    I don’t have one, and I hope it stays that way. Do you openly express your feelings?

    I read this, took a shower and did laundry, and then the song was stuck in my head. Do I blame you, Pinkie? Or do I blame Coloratura?

    Hey Splashee, happy birthday. I hope you’re doing okay. :worry:

      I'm doing okay. Thank you @Cagey :blush:

    Is there a way to share characters? I figure everyone just makes their own version, but I don’t really know.

    Am I missing something?

    I figured I'd do mini-reviews on book-length fanfiction, just to keep my thoughts all in one place. Note that I'm not a critic, nor a gifted writer, and I'm not even sure of all my opinions here, because it's been a while since I've read most of these. Anyway, let me know what you think of these stories, if you've read them. Anthropology was a lot more predictable and cliche than I was expecting, and it did not feel well thought-out. There were a lot of unexplained plot devices. I liked the ending, though. Past Sins has a similar writing style to Anthropology, but I liked the plot more. I found the cult interesting, and I liked Nyx. I do wish the story spent more time cultivating the familial relationship, because I wasn't really feeling the motherly vibes as much as the story was telling me about them. Triptych is emotional, well-written, and action-packed. The writing is dense, however, especially in first dozen or so chapters, and it is difficult to parse through all the vague mystery-building parts. I'd recommend it to people with a lot of patience, both for the writing and for the characters' decisions. A Mark of Appeal, a prequel to Triptych, is engaging and impactful, despite being smaller-scale. I think this story is underrated. To Perytonia starts off slow, and remains that way for most of the story, but it has a beautiful ending. The main interest of the story lies with the setting, although not every question gets answered in the end. Also, the reader may often want to strangle Rainbow Dash and/or her companions, and in that respect the conflicts are a little frustratingly simple. If you like unique settings, you should give this a read, though. The Games We Play is the only long-form fimfiction I've read more than once. It has a few early-fandom cliches, but I have a soft spot for this story, even though the characters' relationships are not exactly healthy. The Silver Standard takes place during canon, and as a result, the reader already knows what will happen in most cases. The plot is not very tense because of that, yet it manages to make Silver Spoon's inner conflicts unique and fleshed out in a way I've never seen from fanfiction before. The Enchanted Library is a nice blend of alternate universe, mystery, and romance. A lot of the book feels like setup for the sequel, however. I don't remember every detail, unfortunately, but I am going to read the sequel soon. I'll probably update here when I finish reading the sequel.

    I am still in touch with a few of them.

    I had stage fright, so I never signed up for any of that. I wanted to, though. Ah, I just realized I already replied to this topic. Top of the page, no less. Serves me right for not reading.

    I went to a coffee shop with my band members. It’s the first time we’ve ever hung out like that, and it was a lot of fun. A real bright spot in an otherwise not-so-great day.

    Not counting movies: MLP made me tear up a few times, and the ending of Gravity Falls got me, too. A couple other cartoons had extremely emotional moments, like Bojack Horseman, Infinity Train, and Steven Universe, but I don’t remember having a physical reaction like crying.

    I read a book and some fimfiction today. Also worked on a drawing. I’ve been learning how to (somewhat) draw portraits.

    And as far as I can tell, it’s still snowing. :wacko:

      Cool. Will you share any of them? :squee:

      Maybe when I like one enough. :Thorax:

    Probably from failing health, like heart complications. I don’t know how I’d want to die, though.

    Okay, so reactions are back. I did have a feeling it was some sort of test, and also, it was never the end of the world—but either way, I’m glad that it’s concluded. Sorry about the hassle, Jeric. :twismile:

    Anyway, I hope you all have a great night (or morning), and I’ll see you all tomorrow. :BrightMacContent:

      Not the end of the world, no.  However, seeing who reacts to your posts is an important part of a forum, imo.   
       

      Anonymous reactions would just bug me too, and it wouldn’t feel whole to me. 
       

      Goodnight :coco:

      Us being told about it from the beginning would have prevented the confusion.

      Oh, it's working again? :rarity: Good to know because although I never had that problem, it really seemed to be getting to a few people. :adorkable:

      Goodnight! :BrightMacContent:

    Anonymous reactions feel wrong to me. Brohoofs are like fist bumping your friends as you walk past them on the street, and... it’s how I like to communicate. I, Cagey, am listening to your posts, and you, people I know, are listening to mine. If we’re anonymous, it feels meaningless. 

    I know a lot’s happening right now. If anyone wants to talk, let me know, but I might be a little less active for a while.

      I haven’t seen this happen myself yet but an hearing everyone about it

    I don’t think I’ve ever heard one, sorry. Am I the only one who likes lurking around the forums without saying anything?

    “Y’know, someone needs to make a WALL-E musical.” ”Yeah, someone needs to… not do that.”

    My sister has decided she wants to write a story about Starlight’s plant, Phyllis, becoming super-powered and sapient and meeting the Tree of Harmony. 

    …Yeah. :dash:

    Hi! Welcome to the forums!

    Welp. I spent the whole weekend writing fanfiction that I’m not going to publish, instead of doing actual important things that have to be done soon. I hope y’all are having a good weekend.

      I've been making signatures I'm probably never going to use! We're in a similar club! ^_^

    It has its uses and some subreddits are good, but when I was addicted to it (opening meme subreddits and the homepage whenever I was bored), it messed with my worldview, my opinion of myself, and my opinion of others in a way that harmed my mental health. It has nothing to do with arguments or trolls, but the things people say… all the little things added up. I had to leave the website to return to seeing myself as a person.
