Wasn't Starlight a bit quick to give up on Pharynx?
He'd barely done anything except be a bit moody and hit some plants
Because he wrote episodes for mike and molly and he's a bad writer.
>>30859847
Basically. Just another example of poor writing, but hey what do you expect it's a little girl's show.
>>30859847
Yeah, that was pretty fucking retarded.
Let’s get hypothetical.
You’re a writer who’s been going at it for a bit now. You really enjoy what you do and put your blood, sweat, and tears into each story. One day, you decide to post it in a random thread to get some feedback.
Just one problem: no takers.
You wonder if you should even bother writing; you decide to quit and move on to something else.
If that story applies to you, then hold your horses. If all you wanted was feedback, to improve your writing skills a bit, or maybe just see how others do it, then you’ve come to the right place. There are a few rules, however:
>Posting the story directly in the thread is preferred over a link to Pastebin, FiMFiction, etc.
>One story at a time.
>Don’t be a dick or asshole when reading or critiquing.
>All stories posted within the thread must be pre-written.
This thread’s purpose is to encourage writefags all over /mlp/ to write. We’re laid back here. Post what you want as long as it’s pone related. We’re not all “STOREEEYS ONLY!” We discuss topics such as writing techniques, interesting tropes, and bring forth story ideas. Let’s have fun.

>“How do I cure my writer’s block?”
Magic.
>“FUCK YOU ANSWER THE QUESTION!”
There’s no one way to cure it, but, if you can’t write, you may as well read stories. There’s more to writing than writing; there’s reading too, and that helps. Check some of the links above.
Try the following (keep in mind this won’t work for everyone):
-Figure out when it’s the best time for you to write.
-Fap then write*.
-Write anyway, and allow yourself to write shitty stories. More often than not, the block is the fear of it being bad. That’s what editing is for.
-Seriously, drink coffee. It’s a writer’s best friend.
-Listen to music while writing.
*Unless you’re writing clop, then listen to your boner.

A worldbuilding forum:
http://worldbuilding.stackexchange.com/
Alright. So I finished boot camp, and have been disappointed to find this thread completely dead since I've been back. I, for one, believe it imperative for a writing forum of any kind to have a dedicated place for writers to improve and converse with one another. I don't want to take over these threads in the permanent, as little guy is infinitely more qualified than I, but if no one else will do it, then I'll keep track of them.
I have no idea if the links are updated or need to be changed. I simply copied over the OP and initial post text from the last thread I could find archived.
As for me, I'll be here to answer questions to the best of my ability, but also to ask for feedback. Come one, come all, and don't be afraid to ask questions, even if you think they're dumb!

You are a lewd earth filly futa. You are having a lewd adventure.
Save loaded.
It is early evening, Day 5. You've had quite the busy week so far. You mentally scroll down a checklist just to keep track.
*You lost your virginity to your mother who you've now learned is also a secret agent/cursed werefuta.
*You raped some friends at school during a sexual challenge then formed a harem and convinced them to join it.
*You were then inducted into a secret school sex club that your father -also a secret agent- apparently founded as a means of training prospective young candidates that could one day break your mother's curse through sexual combat.
*You fucked your longtime crush. a futa like you, who now turns out to actually be your half-sister who was conceived when your mother lost control of her body and raped a fellow agent and got her pregnant.
*You reconciled your feelings with and learned the secrets of several old friends and made some new ones, too.
*Then you had sex with them.
*You've fucked teachers and friends and learned about seapony biology and you're probably going to fuck some during your class trip on Monday. [More...]

But right now you're on your way home from a threesome with your sister and unicorn colt friend. Last night a homeless classmate named Spurned Lily stole an airship and crashed it into your house. You'd agreed to help your dad with the repairs if it meant he'd consider letting Lily stay with you until she could reconcile with her parents or find a place of her own. But now that you're finally walking up the road to your house you're met with a sight you weren't exactly expecting. "How did this happen," is all you can think as you stand there dumbfounded.
1. The house is fully repaired and you can start your weekend with peace of mind
2. The house is completely gone
3. The house has like 5 airships crashed into it
4. Your mother's garden out front has bloomed and the whole lawn is filled with vibrant flowers in a heart-shaped pattern
5. Hateful graffiti is sprayed all over the front of your house
6. A rain cloud is parked over your house and flooding it through the hole in the attic
>>30791250
4. and 2. I also wonder how could that happen.
>>30791250
1 and 4. I honestly want less trouble to concentrate on the weekend.
We could have gotten kino.

your fetish is shit
What the fuck is this shit? What the hell is this trash? Who's this shameless mental retard who forgot to get beaten up today? to be put into his place and reminded that he doesn't deserve breathing oxygen?
This cartoon really went to hell if sub-human garbage like this is permitted to air on TV.
Those 3 "friends" weren't any better, but this nuMoondancer is the drop that filled the glass. It reminds me of nuPPG.
Some loser would self-insert himself, but this, this is something new.
She's made to not only be a loser, but a: no-fun villain, a moron, a selfish aggressive egocentric twat and an overall horrible person that should be killed for the betterment of humanity.
The fact that this self insert's whiny garbage is tolerated and forgiven shows exactly what a selfish egocentric twat the real person who wrote this character actually behaves and thinks like in real life.

Man, leave our eyebrow mistress alone.Well, wasn't that what she always wanted?
>>30882671
God these assholes make the secondaries from S1 look lovable.
Glimmer and Moondancer should have been told off , beaten up, properly humiliated and then sent to jail for being whiny spoiled brats.
Enjoying MLP past season 1 is like enjoying Teen Titans GO and nuPPG.
>>30882471
but I like TTG. It's mindless fun and definitely not capeshit.
>>30882471
You mean enjoying MLP season 1 is like enjoying teen titans go. Because season 1 was shit.

WOW! This is Starlight Glimmer, the main star of the show! Say something nice about her!

I actually quite like Starlight Glimmer.
Wow!
Only the virgin and the faithful will be granted his waifu when he dies. Will you endure?
>Unicorns of myth would be completely docile to virgins, going so far as to fall asleep in their laps.
>Go to equestria.
>Unicorns and Alicorns find you irresistibly comfy so long as you stay a virgin.
>Falling asleep outside will inevitably result in a snuggle pile within short order.

>Implying anyone here has a choice.
If you're anything less than willing to die a virgin for your waifu, refer to image.
>Out of 50,000 characterizations they could have picked for Celestia's sister and they chose her to be an autistic loud-mouthed idiot. That broken english, that horrible design, that uneducated voice and that shit behaviour.
>>30880307
The only thing that's more autistic than luna is her fans
>>30880307
She's not even a character. Background ponies get more lines per season than she does, there's no reason to be upset about things that aren't here.

Why the FUCK does Glimmer always mention that she enslaved and ruled a village EVERY fucking time we see her. Literally, every time in every episode she mentions it. Is she proud? Ashamed? What the fuck is going on?
Exposition. It's a big part of her character so people who haven't watched the previous episodes know what's up.
>>30879647
That's her whole life and personality. Oh, there's this thing about kites too!
>>30879647
She's a livejournal/Facebook whorse looking for likes and sympathetic comments either pitying her or justifying what she did. Duh. She's the pony Jessie slaughter
