I haven't, but I feel like I really should o:

To be honest I rarely if ever read fan fiction. There’s no reason for avoiding it really. I just haven’t done it and don’t have an interest in starting at the moment. Maybe I’ll get around to it someday. I’m sure there are plenty of treasures out there to be enjoyed. 

[DixonTheAdversary 1,632]

Nope, I really only stick to official stuff. 

[Totally Nyx 36,040]

You bet I do.

I need more ponies in my life, so I read, read, and read some more.

I read lots of fanfiction, although it can be hard to find good ones. It’s easiest with Fimfiction, though. 

[ZiggWheelsManning 10,297]

The many occasions I've been to Fimfiction, I read stories about Twilight Sparkle, Fluttershy and Scootaloo

[ExplosionMare 18,062]

I read it quite a bit, actually. I mostly go to fimfiction but I also like to browse fanfiction.net and even deviantart sometimes for some good stories. I also like following tumblr comics if I find them interesting enough.

[Flying Pencil 3,024]

I read fanfiction. Whenever I do, I usually go to Fimfiction to read. 

[Clawdeen 14,150]

I do. I read it quite often tbh.

[Northern Star 1,024]

Tl;dr: yes but just on Fimfiction, why and what I read, I haven't got a clue.

Well I never was much of a fiction reader, but Fimfiction is kinda what turned on the light for "hey there is an internet community on MLP" as I don't recall what or how I even found it but during this year's drought while haying I couldn't get too far ahead of the baler so I basically sat in creeper gear or did a round and then waited a half an hour so...out of desperation I got into it?

I just remember that I ignored (and still ignore) the front page and just go by the "also liked" and "recommended" below each story...

According to what I can find the first one I read was part of a 230 part monster staring in 2013 and ending in 2020, about the male version of MLP...and from there to depressing ones about trixie to happier ones to ones with OCs to stumbling across another monster of a series...I remember there being alot of "meh" and now alot of what I had read looks "meh"  compared to the higher quality ones I found. 

I don't know...theres just something about OCs and MLP...I know some I have read did feel like they should have been episodes and others could be a small spin off aimed at more mature audiences. I don't really know why...I suspose to pass the time, especially with our drought and now winter less winter, there isn't much to do...

I used to read a lot of Land Before time fanfics when I was younger. Now I only read MLP fanfics. I haven't read many though.

[Radiant Melancholy 27]

Lot of MLP fanfiction and Equestria Girls fanfics.

[Theautisticrebel 304]

I read some MLP fanfiction and some non-MLP fanfiction, I've even published some fanfiction before. 

[Cash In 22,313]

I used to read MLP fanficition, like 5-6 years ago. It's something I've wanted to get back into, but just haven't had the time or motivation.

[Longhaul 6,868]

Every now and again I do.  I've got a nice collection of favorites.

[Fluttershutter 2,457]

Only very rarely and I'm super picky. I often start fan fictions and then just stop because I feel like it's going nowhere. I read some super long books but a fan fiction needs to grab my interest fast and get to the point. Shipping fics, for instance, just get the characters together all ready rather than endlessly circling each other! Basically the way Miraculous Ladybug is.

And the two letters I hate most in fan fiction are "AU", I don't see the point of putting the names and faces of existing characters on your own characters.

Ignore this, I commented on here before I just realized.

Unnecessary comment

[ZiggWheelsManning 10,297]

For MLP stuff, it's Scootaloo fanfiction  

[Nitobit 1,838]

I read fanfiction almost every day. My favorites are long adventure stories with OCs or background ponies as main characters. There are some truly amazing stories in this community.

[Antiyonder 1,152]

Yep.  Going back and forth between The Owl House and Little Witch Academia, but after finding this through using and old site still around, I found some old Back to the Future fanfics by a Charles Murphy: https://www.geocities.ws/charlesmurphy/bttfstories.html

Read these in the early 2000 when we finally had a computer for internet browsing in addition to our Web TV and when I learned of various scenes that were taken out of the Back to the Future trilogy.

Used to read some MLP fanfiction, but I haven't been reading hardly anything lately.
