And no, it's not clickbait.

Wow! A post about Mykan that is not a critique of his series or a link to an mst or a response post! make a wish people.
No, I still don't like the guy (I blocked him) but one has to give credit where is due.

While he is known for hating giving characters complex personalities because they hold back the plot, he, perhaps unwillingly ,wrote an actual complex character.
Who is this complex character?

READER'S BLOCK!

One of the strange things about fanfiction is that its characters are premade. There is often no need to create original characters, because the show provides so many for authors to utilize. But all characters use the same building blocks. Writing a character in fanfiction is not that different from making characters of your own. For today’s post about writing, I’d like to discuss one of the fundamental building blocks of character: the archetype.

People who want LIKABLE WRITING VS ME (A guy who prefers more REALISTIC WRITING than cliched expectancy)

Mykan's Author Avatars in Friendship is Failure are meant to be seen as martyrs who didn't get what they wanted and have to suffer because of it.

Poor old Sunny Rays...

That was the inspiration behind this chapter. Once my mind altered the lyrics 'Poor old Johnny Ray' from Come On Eileen I knew that was the direction I had to take with Sunny.

...while I'm still surprised that one of my stories appeared on TV Tropes, I did not expect for another one of mine to appear on that site again!

This time, it's my holiday story, Sunset's Wonderful Life back in the year 2019-20. Check it out if anyone's interested:

Thank you so much to whoever made a web page of my story on that site. I'm honored!

Welcome back, writers! Monday is here, and that means it’s time for another installment of Being a Better Writer! And this week? We’ve got an interesting one to talk about.

Now the season is starting to hit its stride! It's rare for us to get more characterization of Princess Celestia, but it's hardly ever unwelcome. Our lives rarely pan out how we desire them to, and given Celestia's status, it's easy to see how her desires for acting never panned out.

Today, I’d like to present a new (possibly recurring) blog series. I was reading a college's literary magazine today. While most of the entries were aggressively mediocre, one particular phrase in one particular story stuck out to me. "I could still make out the tear stains on my mom's letter pages." What better catalyst for discussion than a cliché?

It is often speculated that Twilight Sparkle was Raven's true target instead of Celestia

No, Raven's only true target is Celestia. The thing is... she was growing more and more frustrated with all her failed attempts, and she began to become willing to do anything to get at Celestia; even hurt or kill anyone that attempted to stop her, like Twilight.

Welcome back readers! It’s another Monday and that means it’s time for another installment of Being a Better Writer! We’ve got an interesting (and surprisingly volatile) topic for you today, one that very likely may prove quite useful to you, but first, before we get that, two quick news reminders.

I've been aware of this for over a month now, but I wanted to bring the series finale rewrite to completion before I drew extra attention to it, because I was waiting for it to represent the story in it's finished form. As I mentioned in passing in the epilogue's Author's Notes, somebody out there created a TV Tropes page for The End of an Era to freely edit! I am humbled to see this exists. While it's not the only fan

The following is a list of various elements of fan fiction on this site that I truly no longer have any interest in. While exceptions can be made on a case by case basis, by and large, if your story contains one or more of these, I can guarantee you I will probably not read your story or may abandon reading after the first chapter (or shortly thereafter if said element(s) show up later in the story).

First off, let me say I knew that the title was pretty click-baity, but even I was expecting it to become a Heated fic! I haven't had that little tag on anything I've written since 2014 (If that was even a thing back then. I just remember the fic being on the top of the box for a week). Back then, I also didn't practice thanking every favorite. Let's just say, even though I wrote this fic rather quickly so I'd have some more time to work on Electro Swing, I wasn't quite expecting the response
