Queen Nightmare Moon and her confidante Anonymous are finally together! It would sure be unfortunate if something like a terrorist attack were to blow them apart, both figuratively and literally.
For future reference to all who read this comment: TAKE FUCKING TIME TO COME UP WITH A GOD DAMN NAME FOR YOUR FUCKING HUMAN CHARACTERS BESIDES ANONYMOUS! IT CANT POSSIBLY BE THAT FUCKING DIFFICULT! Thank you.
7402015 Kinda pointless to name the main character in a second person story, that is, unless you want to ruin some of the immersion. I'm not one to belly ache over the little details, so this could just be a problem reserved to the harsher critics in the world.
I'd personally hate to be stuck with a name that I'd find silly, or stupid. So, I'd prefer just to keep the name anon. At least I could just replace it for whatever name I saw fit in my head.
7402015 Anonymous is the name of the character. He is a semi-established representation of a typical 4chan user who lacks any physically distinctive features, aside from his blank green face bearing the disclaimer "No Picture Available" and his trademark charcoal suit. He exists as a sort of "blank slate" that is usually used in greentext stories that any person can plug themselves into for the sake of immersion. The idea is that all users of 4chan are Anonymous, and therefore, all bear the same resemblance to this sort of "default" character.
7402372 Not really sure, unfortunately, people aren't very forthcoming with what they don't like about it.
Is it the 2nd person perspective? Poor style of writing? Uninteresting plot? Bad characters? When people just leave their dislike and go, it provides rather poor feedback.
It can't be the 2nd person perspective, plenty of stories get high ratings with that format. My guess is that it's the content of the story that more squeamish readers don't take well too? regardless, like you said leaving a dislike with no comment for feedback is really unfortunate. I hope none of that dissuades you from continuing the story! As the comments prove there are plenty that really enjoy your writing.
7403511 Well, I was planning on just giving a dislike and leaving, I suppose that you are correct, and that leaving without any feedback doesn't help anyone, so...
Well, the reason why I downvoted it and disliked it, was... well, I don't like the premise. ... That's pretty much it. Nothing against your writing style, or whatever, just one of those stories that for all intents and purposes, you find an interesting title, read the blurb on the back, don't like it and put it back.
7404470 Well, I can't argue that it's any kind of misuse of the like/dislike system because you... well, dislike it. I think it's kind of an unhelpful scale because, while you disliked it simply because you didn't care for the premise, your dislike piled on top of all the others implies that there's something fundamentally wrong with the story (the spelling or grammar is poor, little to no proofreading, etc.) as opposed to the story simply "not clicking" with you.
I know you're literally doing nothing wrong by "disliking" a story you just don't care for, it's just that to me, a dislike actively hurts the rating to tell me that something about this is bad and I did something wrong, and with no feedback, I have no clue what it is.
7404515 I suppose that *might* be true, BUT, the Like/Dislike was meant for that purpose. There are plenty of shipfics/whatever stories that have a 0/0/grey bar and have had a ton of views. (No idea why) and at least you got a response from me, however that much may be worth. Mind you, rating doesn't quite matter, as the more your story is liked, the red will gradually disappear. I'm sure that if you ask for it, or even post it in the critique forum/group you'll definitely get what you're looking for. And then-some.
7403511 Honestly, don't take any of the dislikes to heart. A lot of people on this site are pre-conditioned to auto-dislike stories with certain tags. Human and clop alone likely netted you half of those, with the other half coming from 2nd person and using 'Anonymous' because HURR DURR ALL ANON STORIES ARE BAD BY EXISTING.
Yeah, just general ignorance and -no matter how much I loathe to admit- pettiness.
Seriously though, I'm not gonna read it because I don't like 2nd-person-anon-in-questria-nightmare-moon-clopfic fics really... That should be an actual tag...
Not gonna downvote though because I'm not a petty asshole; I'm just a regular one.
7404622 I'm not, at least. Tia is best pone but Moony is second best pone, so I'm just seeing where this one goes. Is Celestia permanently out of the picture in this one, or just temporarily?
7405317 Sorry to say, but Celestia is going to be gone for awhile.
However, she can submit an appeal in roughly 999 years, 46 weeks, and 2 days, then, pending approval of the reigning monarch, she'll be out on probation in no time.
YES SPIKE ALL THE WATER!!!!
I don't understand these downvotes at all...

I really don't get the downvotes, the writing and the story is very engaging thus far. Very exited to see where it goes!
why it is not in featurebox yet?
Take my likes, and spike the water. The oracle demands it!
7402050 SPIKE IT ALLLLLLL #ORGY

"Does this water taste funny?"

7402015 I have made up two. But I'm not sharing
Nice to see that someone there actually made a sequel of the story that deserves it. It' a rare event.

I chuckled pretty good at this chapter. Can't wait to see what happens with Anon and Twi.
THREESOME!!!!!!!!!!

i like to think that readers that are dedicated to a particular princess will auto vote dislike if their princess is tarnished in some way.
7404619
I'd like to think that people wouldn't actually be that petty.

You know... best pone and all...
Now there's a story I didn't think would see a sequel.
"This isn't Magical Porno Land you know."
.... Wait... that implies that there IS a magical porno land.

The journey to find it would probably require its own epic tale, and I mean the poetry kind of epic.
7405317 Sorry to say, but Celestia is going to be gone for awhile.
However, she can submit an appeal in roughly 999 years, 46 weeks, and 2 days, then, pending approval of the reigning monarch, she'll be out on probation in no time.

its in the badlands, slightly left of the changeling hive
7405860 With all of our mead tinsel and tin. We all set out on a magical adventure guided on a whim.
Not a good poet...
7406131
We could just resurrect Homer...
7406134 Resurrect and then tell him to write a poem. But of course you need to be fluent in Greek.
7406152
Fuck it, magical bullshit makes him speak and understand modern English and slang.
7405963 This is often overlooked but Celestia banished Nightmare Moon forever not just a thousand years.
7406410 Luna is aware of this and will likely bring up that particular wording found in her story when Twilight confronts her again.
