Music After Midnight

Lovely cover art courtesy of Dilarus.

The night runs long as a DJ sits alone, trying to produce a new track.

Unfortunately, nothing seems to be working quite right.

You know, this was an amazing story. It is filled with drama throughout, but it all balances out with with a moral lesson that is carried with most Slice of life fics. The dialogue of both characters were done very well, though was a tense problem in one of Octavia's lines. However, that didn't take away much from a well crafted story. A lesson in this story that could be applied to all writers. Good work.

Thank you for the kind words as well. Could you point me at the tense error? I'll get it fixed.

Nice story! You balanced the dialogue, stream of consciousness, thoughts, and emotions perfectly, in my opinion. I always enjoy Scratch and Tavi fics because of their friendship and relationship (and because they're both musicians, of course).

Favourite piece: "twelve thunderous gongs shattering her concentration as they declared to all of Ponyville that she’d wasted another day achieving absolutely nothing."

Beautiful!

Not often I make a comment before reading, but...

Digging that cover art. Now only if I could figure out why the style is so familiar...

Having now read this...

Good god, that plague that is feeling creatively inadequate. A terrible thing to get sucked into. Oi vey, have I been there before...

Good read.

Vinyl sat at her turntable, listening to the sound of her dreams dying.

How could I pass up a hook like that? Answer: I can’t.

A very relatable topic, excellent dialogue, and a nice little lesson. As much as we may wish for our works to be bathed in the spotlight, at the close of the day it is enough if even one person finds enjoyment in them. Well done!

This story was excellent, painful, and a lot of fun to review. And then ramble about in a blog post. Excellent work, love.

Scratch. I was a glorified background element.

Well, yes, but that's why we like you.

In all seriousness, brilliant work in capturing the devastation of throwing a creative work out into the ocean of public consumption, only for it to fail to make even a ripple. The long, dark night of the artist's soul is indeed a terrible one. But as with many things, friends help.

Thank you for a fantastic read.

Just paging through my bookshelves and I stumbled across this story again.

Now that I know I’ll relate to this in the future should I try to be a Rock Star, I find myself enjoying this much more than I did first read. It’s a solid short story and pretty well written.
