I found this blog post actually pretty interesting to read. Check it out.

Okay, I'm just wondering here but why can't we check on who's downvoted or upvoted our stories, comments or forum posts. Probably a stupid question, but I am just curious about this.

So what you people are telling me is that I can't write anything good by myself. I have a story in the planning stages that I want to release in January, but I don't know if I wanna post it here anymore. Keep in mind I HAVEN'T WRITTEN IT YET. You guys are making me reconsider even writing it.

Again, someone's gone and defaced a chunk of my stories in a row. Coward. Unfortunately there's no defense against it on this site, rendering ratings useless to smaller creators. It's a rich-get-richer community here.

And so, this chapter of my life is finally fucking finished. It was a really shit journey the entire way... took me a year plus just t'fuckin' complete it. Can't say I'm sad to see it over with, bitch was yelling in my ear nonstop forever now just t'git'er'dun.

Hear me out, this has been bugging me for awhile.

Whenever I want to update ⇩ Please Downvote! ⇩ and I don't have any recent notifications about it, the fastest way for me to reach it is to just do a blank story search using the search bar at the top of most Fimfiction pages and then set it to sort by downvotes and search again.

Something that's bugged me for literally forever is the assessment by a lot of people that 'it's just haters'. I can count thousands of instances where I've seen authors or artists (or my sister) say that the only reason their story isn't getting a positive reception is because people hate them or their work, regardless of their quality. Well, time for me to tackle why that isn't the case as often as people claim. In fact, I'd wager that it isn't even a .1% occurrence

I almost want to say "I'm sorry" for this.

My first story on fim fiction got two downvotes since the fist chapter went up.
So far peeps have been book marking it so I guess the writing wasn't that bad.

But damn, that bugs me. If you're going to down vote, at least leave a comment telling me why ya did it. I'm just going to assume that they didn't like the ships that are going into the love triangle.

Now that my ragegasm/tantrum has passed, I'd like to consider the notion that being a teenager is somehow worse than being a fully grown adult.
I don't think it's always true, although I am only half informed on that front, being fifteen and all.

Can ask something of folks?

If you need to drop a downvote, please talk to the author? If you don't like the story, if you don't like the direction, even if you don't like the author themselves, please drop a comment or, if you're not feeling too confident, make a private message.

We can only get better if you give us feedback.

And obviously (I mean, considering where we are and the nature of the fandom!), try to do it constructively and politely if possible.

On my user page, I maintain two lists of stories:
Stories of Mine You'll Probably Love
Stories of Mine You'll Probably Hate

Deciding which stories should go in the "Love" list isn't trivial. What makes a story good? I can think of several things:

Enjoyment: a random reader would probably like it
Popularity: the story has a lot of readers

Yesterday I published the first chapter of what I am affectionately nicknaming my Quadruple A Shorts. Like all of my stories most of the chapters are long and obsessively detailed. If you have a problem with that that's fine, however here is what isn't fine.

I think there is someone on fimfiction using an automated down vote system..and probably have something in it that allows them to pick and choose who gets down voted by genre or some other factor.
Why do I think this?

IN WHICH I AM BESET BY DOWNVOTE FAIRIES
Y'all, I did it! After 3 years, I finally wrote a fic with majority downvotes. Problem is this time I wasn't really trying to get all the hate. MAGA hordes have descended to sink my latest work that may be about their god. If you'd be so kind as to visit my fic and give the little green thumb a push, I'd appreciate it. Peace out!

No, you're working on an extreme anal play story while you're supposed to be either sleeping or working on your story-of-actual-literary-merit. The nice thing about writing butt play tho is that, cis-as-fuck tho I may be*, I can write female characters having sex with absolute confidence I know how it feels. Everypony got a butt.

Okay, recently and by recently I mean this morning I've begun to wonder if I made a couple of bad choices with my Kamen Rider Kiva story, chiefly with Fluttershy thought to be a serial killer and the mystery surrounding Kiva and her identity being one of them. I know, this isn't Death Note Equestria or something like that and Kamen Rider nerds will know Kiva is hardly a killer of ponies. Monsters yes, but ponies? No.
