TAW


Hi, I'm TAW. I write terrible erotic my little pony fan fiction about cartoon horses having sex with each other, or vaguely defined human audience-inserts, for fun. Because... uh. I have no shame?

Dat drawing xD Masterpiece! :3

Jieeeeeeeeeeezuuuuuuuss

It must be a mare, I see no poni peni

I can safely say that you draw a little better than me. Which isn't saying much, but yeah.

that art is better than I can do... I feel incompetent

Jesus pony best pony

....................wut

Augh! Noo! :fluttershbad:

The suspense has been driving me up a wall all week! I don't know if I can make it to Sunday.

Also, what heresy is this? Everyone knows Jesus is a seapony, not a unicorn.

TAW, how do you respond to allegation from anti-cloppers that you are literally the cancer that is killing FimFic? How will this deadline extension affect the prereaders? Will Knighty reduce the clop ceiling? Do you think this will affect relations with the TWE?

The implication that fimfiction cannot kill itself without my aid amuses me.

Oh, that wonderfully detailed cutie mark... If only I could draw like that... :pinkiesad2:

548668

Yeah, I dunno why ImNot felt the need to specifically call you out and not the dozens of rapid shot clop authors in his leaving blogpost - even if clop was the cancer killing the community, better one in a while of high quality shipping than dozen pure clops.

Oh well. Drama queens gonna drama. :raritydespair:

Is that pickaxe or a cross?:rainbowderp:

Oh, but I cannot wait to see the fics! Also, I disapprove of that drawing, I liked to think I was at least better than you at drawing...now I got nothing left! Oh well, I am eagerly awaiting your nsfw art :rainbowkiss:

TAW

Oh, that was a legitimate complaint? From whom?

ImJustAnotherBrony's blog post was complaining about how the featured box was full of clop, and how even the topped watched author (apparently you at the time) was a clop author and that clop scenes instantly invalidate any sort of artistic merit, etc etc.

I really do have to agree the featured box has quality control issues, but he painted clop as the ultimate evil behind it, instead of I dunno, the fluff principle.

TAW

While I can't particularly disagree, I think it comes off as rather egotistic of him to presume the only reason his not-clop stuff is less popular is because clop is overwhelming. He was never a particularly good writer to start with.

548915
He was jealous of your talent. (Also RazedRainbow posted a blog post making fun of everyone leaving =P)
While I do not write clop, I read the good ones (especially if it is part of a ship fic, it just seems to make the fic more believable) I doubt it will be the death of the fandom like ImJustAnotherBrony seems to think.

TAW

Nobody should be envious of my 'talent', honestly.

I can't wait to see my story that I've worked so hard on get smashed to shit by the competition. Sunday can't come fast enough.

549382
I know right? :twilightsmile:
Brothers in failure.

548668
FiM Fiction cannot self-terminate. :unsuresweetie: (<--- Sweetie Bot)

549385
Indeed. Come Sunday, we stand and fall together.

I wish us luck. We'll need it.

This is true. I never really liked his clop stuff to be honest. There are so many more things wrong with the featured box than "clop". And TAW, I think you know that clop had les to do with being super watched than the fact you wrote requests. There are non-clop POS stories that are insanely popular because the author puts OCs in.

I'll also point out: my clop never features. Not even Dash's Birthday Present or End of a Rainbow which actually have some quite amazing writing and characterization, if I may be so bold to say. WWA, List, Storm all featured. I Do almost did, but it wasn't published under my name so didn't get the alert boost. So to say that clop is bumped is kinda stupid. If you write a ton of clop and get known for writing clop, you get followers who want to read clop. When you get enough followers, your stories feature simply due to 1,000 readers inside 6 hours.

If I published a fic named "Twilight's List 2: Appendix P" I dare say it would feature inside an hour regardless of how bad it was. If I write a clopfic, it probably won't. I do not have the popularity amongst the clop-reading segment to pull in enough views fast enough. TAW and JustAnotherBrony do/did.

It's why I used stylish to kill the featured box. I have little to no desire to read what fimfic thinks is popular. You get shit like Randbow Dash and Luna $verbs a $noun. I rely on word-of-mouth and groups to find fics I may enjoy. Unless fimfic gets a real recommendation engine, this'll be the way I find all my fics.

549824

Eh, even as a socialist, And I asked why, wasn't bad, especially compared to Luna writes a shitfic. Randbow wasn't running around declaring Rarity's generosity to be literally cocerion (for some reason, the Rand fans in the comments unironically compared altruism to a cult) , and while it was out of character, that's preferable to forced innuendo.

All though I'd rather have an interesting/surreal scenario that raises questions instead of strangling the reader with an answer.


And I bet you could get a featured clopfic with a Twilight's List clop sequel. :ajsmug:

As for the featured box, has knighty said anything about revamping the algorithm?

Maybe Bayesian weighting or taking into account the length/tags/author.

It was such terrible characterization. Some of the worst I've seen. Had he made an OC, it would be just another forgettable fic, instead, I have three authors on my "don't bother reading ever" list.

550419

Who are the other two? TWE blacklisted?

550505
No. IDGAF about TWE. Most of their advice is correct, but ultimately unhelpful, since they only ever seem to look at the grammar side of things and never actually get into why a story is terrible.
Personal blacklist. Applejinx and um... I know it when I see, but it doesn't spring to mind immediately.

So wait, wasnt this ImJustAnotherBrony the guy who wrote a foalcon story about Scootaloo and Cheerilee? And he's complaining about the clop?

Yeah. Let that sink in a bit.

When the defence of a fic centers around it not being as bad characterisation as most smut that's not very defended at all. Personally I don't consider an author slapping a canon name onto their bad OC to make some recycled 'point' as very valid at all. Just because something isn't smut doesn't mean it can't be absolutely dire. The main problem with most clop is the total lack of care for characterisation, but that certainly is not a unique flaw.

It also makes "I'm just in it for the personalities!" a bit hard to swallow, when very few even bother to try and get those personalities right, instead focussing on writing near unreadable poor quality facsimiles. In clop, and in other genres too--though typically there's even less care taken for clop, and "and I asked why" would have been atrocious even as a clopfic.

Art at it's best, TAW, an absolute masterpiece.:twilightsmile:

551533

I don't know why, but clop and random/comedy featured fics seem to have an almost militant inability to bother with even basic characterization. Probably because they get approval from people who are just looking for something to satisfy a desire, not so much a nuanced literary work, but still. :facehoof:

Yay, pony! Yay, deadline extension! Yay, ESB reference! Yay, more time to finish what I'm doing, even though you already granted me an extension when I asked for one! Yay's all round! :yay:

Ahem. Any particular reason to extend the deadline, TAW? I'm not complaining, ofc, gives me more to finish my masterpiece pile of words vaguely resembling a story attempt at writing, just curious. :twilightsheepish:

shocking lazinesspeople wanted extra time and I'm too busy to judge immediately anyway

All fine pursuits. :moustache:

Anyway, back to making pony romance. Or something approximating it, anyway.
