Ever see the 'Equestria Invasion' threads pop up every so often? It's basically a groups attempt of doing just that and fucking up with a 2 year old story. One thread nearly every week for well over a year and a half and multiple writers can't even finish a single, shitty story.

>>25895917

I think it's a pretty good idea - some kind of closure is better than nothing.

>>25895917
Why would anyone would want to do this?

>>25894707
rest in peace moe.archive

>>25895989
It's difficult to do in some cases. Most stories that require 'closer' are done so because there's some kind of story that people are interested in (not just mindless clop) and in most cases the author has an ending planned and in most cases would account for that subtly in the main story. Unless you were to actually talk to the writer, you'd never know what that plan was and even if you could derive something from what already existed you'd have a hard time piecing it together the wrong way around or knowing what is and isn't important to the central plot. Or maybe that was just how I wrote my unfinished story.

He always abandons ship, if it's the same guy from a year or two ago. He ran one waaaay back that I believe finished, and then every other time he sporadically started one up, he'd pull a disappearing act.

>>25895989
sounds like a good way to drive off writefags in general, especially after all those stories where they finished at a good spot but the anons just want it to keep going forever for some reason; nothing more insulting than having some asshole taking over someone else's work.

>>25894481

That was such an amazing setting, and the relationship between Anon and Sunset was super interesting.

Unfortunately, we've driven most of them off already. The attrition rate for /MLP/ has to be just a couple of weeks.

Once a promising writefag appears their fans go apeshit until they crush the writers with "moar moar moar".

We probably burnout writers within the first two or three threads.

>>25896280
I think that varies from writer to writer. I'd certainly not take any offence to anyone continuing or even rewriting any of my stories.
Sure, it would perhaps be more of an issue if they were doing it while I was still working on it, but if it's something that I've last worked on a month or a year ago, or made clear that I'm not finishing, then I really wouldn't care. In fact, showing that sort of attention to my story would be kind of flattering. I'm not going to be able to decide what other people do anyway, so there's no reason for me to be upset over it.
I'm naturally only speaking for myself here, and I'd expect some writefags to disagree, but I don't think it's a given that it will drive everyone off.

>>25896445
How do you think generals start? A single writer starts a story, they do a good job and the anons in the thread keep demanding moar and moar, but no one else steps up to writer something else to keep the thread active instead of it being a bump fest. Damn I'd that's not how they end up though.

They had a story about a Royal Guard who just got out of Academy Training as a Lieutenant and is slowly falling in love with Luna but is being sent off to war so Luna distances herself from him before he is shipped out, the writefag who wrote it deleted his pastebin for it even though it was a amazing story it was called Soldiering On.

Lokilorien's current two. He's stopped posting altogether currently in /moon/ and the marital problems threads, though understandable since he's busy with Law School.

I'm hoping he at least gets around to them over next summer. Those two stories are top-tier constructed.

There was a story from around half a year ago. It featured Anon keeping the Dazzlings as prisoners and the last part I remember was him hanf
having rough sex with Adagio and completely dominating her. There was another story with a similar idea but less cruel and focused more on Aria who would misbehave.

Also, two Lemon Zest stories from when FG first came out, the thread later became a Crystal Prep thread then it died out.

>>25897928
Damnit I miss that story too, it really made those threads fun for me

I had one. It eventually died and I replaced it with a shorter variant in the new Technology Isn't Magic thread. i had one In the older thread that kinda hit home but never caught on, I think it was linked,in the new thread.

>tfw jeck is gone

>tfw trixie in heat will never get finished

There was this one story about anon who liked Sunset but she was under the impression he liked Pinkie. I think it was back when there were way to many Sunset threads, but it was probably my favorite of those.

I had a couple going on at once at one point. Both of 'em sparked a new general apiece (with the second one getting it's footing alongside two other writefags). The second one itself was started because the story told by the writefag who started the thread ended it on a rather unsatisfying note, so I decided to write it again from the ground up.

I eventually got help with the first general from a couple other writefags before they dissappeared from the thread entirety. Eventually, interest for both began trailing off, and there was no way I could revive it. Not at the pace I was writing anyway, and certainly not after an unfavorable decision I had made regarding a lewd scene in my first story. I let the first general slip away quietly after the previous edition failed to make it to the tripple diggets in the post count. The story itself is still sitting there at 160 pages, waiting for me to finish it and revise it.

