Being against evil doesn't make you good.
I've been a bit under the weather since Trotcon, but feeling better now.
This weekend I need to work on putting together some poni stuff for my niece (she's up here for her birthday), and my inability to do basic things makes that a bit difficult. So I may be delayed a few days on the Trotcon retro and the other long post I still really really want to share with y'all.
To head off any possible confusion, I've added a clarification to TEEE's story page and a note at the top of the chapter explaining that TEEE was not written using LLM generative AI (the story actually predates this technology by several years).

I remain alive, and as of June 13th am now the number of symmetries in a cube.
I will be at Trotcon.
Please contact me if you're there! (Or even if not, that's okay too.) 
I might do an author party. I'll announce it with another post. Signal boost would be useful.
Sorry for disappearing. Ironically the thing I wanna talk about is the thing that keeps me from being here at FF or getting anything done. 
Who knew a heartwarming comedy about cuckoldry wouldn't be popular?
Me neither.
Let's see how long I leave it up. Place your bets.

I thought it was good, Trick. I gave it an up vote, too!

Aww.
Don't delete it before I get a chance to read it.

I'm not planning to take it down very soon. I might even leave it up.
Maybe.
That's a shame, I thought it was pretty good.
I think the name alone justifies it's existence but that's just my since of humor

I hate it when authors take down stories just because of a little backlash. And you've done this several times. It's yet another trait of yours I dislike. Removing a story just because it gets downvoted or complaints in the comments is cowardice. And you are better than that.
If trolls like Evictus can post a heavily downvoted story every couple of days and keep them up, why can't you keep up your more serious attempts? You actually have talent. Don't let the haters get to you. If you can deal with all my harsh criticisms of TSJ, you can ignore other idiots too.
I read that as "place your butts".
I have nothing more to contribute here. :B
I loved that story though!

I think you should leave it up. Even if it's not getting the best reception.
Of course, I say that having not read it yet, but then again, how bad can it be? Zyrian made me read Mommy Dearest, and . . . well, I bailed pretty quick, but there's no way this can be like that, is there?

No, this one's funny. At least to me.
4730271
You know you want to read it.

Well, I've read it now. I don't know if it was particularly funny . . . certainly not a comedy, anyways. Not exactly my cup of tea, but I guess whatever consenting adult ponies get up to is their business.
I do like your headcanon on the Cake twins, and now I'm wondering if that's actually possible without magic horse reproduction(TM). I feel the need to do some research, dammit.
<some research later>
. . . well, that was eye-opening. It's called superfecundation, can happen in cats and dogs, and has also been documented in humans. No word on Equines, although IRL equines don't do well with twins.

I think you just contradicted yourself, but it may not matter. I don't actually remove my stories, I just relocate them, and I have every right to decide which location to put them in because I want to be able to provide context.
With the exception of stories I'm rewriting, you can find a link to all of my stories I've relocated from Fimfiction from my first blog entry (it says as much on my user page).

You remove them from Fimfic. Where they can be voted and commented on. I don't know if we can do that wherever you move them to, I'm at work on my phone and can't check. But the point stands: you seem to fear criticism, and therefore remove any story with bad ratings and/or negative comments. It doesn't matter that the story is still available, you make it harder to find. This says to me that you are unwilling to take criticism.
But I know that's not true because you put up with my bullshit in the comments of TSJ, even when I post the same nonsense every chapter. So yes; you ARE better than that. But for some reason you're selective about it. Keep the stories up. Repost stories you've moved. Show you're not a coward. I know you're not.

I'm not afraid of criticism, but I want Fimfiction to be a showcase for works I'm proud of. Those works are elsewhere because I completely agree with the criticism against them and have no interest in fixing them.
I understand your point of view, but I think you're expecting too much from authors. If I write something truly, horrifically terrible, I'm not obligated to leave it up forever and I shouldn't be.

I thought for a while how to word this. I know I come off as an asshole a lot in my comments, and that's because I tend to talk before thinking. If I still come off as an asshole, then I guess there really is no help for me.
I'm not telling you to do anything. Even in TSJ where I bitch and moan and belittle. I do not think I have ever told you to do anything. I have simply pointed out how things look from my perspective. That is what I am doing here: telling you how it looks from my perspective when you(or any other author) removes a story because of backlash or poor ratings. And your excuses don't fly with me. Again, if a troll like Evictus(seriously, look them up) can keep up the abominations he calls stories, YOU, an author with actual TALENT, can keep up a bad story where you actually tried. The fact you care so much for a little colored bar attached to your work is quite petty, in my opinion.

I appreciate the time and effort that goes into your comments, and it does positively shape how I see my stories.
I don't care as much about the bar as it might appear, though you're right that it's somewhat silly to care at all. For me it's just a means to an end, because it enables me to reach a wider audience with the service I provide.
