    Angry PMs

    When I get angry PMs from authors whose stories I left a negative comment on, I always laugh. This one I got a few minutes ago is one of the funniest I've ever seen.

    Planning a rewrite of Night Fury's Lament

    Anyone remember that story? It was one of the first stories I ever wrote, and the first I ever finished. And it has a lot of problems. From edgy OCs, to HTTYD canon-defying moments, to confusing and absurd plot points, to suspicious contrivances and coincidences, and finally MLP characters acting wildly out of character.

    Looking back on Trust in the Night

    Even after the story has been dead for over a year, I still get PMs and comments asking me for updates on Trust in the Night. What I'd really like to know is why. I was idly thumbing through it the other day and I realised that it sucks. It sucks really, really bad. It has about the same writing quality as those crappy one-shots with the 'X Verbs Y' titles that you see in the

    Ergh

    I said I'd start writing these more often. Here you go.

    I just had to write a six and a half A4 page poetry response for homework. All in one night wherein I also had about a million other things to do and only an hour and a half with which to do them. Needless to say, I'm a very tired froggy right now.

    Sylvia Plath and her depressing poetry will haunt me to the fucking grave.

    Infuriating authors

    I don't make these things very often, in fact I'll probably start making them more often, but I'm a bit ticked off right now and that's going to leak into my writing and reviewing if I don't do something about it.

    I cannot stand it when well-known and respected authors act in a juvenile and childish manner and no one says anything about it.

Featured? · 7:11pm Mar 19th, 2014

Somehow, one of the deranged ramblings I call 'stories' has been featured. I have absolutely no idea how this happened.

Explain, someone? That's not to say I'm not pleased though, since it's my first ever featured story.

This was my reaction when my story got featured.:twilightsmile:

As far as I know, a story gets featured based on a ratio of faves/likes/dislikes/views, and when they get to a certain figure. The feature box is also notorious in choosing which stories get featured. Before, the feature box chose stories on the above equation, but it seems to pick it at random now. I might be wrong about it though.

But savor the moment! Take screen prints! Who knows how long it will last.

Also, it may get featured when you next update it.

The great gods approve of your story

Black Alicorns + Ex-humans is the thing right now.

My Life As My Ironically Bad OC
by Lord Of Dorkness

That story also got featured in the box when it came out and that author did a wtf blog about it.
