Because sometimes you don't want an epic tale about how things got to that point, y'know? Or to put it another way, this story gets to the meat (heh) of the matter.
From the description, I was expecting something along the lines of a basic description of sex starting from penetration and ending in orgasm. The ones I read are basically a single random event with almost no context and in some cases the barest of sex-relation to them. It's more like a single, random joke idea for a scene, but not bothering to try and actually make anything from it.
I didn't notice the 2nd person tag until after reading the first few; unfortunately, that's a hard pass for me, even in non-mature stories. The few I did read seemed to do a good job of setting up a situation and characters with very few words, though, so I guess they're probably good from a technical perspective.
8446660 no, I was thinking the changeling like 7 words for it... well that is super short but, why it's clearly not even a one-shot. most one-shots have at least a chapter of 1K to 5K... not total of all chapters put together and one shot is meant to be 1 chapter with good depth like the rest of the one-shots... seven words for a chapter is not eligible.

That's certainly fair. I wasn't really planning to expand any of them--they're basically just little snippets of ideas that got in my head that I didn't think were worth writing an entire story around, so I figured that some people might like reading them and getting a quick chuckle.
And who knows; someone might be inspired to write an actual story based around one of the scenes, and that would be cool. It's just not something that I'm likely to do. For example, the "Ah like it slow and weird" line has been written down as part of a never-completed clopfic for at least two years.
EDIT: and I did pose the question in the blog post if people would be interested in them being longer and more descriptive, or if they're happy with them being super short. So I guess we've got one vote for longer.

I generally only use second person to sort of mock the genre as a whole, so it seemed natural here, especially given the misfortunes that the protagonist experiences. I hadn't entirely intended that, but it just felt right, so it's what I went with.
As for the technical perspective, I guess that's a matter of opinion, as well. I mean, all the words are spelled correctly (probably), and the grammar is good enough. Whether they're actually stories is a matter of opinion, I suppose. But I think that most people would be able to visualize the scene in their head.

It's funny, I've had the debate in my blog before about what is and what isn't a story (interestingly, this was based on comments on one of my stories that was about 6k, as opposed to my 0 word breakup fic), and the ultimate conclusion that seemed to be reached was that opinions vary.
Certainly, on this site there is the requirement for a single chapter fic to be at least 1k, and obviously none of these can stand alone. At the same time, Piers Anthony had a set of 50 word or less stories in one of his anthologies, so even professional writers are sometimes concise (for lack of a better term).
That having been said, these are very much crackfics at their heart, and the only overarching plot element is that the protagonist sticks his dk in everything he can, and is ultimately going to wind up with frequent flier miles at the Ponyville hospital.
But of course these aren't going to be funny or interesting to everyone, and that's fine. I sometimes enjoy something I can read quickly and get a chuckle or two out of, but I'd generally prefer something longer with more substance.
The title and cover art and description worry me, along with the fact that it's written by Shakespearicles, but curiosity is sure to win out in the end, so I added it to my RiL.
I guess some of your other fiction seems a lot better like Not Another Human in Equestria or Hearth's Warming Eve. But, this fiction wasn't for me sadly.
8446741 This isn't true clop so I can comment... I read jokes like this ironically... the offspring is Danny Phantom. Don't question how; it's Danny Phantom.

Oh yeah, for sure. This is nowhere near my top ten. Just a bunch of silly ideas I thought I'd post on FimFiction. And it's cool that it's not your thing--I wasn't expecting for everyone to like it, to be honest.
This is Equestria! Magic happens here! You had orientation on this! Have you forgotten even the most basic lesson? "Don't let the dead - into your bed..?"
Don't blame me if you end up being haunted in the most embarrassing manner possible, is all I can say.
8447810 Makes sense, a lot of horses have short hair, and the longer legs too = hard for fleas to comfortably get to their preferred animal vampirism ground
Not sure if that is even clopped, sir.
8446635
Does it even count as sex if it's with a ghost?
8446660 So he made a mess in the sheets?
(I'm sorry) No, I'm not.
...Sorry, but I was still disappointed.
The question is who was the ghost.
8446703
What are the physics of making love to a ghost, anyways?
If you get a ghost pregnant, is the offspring also a ghost, or is it alive?
8446653 They probably share notes. Collected by Twilight. For science.
8446721
Well, hopefully you were prepared for it.

This is who I was picturing:

I'd say that's legit.
Not a Wendigo?
missed opportunity.
This is Equestria! Magic happens here! You had orientation on this!
Have you forgotten even the most basic lesson? "Don't let the dead - into your bed..?"

did he at least wash her once they were done?
trou?
Anyway, these are really short, really dumb ideas that are over so quickly I'm not able to tell if they're even arousing.
More, please. I really like stories that work as bite-sized chunks.
This is more of a collection of 'Try not to laugh' vignettes

There's frostbite, and then there's breaking off and shattering on the floor.
8447338
Clearly, he slept through the class.
That is good life advice.
She shows up next time he gets lucky.
8447530
Your SciTwi fics were both short and hilarious.
8447703
I'm not sure he'd have to.
8447900
You can laugh; it's okay.
Well, unless you're reading this somewhere that you ought not laugh.
8447738
Short for trousers.
I'm not sure, either.
Fear not; there are more on the way!
I'm surprised he still has that, to be honest.
8446748
D'aaaawwww!!!!
8446928
You'll enjoy it, believe me. (assuming it's your fetish)
8447338
Do I hear... penile possession?
8448034
Wendigo is next week.
8448226
It's weird. It's always the unintentional ones that always work out the best.
8448202
Nah~ I'm sure it's some other reason.
8448198
Aw... True. But it fits the theme of the fic so well.
8448271
But:
Still doesn't make sense.
8448206
I had the same issue. So I had to read parts of this three or four times to get it to click over.
I'm not complaining.
8448232
His ding-a-ling, or his medical insurance?
I know, right? I wouldn't mind being haunted by her.
8448255
It's probably not, but I can always bail if it gets too weird.
Maybe he'll find himself attracted to a mare with a similar affliction.

That might wind up being something that Nurse Snowheart can't fix.
8448267
I know. Kind of frustrating, really when the stuff I plan doesn't work out like I think it should, and the stuff I don't works out great.
Maybe he likes it longer.
Sooner or later, he's sure to find a pony who makes fun of his manhood.
8448710
The best part is as the author, that means that you didn't spend enough time writing or editing the chapter for it to actually count.
8447810
Makes sense, a lot of horses have short hair, and the longer legs too = hard for fleas to comfortably get to their preferred animal vampirism ground
8446732
THEN WHO WAS PHONE!?
8449210
Or else horses just don't taste good to fleas.
What is this anymore?
8484393
What is anything?
At least the protagonist..
(Wait for it...)
...raised somepony's spirits!
