An Exercise in Being Subpar · 7:29pm May 13th, 2018
I’ll be spending the week away from my computer (and my eyes ought to thank me), so I won’t be able to post any stories (a good thing, some might say). I’ll be using the time to come up with story ideas and flesh out the plot of “…The Furthest Stars” and wonder why I’m incapable of writing anything halfway decent.
It was probably a mistake coming up with this account.
Now that I read this, I really want to take a look at your fics fast. Giving up should never be an option, even if your start is rocky and your fics aren't well received.
From a first glance, I can name two reasons why your first two fics haven't received much interest. The first reason is that Tempest Shadow has gotten a lot of fics about her redemption and about how her life continues after the Storm King's defeat since the movie, so it's hard to get such a fic attention still.
The other one is, stories about OC ponies get very little views in most cases, because most readers prefer to read about ponies we see in the show/comics books, rather than fan-made characters. An exception for this is very rare.
None of these reasons have to do with your writing talent, so you shouldn't worry about this too much.
