. No small quota, now, of becoming too irrelevant to make up for her mistakes. A dread of becoming too big and repeating her mistakes. Her awkwardness could be said to be an adaptation period, as she has yet to find how to turn paralyzing guilt into motion.
Thoughts on this?

In this moment, I feel nothing but appreciation for you, Anon.

I've tried my hand at a couple of Twinkie fics (though I'm embarrassed to say they're nothing but cheap sadfics)

I think my favourites have to be the one darf wrote, and a superb romance story whose author sadly died before posting the seventh chapter.

I read it at a low point of my life, and I guess it just hit the right notes for me.

I am well aware of it's overtly blunt way of presenting the themes, but at the time it left an impact on me. That's probably part of the reason I haven't read it since. I want to keep the memory I have of it. I know it sounds dumb.

Bernhard's Door (dream condition)

The professors responsible for analysis of the collected data believe that everyone has, at some poiont, experienced Bernhard's Door.
32% of subjects interviewed (sample size 1,300) reported experiencing (one or more) dreams during the previous five years where the door was present. 16% recalled the door from childhood dream(s) occurring at least 10 years prior to the interview. An additional 19% were able to recall the dream only when placed under hypnosis.

67% of interviewees have experienced the phenomena.

Would you read a fic with this theme?

>>26941111
Ah, dang it, I only pasted half of it.
Well, the gist is that there's a particular dream shared by hundreds of people where they come to face a door that leads to a room where they find a certain object from their childhood. Shortly after, the object comes to life and becomes violent.

The approach I thought of was that some ponies accross Equestria start having the same dream, and Luna realises it's some sort of ancient creature from before her banishment, and trying to take it down on her own.

>>26941128
I like most of Daft Punk pre-Random Access Memories. Does that still count as bad?

>>26941056
>>26941168
Fuck yes.

>>26941056
>Would you read a fic with this theme?
Yeah that sounds relevant to my--

>>26941168
>Shortly after, the object comes to life and becomes violent.
--never mind.


But seriously, that first post sounded pretty great. I would totally read a sort of horror story about Luna investigating this shared dream where absolutely nothing bad or scary happens, the only oddity is that literally everyone has had this same dream once in their life. Then of course she encounters all kinds of weird shit - the professor has no memory of the project, the grad student has been driven insane by nightmares, the journal where it was published was burned down a year later along with all of their archives (and the arsonist swears up and down he was in bed asleep at the time of the fire)... Basically just weirdness on top of weirdness until finally near the end it becomes undeniable that there's some unknown entity controlling the entire thing.

>>26941365
Yeah, I was planning to leave the extraneous details out and focus on the shared dreams, eerie atmosphere and the entity behind it.

>>26941390
>focus on the shared dreams, eerie atmosphere and the entity behind it
10/10 would read

Though IMO it would be better to stick with the "eerie atmosphere" part and not get into the entity until the end. Basically spend as long as possible leaving the reader with the lingering doubt that maybe it really is all a big coincidence.

>>26941415
>it would be better to stick with the "eerie atmosphere" part and not get into the entity until the end.
I think so too.

It's funny, I already had a similar idea in mind, (pic related) but that one was relatively larger in scope, while this one seems as if it could run its course with a long one-shot or a story with two or three chapters.

Ok, it's decided. I'll write the story about Luna and shared dreams first as a trial run, and then tackle the bigger monster.

>>26941056
I so rarely remember my dreams that I don't really feel a lot of attachment to the topic.
But it sounds like an interesting premise.

>>26941168
>tfw you know where that picture is from

>>26941390
>>26941508
Fuuuuck I want this to be a finished fic already.
just ditch the shared dreams fic and do this one

>>26941571
I have a very, very rough draft of how the fic would play out, as well as some of the circular logic Twilight would make.

I still feel I should make the trial run with Luna's shared dream fic first, just to make sure the latter one won't suck.

But rest assured, I do plan on finishing both this year.

Three, if you count >>26939738

>>26941718

They'd be as long as they need to be.
Which, judging by my reflexive narrative style, would still mean tens of thousands of words.

While the Shared Dream fic is probably not going to be longer than 10k words. Twilight's FrightfullyForgetful Follies would be in the 25~30k word range. I wouldn't want it to be needlessly long.

>>26941760
>Which, judging by my reflexive narrative style, would still mean tens of thousands of words.
GOOD-O!

For NH, does using the map's database as a short introduction to new characters sound too lazy?

>>26941986
If you use it a few times to introduce some OC's and show the capabilities of the map, then it could work just fine.

If, on the other hand, you're going to spend a lot of time presenting a tirade of characters like in a shitty 80's action movie, then you should go to the corner and think of what you've done.

As someone who has an only slightly better up/down ratio on a fic I've been working on for a long time, and finding it impossible to get off the ground as a result, I can sympathize with the guy. Sure, he has issues with purple prose (that, paradoxically, isn't very descriptive), run-on sentences off the wazoo, and frankly sub-par sentence fluency, but I've seen better ratios on fics that I could barely even read due to their sheer mechanical ineptitude.

Does comedic, but explicit, description of genitalia count as "Sex" for the tags? Or only explicit?

