post qt moon pone
Let’s get hypothetical.
You’re a writer who’s been going at it for a bit now. You really enjoy what you do and put your blood, sweat, and tears into each story. One day, you decide to post it in a random thread to get some feedback.
Just one problem: no takers.
You wonder if you should even bother writing; you decide to quit and move on to something else.
If that story applies to you, then hold your horses. If all you wanted was feedback, to improve your writing skills a bit, or maybe just see how others do it, then you’ve come to the right place. There are a few rules, however:
>Posting the story directly in the thread is preferred over a link to Pastebin, FiMFiction, etc.
>One story at a time.
>Don’t be a dick or asshole when reading or critiquing.
>All stories posted within the thread must be pre-written.
This thread’s purpose is to encourage writefags all over /mlp/ to write. We’re laid back here. Post what you want as long as it’s pone related. We’re not all “STOREEEYS ONLY!” We discuss topics such as writing techniques, interesting tropes, and bring forth story ideas. Let’s have fun.

>“How do I cure my writer’s block?”
Magic.
>“FUCK YOU ANSWER THE QUESTION!”
There’s no one way to cure it, but, if you can’t write, you may as well read stories. There’s more to writing than writing; there’s reading too, and that helps. Check some of the links above.
Try the following (keep in mind this won’t work for everyone):
-Figure out when it’s the best time for you to write.
-Fap then write*.
-Write anyway, and allow yourself to write shitty stories. More often than not, the block is the fear of it being bad. That’s what editing is for.
-Seriously, drink coffee. It’s a writer’s best friend.
-Listen to music while writing.
*Unless you’re writing clop, then listen to your boner.

Here’s some new stuff that didn’t fit in the second post.
A couple writing podcasts:

An archive of how to write pretty much anything:
https://curiosityquills.com/limyaael/
An idea generator:
http://writers-den.pantomimepony.co.uk/writers-first-lines.php
A worldbuilding forum:
http://worldbuilding.stackexchange.com/
It's about fucking time. I've had a question for a while. Is it possible to make a suicide feel "appropriate" in a story? As in that it doesn't feel edgy, or come across as a cheap way to raise the stakes or grab at the reader's heart? I've had an idea for a character piece (I don't know what you'd call it), and as I let the characters play out their roles in my head, one of them ends up committing suicide.

>What is this thread about?
Half human and half pony/other Equestrian species offspring.
>What are the rules?
There are no thread specific rules, do what you want. But it wont always be met positively.
>What is the continuity (world/characters/attributes)?
Whatever you want it to be. Sometimes Everything is a variable, there are no absolutes. Sometimes. Characters, names, genders, personalities, relationships, backgrounds, writing style, genre. If you want to know the common headcanons of certain characters, read some stories or ask the thread.

>Ponyville seems to be a hotbed of excitement these days. Between the dragons roosting in the mountains, horrid monsters wandering out from the Everfree Forest, ancient ruins discovered deep in the earth, and the ever-presenting of all-out war between the Equestrians and the Gryphons, it seems like everypony looking for fame or fortune is flocking to this town.

>You stand before the Princess alongside your friends and your precious little Wispy.
>Though you have an opportunity to ask for your heart's desire from the Princess, you find yourself unwilling to ask for more, not when your friends gave so much to get you this far.
"Honestly, Princess, I have everything I need right here," you explain as you glance to the filly still resting upon your back. "My friends, though, they all put their lives at risk to come help save my Wispy. It's only fair that their efforts be rewarded."
>"Just ask for money Pot!" Rough Diamond shouts, spurring a chuckle from everyone else.
>You trot up to the Princess and whisper your suggestions to her. You hope that you're not asking too much of her, but as you finish and her response to smile and nod, you feel a bit of relief.
>"Your friends are fortunate to have you," she remarks.
>The Princess looks to your friends.
>"Each of you have demonstrated a selfless devotion not only to your friends but to all of Equestria. The harmony between you all is an inspiration to us all, and it is my honour to be able to give you a token of thanks on behalf of a grateful kingdom."

