What happens when an introverted fan actually manages to write one thousand MLP fanfiction story's? What drove him to such a crazy goal and to what end?

from what im seeing people might hate it, love it, or pass it by but to me this is fawksing beautiful, i wanna drop the bomb but i have to much respect for this story.........

Well done...... now how do i do that clapping gif

....... I find my self liking this story, yet not at the same time. However, the like wins out. I just wish it wasnt completed.

Well... that was certainly something different. However... if you don't mind me saying so, it seemed rather... pointless. There simply was not much in the story, and it just seemed... unnecessary. So, this guy, who has a terrible past, decides to write a bunch of stuff, gets famous over something, and supposedly gets taken to Equestria. In 3k words, with no real continuation to it. It kinda fell a little flat, if you know what I mean. If you had done something else with it, it might have been better, but as it is, it doesn't seem as if it has a real point to it.

Yet, perhaps that was the point? I don't necessarily think that that's a bad thing, persay, but it does detract from my personal enjoyment of the story.

Although, I do have to say that, before you condemn me, I did like it. It's just that the reasons above also made me kinda dislike it.

he picked up the phone, smiled with tears in his eyes and said, "I need one more week, then I'll be done." Christopher remembered crying as the director got off the phone to elated yells from the ones eavesdropping on their conversation.

Rainbow Dash in particular was crushed to learn that it was the picture of her that had sent his mother into a rage causing her to cut him in the throat. The trauma ruptured his larynx and left him mute.

:rainbowhuh:

Well, obviously I need to get writing! :trixieshiftleft:

*SPOILERS*

The character just doesn't resonate at all. Sure, the nerdy introvert part of me (the entirety of me) got a huge shout-out from the beginning, but then you drop a huge bomb of severe child abuse. You rarely give any opportunity for the reader to get eased into the ubiquitous bombs you keep dropping.

The story itself seems a bit off, even if it's set in the near-future. What this guy does in the span of less-than 7 years (T.V seasons aren't exactly the same amount of time as years, so around 4-5) is that he is a highly accredited writer that apparently wrote THE BEST FANFIC EVUR to the point that he's been hired as a writer for MLP, but isn't hired. His accolades confused me the entire story because of how tangential the facts started to get. Putting the pieces together to figure out what was going on proved some logical fallacies in the story.

Also, your sense of time seems to be off. He describes being abused by his parents when he gets into the MLP fandom, where this fandom has been going on for 7 seasons (4-5 years, at most, 6). Going with the most plausible number of years for those seasons to occur by American standards, being five years, the protagonist was 17 when he was drawing in crayon his passion for ponies. From avoiding a mother with a machete (sounds a bit too wacky) because of his "innocent" drawings, our protagonist apparently couldn't defend himself at the age of 17 to 18 years old.

Lastly, the ending was a complete bomb (the bad kind of bomb). In no way did you properly conclude this story. What happens to the protagonist? Does he get sucked into Equestria? Does he make a success from his life with "Sparkle Around the World?" Or does he realize that he's simply written 1,000 fanfics for a show about six pastel-colored equines? The ending isn't enough of a jumping point to make sensible conclusions as to what happens. Quite frankly, because this kid is so sad, I assumed he'd just kill himself before finishing the fanfic.

I will say that, as I didn't enjoy the read, I enjoyed that you at least were proficient in your grammar and spelling skills (most of the time). Other fanfics that strike out on story that incidentally strike out on grammar spelling just really annoy me.

Overall, meh. Simply meh.

Thanks for liking it. It's kind of a crummy story idea so hopefully I'll have something better

I can't condemn you over something so small, bro ^_^ It's a oneshot with not much going for it so I can see why people are upset lol. If enough people like it I'll set to work on making it into a proper story.

Thanks for catching that, man lol.

Assanaut, thanks for the critique, man. This was one of those ideas that came to me in the bathroom and took two hours to write. I'm surprised the spelling and grammar is good enough because I only did one quick read myself. ^_^ As for the ending...yeah. :rainbowlaugh: One day I'll probably go back and flesh this out and make it a longer story but for now it's merely a one shot to kill writer's block. :pinkiehappy:

I'm surprised I remembered what to point out in my little "review." I usually forget these things...

D'awww that was sweet! Really well written 2.

...I'm having another one of those "Ugh, this used to be me" moments.

Duncan, who had chosen to stick close to his bud, read the message and smiled. “Oh, yeah, it is pretty swagtastic, ain’t it?” He pointed into the crowd towards a longhaired blonde. “That, my cutie mark crusader, is your artist. For the life of me I can’t remember her name but I do know this,” and he leaned in close with a chester cat grin, “she’s single.”

Cheshire cat. Not chester. But otherwise, very nice.
