I've been helping a friend of mine write a story on FIMfiction.
Right now "The Sour Grapes Chronicles"
www.fimfiction.net/story/7109/… is up to thirty chapters (Modestly short chapters) and as of the last three or four chapters we have our titular character taking a trip to the Griffonian Empire.
Incredible-Werekitty and I are rather open to creative criticism on our story and would love to hear any feedback. Even if it's only on our interpretation of Griffons, their Culture and their Empire.