I don't know what happened to the second general. I don't even know if the stories got finished. I just sort of left it to its own devices and took a break from /mlp/. That story needs a total re-write, which has begun. Not much progress has been made, but it is underway.

Right now, I'm writing yet another story, but it's for a pre-established general with plenty of posters, so I'll get more interest there. It's turning out to be another long one, and I'm trying to make sure it doesn't get abandoned.

>>25894902
>I don't abandon shit

Horseshit. Jeff drew more attention to the first general than I did, and one day he just stopped updating his story. No warnings, no goodbyes, he just fucking dropped it.

God dammit, I forget the name of it, but it was a EQG Fluttershy story about her abusive Aunt and Uncle, and how Anon takes her in and tries to protect her from her batshit crazy Uncle after he gets out of jail. I really wish I remember the name, but I remember the threads getting overrun with shitposters so badly that the writefag stopped making the threads. Fuckers, I was enjoying that story.

>>25898879
A few things I remember about the story:
-"Orgy" with the mane cast on Thanksgiving
- Car accident where Anon is transported to alternate world where he committed sudoku, then comes back but the notes the girls gave him in the alt world were thrown away by the tow truck driver because they were bloody
- Search warrant for Anon's apartment because of suspicious pedophilia with Fluttershy, luckily finding nothing
- I believe the story ended around a confrontation between Anon and Fluttershy with Flutters' Uncle in a fast food joint, but I could be wrong

Anyone have any information on this story?

I came to this thread to make sure this was accounted for. You are my nigga.

SS&E, I don't care that the episodes since have made the story necessary for a rewrite, it doesn't. Just keep moving forward from that point.

I need to see it through to the ending.
It's nearly as long as FO:E but better. It was such a commitment for the writer to write and so much for the reader to read. I don't normally cry over books but I cried like a bitch at multiple points of that story.

SS&E will probably never pick it back up though since it's been so long.

I absolutely refuse to read unfinished fanfics now no matter what length because of how much emotion and thought I have committed to a plot that may never be resolved.

It's too painful to talk about it now.

The name of the fanfic is The End of Ponies.

It sounds grimdark as fuck- and it is. But not in the cringey way. It's philosophical as fuck like a lot of SS&E's trainwrecks. If you've ever got into Background Pony you would dig The End Of Ponies.
But for the love of god don't start reading it, SS&E doesn't seem to want to acknowledge it anymore.

What, by and large, caused you to stop writing or just "postpone" current stuff indefinitely?

>>25900186
I felt like I was wasting time writing greentext when I always had the idea to write the story proper and post it up on FimFiction so I stopped with the promise of writing it prose on FimFiction and then never got around to it; realising why I wrote greentext in the firs place.

Would I ever go back to it though? Fuck no. Dreadful story. All the characters were shit, baring maybe one, and the story was just going to get worse and worse from where I stopped.

I don't need constant ass pats when I write, just one or two people commenting whenever I make an update. Just so I know I'm not wasting my time writing my story. it'd also be nice to have a poster count of at least 10, but I'm not picky.

I know, I know, I should write for myself. But by large, I write for the enjoyment of others. The two generals I created were not created because I wanted to write the stories, but because someone requested them, and I was interested in the subject.

>>25895917
I agree up until the mimic part. A lot of unfinished stories may belong to now dead generals and not have any relatable place to post. A general dedicated to those lost and confused writefags would be nice.

well always count on Herr Gerfag. While not a writefag myself as of yet I remember that I did manage to sneak in a little part of my own, during the bath house scene in germaneigh when Anon and Cadence left after an epic pool battle giving that sleeping old goat some german lines.

I felt like shit every time I wrote, and usually only worse after posting. Didn't write enough, and none of it was quality content. Around when it made me a depressed suicidal insomniac was where I decided to call it quits and only write for fun now and again.

>>25900186
No one cared, for one.
But mainly I realized that I was writing goddamn My Little Pony fanfiction, Say that outloud if you actually did do stories, long stories. You wrote My Little Pony fanfiction. In public, if you ever hear the word fanfiction, it probably brings out the cringe in you. Now realize that you yourself are also a culprit in this, and for something like My Little Pony.

Let that truly sink in. I have, and I doubt I'll ever forgive myself for this.

>>25900186
Mostly, it's because I write stream-of-consciousness.

