I'm starting to get bored. I see you know, 252 views on my first chapter, and 12 likes, and I think. (That's a good start. Good start.)
Then I see that only one person's bothered to talk to me, and it just dies. Questing's so much more interactive than fanfiction... But I'm not giving up. Hopefully, people start interacting with me and my story, beyond putting it in their 'read later' list.
I've decided to write normally, but edit my chapters later to include a ton more description. At the moment, I've about half finished the first chapter, which has jumped over 1k words from the almost 2k words it originally was.
I'm a long time brony, since 2012 actually. And I've roamed fanfiction sites for over half of those years, reading pony crossovers. I've binged the longest fics and stories in pretty much every fandom I've fallen in love with, from Naruto to Prototype, and KoTOR to MLP:FiM.
