I originally made this account just to post a comment. Now I rant about ponies and write the occasional fanfic. Emphasis on "occasional."

    Update on Stuff

    First of all, I apologize to anyone that has been disappointed by the fact that I have not uploaded a second chapter to Appledash: How it Would Happen. It feels kind of pompous to type this as if I'm addressing a large audience. I know I'm not really a popular writer on this site, but I am partially writing this for myself, and also, there are probably some people who would have liked to see a

    Update On AppleDash: How It Would Happen

    Hello everyone! I am going to be talking about my plans for AppleDash: How It Would Happen, but first, I would just like to say thank you to all of you kind people who read my story and liked it, favorited it, commented on it, added it to a bookshelf, followed me, whatever. Thank you all. I honestly didn't expect this kind of reception. My story has, as of this moment, 241 views and 15 likes.

    The Orb Is Mai Waifu

    Note: If you haven't seen Ultra Fast Pony up to episode 52, this might not make sense. (but it might still be funny)

    About Appledash: How It Would Happen

    In this post, I'm going to be talking a bit about my thought process during writing this, and why I wrote it the way I did. I'm also going to be talking about where I'm going with the story, because some people (at least two people!:pinkiegasp: I'm so popular :pinkiehappy:) seem to be interested in that. So, if you want to just skip to that, it's one of the last paragraphs.

    Should There Be Gay Characters in MLP?

    In order to teach the ones that need to be taught, you must first be sure that they can hear what you're saying.

    Homosexuality seems to be a pretty big topic nowadays. To answer the question I stated in the title, I do not think there should be any characters in MLP that are confirmed to be gay,

This website is great. You can post your works, people can comment, say what they liked or disliked, what you can improve, all that stuff. You can read other people's stories, and you can comment on them. There's the "Also Liked" and "Related" things where you can see other stories similar to the one you just read. There's the featured thing, where you can find good stories based on what everyone else recommends. There's the groups, where you can find certain kinds of stories, and there's the user page, where you can recommend stories, blog about stuff, and tell a little about yourself. However, the thing I kinda dislike about this website is the tagging system.

I'm not new to fandoms and fanfiction. Before I got into MLP, I was really into Homestuck. And it wasn't just the comic itself that I liked so much; it was the fan-made content as well (it's the same with MLP). So, naturally, I read a lot of fanfiction. And I mean a lot. While I don't read as much Homestuck fanfiction as much anymore, I still remember what it was like trying to find good fanfictions on sites like fanfiction.net. I don't even think there's a tagging system at all (other than what fandom the story is from). But then there was archiveofourown.org. I fell in love with that site's tagging system, because you made the tags yourself. The author tags the story with whatever tags they think the story should be tagged with. And people could just click on a tag, and it would show you all of the stories with that tag. This allows for people to find stories with what they're looking for with ease. They can also search with multiple tags, like this site, except there are so many more tags. One reason I'm so frustrated by the lack of this feature on this website is because of the presence of the groups. As far as I know, you can't search for stories through groups. If you could use groups as tags, that would be great! But you can't. I just really wish that the tagging system here was like archiveofourown's. Or at least that you could use groups as tags when searching. To be honest, I actually would prefer to use archiveofourown to find fanfictions, but most of the pony fanfics are here, and the site does have some good things. I just feel like it could be improved. It would also be great if you could comment on blog posts.

Could someone please point me in the direction of the suggestion box on this website? That would be great.

Until next time,

P.S. How ironic is it that when I posted this, I forgot to add the tags?
