What's your native language, Fawfulese?

The HiE genre of ponyfics has gotten past the point of marketing a story as a dark twist on the generic formula. Don't write a dark HiE as an attempt at breaking new ground when the very same ground that you're trying to break has been treaded a hundred times over.

Also, jesus fuck, that first sentence:

Leafy trees didn’t let pass the sunlight, only a lucky few could touch the grass, or in this case, a teenager called Mike, of sixteen years old, black hair contrasting with white skin, average height and light blue eyes, who lay unconscious in the ground.

There are at least a dozen things wrong with this sentence, but the one thing I want to point out is that you don't have to give a physical description of your MC, least of all in such a bland way. Like, okay, here's an example of a good character description via Slaughterhouse Five:

"He was a funny-looking child who became a funny-looking youth — tall and weak, and shaped like a bottle of Coca-Cola."

I don't need to know what his hair and skin color are. As a reader, I don't need an author to tell me how to envision their characters unless those features play a major role in their story. I just need something to get a feel for the character. What does the color of his hair tell me? Fuck all.
