Hi!
You've stumbled onto my page somehow, so here's some info about me. I've been a brony since around mid-2013. I'm not really a writer; despite my occasional spurts of motivation to start a story, I never follow through because that motivation never lasts. Is it better to start a story and leave it unfinished rather than never start one at all? I could make arguments for either, to be honest.
If I ever did write a story I'd want it to be a long one as that's what I enjoy reading. That's a challenge, however, considering short stories are probably the best way to learn and I would certainly need more practice with writing in general before attempting anything large.
Reading MLP fanfiction is still something I love to this day, and I don't see myself stopping anytime soon. My taste has unfortunately become a lot pickier over the years. Just one or two grammatical errors in a story's summary or within the first chapter or so will get me to drop that story real fast. The same goes for bad story flow and telling-not-showing writing. It just takes me right out of the story when I encounter problems like the aforementioned, making it hard to continue reading even if I really like everything else about the story.
Fallout Equestria is a favorite genre of mine, as you may be able to tell. I love most stories with a changeling protagonist or a protagonist that is seen as typically-evil or 'monstrous' (in form and/or in actions) turned good. A lot of the stories I read are gigantic - we're talking 200,000+ words long. I want to be able to get invested in a story and feel exhausted but content by the end. Generally, I pass up short stories unless I really, really like the story idea.
Some days, I put on some subdued music and browse long forgotten stories by authors who were last seen online years ago. It's a depressing experience and yet something I enjoy doing once in a blue moon.
Anyway, I've rambled enough here despite having little of substance to actually offer. Look below for some of the absolutely incredible stories I've decided to put on display! They'll give you a better time than the time you spent reading this, I guarantee it.
I always like seeing when something was last updated, so I'll leave this here. Won't bother updating for small changes.

Random Old Tumblr Nostalgia
Another one of my nostalgia-fueled history binges. Spending four hours just trawling through the old blogs I used to read—some just gone or left completely empty—is a real hit to the emotions. Really kills me thinking of all of the absolutely amazing works and arts that are just gone like that. Couldn't find the actual artist pages for many of them that have moved on.
