What's wrong with these stories? 
I would like to know so I can improve instead of questioning my abilities 
I just want to understand why you all keep disliking these stories..... I know your all accustomed to your own opinions, but some advice on how to improve it would be nice and helpful for me.... Instaed of feeling like I did something wrong....

You have done nothing wrong.
Not many people leave comments either.

Of course they don't
I just hoped that they would tell me how to improve them instead of me questioning it every night 
I haven't actually read either of those stories, but I think part of the problem is they're not really being presented in a way that catches people's attention so let me offer a couple of suggestions:
1. Cover art:
If possible find some pictures you could use as cover art. People say a picture if worth a thousand words, and a picture can often spark a person's curiosity and prompt them to read the story's description.
2. Story description:
The story description has to "hook your fish." You have to sum up in a few quick words what your story is about, so readers can decide if it sounds interesting enough to read. This can be a bit tricky to do, but don't get discouraged. One way to do this, at least one that helps me, is to try describing your story's plot in only about one or two sentences.
For example, here's a one sentence description of my story The Draconequus with the Dragon Tattoo: Fluttershy and Discord develop a relationship while trying to solve Applejack's mysterious disappearance.
See if you can sum up your stories' plots in a similar manner and try to build their descriptions from there.
3. Putting your story in various story groups:
This one can really make a big difference in people finding and reading your story. Considering how often stories get posted and updated here, it's very easy to get lost in the slush pile but if you put your stories in the correct group folders (say a Fluttercord group if it's a Fluttercord story) people interested in reading that type of story will likely check for it there.
I know writing can sometimes be discouraging, but don't give up, and let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you very much for your advice
Coverart is something I did try, but it wouldn't upload it when I tried 
The short story description ill defiantly try, but the groups are going to be hard because two of them are OC stories 
Again, thank you so much for the advice 
By the way, love your story, very interesting 
3764488 No problem. Happy to help a fellow writer.
Oh, and regarding OC groups, here's links to a couple of them:
OCFics
The OC Fanfiction Library
Meet the OC's
The OC Corner
3764488 Oh, and glad to hear you liked my story. Though out of curiosity do you mean the first one, the second one, or both together?
3765078
Thank you for the links, I will certainly check them out
I loved them both! A wonderful read if I do say so myself 
3763421 ( I didn't see this until now) Yeah, it drives me crazy too. I never know where I stand until I have someone unfavourite what I'm writing.
3773883
Exactly
So, how have you been?
3773889 I've been half and half. I've finally started my Fairytale fluttercord story.
3773938

I've been good by the way, finally got two more chapters added to The Roses Curse, and working on the 4th 
3774040 Id say its doing well, though until my next chspter i think its at a standstill. I was eondering about those PMs.
That's pretty weird.
I'm glad to hear your stories are going so well!
3774054
Yeah it is good to actually have your mind working creatively again
I'll look into fixing the pm problem and your stories are great and this one is wonderful so far 
I'm sure you'll come up with something
3774069 There is no greater joy than the imagination, and thank you.
Well, I'll catch ya later! I do hope you can figure the whole PM matter out.
3774085
