You're new here so I will try and be nice.

Writing stories about your OC who is friends with the Mane 6 and shares your name is a magnet for downvotes.

Rewriting the Mane 6 with different personalities is magnet for downvotes, it's also called having characters be OOC.

Start small, a simple Slice of Life fic before you rewrite the pilot of the show.

6856324 Although you make a good point I have to say that it wasn't my intention to get popular or anything. I know my writing isn't the best and I know the idea is overdone and people are going to judge it harshly but if they choose to judge because I changed their favourite character than that is up to them. I wouldn't put this on the internet if I wasn't expecting some criticism. The idea is that it starts using the show as a strong base and then it changes into its own story as time goes on and it does change rather dramatically at the end. So people can choose to stick around or just leave it how they wish. I'm OK with it :3
I also wanted to say that the avatar being the same as the character in the story wasn't meant to be some lame idea to get views or something. I honestly just randomly pick one of my characters from my fanfictions to use as a persona on various websites so I can easily remember it. Although, I do understand how that could be seen as a bit attention grabbing or something. It shows the character though on my avatar and it helps for people to remember me if they wish to keep up with my story and so it is useful in that way.
So all in all, this is a longwinded way of saying thank you for your comment and I appreciate it but I honestly don't mind what people say, its gonna be what its gonna be :3
