I think this topic belongs in here instead of Octavia's Hall, because we aren't posting fanfics Tell me if I'm wrong though.
So, we all know that there were thousands of fanfics made from this show, from clopfics to grimdarks. And there are the really good sad ones that make you shed tears, to epic adventure stories that puts you on the tip of your toes. What do you think about them?

My thoughts:
What is your favorite fanfiction(s), and why do you like it? There are too many great fanfics out there that I love! XD Including Those Blue Wings, Scorched, Lost and Found, and Forbidden Fruit (all on FiMfiction.net). Those Blue Wings is an AppleDash fic, and it had great dialogue and plot. Scorched is a 2nd person fic between "you" and AJ, and it was actually the first fic that teared me up. Lost and Found is FlutterDash, with adventures with Fluttershy and Applejack. The adventures are extremely interesting. Forbidden Fruit is Twijack, it had an epic adventure plot with lots of feelings between them.
Which fanfic do you feel the greatest emotion from? Yours Truly by Thanqol (FiMfiction.net) was one of the saddest fics I've ever read. The romance between all the mane six and Spike was beautiful (includes FlutterDash, TwiJack, and Sparity.) The letters at the end just made me bawl my eyes out. Also, My Little Dashie, despite the unoriginality, I still liked it, it touched my heart.
What is your least favorite and why? Mary Sue OC fanfics. They are usually alicorns with some sort of tragic past and always has more power than other ponies. Plus they're usually badly written.
Have you ever wished you never read a fanfic? Yes, there was one that I wish I never read. It's not Cupcakes. I won't say the name, but it's a totally innocent adventure story. It just made me feel bad afterwards, because one of the characters was neglected.
Have you ever tried to write a fanfic of your own before? I started two, but never got around to finishing theme. I'm just wayy too lazy, always procrastinating. I am working on a fic now, and I hope I actually finish it this time. XD
What do you feel about clopfics/grimdarks? I'm fine with them, though I don't prefer to read them too often. Sometimes it annoys me that they take a kid's cartoon show and turn it into a sex scene, but as long as it isn't too overboard, I don't mind.
