Her Knight in Faded Armor LIVE Writing Tonight, Plus Equestria Daily Info! · 4:46pm Sep 6th, 2015

Hey everybrony! (Heh, see what I did there? :rainbowwild:)

Live writing will start tonight! The chat is open now, and I'll probably be around until writing starts at 6PM EST. We'll be goin late tonight! I hope to finish the current chapter and write the next today!

Now, for the announcement! I finally heard back from Equestria Daily! They said that the story is in great shape, but the prereader said that there were a few issues to fix before it could be posted. This is exactly what i wanted to hear, since that means that they gave me a list of what they think needs to be improved. I have intentionally waited until now to edit the first chapters of the fic specifically so that my editors and I could concentrate on the issues that they specify.

So, here's the plan. After this and the following two chapters are posted, I will be taking a very short break from writing new chapters. The team and I will be editing EVERY chapter to look for errors. We'll correct them, and I'll hopefully be back to writing next Sunday. Then, we resubmit and wait again!

If you are an editor/prereader, please send me a PM on FimFic, and I will reply back with a link to our new editing chatroom. We'll discuss what needs to be fixed, and we'll come up with a plan of action for how we'll get this done.

If you aren't an editor or prereader but want to help, here's how you can! I'll be holding 'tryouts' for the editing team. Here's how it works! As you are reading, send me a PM marked "Corrections" with any errors in the fic that you see. Please include why you think it is an error as well as what correction that you would recommend. If you're catching lots of stuff, I'll send you a PM asking if you'd like to be on the team. If I don't send a message, it's nothing personal. i may or may not be completely swamped with corrections by that time. :rainbowkiss:

Finally, I just want to give a huge thanks to our support team out there. These are the people who stay up with me WAAAY past our bedtimes to try to get these silly hoarsewerds hammered out into something that doesn't suck. Editors, prereaders, livereaders, you guys are awesome. The fic would not be where it is right now without all of you. This is as much your story as it is mine, and I am humbled that you would devote so much time and effort for something published under someone else's name. I am honored to work with you all.

Hope to see you tonight. And, as always, stay classy!

Well that is some good news. :P

Could you provide a link to the chatbox?

I can't wait to love read tonight. :D

Looking forward to it, now all I need is the big reveal, hopefully it's tonight. See you all there!

Alright, I can't not do this:
- You broke character in the beginning
- "Tonight" was used twice, and then you used "today."
- The use of apostrophes, or lack thereof, need to be fixed, or you can spell the whole word.
- Past tenses and present tenses are confusing in the third paragraph.
- STOP USING "WE'LL"
- CAPITALIZE YOUR DAMN "I'S!"
- COMMAS!!!!!!!!!
And, also, don't use "and" at the beginning of a sentence.

You know what awkward moment when someone doesn't actually put links out at the time they say they're gonna? Yeah...

Whoops! They're up now though!

I blame Wing.