I've written myself into a corner a few times, where I can't really retcon shit without invalidating something I put a lot of work into making work right. But significantly worse is when I'll write something that caught my eye, and I'm really fucking into it, and then in order to not get fired or fuck up relationships, eventually I'll have to step away.

Then I come back, and as much as I try, I can't force myself back into the same mindset as when I wrote it originally. Everything feels really hollow and forced, like I'm prodding the characters in a certain direction rather than writing what they would naturally do/say. And the pain of abandoning a story, lying to myself that one day I'll feel the right way to write it so it's not fucked, is just the tiniest bit less than the pain of knowing I had a good thing going that people liked and then fucked it up by trying to force it.

>>25900901
I used to unironically write and consume fanfiction in gross quantities. When I say fanfiction, I mean in the traditional sense that brings the cringe out in us. I'm much happier now knowing I write shitty greentext fanfiction than shitty fanfiction fanfiction.

A good number of people who come here, come here to read AiE. It might be a shitty genre, but it brings a lot of happiness to anons who've found themselves in a terrible situation.

Anon's read pastel pony greentext for escapism.

>>25900186

Boredom and lack of interest. Although I really fucked up and put off writing a story I wanted to for Christmas. A year or two ago, I did some depressed Anon on Christmas from Dash's pov. I always meant to put out another version from Anons pov with it ending in his suicide.

>>25901033
Hey, I never knocked AiE. I knocked fanfiction.

>>25900533

I know which Loki I'm talking about. I drew this for him, after all. Looks like he took the story down though. It was about Anon and his futuristic human invasion forces helping the ponies fight off the griffons, minotaurs, and diamond dogs.

Fuck, I remember when Wuten finished his first story and people were so pissed at the ending he had that they told him they were going to re-write it. That event spawned my trip here and me starting to write, not to 'fix' his story, but to make my own. Feels weird knowing I've written a bit of mlp garbage fiction.

Does anyone remember the story where Anon was osterized from Ponyville and lived out in a shack by the Evergreen Forest?

I remember his daily routine was basically keeping himself alive by killing timberwolves with a shotgun and he brought with him, and by the time he reached his last shell he was about to employ the 'Hemingway solution' before Fluttershy intervened.

>>25901252
It's the nature of /mlp/ fanfictions. People don't come to read greentext out of ideal boredom, they come looking for some kind of relief from whatever shitty hand life has dealt them.

It might be pathetic, but for some it's the only form of escape they get, and when a story ends without any kind of resolution it's like a knife in the heart.

>>25894477

I know exactly how you feel. When I was really little, I stayed up all night writing out the TV schedule for Disney. It took up ten sheets of paper and covered the span of a month. I was all ready to mail it in to Disney before I realized I had written it for winter but it was still only summer. That went into the trash.

Lack of interest made me take a break initially. Other projects got in the way, and by the time I got back to be able to write it, I realized I hated it. I'd have to re-write half of it, to get it to a place where I'd be happy with it, and I doubt the general would enjoy me posting the same story a second time, before continuing. At least I'm still writing other stories, right?

Anyway Lyra is in his DnD group and (i think) was his childhood friend, doesn't show that she cares that way until Sunset comes around.

It was such a good story, if anyone has a pastebin for it, finished or not, I'd like to read it again, the Lyra in that story was fucking wonderful and I loved her.

One of these days, maybe I'll actually finish that.

I'll post it in fingerbang and trixie tuesday if I do.

This pretty much, but even still I've mostly just been super busy. Like, losing my house and shit. I didn't do anything massive, just some parody crossover shit in the Normal Norman threads, but it's fun to write and hear people enjoy what I do, it can be a little rough when people hold expectations of shit like time constraints though. Believe me, I love writing, I actually think it's one of my favorite pass times, but anything made into commitment, especially when it's unintentionally, is tough. That's why I just write when I can and look for the guys who appreciate what I write and I have no problem writing more for them.

Does anyone remember a story about a guy who wrote an EqG story about anon being in a slave/master relationship with the Mane 6 being their bitch, and he tongue fucked Twilight in the computer room, was anal probed by Rarity, and shagged Rainbow. All while they took photos of him and stuff.

There was another in the same thread this one was created, where Fluttershy "successfully" bullied Anon but in reality he was just doing it for shits and giggles, and it gives Flutters confidence and a decent amount of the Mane 6 girls try to get Anon to submit to them.

If you do, were either of these ever finished?

