Ponies not only make ME want to be a better person than I was before they entered my life, they make me want to HELP OTHERS be better people too.
And that is a GOOD thing by any definition.

Re: My Little Pony LII: 525.600 Ponies!
I know on a technical level what a comma splice is, I just can't seem to catch them, they slip right under my notice. Every time I think I've got most of them (and then some, to be certain) someone points out some more. That's why it frustrates me so.
Huh, well alright, if they want it they're gonna get it even if it seems wrong to me. Not like an extra comma is a big deal. Not like my perfectly made up word "untensed" which they didn't like either I thought it was a nice word, but I guess sacrifices must be made to get on EqD

Re: My Little Pony LII: 525.600 Ponies!
There isn't anything else in the response that I haven't already fixed myself. The points I posted above were the only things left that they specifically pointed out. Well, they did praise the story too, but that's not exactly something to fix
I probably won't wait until monday before I resubmit (I hope to have the next chapter finished by then), but if it's still not approved by then I'll certainly be happy for any help

Re: My Little Pony LII: 525.600 Ponies!
I haven't read it, but I think the term they were looking for is free indirect speech. It's when the narrator definitely isn't the subject, but still expresses the subject's thoughts as their own. James Joyce used it a lot, as did Kafka. A careless writer could shift into first person perspective that way. Joyce also used commas like the store was almost out of them, and he wouldn't have put one in the he said while working example you gave, and neither would I.
... I came to appreciate that mountains make poor receptacles for dreams.

Re: My Little Pony LII: 525.600 Ponies!
Ah, I think I see. Thanks. I don't think I'm doing anything wrong in this case. But I guess I'll try to change it somehow, just to keep them happy.
As for the comma, the full sentence is:
Spoiler“Welcome back to the land of the living,” he said, while working with something she couldn't see.
I can sort of see how it might make sense with the comma, but personally I think it's unnecessary. Probably just a matter of which style guide you swear by. I've added it now just to please them.

Re: My Little Pony LII: 525.600 Ponies!
Oh my goodness. (Doesn't that seem like the kind of phrase that is desperately lacking a comma, but can't find the right place to put it in?) This is a very sweet little comic. Thank you for bringing it to our attention.
Although I must admit I probably would have gone straight for the running vault over the book fort if any of my siblings had tried to pull that on me.
