I think I'm dead · 5:34am Aug 8th, 2014
I'm not sure about this officially, but I think I might be dead. I have had no will to write anything for the past few months and my interest in fimfiction is steadily dropping. I think it has something to do with how stupid everyone on this site is, or how embarrassing it is in this day and age to be a brony. Once upon a time it was cool and different. Now it's just sort of like the world's biggest sunshine variety coach. I'm not saying I quit. I'm not saying I'm done.
What I'm saying is--right now, I really don't know what I'm doing. I suppose if I get the will to write again, I'll write again. By all means I have stories that need finishing, half of which I've never even posted.
But yeah, being a brony is embarrassing, guys. ...And I work at a playhouse! Where we do musicals and shit! Where that shit is super accepted!
Just, yeah, fimfiction's not changing, but I am. I just hope this place gets its head out of its ass soon and we all find a way to cure stupid.
Would you like to talk on Skype?
And it's not about being 'cool', nor should it ever be something like that. If you don't want to shout it to the world, then you don't have to. Enjoy your passions, even if you have to keep them in secret. Enjoy writing for the sake of writing, and the fandom and the show for themselves, not for anything else. That's the most important thing. Damn everything else.
Not everyone is stupid. I also noticed the people. If you go to YouTube and find a video with alot of views it is for sure you'll find a hand full of bad comments. Same with this site. You take a story that becomes let's say #1 of the top 10 and someone will make a comment saying that they hate the story for the most stupid reason. Someone once made a comment on a story and said it was the worst story he ever read because of the fact the main character couldn't bake! And now there are these people called "trolls," whichwill do anything no matter who they hurt just to get attention.Than there is the fact that we are Bronies. People say all these hurt full things too us even though all we do is which a TV show. My Little Pony is just the same as animie. And I hate animie! But I don't go up too someone's face and call them queer. I guess me and you are one of the few not lost from society.
I always hate to see a great author hang-up his cap, but sometimes "you gotta do, what you gotta do". hope that your life treats you well and that you can find that spark that makes living so great.
2353015 Seeya.
I'm sorry I insulted you with a broad statement.Not really.2353022 Not like I knew what a troll was or anything. Thank you so much for explaining that to me. I'm embarrassed by the people around me. Not mad at the trolls.
2353056 I wasn't explaining what a troll was, I was just trying to make an example. Sorry if there was a misunderstanding.
2353064 Sorry for being an asshole. Just sort of in a peachy mood right now.
you do not have my permission to die
2353067 It is quiet alright. I would of done the same.
Fuck you Sorren
I rushed in here thinking you had cancer or something
And damn sorry you feel so depressed, I will always be embarrassed of my love for ponies.
Do what u feel is right I must thank you for the laughs tears and suspense you gave me from your story's thank you Soren
So don't take it serious.
Do it as a past time and have fun with it.

Very sorry to hear that. Unfortunately, I happen to share all the sentiments (and do all my pony activity from proxies and separate accounts). I guess in an alternate universe, something may have worked out, but right now, I can't even blame your decision. FIMfic won't change. If only because it's ran and populated by humans.
And I'm pretty sure you don't even remember who I am, but hell, whatever. I hope you succeed wherever it is that you end up going.
I'll stop being creepy now and let you rest in peace.
Well, we enjoyed your stories while they were here man.
I honestly can sympathize with drifting away from the brony community a bit; if you find your path elsewhere, by all means man. It was a great run either way. 
I wish you luck with whatever you decide to do, and if you continue here or come back to it later on, good on ya. But, it falls to what you wanna do.
I wish ya the best man.
I'll break my year-or-so long silence to say, I'm in the same boat. And it's not that I lack the complete will to write anything. I have a decent chunk of an original, non-pony story in the works, but I can't seem to find any inspiration or willpower to write a story involving hooves and manes. But you're right, something just seems weird now. Like a year ago, I'd gladly sit on my couch at 7am and watch a new episode, but with this last season I barely managed to watch them on my DVR four or five days after they premiered.
Who knows. Have nothing against the pones, just feeling a bit rut-like is all.
Yeah. Just don't feel so interested in FimFiction anymore. I check every once in a while for updates to my favorites, and my feed, but that's about it. I don't really have any motivation to write. And my interest in the show itself is waning. I still gladly watch the episodes when they come out, but even when I look back at the old episodes, I just don't feel the spark that I used to feel.
