Totallynotabrony's 'A Dream' Reveiw

The following is a comment I posted on his story, and feel the need to share. I might start reviewing fics, and posting the comments here.

A Dream by totallynotabrony.

I want to make this perfectly clear, these are my thoughts and my feelings, and mine alone. If you disagree with me, that's fine, just don't vilify me for sharing my thoughts with the author.
I have read this story since near its beginning, and have enjoyed reading it, until recently. At first, it was a new-to-me take on the HiE situation, with very well done comedy. It wasn't meant to be taken seriously at all, and I understand this, but I do fell the need to express my thoughts on where the story is right now.
To be honest, I stopped reading this after 'Threes a Crowd', mostly because I just couldn't bring myself to do so. To me this story has become forced, and highly rushed. The author feels a need to produce a chapter every time there is a new episode, and in doing so makes me, as a reader, run at a brisk pace to keep up, often having to stop and re-read when I get lost.
The overarching plot is a blatant line of puzzle pieces that fit any kind of slot presented by the new episodes. This is where the forced part of the story comes in. The author feels the need that there has to be a big finish at the end of each and every season, when all we wanted when we started to read this was cheap humor that was well written.
I do not know if the author even enjoys writing this anymore. At the beginning, it was very apparent that the author was enjoying himself while he wrote the story. Making fun of the childish logic, the plot holes of the show, and anything else we all saw, but his take on it and how his character responded is what we enjoyed.
Now, the story is a cluttered mess of overarching plots, weak foreshadowing, hardly any good jokes, recycled jokes, and a lot of things that just kill this story for me.
I find myself losing interest, and feeling a bit sad, that the stories I have been reading for years now, are all losing that spark that first drew me to them. I find myself dreading updates, wondering which story I love is falling apart now.
Tottalynotabrony, I know you are capable of better, I have told you as much before. I think that you might need to take a moment, step back, and look over your fics. Go back to the beginning of a few, and re-read them. See what you were doing in the beginning, see what you might not realize you are losing. You are losing your enthusiasm.
Anyway, those are my thoughts on the matter. I do not mean to offend. This an overall critique, as such it should be viewed as looking at the story as a whole.
