Fimfic is such a gay retard website and I wish we had something better. You can't even make an account without going into their pedocord and begging for one in some bizarre humiliation ritual. More and more I'm starting to think that to allow one lapse in judgement is to enable future lapses in judgement. I don't know the history that well since I've always mostly read greentext, but for fimfic the turning point was probably when they merged twilight sparkle and princess twilight sparkle. Nowadays you can see AI slop on popular and featured and it feels like a dead husk of a website.
On that note, anyone have the QRD of the context around flutterpriest's last story?

I think the largest issue for me was in the main character and the handling of him. The character was introduced as a collection of stereotypes, both them and his dialogue being dated to perhaps the 2010s or so. However, the second he arrives at the home his demeanor becomes that befitting of a conscientious young white man. He has not bathed in weeks and sells drugs. I would expect that he would act based on his introduction as a thug (I'm a balla nigga, I'm da man) ideal and lack enough self-awareness to act the way he did. The dick wart thing perhaps hints that there is more under the surface than first appears, but this never comes up again and isn't very substantial. My suspicion is that what you were trying to go for was a subversion wherein he is revealed to be a pathetic fool despite his bravado and machismo, but if so the twist comes too early to be effective. Another guess is that you perhaps wrote this in one take, and, having a writerly bone or two somewhere inside of you, your instincts sought to make the character more rounded and interesting. However, such speculation might be reaching. I disliked the big dick thing - and thought it would be funnier if his dick was an average size, everyone being mildly disappointed but still getting on with it. The ending was also flubbed. There were multiple ways I could see it going - and the one it went was not very funny. Perhaps shining armor could flip the tables (or, in accordance with zigga culture, the turntables) and turn it into a buck breaking scenario, which sort of already happened in a half assed way. Perhaps he could have immediately came before after a missed penetration attempt and had to play it off cool because of his bravado.
Onto the things I enjoyed. I liked the bit where his dick was slapping the staircase. I enjoyed cadance's immediate and swift reaction to ziggers in her royal presence (that pink ass belongs to ME). I also liked the bit with Fleur, but it could have been written better. My favorite part overall were the in-text author's notes, as I find that gimmick endearing and it made the story significantly more interesting. The reason I went through the effort of writing this is because the story gave me the belief that you are capable of writing pony fics worth reading, which I am in an unending search for. If you write pony (read:not eqg,not human oc (anons cool thoughbeit)) I will read it.
P.S. After having written all this, I have looked at your other stories and seen an a female human OC fic and an EQG fic have thusly and rightly concluded you are a huge faggot. I should have known from that gooner pic consisting of an obese human ass grotesquely merged with a being I would have otherwise thought was the Her Majesty the Solar Diarch Princess Celestia.
P.P.S. This again leans into speculation (and should be ignored if incorrect) - but based on your two quickly abandoned stories and new trollfic, you seem to be avoiding the fear of putting your heart into something - and that something not being very good. I only say this as I am a fellow artist and know myself and many other struggle with this same dilemma, but if this is the case, I urge you to keep writing. This feeling can only be resolved by going forward and through. By creating earnestly with the belief (the veracity of the belief is irrelevant) that you will improve.
P.P.P.S. I've just read your post indicating that this was for the contest, and looking at the rules I can better understand the constraints. So take the above criticism with a grain of salt. I am a retarded autistic pony loving faggot. Though, if you couldn't already tell that from my post, you should pay a visit to your doctor and ask for a faggot retard exam.
