Story Retrospective Part Six! · 7:05am Jun 21st, 2019
You know the drill. Looking back on me old stories to decide what goes in the anthology I should have been formatting a month ago. Lol oops. Anywayssss
Oh snap, the shitposts are starting to come in
side Rainbow Dashfast and hard. What the fuck do I do with this? The odds that I'll publish at least one short story within it? 8/10. The odds I'll publish more than half the stories here? 2/10Ahh, a classic Super Trampoline comedy: Super long title, super short story. But it was a hit! Having it a sequel to my (now second) most popular story probably helped. Anyway, regardless of whether this is good or bad, it definitely belongs in the collection. 10/10

Another story that got me in trouble with the mods, not because of the content, but because apparently you're only allowed to publish complete choose your own adventure stories. So I had to really dial down that aspect of this sophomoric, not particularly clever deconstruction of humans in equestria where everypony's horny stories. I really should finish it; it has its moments. But it's rated mature, so for our purposes right now, 0/10
Critics are divided, but I think this is one of my best random stories. Yes, it's random as heck, but all the elements are connected by fridge logic and chekov's brick jokes. Definitely including this one 10/10
Alas, lightning couldn't strike the same place twice, or whatever the idiom is. This story still isn't finished. I should fix that. But as far as sequels go, it's vastly inferior to the original. 0/10.
Oh hey, yet another one of my stories that THE MAN (Meeester) made me modify. But in book form, I can print this in ALL CAPS GOODNESS! 9/10, if only to stick it to the man.
Named after the mature comedy-turned tragic character deconstruction that first made me realize how mentally fucked up Shining Armor and Cadance would have been after the Chrysalis affair, not much happens in this story, but perhaps because of that, it remains one of my highest rated ones? I guess I should include it then? 7/10?
God, I was still fucking trying to run a Patreon at this point. I really gotta go back and remove those patreon thank yous, considering it's been 4 years since I've pushed a pledge thing through and no one even patronizes me anymore. I really don't know what I was thinking. Anyway, about all I remember about this is it being surreal. But noteworthy? Not really. 3/10
This was a time period when Meeester and the other mods were reaaally crimping my creative style. I wrote this one to celebrate the new tags. I think I'd like to include it as the nice variety pack that it is. 8/10
At this point the shitfics are losing their comedy aspects and increasingly being random pieces of crap. This random piece of crap I haven't even bothered to finish. Oh, and at the time there was a weird bug where if you edited the story on mobile, it would change the long description to your user name. Oops. 0/10
I love Pinkie Pie as much as and probably more than the next guy, but do I really need this story (which AGAIN had meeester riding my ass for having an overly-long-title, which wasn't even that long) in the collection? I dunno, I'll reread it I guess. 5/10
Remember when Flurry Heart was relevant? Very Early 2016 remembers. Sadly, one of my last random comedies where the comedy comes first and the random comes second. Was a minor hit. I should probably include it. 9/10
So hey, I have a lot of stories, eh? And according to RBDash47's survey everypony and their mother filled out, a few of you actually would like to own them in print form. How bizarre! Anyway, he also reminding me that I have about 2 weeks to get said book off to the printers. Fuck. Next week is going to be hell, and I'm going to be out of ADHD meds. Because I still can't get myself to finish refiling my taxes so that I can finish applying to MediCal and get insurance again so I can afford to see the psychiatrist so I can afford to refill my meds. Oops. HAHAHA I'm fucked.
Number 2 is your magnum opus (so far).
A Super Trampoline story with zero downvotes. :O Amazing.

Right? I have 11 stories with only one downvote, but that remains the sole unsoiled story.
