Welcome to Struggling Authors. Here, if you feel as though your stories are not being recognized for all that they are, if you want to receive constructive criticism and input, if you are an editor and proofreader and are looking for things to preview, or if you just want to hang around and read some pretty great stuff, then join us here at Struggling Authors. Everyone and everything is welcome here.
Regarding the forum and posting threads, tread softly on that. I'm fine with threads but take it easy on posting new threads so that the forum doesn't flood. I'll monitor the forum and delete threads that aren't getting any attention. Other than that, I don't have any problems.
I hope you enjoy the stay.

Mare Do Well: As The Sky Falls by ShadeJak
[Adventure]
Set after Wonderbolts Academy but before Magical Mystery Cure. Rainbow Dash still remembers the Mare Do Well incident that taught her an important lesson: Real heroes don't brag. However, her sense of loyalty compels her to be the hero for ponies in need again, and with a trip to Cloudsdale just around the corner for her, Rainbow sees an opportunity for a fresh start in heroics as the very symbol of heroism who had taught her grace and humility. She couldn't have picked a better time, however, as a new enemy arrives in Cloudsdale that will pose a threat bigger then she could have imagined!

So, I'm writing my first Chrysalis story, and I can't seem to get beyond 500 words or so for my first chapter, as I don't want to publish two chapters at once.
It's about the cast being a literal cast of characters, but C is tired of Changelings being given the short end of the stick, so she and her family are trying to escape the embodiment of Hasbro and bring along as many creatures as possible.
Hey, so I have this next gen fic that I started and am working on in my free time, so far I've gotten a couple likes and a couple comments on, like, one chapter that say that it's going good so far without any real insight on what was good about it and things that I could improve. I'm looking for constructive criticism, and especially on more than one chapter if that's alright. Any advice and insight would be much appreciated :D —Frosted Sketch( AKA Sketchy, AKA The Hopes'nDreamsVerse )

Hello! So I wrote a story (Go figure) and published it, and not a lot of people liked it (Literally, not the website feature). So I need help to find out what I did wrong, because the most I've gotten is 4 dislikes, and that ain't telling me that much. Any criticism, even overtly negative, is appreciated. It's my first big story and I just need an answer why so many found it so bad.
Have a new story if anyone's interested.

Fluttershy discovers a creepy horror within the Everfree, and promptly decides to adopt it...I've just started publishing my first story since my return from a two year hiatus, I'd love for some feedback on it!
After being trapped underground from a calamity no one knows much about, most of the ponies have lost their hope and wanderlust. My story is about a mare who finds herself starstruck with the stories of the past and leaves the safety of her home and into the volatile underground and even worse surface hoping to find some answers. Though more than she knows is awaiting her in the metros.

Beneath the corpse of Equestria lies the still beating heart of its people. Much has been lost to time & mystery, but the ambition & wanderlust compels a young mare to leave her home & venture into the desolation to try & heal the scars of the past.Hello! Ive got bunch of ideas for fics (most of which were inspred by other fics, comics, etc)
but I havnt written anything in years.... and anyting good in... probably over decade ago.
My main issue is I can think out specific scenes, but cant connect them together.
Quick question: should stories be added to both the applicable genre and the story length folders? They clearly overlap.
Hello!
I am currently working on a Sunset Shimmer x Adagio Dazzle story, but I honestly am not very good at writing stories that aren’t x readers. Anyone interested in helping me and maybe providing feedback?
Hey guys just to let you know that my story ''A Pegasus Promise'' is finally complete. It's been one year in the making and I think my writing got better with time.
It would mean the world to me if you gave it a try and maybe a like (hopefully). :D

Hey I've been on the site for about a month and I've hit a bit of a snag I'm trying to build up to the ark of my story and I'm looking for feedback and critical thinking that can give me ideas tmof how the story might go that im over looking my story is Rambo Reborn and id love to hear what you guys and gals think of the story https://www.fimfiction.net/story/460474/rambo-reborn
I'm new here. Haven't been writing all that much, but I've had practice here and there. I've been told by some that the writing of my story is good, but nobody has seen it at all. Only one commenter (and a troll). Am I doing something wrong? Is it just luck-based to get people to see your stories? Does my long description need work? Do I have to wait until the story is completely finished for people to see it? (It will be half way over by next's weeks upload.) I'd like to solve my issue, but I'm still extremely new to everything here. Can anyone help me and be like a guide?