I'm not sure even if I want to get back into it. But if I do, then it's cool.
2353193 Of course I remember who you are. Thanks for that rpoofreading BTW.
2353160 Sorry... Also, I may have come off as a little edgy, but I'm not exactly depressed. I'm frustrated and burn out. And like I said, this isn't a gone forever blog post or anything like that, but more of a i-don't-know-when-I'll-be-back sort of blog post.
2353366 exactly.
Hmmm, I'm pretty sure it should be the opposite, I should be thanking you. I never did anything. You may have mixed something up.
But yeah, back to resting in peace. I'll also mention that you made the right choice, I think I forgot that. Pretty important.
Sorry you don't feel that rush of popularity that being a brony once provided for you.
Maybe just not get involved in drama and just read/write.
2355392 It's not even the drama. It's the simple fact that the quality bar has sank to the same level of the average Stephanie Meyer novel. Quite frankly, it's depressing.

If you're looking for quality, you're not on the right site. While I find a few okay fics now and then that I read, this isn't top notch Stephen King's best seller here. This is fanfiction. If you're referring to people themselves, you have to realize that most people are anti-social shut ins or don't treat others like human beings over the internet and feel more entitled to be an asshole because of their anonymity status. People will be stupid. Stick with your friends who are less stupid and have fun doing your own thing.
But, if you feel like leaving the site for a bit or forever is what you want to do, go right ahead. Your choice.
2355740 Please read. I have not said I am leaving forever. I haven't even said I'm leaving.
And once upon a time, the stories here used to be good. You've been here long enough that you should know what I'm talking about.
2355746
The stories here were only good when I first joined because I had no particular taste in what I wanted to read. Now that I've narrowed it down, a lot of stuff is sub-par to what I consider "good." I also approve stories, and there's a lot of bad stories that come in the queue. With either terrible grammar but good ideas, or good grammar and terrible ideas, or everything screams "horrible." But if it meets that low standard that Fim has, that's all that matters. Cause we're here to let people write, mostly, what they want and make their own worlds and stuff without the restriction of what EqD's standards (However you feel about EqD doesn't matter. Their standards for approval are higher than ours).
And sorry for misreading the blog. I haven't got much sleep lately. If you choose to stop writing, that's fine. No one will get angry. Some people begin to feel writing is a chore on this site more than a hobby, and if they're not making a career out of it, they're more than welcomed to stop writing. I haven't written in a while myself, lack of motivation + a long time of no writing really gets to you, but I'm sure I'll pick it up sometime later. Take a break. No one will be angry if you do.
That's what happens when you're the biggest jerk on the entire site. Good riddance.
Also your post is really stupid
^ you seriously think that label was ever cool? Just wow.
Anyway, maybe when you leave you'll realise how much of a dick you are and sort your shit out because at the moment you're just the wave of toxicity with no real redeeming quality, I can only hope you're not like that irl because I can't see somebody acting like you do lasting 4 seconds. Goodbye.
2356264 Oh look who's all butthurt~
Finally decided to speak up? Why the wait? Did I once tell you how bad your story was or something and start a one-sided grudge match?
And yes, that label was cool. It was something to be proud of the first couple years.
2356576 Finally decided to speak up? Oh please, I'm only on this account because you blocked my other one, I just wanted to tell you how pleased I am about this recent development. Maybe if you weren't the cause of 99% of the problems you face you'd have a better time.
being a "brony" wasn't cool, isn't cool now and will never be cool. Nor is it a particularly good label, nor is it specific, nor should you have ever been proud to use it. And you? Using the label brony? So you're a hugboxing flamer? Yeah that doesn't work. Unless you've changed over the past few years. Pfft.
Yet again you've proved yourself to be an utter fool. Just hilarious really. Pls quit ty.
2356611 oh how cute. Thanks or typing me those two paragraphs that I didn't read.
2356670 Do you think that somehow makes you some cool guy? "Haha I didn't read words", fucking rebel. Have a really shitty time. Bye.
2356707 no, I just didn't read your words because they're generally stupid and get no point across apart from flinging shitty insults. Its sort of like watching an eight year old have a temper tantrum, so I just ignore it until it goes away.
*checks his pulse* hmmmm yep its perfect, he's dead alright
The fandom was always this retarded, just in different ways. Sorry I'm kinda late.
2438492 just a bit.