Before anyone gives me shit for the PoV: I am experimenting with 1st/2nd/3rd PoVs out of boredom.
But more to the point, I am really dubious about this particular case. It's a robot trying to get the D and be cutely sexy, and no actual sex happens.

I'm trying to confuse the reader into thinking a narrator talking in italics is actually one of the main characters and not an omniscient map thingy. Since both narrate in first-person, would switching between omniscient 3rd-person with map comments for flashback chapters and first-person from OC's perspective work?

Shared Dream Luna Horror story here.

I made a rough draft of the outline today:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1u3vdQjg5fHFEA--IdZHJsRvolkj-pi_nAAvV2YKLv-k/edit?usp=sharing

That's more or less how I envision the story would go. I've yet to decide how to group these events, whether I would write it in a single long-shot, or split it into a couple of chapters.

Still, I wanted to get this done now, because I really, really, really need to update another fic, but as soon as that is out of the way, I'll start writing this story. (And continue writing the other Luna Dream Fic, of course.)

>very nervous posting anything I make if I do not like it myself
The way I look at it is if the cringy 14 year olds can write and post their 80,000 word self insert grimdark story with a 1:10 like/dislike then I can post my story.

Just do it. The worst we can say is it's shit, and you already think that anyway, so why's it a big deal?

>>26948741
Gonna need more info. Tags. Some unique keywords. How old it might be. That sort of stuff.

>>26949436
>explicit, description
If it's explicit, it's going to need the Mature Sex tags.

>>26950932
The tags are based on the level of detail descirbed, not the actual act. If you spend four paragraphs describing a penis entering a vagina--even if the context is a scene about a sex ed class--it's going to need the tags.

If you're in doubt, PM a mod with the scene to see.

>>26953046
If you use 3rd person and 1st person for the different narrations, it might give away that there's two narrators

Asylum was last updated a year ago. Are you waiting for it to finish so you can see what ending is used, like I am?

>>26954753
Is that how it's supposed to end? Cause that seems like a big anticlimax. Nothing's resolved and it feels like one of those really annoying "reader decides what happens" endings.

asking for opinion on greens in what is essentially the longest running anti-green thread was probably not the wisest thing to do. but thats ok because we expect greentext 'writers' to be a little special.

now go scamper off and plan your little thread and let the adults get back to doing not much of anything

Seems okay for a one-shot or so. There are a couple bullets where I wasn't sure what the point was, so they can maybe be cut. Stuff like:

>Luna talks about paperwork and the night's routing with her aide and she mentions an odd dream she has had.
We already know she had an odd dream, what's new here?

>Luna recreates the dream and tries to gather more information about it, but she’s unable to perfectly replicate it.
What's she trying to accomplish with this? And why doesn't it work?

>Luna talks with the folklorist again.
About what?

>Luna goes back to the library, but reads about Nightmare Moon this time.
Why? Is the idea that NMM is somehow causing this?

Also, did you drop the research paper angle? I liked how it shows that the weird dream is something that's been happening to everybody for a long time but nobody really paid attention. Makes it seem like a bigger deal.

>>26956010
Wait, is that shit still going on?
Holy fuck.

>New episode
>"Rock pouches"
This could actually do for interesting discussion. If they are sold, it'd mean that rock pets have at least some popularity. Maybe earth ponies can somehow "Hear" rocks, only the feel is so slow that only the most patient of them can even notice.

>>26959085
Earth ponies are literally dirt ponies.

I like it.

So what did you think of the episode?
>rock pets are apparently common >>26959085
>Police exists >>26959149
>Maud can skate >>26959576
>Maud has a "Maud sense"

>>26952617
This one seemed pretty good, though I wasn't exactly reading it for the plot. It's fairly light on the actual clop. though I did appreciate the numerous scenes of drunk/horny robo-Celestia squirming, moaning, leaving wet spots on the pillow, that sort of thing

>>26959611
>Police exists

muh Harmony

In all seriousness, their uniform seems to differ from the supposed time frame, since Equestria apparently has 1900-ish tech (not including magic) but post-40s police uniforms.

>>26955178
>Is that how it's supposed to end?
Yeah, my bad. Luna is actually meant to defeat the entity, but throught the story she fears what influence it may have over her. The last thing she wants is another possible Nightmare Moon scenario. The last point is meant to be a post-battle reassurance that there is nothing to be worried about.

>>26956574
>We already know she had an odd dream, what's new here?
The writing wasn't clear. Her aide is the one that mentions having an odd dream.

>What's she trying to accomplish with this?
When she had the dream, she was caught in the feeling of dread and fear that permeated the dream. She hopes that analysing it again in a more objective way will shed some light on what was really happening.

>And why doesn't it work?
Because she's unable to recreate the same atmosphere, that feeling of eerieness, and without it the dream isn't the same.

>Luna talks with the folklorist again.
Before, she talked about dream theory and the similarities of the dreams, trying to find an answer. Now that she knows there's an evil influence at play, she wants to learn more about it.

