I"m not a fan of Human in Equestria fiction much. Why? Well because most of the time it one of two things

1: Wish fulfillment: this one you could make a check list for. Meet mane 6 and/or favoarte character of show, check. instant freinds or no one care about a bipedal creature(which makes sense kind of they have minitors and such that have hands) take a shot for everytime a fic has the 'i'm a brony' trope.

2: dies and wakes up as pony/griffing whatever: Just doesn't sit well with me when the main character really just ends up there, if you can tell as story and your human part of it has little to no baring of the plot then why not just have your main character be a pony in the first place.
