My "Ascension" story · 9:57pm Jul 18th, 2021
It is kind of ironic that I am writing this since I've always disliked reading stories about original characters. To me, there was no point in reading fanfiction if it wasn't for the characters we all know and love. It was even worse when the story was about an alicorn OC (because I expect them to be mary sues, even if I'm sure there are good stories with good alicorn OCs.)
I think I understand now what people like about writing those kind of fics though. I can't speak for everyone, but I think exploring new ideas with new characters is interesting. To show another aspect of a world we are already familiar with.