Great Question. One I don't mind answering. We're currently in "Recording" phase. I've had the script done for a few months now, but the project was put on hold when our Voice Actress's Microphone broke. Thanks to the holiday season, this has been remedied, and we're back in action. There isn't much that I do in this phase other than answer questions from Anons and make little revisions to the script here and there. Here's hoping that the project gets done soon.

>>25894192
I am. I've been writing here for three years. Literally no one ever remembers me.

>>25900186
I never blew up in popularity like numerous others did. Good thing too because I have a few stories I haven't touched in over a year. I think the best part about not drawing attention is I can work on stuff at a leisurely pace and explore more creative ideas without worrying about keeping an audience entertained, and if someone happens to come across it and happens to like it that's okay.

>>25900186
For me, It was the loss of internet access for an extended period of time. My PC broke down and I was unable to secure a replacement for two months. Without it, I couldn't do any writing, watch the show or generally surf the internet about MLP. By the time I had a new PC I already finished recovering from pone withdrawal and the fact that I gained access to a ton of vidya that my old toaster couldnt run didnt help my case. I still sometimes dream of writing some of the projects that I had lined up or finish/reboot the stories that I have but I'm hesitant because I already managed to "get off the ride".

I realize writing it via pen and paper was an option but I dare not have any easily discovered physical evidence of my degeneracy.

>>25900186
Why?
Multiple reasons. And I know other writefags will agree/disagree with some of them if they relate.

>Real Life Shit
Real life gets in the way. Maybe work is on your ass, or you just got a SO.

>Lack of/over attention
This one people seem to go off the deep end about. Lack of attention isn't so much "NO ONE'S PAYING ATTENTION TO ME" but more of "Why would I write if people aren't going to read it?" A lot of people will say, "Oh, you should be writing because you enjoy it." Yes, that is true. But you wouldn't upload it to the public without the intent of having people read it, would you? On the other hand, people get too much attention and it drives them nuts so they stop entirely so they don't deal with the fuckwits.

>Boredom
Face it. Writers grow bored. Whether it's because they don't enjoy writing pone any more, or because they just lose interest in writing all together.

As for me, I was only known for organizing things in the AiE threads, and once I realized that, I stopped. No one cared for my stories other than my friends. And I'm fine with that.

>>25894064
Some dude wrote a sweetie Belle/rarity bondage one. Don't remember his name, but he put it into a pastebin, said he'd update it and never did. Someone capped the whole story, too. Anyone else remember that?

This, especially this. We crush them with unreasonable expectations and grind their inspiration down within a couple of threads.

I've never seen a fandom burn out writers so quickly.

Most instances, it's both.

>>25894192
I am too. I guess I'm kind of glad that I'm not remembered.

>>25916367
It's a paradox, at least for me. I write for shitty, one-off prompt threads that interest me, because threads that are too unfocused like Nightly Twilight, Sun-Day, AiE, and FlutterRape don't give me any inspiration. A lot of stories I've written I'll fuck off of because either 3 people are actually following the thread, or suddenly it becomes a temporary "general" and I don't want to contribute to the cancer that is the board.

I really need to learn how to finish a story within one thread so they don't spawn follow-ups.

>>25916441
I know exactly how you feel. I wrote for the Pinkamena threads when they popped up, but outside of that I didn't drop into generals all that much. Admittedly, though, I did a couple of times in EQGFB. I'd still drop into Strange Waifu if it was ever up.

>>25916088
Fuck, I quit because I only ever really got noticed a couple of times. Maybe my stuff was just too niche.

The longer the story draws out to appease pic related, the higher the chances that the writefag will step away from their computer and say fuck it. Let them write a story and finish.

>>25916467
Strange Waifu is just odd enough that I'd want to write for it, but not so odd that it'd be me and one other Anon. I wrote a thing for Coke Pones that would fit in that general niche.

So, are we going to actually have a "finish your shit, writefags" thread? I'll commit to nothing, but it sounds like a good idea on the surface at least.

If your starting to lose interest or inspiration, give it a quick wrap up while you still have some motivation.

Please.

You can leave yourself with enough room to pick it back up later if you want, but at least give your readers some sense of closure.

Some might argue otherwise, but I'd much rather have preemptive closure than just stop abruptly.

Has anyone just quit writing after the realization of what they were doing?

Sometimes while I'm writing a story, it occurs to me that I'm writing My Little Pony fanfiction for a bunch of 16-24 year old males. After that I usually either abandon the story or take a break.

