For anyone who stumbled on this by accident (which I assume is everyone reading this with one exception) and doesn't want to listen to my cynical, semi-coherent ramblings, the tl;dr is that I'm burnt out on FiM, disappointed by the latter two-thirds of the show and unimpressed at best with what remains of the fandom.

Normally, I'm a fan of fixfics. Despite what the show's writers and the fanatics in the fanbase may try to insist, the writers aren't infallible, nor are they above criticism, and there's nothing wrong with someone who can do it better... doing it better. But there's one branch of fixfics that I just can't support. As you can probably guess by the title of this blog entry, I'm referring, of course, to Anon-A-Miss fics. Now don't get me wrong, the source comic was absolutely terrible and would
