Seriously guys, thanks for all the likes and positive feedback. I never thought The One Pony You Never Prank would be this popular, especially after only one chapter. It's actually kinda weird seeing a story I wrote in the feature box. Consider this a thank you to all the people who read it, liked it, commented, favourtied, are now watching me, etc. I'd thank you all individually, but I don't feel like spending a month doing that lol.
And as for John Perry's pretty much negative review of the story in his feature box reviews, that's his opinion and I will respect it. He didn't like it, gave reasons why and it's my job to improve.
I will note that the actual reason that this got "so popular" is that you started a story off with a premise people want to read. Like many similar stories that hit the feature box, it isn't actually the first chapter which made people upvote and favorite it, but the idea of the story it is starting off.
I figured this out after the same thing happened to me, and after quite a bit of observation of the featured story box.

Pretty much this. I don't usually favorite stories that haven't gotten past setting their premise up, since it's too early to make any judgement on the story's quality and it means only following a story on the hope that it turns out good. "The REAL List" tickled my funny bone in a good way though, so best of luck to you, author #17,000 that's had the dubious honor of the featured box.

Yeah that actually makes sense. Wish I knew more things people want to read.
of course now you have to make something that lives up to the expectations
Good luck with that

You read my mind lol. I'm already stressing out.
