Another day stretching a dime into a dollar. All work and no pony makes brony a dull boy.

When you post your last book in a series hoping to finally do something right and you get less than 100 views and mostly negative ratings in the first day.

Don't let it get you down too much, you're doing things mostly right.

Thanks! You're pretty much the only one that ever provided feedback and such on my stories. Guess I wouldn't feel so bad if those that didn't like them would tell me something, anything; at least then it'd feel like I learned something.

Guess I should of joined a new writer's group and built up more followers when I started. Oh well, these were all just for fun and boredom in the end. I'll see if I can get through this one or just drift back to lurking...

Thanks again for the encouragement and good luck with finishing your Guardsmares series!

Well I've got good news and bad news...
Bad: There will be more futa
Good: There will be sexy times that don't involve futa.

What can I say, I like what I like. :pinkiehappy:

So, yeah lots of new horse-words today. I really want to finish this story, but recently work announced staff are being recalled to office duty, which will mean little free time to write (I have an hour commute each way). I also find myself pretty unmotivated to write as it seems each update brings a handful of views and downvotes (sometimes to all my stories).

We'll see what happens...

Uh oh. You jinxed it, Sparklebutt. NOW you're in for it.
(I've always thought of Twi as physically small, so I do hope she doesn't... overexert herself. With those graphs and spreadsheets.)

That's a slightly larger pool of dicks than I had any reason to suspect. :twilightoops:

:rainbowhuh:

Alright, I've gotta confess that you've basically lost me at this point; I didn't sign up for a less structured version of Clocktower Society :applejackunsure:

Not familiar with that story, but don't worry, I know exactly what I'm doing!

The fact that image is failing to load now is really telling, isn't it?

Honestly the bdsm stuff was just to challenge myself, since I have no interest in it.

I can promise after my Pinkie chapters the story is planned to go linear, but the fact I've thrown off someone who carefully tracks so many characters in their own writing tells me I bucked up royally with trying to get creative...

Oops. :twilightsheepish:

Clear disinterest of readers?
Why on Earth or Equus don't people like this?!
Being a long-time lurker of the Romance section, this is at BARE MINIMUM a B+, and a solid A in my book.
Now, I love lore, and some do not, particularly in clop stories, but stil...
*i* like it. Whether or not the opinions of a random citizen of Earth that moonlights as a bug-pone is up to you.
Anyway, happy holidays from the abyssal depths of the Internet!

It makes sense to me... Of course, I've read the other three stories.
You only have one major OC so far. And she's cute. Did she ever nab her special crush?

Thank you for your kind words. I do have to say going over my own outlines, any readers finding themselves disinterested or lost is entirely my fault.

Some of my favorite tropes in stories are broken/unreliable narration (Think something like Mr. Robot). I'm coming to understand writing like that is very hard to pull off and not for newbies like myself.

The good news is the meta first-person memory stone bits wrap up after Pinkie, so hopefully the pacing will feel more even after that and others might enjoy it more.

I hope you have a wonderful holiday season as well!

Oh River will definitely be included in some fun later on so we'll see... :raritywink:

Got part I up for Pinkie, but having some trouble finishing part II. I'm going to delay it till after the holidays since I have a lot on my plate right now. Thanks for reading everyone and have a wonderful holiday weekend next week!

I'm calling it. Note the time of death as 12/30/2020 12:21 PST.

It's become clear not only did I bite off more than I can chew trying to write a compelling world + a clop story, but I've also discovered by chance that the twist/ending I was building towards was something that has been done several times before and handled much better.

The lack of interest plus the lack of time means I will likely just go back to lurking for now.

Not sure if cancelled stories can be resumed later, but maybe I'll come back to it if I get to start working from home again. Otherwise thank you everyone for reading and for leaving comments and feedback!

Aren't spreadsheets and graphs her kink?
I mean she really gets into it. :rainbowwild:
