You know, I've been wanting to write fanfiction for quite some time myself, but I've never really had the work ethic to actually do it.

Well... if you don't have the work ethic... DON'T. I try to update my story (make a new chapter) every week, and that is really the only reason that I'm at all popular, that and I am awesome at plot development.

If you don't have the work ethic or skill then stay the FUCK out of it. It is a very harsh world.

Well, too be fair, WoodenToaster takes months in between his songs, but still manages to be the second most popular brony musician behind(The) Living Tombstone.

But, yeah, you're probably right.

Keyword: Musician

He has to craft an entire song, and entire idea through sounds that appeal to the ear. This involves crafting a beat, melody, harmony, lyrics, key signatures, time signatures, rythms and MORE.

The fact that it only takes a few months is more than good enough for a musician.

All that an author has to do is create a theme, create a plot to work with that theme, then craft characters than can change alonside the plot and make the story interesting.

It takes a LOT more work to be a fully-fledged musician than an author.

If you can't supply the ability to create an interesting story (original, mind you) and characters that actually seem real (no Gary Stus/Mary Stus) AND do it while delivering it in a actually decent style of writing, then you can't pull it off. Not to mention that you have to actually update the stories consistently or people can get mad...

So no, if you can't do that, even at a lower level, you can count on your story being a failure, locked away in the never-ending, constantly-expanding vaults of fanfiction garbage.

This is actually the standards that you have to hold up to in order to be even remotly succesful with fanfiction. (I am NOT exaggerating)

You know, you don't need a good work ethic to do anything right? Just an idea and some motivation, do it in bursts, go make some coffee, watch TV a little, come back and edit then continue. Looks like between myself, Tribenchia, FRE and Morlo, we got the creative world covered, art, stories, music and movies :P

Actually, I've just noticed something: The pet name I gave for Grace to call Sunbreaker is Sun and the name people type out for my nation's name is Sun because my real name's not online.

Sun and Sun...

"art up"; to improve the aesthetic quality of (something) through some form of art: This dress is so plain, it could use some arting up. I had an interior designer art up my apartment.

Being a little less facetious, I didn't know you made a team!

Well, I couldn't 'art' if my fucking life depended on it... and I go to an arts school...

I just love my music and writing, they go hand-in-hand together.

Also, I'm thinking of having Reynolds stumble into the hideout. Then have Frazier waking up while being dragged away by a bruiser, which he promptly wrecks out of fury...

Yeah, I said the same thing about arting when I first started last year :\ turns out, I lied. As for that plan sure, go for it, just make sure your specify it as a brass coloured bruiser, they're generally weaker than the rest.
