Why I Read · 3:34am Apr 27th, 2019
Hm, why do I read? Well, that's a really good question. However, before I answer that question, I'll have to ask myself another.
Why am I here?
Oh! Now this, this is something I'm curious about. I'm going to start my answer, with a simple "I don't know, or je ne sais quoi." Furthermore, I guess that takes me back to how I found this site. Do you really think I just came home one day and decided I was going to go on FimFiction? Ha, no. What's funny is, is that there's about a million or so on FimFiction, and hardly nobody knows about it.
I didn't know about it, I didn't even know what FIM stood for until recently. I know, weird right? Anywho, I guess I should cut right to the chase (Cheese? Chase? Cake?). I've loved My Little Pony, even back when it wasn't Friendship Is Magic. The old, MLP. It was MLP and the Care Bears. Honestly, I believe I liked Care Bears more, but it's obvious that it wasn't as popular as MLP; as MLP is still going on, and they gave up on Care Bears about three years ago. I didn't like Friendship Is Magic at first, because for real though, I hate remakes. However, I kept watching it, and It grew on me. Then, Equestria Girls came out with their first movie. Then, as of now, I love MLP!
What's weird is, for any show, for any movie, I NEVER like the main character. I don't have anything against them, I do enjoy her/him. Except, she/he is never my favorite. I don't know why, that's just something about me that's super wierd. What happens is, I always fall in love with a character who comes later on. Example: Sunset Shimmer. Although, it's different this time. I'm literally OBSESSED with her. It's like I can never get enough of her story. She's just so perfect, in every way!
So, I kept rewatching the movies and looking at fan art of her online. Then I came across comic strips, and youtube videos, PMV's, and soon FimFiction. I was reading some SciSet comics on DeviantArt, and I really wanted to read more of them. That's when I started to ship them. So anyway, I searched on Google something like 'Sunset Shimmer short stories'. I saw FimFiction a couple of times but never clicked on it. I didn't want a website, I wanted a story with pictures. Then I decided, oh well, and I clicked on it.
I explored it a bit and I was in shock. A WHOLE WEBSITE OF ONLY MLP STORIES? Then I realized a lot of people were more obsessed with MLP then I was for there to be a website with thousands of stories. I read my few first stories, and literally fell in love with the site. Soon, I made my own account so I could make bookshelves. It wasn't until I read, I think, Trust and Responsibility, when I decided to write Loving Doubts.
Why do I read? Why do I write? So, I'm going to be honest. I don't like to write, I don't like to read. Plain and simple.
Except MLP.
Uhm, how? I tried to read a book, I tried to write a short story with regular people, and I can't. It's Impossible. It's like this site is addicting. I don't know why, but I'm pretty sure this is the same situation for a lot of people. Why do I share this?
Because it's funny! Pourquoi suis-je si stupide!? xD
Ha, and that's why I'm where I am today. So, cherish this site. In case it ever shuts down. Also, cherish my stories. I work hard on them, for some odd reason.
That's all folks. <3
Oh my God!!
I honestly can't describe how happy I am to hear that I've helped inspire somebody to write.
Also, I can really relate to the way you talk about only reading and writing pony, though that's started to change a little for me recently. I look forward to seeing what else you write in the future, and I hope you have a wonderful day.

Thank you! That story really did it for me. I thought it was adorable, in every possible way.
You have a great day too.
