Friendship Is Caustic.

[William 1]

Anyone who is a regular visitor to FimFiction may have noticed my fanfic Friendship Is Caustic appear a few days ago. Since that initial day it hasn't gotten much traffic....or much of anything. I figured posting it here might help give it a little boost. So, here it is.

 

Synopsis:

Upon discovering some revealing and disturbing history regarding Celestia's ascent to power, Twilight stitches together a band of friends to liberate Equestria from a millennium of tyranny and oppression. The Cutie Mark Crusaders learn some tough lessons about family, morality, and that questioning the status quo isn't always a negative thing.

 

 

Some other notes:

This is not a clopfic, scootabuse, filly shipping, it also isn't set "in the future".

 

Enjoy, and if you have a finfiction account, please please pleeeaassse comment, upvote, and all that grand stuff. Thanks in advance!

Is there a history of Scootabuse in your writing? Or is that just on FimFiction in general? Heck I can't even find Scootaloo themed fics. The search on fimfiction throwing me at google is just bleagh.

No scootabuse, none of that. Apple Bloom has a bit of a scuffle with A.J but nothing sexual or otherwise and it is very brief and has a bittersweet resolution.

Sounds cool, William. I'll take a look at it.

I know. FIMfiction has a terrible search function. Has it always been this bad, or is it just in the past week that the filters practically stopped working?

I honestly don't get their searching system, be it by filtering (which is where you parse stories by character(s) and genres, or the really crappy Google search. As a web designer/programmer I would never put my users through such a boring, ineffective (for a content-driven site like that), and--I'm going to say it--lazy way to add a "search" function to the site. Before I had an account I had to bookmark my favorite stories the old fashioned way just to make sure I found them. :l

 

They could just use something like Sphider, hack it up to their needs, hell they can even combine the filter and search and it would be incredibly effective. You try that now and you almost get 0 results.

 

As a reader there are a lot of additional variables I wish they had, like "age" or something, I dislike stories where "lol the cmc r in high school now n ther teenagers n stuff", I'd also like to weed out the ones that get poor up/downvote ratios, (ironic considering last time I checked, my story would be one of the ones I wouldn't see as a result).

 

/end rant.
