Thoughts on Unlike Herself

(Copypasta'd from my FiMFiction)

I've been thinking about Unlike Herself a lot lately, and it's mostly been about my concerns about it.

For one, I know that this story easily could - perhaps should - be much longer, particularly in and around the part where (Spoiler) Pinkie Pie is in that coma, as well as the parts just before/after that (End Spoiler). However, I keep finding myself reluctant to extend the story even more than I already have, primarily because from the start I've intended it to be a short story. Also, I feel that I've already extended it a lot, which I have - by about 5k words, to be exact (it was approx. 1,200 words when I first submitted the story).

Additionally, even though this story is by far my best-written, I still feel that it could be improved, but there's a problem: I don't know where (mostly), but even moreso, I don't know how.

It's just... bugging me.



Honestly, I would like to stress something: I need feedback from you guys, because I'm fairly certain that at least the majority of my concerns are just tricks that my conscience is playing on me. And preferably more than just "I like it" or "it's good", because even though I undoubtedly love compliments, things such as those - as well as something along the lines of "it's a piece of shit" - I can't build off of to improve the story further.


Please and thank you all.


Love and tolerance,
Brendan Kirk "Da Beejees" Julian

Fourth Draft of Unlike Herself Published

I've published the fourth draft of Unlike Herself, simply because I don't know what else I can change/fix. I'll still likely go through it some more with my editor and proof readers before I consider resubmitting it to EqD, but I feel that we're nearing that point. I've almost doubled the word count of the story since the last submission, and I've improved the story as a whole greatly. And even still, I'm astonished that I've come this far with this story - a story that I only started because I had had insomnia.
