There is too much clop... · 8:54pm Jun 12th, 2017
...to be angry at on this site.
I am exhausted from the rage to the point I need a nap. How am I supposed to get worked up into a fine lather that I can then rinse by writing stress reducing erotica...if it just flash boils me down to nothing without even getting past the description?
I can't even read the actual drivel that attempts to pass for fictional horse sex due to the overwhelming pan sear that has been these descriptions lately. This shouldn't be the hard part, folks! The description is for your hook, it is to draw people in and get them wanting to take a chance on your story! It is not a place for mountains of text with dialogue giving the whole thing away.
This is not Hollywood. Stop putting "the best" parts of your fic in the fucking the trailer.
Which goes for all of you authors out there, not just the cloppy ones. Stop taking the piss out of me before my day can even really begin.
As always, stay classy.

-snickers- Okay, I'll get back into writing my sucky clop again, with the sauciest bits in the description
Though it is nice not to be surprised by some things

Granted. That's what the spoiler tag is for, what content warnings are meant for. I don't mean that stuff. I mean giving it all away, revealing your twist or your gimmick or you best joke is not a good way to get an audience to read what you have thereby rendered as near pointless filler.

hush you
So tempted to write a non-clop clop story to perplexulate people.
"So, how did you like it?" Twilight Sparkle's eager face was far too close for Rarity's comfort, particularly after having only read the first chapter of her new story. Her particularly specific story, written with the greatest attention to detail and research, which was one thing Rarity was determined not to think about.
Oh, drat. Now I can't get that mental image out of my mind.
"It seems," started Rarity in an effort to restart her brain, "quite seriously written. And with quite an advanced vocabulary. For example, what is this word here?"
Rarity pointed. Twilight explained. Rarity decided at that point not to ask for any more dictionary definitions of the remaining words she had skipped over.
"It was... good," she said instead. "Although I can't help but wonder why you chose to follow the... act to the fertilization and implantation. Or just why the mare in this case can feel the actual fertilized egg attach to the inside of her uterus. If that were actually the case, there would be a lot less doubt about the nature of fertility, and the sale of pregnancy tests would be almost nil."

Do ett.

Oh, that stuff. Yeah, that does take all the fun out!
No, seriously though, can we please stop putting some of the major story beats in the description/trailer?
It seriously detracts from the work if I can figure out most of the plot from 4 minutes/paragraphs.
Was so mad at Logan for this.
Now I'm just at the point of wondering what clop fics you've seen that take the fun out. (side note, I don't read nearly as much clop as one would think I do on this site...)
