6611390 Thanks!

I don't think my being bisexual helps me much either -- got a little burst of downvotes when I posted the M/F/F chapter. But I love both the mares, and the pony-bears!

Oh well. I've gotten a lot of positive feedback, too, though! I'll just keep holding my finger over the downvotes when I check the stats. :D

I can not wait to readeth this.

If your name reflects your lifestyle, then it is good to meet a brother in arms.

6611522 Join the club, brother.

You deserve a lot more in terms of upvotes than you're getting.

6611524

Hmmm. No stories. I've made a note to write a rootbeer-based fic at some point in the future. ;D

6611561

I sure think so. ^.^ Thank you!!!

6611576 I will make a folder just for that.

little burst of downvotes when I posted the M/F/F chapter

Can't accept the fact that Big Mac still gets all the mares. Bias? What bias...

I'm not usually one for clop but the drama in this fic is great. Take all of my up votes

I still don't get why this is getting down voted. Like, beyond it being a story about two fellers slapping their dangly bits together, there's nothing really 'wrong' with it; the way you do first person narrative never really makes Mac seem 'Edgy' or 'Whiney' like a lot of stories tend to do. He's different than how people normally write him, but, like, good different.

I mean, they call him the Mac for a reason, right? :D

6612125

Thank you!

6612125

I am all about the drama.

6612125

Tasty, tasty upvotes!

Edgy or whiny are two things I cannot imagine Mac being.

He and Fluttershy are the two characters I identify most with. Though maybe if Marble ever gets some development it'll be her, too. Anyway, so I tend to be self-inserty about the way I write them: quiet, thoughtful, repressed, pervy, insecure.

Did I not say thank you for this? Thank you!

Wow, I am in love with this story. I think it's getting down voted unfairly because A) bronies tend to hate first person fic and B) they aren't ready for Mac to be an actual mans man. You make him very "human" and his thought process of denial about himself feels very real.

Also I LOVE your portrayal of Fluttershy. She got pissed and basically forced Macs family to give up a large portion of their money making potential for some stupid bats with no consideration to how much profit the Acres lost.

I normally won't read a story that isn't finished, because that cliffhanger feeling is a thing that bugs me.

That said, I read this anyway. Mommy's going to demand that you keep going until she's had her fill. ;>

6615526

Wait, Bronies don't like FIRST PERSON NARRATIVES? That's like hating flat-head screwdrivers!

RE: Fluttershy. Yes. Also, Scare Master.

As a person with moderate-to-severe anxiety, I know that anxiety leads to a lot of repression and anger, and anger leads to the dark side. But is it weird that I love her even more because she's evil?

Anyway, thank you so much! Means a lot, as always.

6615709

Yes, Mommy. ^.^

Also, I need to write a story where someone actually lets Flutters keep going with the Mommy thing...

I am loving your portrayal of each and every character, man. Don't you pay any mind to the blockheads votebombing this, and keep up the good work!

I'm sure I'll have more coherent thoughts to relay when I'm good and conscious, but by Luna's teats this is amazing. Liked, watched, followed.

Mmm, Luna's teats...

Try and set yourself a mental policy to ignore about 30-40% of the downvotes that are not accompanied by comments explaining WHY the person downvoted. I've written under other monikers on other sites and believe that a simple like/dislike rating system is an easily-manipulable and otherwise wholly useless method of actually determining likes and dislikes unless the reader is willing to include comments as to WHY they disliked it.

To be fair, this was pretty rough when I put it up. But I've done several rolling rewrites, found an awesome editor, drew cute new cover art, and it's still getting downvotes! I don't get it.

But, I also care way more about all the positive feedback I've gotten than the downvotes. I DO wish people would comment instead of just downvoting, though. If they had valid concerns, I could address them!

I loved the first person narrative! It's well written for a clop story! So, is Big Mac's thing with Cheerilee over, or are we going to be seeing her in later chapters?

PS Edit was to add a forgotten emote.

I could feel the goofy-assed grin on my face. Fluttershy pranced in a circle and smirked at you.

OH SHIT SHE SAW ME-

'The yellow one is evil.' I laughed for a while at that, so good
