[4/6/2014] Okay, this is getting ridiculous · 8:17am Apr 6th, 2014
On my stories, the ones that did not have dislikes before, now have dislikes, not moments after I post ONE of my older stories to a new group. It's as if vultures linger around looking for ways to remove the authors they don't agree with, simply so that they cannot get a shot at writing a story that can be far greater than anything else.
For instance: Secrets of the Zone and Future Tactics. NEITHER of those had dislikes. I submitted "Acheron, Meet Equestria" to Plan 9 (Mostly because the story's been sitting around for a while, and I admit the story was not that great.). Suddenly, they've got dislikes. It's as if Plan 9 from Equestria is a haven of vultures that descends upon ALL stories of an author, not just simply the story that was submitted, just to dislike because it's their hobby, to bring the "downvote brigade" down on authors, to destroy those who work harder than they do.
I'm currently in college, and right now, very, very sick. FIMFiction is about the one place I can actually pay any coherent attention to. (I hate life sometimes, when it decides that I need to be sick for no apparent reason.)
I would like to at least have people comment on my stories instead of immediately downvoting them. Leaving a comment is the best way an author can improve. Simply downvoting a story does not, in any way, benefit the author. An author requires criticism, CONSTRUCTIVE criticism, in order to advance their writing.
I hope I am not the lone wolf who saw all of this happening.
Well, i'd just like to say that submiting it to plan 9 was a very bad idea. Secondly you'll find that the majority of the main plan 9'rs tend to leave comments woth downvotes. Usually along the lines of 'This is shit because your alicorn sucks' or a 'Nope' gif.
What i'm trying to say is that stuff like this happens, you should expect downvotes on everything.
1985382 Adequate explanation, but they don't even leave a comment.

That's the point. If there are no comments then it's not people like Moviemaster, scootareader, umachan etc.
