Welcome to Struggling Authors. Here, if you feel as though your stories are not being recognized for all that they are, if you want to receive constructive criticism and input, if you are an editor and proofreader and are looking for things to preview, or if you just want to hang around and read some pretty great stuff, then join us here at Struggling Authors. Everyone and everything is welcome here.
Regarding the forum and posting threads, tread softly on that. I'm fine with threads but take it easy on posting new threads so that the forum doesn't flood. I'll monitor the forum and delete threads that aren't getting any attention. Other than that, I don't have any problems.
I hope you enjoy the stay.

hi everypony!
this is a big story im working on right now:
The Meaning Of Lotalty
its not getting a lot of notice, and im wondering if some people here could give me some tips on why? and maybe what i can do to make it even better.
Hopfully the fanfic I've been working hard on ill finally be read.
Hello thar.
I'm looking for people to pitch new ideas at me for my fanfic Ponyville Days. Things have been really slow recently, so I'd appreciate someone to pitch some critique and suggestions at me to get the ball rolling.
Thanks a bunch!
Alright, there is only two story which I would like to put here for attention. Also, a universe, which I'm working on...
The Balance In Equestria : Book One - New Winds
This was my first story... and it turned out terribly. But recently, I've started to rewrite the chapters! New storyline, better description, better characterization, better grammar, details and just overall... EVERYTHING is better.
What is the problem here? Well... the rating. The rating is because of this story's past look. And when someone looks at this story, he/she will immediately turn around and leave it... or in worse cases, dislike it even without reading it!
So, I have to pull back the story from minus levels, back to plus. But I can't do it, if people judge it by its 'cover'...
Protect Her Golden Eyes
And this one? My first romance story, which I posted not so long ago. I was aware of everything, except one thing!
Explaining why there isn't any romance anytime soon...
So yeah... I fixed it, but those misunderstood dislikes are still there. It doesn't bother me that much, but they're still there and I want to make up for it... after all, it was my fault.
The Balance Universe - Basics. If you're interested, take a look at my universe and feel free to use these in your future story. Just place the Universe's name there in a link and message me about your work, I would like to see the outcome happily. (Do note that, it's just the basics. There's more to this universe! History and description about the creatures, magic styles and use. If you want to start your fic now, ask me questions about required info. OR you could just wait for me until I finish the whole thing or at least the history part...)
That is all and have a nice day!

Hey fellas, I'm Jacoboby1, writer and creator of Equestria Noir. My stories don't get as much attention since I don't write one very long story. I write a bunch of little stories all tied together, Similer to a tv show. I hope you guys will consider my stories as you venture out. Noir is coming to the close of it's first season pretty soon so you guys have a little bit of reading ahead of you. Luckily the stories are short enough that they can go through pretty fast depending on your skill as a reader. The stories are detective stories starring Detective Private Eye. Filled with dark themes, mystery, romance, action and of course tying each episode together with a theme or lesson. So enjoy!
Hey, guys, PlazmaticBrony here!
I'd really appreciate it if you'd take a look at my fic, Welcome to Demongate Academy. I'm trying to get it seen as much as possible, and any thoughts you have on it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! -Plaz
I am very new to this site, and I uploaded my story yesterday. I was confused and unsure why I was getting so many dislikes in the first hour, trying to edit my mistakes as best I can from the few people that were kind enough to give me feedback. I fear it's already too late for my story to reach a positive ratio on likes and dislikes, but if anyone is willing to provide any form of criticism on my story, it'd be very grateful.
anypony wanna read my stories Admin and Never Alone? im trying to get people to ask questions so i can finish some Character Development done. please and thank you!
hey here is my fic give it a read :D http://www.fimfiction.net/story/99503/escalation
Please tell me what's wrong with my The Four and One Erebi Nights
The comments are positive - the votes - primarily down. It's extremely frustrating...
I feel as if my first and only fic, Stone and Secrets isn't as popular as it should perhaps be. I'm not saying it's the best fic on the site, but I know I've seen less in the feature box before.
I've recently been making significant edits and adding a few chapters in between to flesh some things out, but I'm almost finished with those.
So, if you're so inclined, perhaps give me a chance and some feedback?
Thanks everybody!
Stone and Secrets
Completed my story, an adventure story based (very loosely) on Greek mythologies. Ponies in Tartarus. Please come read.
After Spike's soul gets lost and accidentally reaped, Twilight Sparkle and her friends must travel to the land where the dead go in order to save him. Experience new, exotic and hazardous environments under Equestria. They must pass through the ones that defend the underground world from tresspassers.
I'm disappointed; my newest story, The Infinity Complex, has good reviews (27 likes/3 dislikes). However, there are not a lot of new readers coming to check it out.
Hey all......MANX is a breed of cat with no tail. I'm a cat with no tales.....Used to write but don't any more.....altho I still like to offer my opinion once in a while. (hehe...opinions are like plot-holes...everyone has one..some stink...and some are full of sh*t) Feel free to ask for mine (opioion....NOT the plot-hole, thank you!) And I will feel free to answer....or ignore you!

Thank your for that teed-bit I will put it to good use.
I still would like a proof reader though.
Hey, people,
I hope it's okay that I added my story in three different groups (main, slice of life, and general).
I'd just love it if you could read, review, and/or critique it, but most of all, I'd like you to enjoy it.
It's called Villains, a collection of stories about who else but the antagonists of the series. Each antagonist gets a chapter. The aim of it all is to find out what makes these characters who they are.
Thanks in advance to those who take the time.

>>308050 I always recommend reading this book. Did a lot for me.
Hello every one I just joined I thought this place looked good.
I know I have a ways to go to improve my writing. For one thing I need a proof reader.
I don't think my writing is under appreciated but that's because I am still learning and I know it's not that good but I am hoping to get better.
I hope that I can improve and that any one how wants to read my stroies can.
Thank you for your time
I hope the best for you in the the future