>>25917057
For a time, yes. Mostly because I realized I'm not really a writer. I came back when I felt that I just had stories to tell.

>>25917127
Your characters are going to be flat and boring if you don't interact with new people and remind yourself what talking to other human beings is like. You can't with any great accuracy write about something you can't relate to; it makes sense that you would need to go out and actually experience things before you could write something worth talking about.

>>25917057
I take a kind of perverse pride in it. The idea that someone who's as much of a loser as me has even once managed to incite another human being to feel something as a result of my writing (lust, contentment, sorrow, anything honestly) is kind of empowering, and only moreso because the subject matter is 3-foot-tall rainbow-colored horses and one green faceless dude's desire to fuck them.

Just curious, do any of you guys ever go through the archive every once in a while, and just re-read some of the responses you got? Sometimes I do it just to remind myself that I have an impact on others here, and that I'm not a complete waste of space

Rarity's Little Helper & Rarity's Little Helper: Love is War (http://pastebin.com/u/Balrune)

Minion causes Trixiefags to wail and gnash their teeth, but he did write one hell of a Rarity AiE story.

He was one of the best new writers last year & mulp burned him out per usual.

I followed his Rarity & Trixie threads and he wrote a couple of thousand words a day between two stories for three or 4 months straight.

Guy still couldn't catch a break though, people kept piling on requests for his next stories even while he was writing two stores (anyone got a screencap of his waifu queue?) I honestly wouldn't be surprised if he had a nervous breakdown.

He was a legitimately nice guy; the board is slightly dimmer without him.

If you're reading Minion, we really miss you, and I hope you finally got that Screwball plushie.

Here's a new one. I /did/ finish my story. I started on some run-of-the-mill prompt and got a surprising number of readers along for the ride. Worked on that story for an eternity but eventually IRL stuff got in the way. I rushed out an ending before I had to stop and felt good about the fact that I didn't turn out to be one of 'those' writefags.

Now I can't stand to even think about the story because it could have been so much better if I had the time to write out the ending better. The irony? One of the anons liked it so much that he's making the story into an e-book file and putting it online for me. I'm going back to edit the pastebin and make the extended version that the story deserves, but I'd say that only 10 people or so will actually read the version I wanted everyone to have in the beginning when the threads were still alive.

The point I'm making is: sometimes it's better to have a good unfinished story than a really good story with a shit ending.

After writing some MLP stuff to get my feet wet, it made me want to try to write some original material. I'm now doing that original stuff now. Do I use my writefag name as a selling point to women? No. Am I ashamed of what I do? Also no.

Motivation dried up over a year ago now and I haven't written anything longer than 1 post since, and even that's rare.

I see so many tired reused prompts posted 2 or 4 times a with no interest in them.

For the writers who seem drawn to prompt threads, do you have any advise on writing a solid prompt that's likely to draw in a writer?

Glad to see that someone knows how to word how I feel when my stories don't get attention. I also get the feeling that people want me to leave if I'm not getting replies.

>>25921098
Every writer is different, so there's not going to be a good catch all that will work. And saying "make a prompt that's different" isn't helpful. Largely, prompts that attract writers are ones that make Anon look like some kind of hero. From homeless ponies, to war threads, there's usually something unique that Anon is being asked to bring to the table, which ties into the idea of him using whatever he brings to the table as leverage for sex. That's what attracts readers and writers. That, and just providing different scenarios for sex with different kinds of ponies.

Like I said, every writer is different. I usually never touch this stuff with a ten foot pole, but from an outside perspective, this is usually the stuff that attracts hordes of Anons to come flooding in.

Also, don't sacrifice character. The more in character you can keep the pony in your prompt, the easier it is to get people to suspend disbelief.

Anyone remember the one where Anon was a prostitute and Rarity was his pimp?

>>25921098
I've been looking for prompts that I like for the last few days to no avail.

From my point of view, a prompt that is most likely to hook a writer is one that doesn't come with a lot of restrictions. Something that is open-ended enough that they can just use it as a jumping-off point to write pretty much anything that could possibly come to mind.

My own example of this is that I DID find some threads with interesting concepts that I considered writing about, but they all came with implications that I personally couldn't or didn't want to find ways to work with.

i remember reading a green where anon was the little brother of fluttershy and also had a huge cock.

it was in some bath thread but i can't find it due 404.

anyone save it?
