Is an author not entitled to some appreciation for his work? "No," says the troll," it should be made fun of and condemned just for the lulz." 'No," says the critic, " it should be analysed and criticized for every little error." "No," says the group member, " it should conform to the nature of the group's title and be little or nothing else." Well I reject these notions and say that no writer should be unjustly flamed or overly criticized or have to conform merely to be a part of a group. So for those who share in my belief whether you be a clopfic writer, have an idea for an Equestrian war story and wish to share because you lack the skill momentarliy to handle it yourself, or if you are one who feels that there is no group to which you can truly belong then I welcome you to this place of sanctuary where you need not fear the critic or the troll or the conformist groupie. Feel free to bring links to things you have posted before or copy and paste them to new thread in the group forum but remember my bronies and pegisister this is a safe place so please be kind in every post and polite with any criticism for only by learning to understand and tolerate the radicals amongst us can we grow stronger and flourish.