(cont'd)

>>26956574

>Why? Is the idea that NMM is somehow causing this?
Luna is afraid of the possible parallels between her own downfall and what this entity may accomplish if it gets ahold of more ponies. When she talked with Celestia about it earlier, and found out that she had kept it mostly a secret, Luna decides that she can't take that luxury, and seeing how the history books remember Nightmare Moon, she convinces herself that she must take affirmative action and get rid of the cause of the dreams, which is why she says goodby to Celestia while she's asleep, she doesn't know if she'll make it or not.

>Also, did you drop the research paper angle?
My original plan was to have both Luna and an OC researcher as the main protagonists of the story, Luna would take the arcane route, using rituals and reading ancient books, while the researcher would try to take a more scientific path.

In the end, I realised the fic would have to focus more on Luna since she's the one with the insecurities about how should she deal with the creature, and eventually fight it in Tartarus. I didn't see where else could I take the OC's arc, so I ended up swapping that for the folklorist to complement Luna's side of the story.

This is still a very rough first draft, though, nothing is set in stone, I'll see if I can find a way to reincorporate that into the story.

----

Ok, lesson learned. Don't write at 1 am, it'll only end in tears. I'll rewrite the outline to make these points clearer.

Please, the staff as a whole doesn't give a fuck about worldbuilding any more. There's maybe one writer left who even tries (I forget who's still on for S6 and who left). So of course these new guys are not going to bother at all.

I do tech support at my day job.

There are one HELL of a lot more businesses out there still on XP than are using 8, 8.1, and 10 combined. 90% of our customers use 7, 6% use XP, 4% is everything else combined, including Vista.

What is a good fic for a newbie like myself?

Quick question, how do you guys form your story outlines?

>>26965803
I think about the story I want to write and tried to think of all the major events that have to happen from beggining to end.

After that I flesh out every point, group them into chapters, and start writing.

>>26965881
So you pinpoint the major events only? And just freely write whats in between?

>>26965915
you can make it

>>26965901
depends on how thorough you are. some folks will only outline major plot points/story arcs, while others may outline major plot points, the b storys plot points, progression, timeskips, filler, etc.

the more detailed you make the outline (and stick to it), the less likely you are to drift off course. you can remain consistent and avoid devolving your idea into an incoherent mess

>>26959085
What I want to know--besides why Rarity didn't make a fucking pouch for Pinkie--is how someone can close their store in one of the most expensive cities for months to go on a vacation. That reeks of "murdered store owner in the stock room."

>>26959611
7/10. I thought it'd be shit with all those writers, but it turned out to be some nice SoL.

>Police exists
That's been canon since S1. Remember Sheriff Silverstar?

>>26965803
I let the overall plot stew in my head for a while, then when I write it out, I usually base it off of chapters. Like what's going to happen in each chapter, along with the chapter titles.

>>26965901
For me, there'll usually be one or two "big scenes" in a chapter. Connect the dots gets played to tie it all together with in-between scenes that are thought up when writing.

huh weird. we went from page 9 to page 8 and now page 1

So question for the thread on how you might approach this. Staying anon to avoid drama.

I wrote a fetish story, it did moderately well. 5,300 views. In it, it used a magic device to do a thing in a very specific way.

Meanwhile, other author has a fic about the same fetish. Hadn't updated in a while. When my story posted, it hadn't been updated in six months.

I stop paying attention for a few months. Come back yesterday to FiMFic to check shit out and oh look, other person's story updated. Go to check it out.

Story resumed by copying, to the exact letter, even to the point of using slightly modified descriptions, the exact device used in my story. They came off of hiatus literally just to rip off my story, and people in the comments praised them for how cool of an idea it was.

I'm kind of miffed, but at the same time I don't want to start drama. What would you do?

>>26969663
>copying, to the exact letter
if its a full on copypasta then call them out on their shit.

or hit up a mod and hope theyre feeling helpful.

>>26969688

Well, that was a misnomer. I exaggerated slightly. It's not EXACT plagiarism. They did make slight changes, but in general it works and the effect is identical, and the descriptions used are slightly padded versions. Adding a few words here and there.

>>26969704
thats a big difference. is it copypasta with some shit added, or is it completely rewritten and only sharing a nearly identical macguffin?

>>26969731

Agreed, it is. It's a completely identical macguffin which was described the same, just with ADDED words to "pad" the description. It works the same, does the exact same thing, hits the same plot points, and the story was, for all intents and purposes, on hiatus until my story was posted, they read it (I assume), then copied it.

I mean, realistically, I'm much too big of a pussy to actually call anyone out on it. I just was wondering what other people's thoughts on this kind of thing were. Is it scummy to borrow ideas so closely, or am I being an asshole?

>>26969748
unless this is some folding device I have no idea what the fics in question are. Though i know there are fairly few original ideas floating around in fanfiction. and its not terribly uncommon for one persons 'super clever' idea to accidentally be remarkably similar to several other peoples ideas by pure coincidence.
But if you can screencap a selection from your fic, and set it next to a screencap of the other fic and its plainly obvious that shit has been copied and slightly embellished, then take it to a mod. explain the situation show your proof and let them handle it.

plagiarism is one of the few things they do tend to take quick and decisive action on.
