    I'm still here

    It's been a year since I've written anything. But being quarantined has given me some free time. I'm sure most of my followers have left but in case you're also still here a few questions.

    If I gave up any of my unfinished stories for adoption would you want one?

    If I wrote another chapter of something would you read it?

    Its been awhile and I'm sorry this isn't an update

    I know i haven't been active in a long while, but one thing I appreciate about this community is that it's a safe anonymous space and i have a small situation I'd like y'all's take on.

    Promises now has an audio version

    Promises was my first real story on here, it garnered enough support to let me know my writing had a plae on this website. It's not perfect but I'm still proud of it.

    Overwatch

    Obvious disclosure, this blog has nothing to do with MLP. It’s not a story so it doesn’t violate site rules and it’s something I’ve felt like writing and y’all are my audience for my creative output. If  you don’t like Overwatch and/or don’t care what I have to say move along, I’ll try to have a new chapter of something soon.

    I love Overwatch.

    Signal boosting some life advice

    There's a blog going around about an incident that occurred at a convention. I'm not of the convention going community so I have no voice in this. It's up to convention goers to decide what type of community they are and how to get there.

Re-tag? · 12:59am Dec 1st, 2015

I started writing this under the old tag system. I don't put too much stock in tags but some people do. So I'll ask you all: Are there any of the new tags you think I should apply to the story?

I think Drama would fit in there.

3583077 It might fit. The thing is while Scootaloo is kind of "emo" in it, I wouldn't say she's trying to cause drama. There is drama though.

Drama may aptly fit.

I recommend not only making sure your tags on this story are up to date and complete, but that you go back and consider the new tags for all of your work. The reason is simple: searching. Many people use their favorite genres when searching for stories using the site's search function. Making sure your stories have all the appropriate tags helps more people to find them.

3583158 Seconded. I use tags extensively when I'm looking for new content.

As for the tags on the current story, I think it might actually make sense to replace the Sad tag with the Drama tag. I don't feel that this is a particularly sad story, as there's a lot of optimism in it. I often skip stories with the sad tag, and I'd be surprised if I was alone in that.

Is there a Scootadoption tag yet? If not, why not?

I agree with the sad to be replaced with drama. I also look at the tags when determining whether or not to read a paticular story. I avoid the Tragic tagged stories like the plague. I really do not like being pissed off and sad for a couple of days after reading a well written story but that has a tragic end.

As others say, I would either replace the Sad tag with Drama, or have both. They really aren't interchangable, as happy stories can also be dramas; a story that focuses on the interactions and relationships between characters and on their own stories fits the Drama tag.

Not a big fan of the new system honestly. Too many choices. The old one was short sweet and to the point. The new ones feel like pading more than anything else.

Gonna have to repeat what everyone else has said: Drama.

aye drama and the daws
