Dear Luna that is a word wall if I've ever seen one

CRITICAL WALL OF TEXT.

Other than that, not bad.

Dave said...

I really wish I could get into this. But the wall of text is daunting, it's 2:20 AM EST right now, and the font is too small to be read comfortably.

3 stars from me for now.

Chris said...

Read the whole thing. HUGE wall of text though! Not reccomended for reading on a Smart Phone!

PS: We shall soon reach the year when Tyrant Celestia launched the final world war. After complete world domination, she erased all of this recorded history and replace it with her own

It's very good but as has been said, needs better formatting.

It's because it's a published Google document, those are hard as shit to read.

I made that mistake on Epiphany, eugh. Making public is a lot better.

Do published documents have a viewer limit? (I ask because I don't see the usual right side chat-box)

It may be why it was chosen in this case if there is no more limit when the document is published.

But next time perhaps add extra line-breaks to prepare for the published formatting.

If no pony minds my asking, is it alicorn or alacorn? I ask, because I've seen alicorn before, but this is the first time I've seen alacorn, which I assume is referring to the same thing.

A pony Similiarian? It's more readable at least.

Wall of text is debated a lot in pre-reader reviews.

On one end, its technically accurate.

On the other, it's not "internet" accurate.

We are spoiled.

I'm noticing alot of Alliterations from old Edda. And some intertextual references to Ovid's Metarmophosis.

Nicely done mate.

@Anonymous

That's just because of reading properly-formatted text in a browser.

That's not a wall of text, TRUST ME...I've seen walls of text and they're not pretty.

Hey guys i saw what y'all meant by the "wall of text" i separated the paragraphs so hopefully it's easier to read ^.^

The Ferret said...

So who do we poke if we find typos? ^^;

Skratch said...

lol if y'all find typos you can email me at pyropup789@yahoo.com, just make sure you tell me in the subject.

ZettaLux said...

Lots of types, misuse of words and grammar - but an editor could fix that up. The concept was good, but at times it felt a bit rushed. Too many ideas thrown at the reader makes it hard to focus.

Also, the transition from 'lore-telling' to 'real-time' is a bit bothersome, if that makes sense. This would be a good pure lore-telling story anyways.

Allicorn said...

@Jorlem Definitely with an "i" if you ask me ;-)

This looks interesting

......that is a BIG wall of text....

>backs away slowly

@Jorlem and Allicorn: The reason i use "Alacorn" is because Unicorn is Latin for "One Horn". Alicorn would mean "Other Horn"...which sounds kind of odd. Alae/Ala, on the other hand, is the Latin for wing. ^.^

@Ivan: I'm not really sure what you all mean by "Wall of Text." I tried to separate it to make it easier on the eyes but aside from that i don't know what to do. If you could tell me how to fix it i would very much appreciate it.

Why no era of the Earth Pony?
