I deleted Keeping Secrets.
I've been getting too much shit and hate mail for it. I'm too stressed out to deal with this. So there, I hope you're happy. I won't be writing any stories anymore.
Oh and yes, that really is me. I don't care if you think I'm ugly. I don't want to read your mails on your opinion of me, I don't really care, you don't know me, nor will you ever. And for all these other people asking about my username, 'McKenna' is my name. Baxter is my boyfriends last name. I don't see the problem there.
I thought this website was supposed to be about MLP:FiM and sharing something in common, but all I've seen is hate and threats. Sorry I don't match up to your standards.
I'm not reporting anyone because I'm not a bitch.

Well that is a real shame, both removing the story and all those people putting you down because of what you shared with us. I myself liked the direction it was taken in and hoped to read more of it, but if you think this is the best thing to do then that's the way the cookie crumbles.
Right, anyway, I will definitely miss reading Keeping Secrets but that's pretty much life in a nutshell, the things you enjoy sometimes end up as things others abhor, and if the latter outnumbers the former, nobody can have it at all.
And you are anything but ugly, your boyfriend is a very lucky man.
For the love of all that is holy...

The hate mail and the shit is good. That means people care enough about what you write to give you a response! For fuck's sake, that's a good thing. As for all the hate mail, just laugh at it if it doesn't say anything useful. I'm a ass, and I get hate mail all the time. Does that stop me from going out and telling people that they need to improve their stories and shit? Hell, no! You just need to ignore the morons that say, "hey u suck and shudnt rite and stuf bcuz u suk and bla bla bla".
If someone gives you constructive criticism, use it. If someone just says you're a moron...Well, I think we both know which of the two of you is a moron in that case.
Seriously though, you shouldn't just stop writing. The only way you're every going to get better is by writing, and writing your ass off. Write until your fingers bleed, but don't stop.
If you stop, that means nay-saying assholes win, and it means you're never going to get better at it. Giving up just because someone lets you know that you're not the best at something is just like giving up because they told you to.
You know what? Fuck this. I can't accurately describe how to tell you not to give up. So here, have a song (hopefully, it'll be more inspiring than I am):
Oh and yes, that really is me. I don't care if you think I'm ugly. I don't want to read your mails on your opinion of me, I don't really care, you don't know me, nor will you ever.
*shrugs* This coming from a guy you will never meet in real life, but I for one think you look pretty nice. Screw those other bastards, you've got a lucky boyfriend! XD
And for all these other people asking about my username, 'McKenna' is my name. Baxter is my boyfriends last name. I don't see the problem there.
I don't see too much of a problem there either. If anything, it's fucking adorable.
My gripe was that it seemed like it was your actual name, and as I'm sure we both know, giving out your real name on the internet is a dangerous thing to do. If I'm not the only one who's mentioned this, then I'm pretty sure we've all simply been making a mistake, and were concerned for your safety.
If anything, you should be touched by the fact we all care enough to be concerned.
If we weren't worried that you could get hurt, we wouldn't tell you.

Kiddo, this is the internet.
I know for a fact that most of the people here really aren't bad folk, and that I'm one of the assholes who's a real stickler about writing properly, but you can't assume that just because we all love and tolerate the living fuck out of each other that we're going to always be angels. Some people aren't really nice until you get to know them, some people are just trolls.
A lot of it wasn't that people hated you, it's that people didn't like what your story is about. When you get a negative response to your story, they aren't disliking you. They only see the writing, and, like you've said, don't know you.
Hell, I'm pretty sure that if we all knew you in real life, you'd be a perfectly awesome pegasister. But, we don't. All we really know about you is your writing, and that's the only thing we can communicate to you about as a shared ground. Telling you that your writing isn't the best is not a reflection on your character, it's simply our way of saying that you need to improve as a writer.
So, keep on writing, and keep on improving. If you really need a helping hand, have a gander at the groups on this site. A lot of them are meant to help budding writers like yourself.
I'm not a bitch.
I don't think anyone could call you a bitch in good conscience.

I suppose that may be a good thing. Just work especially hard on improving if you stick with that hunk of junk.
