I will downvote fics that include elements offensive to myself or that reflect poorly on the already tepid FIM/fanfic community reputation*.
These include:
– Egregious orthographic errors
– Nonsensical storylines
– Out-of-place characters, including OP OCs and lonely bronies
– Poor attitude
I will not downvote for these reasons alone:
– Sex, gore, or other material I do not personally enjoy
– HiE It can be done.
– Alicorn Twi
– Unclear synopses
