    I'm Back

    Just posting this to let everyone know I'm not dead. After spending most of my winter break sick with the flu, I was lucky enough for it to turn into bronchitis and then pneumonia. Joy. Well I'm back on my feet and the new school term has started. More joy. Now if you'll excuse me, I have some catching up to do... No spoilers please.

    Can Anyone Suggest a Good Dark Anime?

    My brother wants a new anime for Christmas, but I don't like the same stuff he does. While I like light and funny, he likes dark and heavy. I'm looking for something with deep themes, strong characters, and complex stories. He's still only 15, so no excessive gore and absolutely no ecchi. Anyone have any suggestions?

    Frozen

    The new Disney movies is awesome. The art is beautiful and the characters are compelling. Even the comic relief character was amusing instead of obnoxious. The formula is new. There's no true villain. Also the songs are amazing. Just listen, this chick has a serious set of pipes.

Seriously? · 2:54pm Feb 26th, 2013

I update "The Longest Journey: Equestrian Edition" twice and all I get for it is 20 views, no comments, and a down vote? I do love to write, but at times like this I wonder why I even bother... I'm going on hiatus for a while until I sort this out.

Hmm... as other said, I think the problem is that it only have the other tag. It doesn't seem to be able to bring much attention or to fall under one of the common brony interests.

Perhaps you could try making some more publicity for it? :twilightsmile:

Well, yeah. Welcome to writing in general, where nobody recognizes your effort. I will confess I've yet to get to your story myself, though. I can barely find time to get in an Asylum chapter per week, let alone writing my own stuff (my poor readers...:fluttershysad:). Anyways, you write well—people in this community value that so just keep trying and you'll hit a lucky break eventually. Other than that, I think the key is to write because you enjoy it, rather than for recognition. In all reality, even a successful author's fame is relatively shallow and short lived.

Admittedly I haven't looked at it myself, although that's due to the fact that I am not familiar with the with the series being crossed over. Regardless, I'd say from what I've seen of your other works that the problem is not your writing, what I've read has been pretty good. It may be a good idea to follow the advice of 867312 and try to find ways to increase publicity and awareness.

Dammit. This is one of my favorite stories to edit. Let me know when you're writing again.