>>27675931
>She first gestures for Azura to step forward.
>"Azura Ice, I see great potential in you for the arcane arts. You need only to stop looking to yourself so much and instead look to your friends. However, I do believe one of Starswirl's old arcane tomes would help you along in your studies."
>Azura's eyes brighten at the mentioning of a tome, and it takes her considerable willpower to keep from squealing in delight. Celestia gestures for the next to step forward, Longshot.
>"Mr. Longshot, I shouldn't be surprised to see you tangled in all this. I know what you'd really ask for, but you know that it is not in my power to give. All I can offer is access to the Royal Armory and its engineers. I imagine you'll find some... useful additions to your crossbow in there."
>Longshot gives a quick nod and steps back, making way for August to step up.
>"August Longhorn, you stand as testament that all citizens, even those of humble roots, can find their own greatness. I will admit I do not know much about the dairy business or what I could offer but if you have a suggestion--"
>"I'll take an Minotaur Enterprise XJ-515A All-Purpose Dairy Pumping-Processing Unit!" August blurts out. She promptly flusters a bright red.
>Celestia just laughs. "I'll have one of my agents see about securing one of... whatever that is."
>August meekly steps back, prompting Rough Diamond to step forwad next.
>"Rough Diamond, your hard work and dedication to friends and family is an inspiration. I'm told the mines you toil in are in dire need for new equipment and proper security. I'll see to it that the mines are brought up to the cutting edge and that you'll be well-protected from any intrusions by any diamond dogs."
>"Aw shucks, I would've just been happy with a kiss but I'll take that," Diamond replies.
(cont.)
>>27675945
>Next up was Sweet Heart.
>"Private Heart, I know as a Royal Guard you acted out your sense of duty and loyalty to the crown, and that you would never ask for a reward for doing your sworn duties. Nonetheless, you shall be put forth for a commendation and promotion in recognition for your valour and initiative."
>"Thank you, Your Majesty," Sweet Heart replies with a long bow.
>Next up is Spectral Prism, who looks a bit nervous.
>"My dear friend, Prism," Celestia begins with a non-threatening smile. "I suppose it would be too much to ask for you to return to the castle?"
>"I... I think I can do more good for Equestria in Ponyville, Your Highness," Prism replies.
>"Then I'll ensure that your work is properly funded from here on out. Far be it for me to deprive Equestria from your genius. Just try not to make too big of a mess."
>"Thank you Princess," Prism says with a bow.
>Next is Berry, who didn't realize he was getting a reward too until Prism shoves him forward.
>"This really isn't necessary, Princess. Freedom for my people is all the reward I need," he insists.
>"True, but freedom isn't a reward - it's a responsibility. It is a garden that must be cared for, lest it wither away. As such, you will be officially appointed as the Liaison for all Equestrian-Changeling affairs. Your people will need you in the times ahead, and I have every faith in your dedication and commitment."
>"I guess that makes me sort of like a Hive King, huh?" Berry chuckles. "Just so long as I'm not stuck in meetings and stuff all the time."
(cont.)
>>27675957
>Stepping forward next is White Wine, who seems to be the most at ease in such a formal setting.
>"Ms. Wine, I know you'd want me to do something about your father, but I can't solve all your family problems for you," Celestia states, "but what I can do is expand our pre-existing contracts with your winery. Having your product served at future galas and public events will do wonders for your business... and I'm sure you'll enjoy rubbing the new success in your family's face, even if I do disapprove of such behavior."
>"I'll try not to enjoy it too much, your Highness," Wine replies with a stiffled giggle.
>As Julia can't technically step anywhere, you take her out of the saddlebag and hold her out before the Princess.
>"Julia, I could shower the riches of the kingdom upon you and still feel like I have not done enough to make up for failing you in your past life," Celestia begins.
>"Money isn't really a high priority for me," Julia replies. "A set of legs would do me wonders, though."
>"A body is not exactly within my ability to give," Celestia explains before glancing over to Prism. "But I do know somepony who would have the expertise to accomplish such a task. We do not have any intact remains of Crystal Empire golems, but I see to it that the remains of what we do possess shall be sent to Prism's workshop. If anyone can re-create their technology, it is him."
>"I look forward to when I can properly bow to give my thanks," Julia thanks the Princess.

