Updates/New Chapter · 9:27pm Apr 4th, 2020
Hi guys! I hope you all are safe and doing well! I have a few updates for you all. I know some of you have been wondering when the next chapter will be. Don’t worry!! It’ll be out soonish. It’s in the editing process and I’m figuring things out on trying to improve.
• So, I have a few questions for all you.
Are you guys enjoying this fic?
• What do you think I can do to improve my writing?
• Also, do you guys have any ideas for my fic? If so, please let me know what you would like to see! And I can try to fit it into the story.
I’m only asking this because I want to make this story as best as it can be and that it is up to standards. As I’ve said in the past, I have zero experience with writing fanfics and The Aftermath Of The Formal is my first story I’ve ever done. I’m not great with grammar I know that but other things if anything is missing could you please point it out to me? I’d appreciate all of your opinions and I welcome criticism.
If you wish, any of you can feel free to PM thoughts/ideas and I’ll be happy to hear you all out or leave a comment below. I’d be happy with anything.
Hopefully, I’ll see you all soon for the next chapter and I’m sorry this has took longer than others!! Stay safe :)
I would keep writing as you are. You are doing very well for your first fanfic. I would like to see Sunset start to express her artistic skills as flanksy coming through. I feel like it would allow for more character depth. As the saying goes one picture equals a thousand words.

And for Sunset artistic skills I was actually going to add that in as a way for Sunset and Luna to bond over. Now that she’s recovering I feel like that would be a good pass time for her and will help relax her. I do think Luna has an artistic side to her aswell so I think her and Sunny will be spending a lot of time together on that. It would definitely be a good way for Sunset to express how she feels.
Thanks moonrise!! I appreciate your support and help you’ve given me.
I'm enjoying the story you made a lot, even it the first fanfic you have ever written here it's pretty good for first-timer, if you are unsure about the chapter you made then reread it three times: first read - make sure the story flows like a river and not like hydro dam, second read - the interaction of the characters and their dialogue must feel organic and animated your not making a robot, and the third read - edit. If that fails then do what feels natural for you, keep the good work and stay safe.
Have you been using Grammarly lately? Because your grammar seems much smoother than it looked in the earlier chapters. For now, I have no complaints about your story! It looks very nice for your first fiction.
I'm loving the story keep up the good work
I am very much enjoying the story its definitely in my top tier.

Thank you!
I'm really liking this story I look forward to what will happen next do you have any plans on having Sunset reunite with Twilight and is the human Twilight going to appear in this?

Thank you! And yes, Twilight will be reunited with Sunset during the Battle of the Bands. I have a lot planned for that when I come round to it. Though, as for human Twilight I don’t know if she’ll be in this story but maybe a sequel she will appear :)
I can't really help with structure or anything, but the really basic tips always come to mind for beginners in any field.
If you want to get better, there's nothing better than practice. So just keep writing your story, you'll get better as you go.
Don't be afraid to ask for help, there's plenty out there, and "there's no such thing as a stupid question."
And then, something for any creative endeavor, especially in a public setting with the ability to respond. Don't take negative responses too much to heart. You won't be able to please everyone, no matter what you do. If they make a good point, then great, there's more improvement for you, but don't obssess over them. And just because someone gets really, really negative, doesn't mean there aren't a dozen people who like it and just haven't said so out loud. However, that's not to say that getting upset is wrong. Take care of yourself, don't lower yourself to responding in anger, and things will work out for the best.
