Five years in FiM fiction

So… this account has turned 5 years old today, being created on wednesday 19th of july 2017. 

I’ll be honest, this account was the result of my reinterest in Friendship is Magic, as I hadn't followed the show since the half-season hiatus of season 5 all the way back in 2015. The account first started to show my support to the fanfic “A New World, a New Way ” and wait for a new chapter. If you go to my favourites you can see that it was the first fic I added to my library, beating the famous My Little Dashie. The first fic I even knew of, and the one that opened my eyes to the world of fanfiction all the way back in 2012.

After that, seeing as I had some “experience” writing in english on the World of Tanks Blitz forum -I say “experience as to be honest, it was god damn awful-. I decided to take a crack at writing my thoughts on the episodes of season 7. Starting the “review” with a joke before going into what I thought. As you can see I ended up dropping the idea quite soon, and only 2 of the 3 blogs I wrote remain, and only the starting joke of those 2 as to be honest, my thoughts were quite horrible to read. The growing pains of learning to write in a foren language I suppose.

Finally, in the second half of 2018. Now in university and using a crappy 10 year old notebook laptop, and without access to the WoT Blitz forum as my university had blocked access to any webpage with the .game domain on it. I decided to take a crack at writing a fic with a pairing I never saw much of Celestia X Arceus. Starting that way my first fanfic in english: “A Love Beyond Worlds”. 

The rest is pretty much history. I'm improving my writing skills, and I have had a lot of ideas for fics beyond the MLP FiM fandom, though most of them still remain on the inker. I even started using Discord to chill and chat with other authors or just people online.

As you can probably tell, this blog is not some grand celebration of a milestone. It is an important date for sure. However, I feel as if the day the first chapter of “A Love Beyond Worlds” was published is the day this profile was truly born. Or when I begang to leave comments in fics I love.

To be honest, I sort of regret not starting to write or even make an account soner, as I had more freetime back then. But then again, my writing would have probably been even worse when I started on the WoT Blitz forums.

Whatever the case might be, I have enjoyed this past 5 years. The community here on FiM Fiction has been nothing but welcoming and positive. And I honestly can’t wait to spend more time reading the amazing (or crazy and wacky) fics that are shared here.

Take care, and have a wonderful time :)
