A thread to discuss My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic and the tie-in media.
All of the usual forum rules
apply. In addition, please remember that the thread is discussing a kids' show, and it's primarily focused on the work itself, not the fanfic — in particular, we don't want to see lewdness creeping in.

Sheesh. Most popular fanfic I ever wrote was an AU of Ocarina of Time where Link joined Ganondorf instead of getting sealed in the Temple of Time and started regretting it seven years later that I wrote in high school. 10 chapters, 23.5k words, and 2600 views.
Second most popular was a Naruto one-shot shipfic between Shikamaru and Temari I wrote in college that got 1500 views out of 1800 words. Guess I should have skipped all the guilt and redemption stuff in the Zelda fic and just focused on Link falling for Malon the whole time. -,-

@Star Not really. In a way, yeah. But, in another, people who have fav'd that fic, have looked into other works of mine, some of them are smut, other are parodies, only one of serious.

Looks like you wish is coming true.

On that note i always found the concept of CMFIS to be kind of silly. I just think it is really odd how people ascribe such importance to what are ultimately one off gags ("look Twilight, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy are actting crazy and completly different from how they usually do, isn't that funny?!") that probably won't be followed up on.
@Wryte: I'm looking for a name for him in-show. Basically the pony equivalent of Fabio.

Reaction Image RepositoryShame they can't use a sensible ranking system.
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayWryte: That's shipfics for you. Add porn to it for the entire winning formula.
But there's a lot of people who downvote shipfics automatically. I've heard it's very difficult for them to get up the rankings because of that.

Yeah, my most popular story is a shipfic, though after two years of updates it had better have some views.
The other route to poularity is getting a time machine and being a very early fanfic (Feedback)
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayI made my very own Ed, Edd and Eddy fanfic, which is the fic I work hard on the most. I mean, more than any of my other ones. It was an Edd X Marie story and it was a romantic drama and the people who looked at it, said they liked it. However, it wasn't as hit-heavy as my stupid fanfics, only 7 thousand hits. It's too bad because it was a completely original story, to the point where the main characters, Edd and Marie don't really know each other. It was like a retcon, if you will. And, although a bit flawed, it is my personal favorite story I have written for the fanfiction site.
https://youtu.be/_1F5HhUvFbM?si=csgwerqELcG6615qI've gotten a reasonable amount of praise by just writing fairly happy courting fics. Though judging from the comments I apparently have a knack for capturing the feeling of very unpleasant circumstances(Feeling trapped in one's own life, getting over a bad breakup, coming out, etc.) and giving them happy endings, so... eh.
Birthright: an original web novel about Dragons, the Burdens of Leadership, and Mangoes.You read my mind.
But Fimfic seriously needs to switch to a more sensible ranking algorithm.
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlaySounds like they do. Why they don't use confidence intervals, I have no idea. Maybe they're too lazy or bad at math.
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayKind of like how I'm assessed at work!
Speaking of which, I've been loaded with a bunch of extra paperwork due to the incompetence of superiors! Fun! So, I'm going to try do a bit nowish so I don't eat up all my time tomorrow. (I DID send my boss an angry email though)

@Marcen Yeah....I'm pretty sure you regret doing that fic now.