>The year is 2552
>Humanity is at war with an alien alliance known as "The Covenant"
>We are losing
>The Covenant have burned our worlds, killing billions in their genocidal campaign
>Now they have breached the inner colonies, their leaders hunting for our homeworld with their own fleets
>One such group has found the rich inner world of Ballast
>The small fleet's largest Covenant ship, a 5km-long Assault Carrier, has breached the world's defenses and attacked the mega-city, "New Madang"
>Initial reports confirm major damage and heavy civilian casualties
>Now, Military Leaders of the "United Nations Space Command" have prepared their response
>Teams of highly-trained "Orbital Drop Shock Troopers" are ready to assault the carrier from navy ships in low orbit
>This is a near-suicidal mission, but these troopers are the best of the best
>And saving New Madang could mean saving Ballast from becoming glass
---
>You are "The Rookie"
>You and three others of your five-man team are sitting in hell's waiting room
>While you're getting some sleep, the others members, whom you barely know, are lounging around a holographic map of the city
>Private Rarity starts off by calmly saying, "The Navy sure gave it their all."
>"Better late than never." Cheerfully adds Lance Corporal Pie
>Corporal AJ slams his helmet down on the holo-map
>"How 'bout you show some respect, Pinks."
>"Just sayin', Jack. They missed one."
>"No, they left it for us."
>It's then an alarm sounds, the one all helljumpers recognize
>A moment later, two more soldiers enter the room
>One is Gunnery Sergeant Rainbow "Blitz" Dash
>The other is new, a stern-looking woman with black hair and a purple highlight
>Your sergeant announces, "You know the music, time to dance."
>Everyone looks to the new girl, and Pinkie whispers, "Now there's a spook..."
>"Pods. Now."
>>27661230
>Everyone but you, still sleeping and oblivious, grabs their helmets and heads for the rack of assorted weapons
>Rarity moves to Pie's side and tells her, "Is she wearing /any/ armor?"
>Pinkie causally responds, "Hey, spooks get their privileges."
>The Lance Corporal notices AJ grabbing a suppressed smg
>"Pft, seriously?"
>"Well, we're gonna be 'n close quarters."
>Pie offers him a shotgun, "Exactly," which the Corporal pushes away
>Dash and the new girl, Twilight, finish their small argument before heading across the room
>Blitz points to the row of drop pods, telling Twilight, "Second to last, right next to mine."
>"Mm, cozy." says Pie, and asks as the Gunny approaches, "You gonna tell us her name, Blitz?"
>Dash yanks the shotgun from Pie's hands, "/Mis/ Naval Intelligence."
>The shotgun is slammed back onto the rack, "Our new boss."
>AJ mutters "Oh brother." under his breath
>"So check your mouths, find your chairs..."
>Dash grabs a sniper rifle and shoves it into Rarity's arms, "And get SET, for a combat drop."
>As Blitz walks to the pods, Rarity looks down at her rifle
>"And just what am I supposed to with this /inside/ a Covenant ship?"
>Pie rolls her eyes with a grin, grabs her weapons, and walks over to you
>Still asleep, you can't do anything as she open-palms your helmet
>With a yelp, you fall off of your stack of crates and land on the metal floor with a crash
>You quickly pick yourself back up, and are met with a grinning Pinkie
>"Wake up, buttercup."
>AJ pushes her aside, and you watch the demo expert run to her pod for a second
>You then snap right back to the Corporal, who tells you,
>"Relax Rookie, she don't mean nothing. Besides, now's one of those times... it pays to be the strong, silent type."
>AJ hands you a suppressed M7, and you accept it, letting him go to his pod
>You turn to yours, which you were sleeping right next to, and lock the weapon next to your seat
>You climb in, and the hatch swings down as soon as you're set
>>27661245
>The pods then are spun around, the bottom of the Naval ship opening up to the dazzling red of a sunset
>The two screens on either side of the hatch light up, showing Blitz and Twilight
>Twilight calls over your squad comms
>"Latest intel reports Covenant troops are pushing towards the ONI Alpha Site."
>"And you're telling us this why?"
>"I'll tell you once we're on the ground."
>A countdown starts, and your helmets polarize
>Blitz yells out to everyone,
>"Pucker up, Marines! I sure as hell ain't hosing out your pods!"
>The rows of other ODST pods in front of you begin to blast down, and you hear a familiar beeping
>You grip the pod's flight control sticks as tight as you can
>The countdown reaches zero, and you're launched down to Ballast's surface
>On the way down to the clouds, you all get the sight of a UNSC frigate torn in half, debris floating all around
>You hear Pinkie state, "I take it back, Navy got its butt kicked."
>Blitz asks her, "Hey Pinkie, remember when I told you to shut your mouth?"
>"Yeah?"
>"Consider that a standing order."
>One of your teammate's pod rockets down just in front of you, and you see a cloud of over 200 drop pods descend into the lower stratosphere
>You notice that your team is pretty far away from the group
>As you break through the clouds, Blitz reports,
>"Captain, fifteen klicks off the deck."
>You now see the burning costal city, with the carrier hovering just over it
>Twilight then says something none of you expect,
>"Stand by to adjust trajectory. On my mark,"
>"What'd she just say?" asks AJ
>"Mark!"
>You instinctively activate your thrusters, using the two joysticks to move your pod with the Captain's
>"We're way off course!" notes Pie
>"We're heading exactly were I needed to go." states Twilight
>"But we're gonna miss the carrier-"
>"Battlecruiser!" yells AJ, "One o'clock, high!"

Equestria's preparations for the season of sun run into the beginning, for a bit; better to stagger things a bit so that some ponies are still responsible. Still, it can seem a little off when a special day kicks off an otherwise normal week, but that's just more time to figure out weekend plans and beyond, right? Cooling down in the afternoon is good for every day, though.

Once the big ceremony's done, it's time for just plain summer fun in Equestria. Amidst all the usual work, of course; Canterlot doesn't shut down just because the princesses hosted a holiday.
