"All right! I finally created an account here after lurking for six months! Time to finally save the stories I like to a favorites folder!"
"I wonder if this has been done before, but hear me out: my OC enters the lives of the Mane Six..."
"How do I join groups again? Is there a limit? Hmm. In that case, I guess I'll join every promotion group."
"Gah, what are these letters in brackets? Why isn't it the way in Docs or Word?"
"This story is definitely going down in the history of the fandom. Now if only people would read it..."
"Hey! Remember to like, comment, and save to folders! Reviews would be nice!... Please?"
"Editor? Psssht, I write this stuff myself, I edit by myself, I know what I'm doing! Besides, I don't want to beg for an editor..."
*reposts in the same group multiple times*
"I'll follow you if you follow me!"
"I know! I'll create an 'All about me' blog!"
"Ooh! A red number in the notifications! Please don't let it be an add to a library... *gasp* A comment!"
"If random doesn't equal funny, why does it succeed so often here on the site? Nobody takes long adventure fics seriously anymore..."
"Well, I know a better cover pic will attract more readers, but I don't know how to draw and I don't have enough money to commission one."
"It's just so hard seeing others with a similar idea get so much attention! Sometimes I wonder if my work is even good enough..."
"Ugh, what is that? What was I thinking in those earlier chapters? I definitely needed an editor."
"If I wanted to cause my audience pain, would killing off Fluttershy or Rainbow Dash make a better reaction?"
"And then, the characters have the sexy sex, and everyone cheers!"
"This is too much effort for too little reward! I kinda don't want to do this anymore... But I have to press on... for the sake of my readers! I can't let them down!"
"I wonder, if I were to crosspost this on Archive Of Our Own, would I get better reception?"
"Oh, so they write a bunch of pony porn, and everyone reads that. But I write a well-constructed story, my dream plan, and I get seven hundred people reading the first chapter, and twenty that continued reading it?"
100% accuracy right here.
Too true. Way too true.
Eh voi? *head tilts*
I got lucky with my cover pic.

My confused noises. hehe.
My bad.
QFT
I fell into several of these myself.
I honestly don't care if my stuff gets rewarded or not, I just write what I feel like, when the moment hits me.
That's why my update schedule is a complete mess, that's what I would say, if it ever existed in the first place.
But this was funny Brady, enjoyed reading through your personal brand of snark.
This is so accurate that it legitimately hurts.
