I used to hate fanfic.
I've been a part of various fandoms over the years and the one thing I could never really get into was fan fiction, if it wasn't an official part of the property then I never gave it a second thought. These feelings continued until I became a part of the My Little Pony community. I love these confounded ponies and I can't get enough so when I ran out of episodes I did something I thought I would never do again and try fan fiction. I did not regret it.
