WTF happened? · 8:29pm May 27th, 2013
When I first posted The Four and One Erebi Nights the reception was less than accepting. For a time downvotes were as frequent of upvotes, for a time they even overtook them, and I cheered when they broke even at 7:7. The read count was very poor and while the few comments were quite positive, it seemed like a downer.
I posted it on explicit.ponyfictionarchive.net and it was received okay, two positive reviews, one 5/5 vote. I posted it on SoFurry and the reception was practically enthusiastic. And recently I posted it on Equestria After Dark.
Three out of these seven downvotes got reverted. Currently the story clocks +17 : -4.
WTF happened?
The internet's moods are strange and fickle things. Too much research may end up with you learning more than man(or pony, I guess) was meant to know.
Kinda like studying Pinkie Sense, now that I think about it.
Oh, someone posted the image you used for the cover on Derpibooru, then from there, someone linked it to the story. Then people liked it. So yeah.
