>>29874 You'd have to check the site to really get a more in depth answer to that question. One thing it said was for your story to be at least one thousand words, mines around twenty-five hundred. The quote: "I didn't have time to write you a short letter, so I wrote you a long one," kept popping up in my mind as I typed out my story, so I'd recommend you remember it too.

Here it is! I completely rewrote the story and shifted away from the prompt it had been based on. https://www.fimfiction.net/story/578016/funny-bake-broken Definitely learned a lot while making this, surprised how much enjoyment I got from doing it too.

>>29878 The pacing is really good!

>>29879 Thanks! So did you enjoy reading it, or did you just take a quick skim through? I think I may have stretched out the beginning a bit too much.

>>29893 I enjoyed it, and no, each part was pretty well-paced out, hence my comment.

>>29762 The only stuff I ever seem to get any ideas for end up being longer stuff, or I imagine them better as comics. My brain might just be too special for this whole writing thing.

>>29895 I still ended up editing it a bit more. Probably should have waited a day or two before trying to get eyes on it, as just thinking about some lines I realize how much can be changed or shortened down for the better. >>29898 >The only stuff I ever seem to get any ideas for end up being longer stuff Try thinking of something silly involving ponies that wouldn't lend itself too well to being longer than a single chapter. >or I imagine them better as comics. I sometimes do the same, but you should remember that if it's not good enough as a written story, then it might not be good enough a story if it were drawn either.

Watch out for anyone asking to make a comic out of your story, they're scammers/bots; also don't click on any links they send you.

>>29906 I'm not really any good at just sitting down and thinking of ideas, I usually just have to write them down when they come to me, then come back later to flesh them out into an actual story (I don't do this part). Only thing I thought of recently that would count as a single chapter length would be a prequel short type thing of a longer story I also haven't written. Probably true, you still need to be good at writing to make a good comic. It's just a different way of expressing the story. Good thing I'm not an artist either.
