Chapter 3 is live! · 12:06am Nov 3rd, 2016
So chapter 3 is (finally) up.
Great apologies to keep everyone waiting. Between my own writer's block, Autumnschild's busy life, and the wonderful baffling progression of life, the chapter is finally done.

Keeping Your Characters in Character
*Inhales and exhales deeply* Alright… Let’s do this. Recently, I wrote Twilight Sparkle a certain way, and the person who pre-read the story warned me about portraying her as… well, kind of a bitch. I mean, I had my reasons. It’s an AU story, so characters should act a little differently. I… don’t think he really agreed.
I have a couple of quick questions; firstly, what is ya'll's opinion on our resident seller of apples and apple products? More specifically, on her accent. In the show Applejack is depicted with a southern, Appalachian accent, with a lot of "ya'll"s and "howdy"s and "sugercube"s. In a visual or auditory format such as a video or radio play, it's pretty easy to get such an accent across. Much harder in a written medium such as a comic or fanfiction.
Had a convo recently about google docs, and I'm surprised at the amount of people that don't use grammar/writing extensions. Unless I'm mistaken, it is the primary writing platform used by authors on here. Likely even fanfiction as whole. As per recommendation by a fellow respected author, I am inclined to post the ones I use, although I don't expect this blog to actually be seen.
