Afraid · 3:29am Jul 9th, 2012
As excited as I am that the story is going to come out, my fear is no one will like it, I have a need in my mind for everyone to like me and I try to be perfect but it scares me to think I could mess something up or someone could hate me.... Im also afraid I will be writing and my sister will walk in and tease me for liking "a show for 5 year old girls" My fears to me are terrifying but it seems to everyone else that I am in fact normal, and worrying over nothing. The pit in my stomach wont leave though.
My parents walked in on me watching MLp. I looked them in the eyes and said, " what?" they looked at me and went back to bed. I kept watching the show like nothing happened. You can't let these thing discourage you. You need to embrace it and move on. When I wrote my first fic, I didn't care about views or likes. I just wanted people to read it. It is now my most popular story. Just sit back and relax. If its bad, just swallow hard and try again. Its all a part of growing u and maturing that's all.
-Magic
She knows I watch it but she thinks anything related to the show is stupid therefore its weird for her to walk in on me writing and then to rub it in she tells my brother who hates mlp and he's mean to me, its a vicious circle and it makes me feel bad somewhat. So Im torn, Im a die-hard brony, but no one approves of it so I get shit... It kinda sucks
Before I started writing fics, i felt the same way.
As an artist, people have to except persecution, and judging, no matter what they think. 
No one in my family knows i like the show, i'm sincerely undercover with my bronyness. Although i do have friends who are bronies as well.
But listen, the first story i ever wrote for this website was mostly disliked.
you should be fine.
Well, my mom knew I watch Inuyasha and Naruto on toonami or whatever when I was a kid.
Started watching anime on the internet. Mom thought nothing of it.
Started watching MLP, jokingly asked my mom if she'd like to watch it with me. She laughs.
She didn't really care, Iv'e always been an odd kid. My dad didn't really pay attention to me much, and let me do my own thing.
So, my story is meh.
-Flying Fox kills young moose, Foxxy
I liked your story, so your fear of nobody liking it can be put to rest.
I just finished my first story, and I remember feeling the same way. I learned that most people on here aren't trying to be mean if they leave you a critical review. They want to help you improve as a writer.
Its nice that the brony community is kind, makes me feel so much better! Thanks for the reassurance about the story though, and Im glad you all liked it!
