Brandnewwritefag (https://pastebin.com/u/brandnewwritefag)
Love Daring Douche. Great sense of humor. Classic /mlp/ in a way. He has a great way of characterizing with this certain innocence. I don't know how to explain it.

Beans (https://pastebin.com/u/Fui)
Good at capturing readers' attention with his stories. Loved his sleepover greentext with the pizza delivery Anon. Surprisingly cozy. I like to read it on cold nights usually with a pizza.

LoveandPowerlifting (https://pastebin.com/u/LaPsbin)
A hilarious style and lewd situational smut of the best kind. A solid as fuck writefag. I particularly like his "casual fukk" stories. Currently reading his "A Dazzling Pack" ones.

HeliAnon (https://pastebin.com/u/HeliAnon)
I love his delightful/offbeat quirkiness in his writings. He is a man of the sensible chuckle variety. Nice jokes and fun. Quite fun to read his greens.

Nebulus (https://pastebin.com/u/Nebulus/1)
His stories have a great sense of Anon being a dick. I love that. In the old days, Anon was a total ass to everyone, and his Flutterrape stories bring that nostalgia back. The one with Anon directing a school play slays my sides every time.

Would have to be Sea Urchin for me, but I'm also a sort of elitist when it comes to what I read. If I see any red flags while reading first couple of paragraphs, IE a poorly done cliche, run-on sentences, dumping exposition, and other sort of stuff like that. Don't read a whole lot of green because most of it lacks a certain threshold, but Sea Urchin? He's my favorite, despite me only reading his Obsession story, and his writing has inspired my own heavily in deciding to become a writefag. SciAnon and YFNAON come in real close behind them, though.

Green text is a writing format used by writers on 4chan

When you apply an > in front of a word the arrow automatically makes the sentence or paragraph green. It is also used to quote somebody in a reply.

Two I'm watching now are "heart of war" by ThingFag and Queen Umbra by Rager. Both are pretty good imo, ThingFag makes some really detailed worlds and can make a story feel epic, while Rager is good at consistent character growth and actually being able to advance a story without having it be jarring or stupid.

Probably Mobius from RD thread because Dosh is my waifu. He is good at writing and I like his style. He describes emotions well and every time she and Anon are together it feels really intimate. Nothing is forced, out of characters or shoehorned. It's pretty smooth. You can find his writings on fimfiction. His story is named Excuses

I like to imagine it's like a small gathering in a forest clearing; and all the writefags are in the treeline surrounding it, watching and waiting with camouflage and binoculars for the slightest compliment in their favour.

Yes, but that's my point
You KNOW that people like it, but nobody tells you what's good or bad or whatever about it
I mean, fuck, when you write a green here and get like 5 (you)s in a week, and post it on fimfic and get like 6k views and 50 comments, it tells something about this place
And I don't expect to get as much views and (you)s, of course, but isn't the point of the whole 'we're all anonymouse' to be honest and tell when you like/hate something? To fucking DISCUSS about shit?

Holy fuck, the one thing more triggering to me than not getting critiquing (You)'s is when someone else gets them and you're left to decide if people even give a shit about your green or are lurking in silence.
I may have fucking murdered a whole general because of this, because I decided "No one gives a damn anymore" and it just flat-lined soon after.
Good riddance.

Even though we're anonymous, some people don't dare to criticise your work because some people stopped writing after getting critics. That's retarded but it happened. People that don't give (You) when you do good work are lazy fuck though.

Anyway, you must know that at least one person here will appreciate your work or will fap to.

Writerfag here. As someone who writes primarily fantasy stuff, I end up doing a surprising amount of research on stuff like geophysics and astronomy, mainly so I can write about worlds fundamentally different from our own (different size, number of moons, tilt of axis, period of revolution, etc) while still adhering to the laws of science as we know them.

Then why do you share those writings with anyone? What purpose does it serve?

Every creative type has a little narcissism in them, whether they want to admit it or not.
>>
>>30565273
This
Of course you can love writing, and you can do it 'for yourself', but if you share it it means you want this attention
Whether it's because you want people to give you love or because you want to share this story with the rest of us, or because you find it funny to make people masturbate to your fantasies, or even if that's your fucking fetish I'm certain that's a thing
If you didn't do it for yourself you wouldn't be writing, it's as simple as that
And if you weren't doing it for the (you)s then you wouldn't share them
>>
>>30565174
If neither I or the reader are enjoying what I'm writing, then why continue to write the story? It'll just annoy those in the general, as the story is perceived as shit, and it'll bring me no joy to write something nobody wants. It's like writing a letter that'll never be read, no real point.

What do you write about
>>
>>30559842

I like its impressive ability to convey alot without needing a great deal of fluff. Hemingway would have liked greentext.
>>
>>30565897
If greentext had existed in the past, you can bet your ass that Dostoyevsky would have used the format to write Notes from Underground.

There's a certain charm to greentext that I really like. Just sticking to purely to what is needed, no filler. Plus it's one of the few times I get to write in second person.
>>
>>30565905
>No filler
>Just what's needed
You described the exact opposite of greentext. 95% of what people post here is unneeded crap. The other 5% is actually really good and comes with a lot of detail. I think the best greens I've read were ones that followed Anon's consciousness in a believable way, like how the reader themselves might break down a situation. The ultimate charm of green isn't how straightforward it is, but how relatable it is. If you want bare minimum, no filler, you're looking for Hemingway, and he wrote in prose.
>>
>>30565884
Usually Anon stuff. I do write "romance" but honestly, my best stuff isn't romantic at all, but almost all my stories center around a relationship of some kind between two characters, whether it's friends, parenting, etc.
>>
>>30565995
Can you give me a few examples of such good greens? Preferably with a pastebin link.
>>
>>30559383

I'm not narcissistic, it's just that my sense of self-worth is entirely dependent on the opinions of others. If I post some greentext and get a bunch of (You)s, then that means I probably won't look away from the bathroom mirror in shame the next time I have to take a piss.

BBSA by my standards isn't a very good green, but a lot of crazy otherworldly shit does happen in it. You would expect the writefag to be so absorbed in explaining all the happenings that he forgets about the characters. That's not what happens though. ChurroAnon keeps the story focused on the characters' minds and focuses the story around their actions more than anything else. Even with all the crazy stuff going on, the reader is always on track with the main character because Churro does such a good job of keeping us in his mind.

https://pastebin.com/qU90T9fG
Traplight is a pretty good green and handles a lot of characters. Nobody is a good person and the story is very upsetting, but with how Jeff writes them, you can at least understand why the characters act the way they do because you can see the world through their lens. Everything makes sense when typically you'd think it shouldn't. That's impressive given how many unique characters he had to keep track of.

https://pastebin.com/5ECNnjxF
Obsession is probably one of the best greens in the thread on a technical level and even better in story. By the time the end hits, things have spiraled so far out of control that you'd never have expected any of it at the start, but you can perfectly follow the chain of events because everything is seen through Anon's eye and how Urchin writes his descent into madness is so believable that you can picture yourself on the same journey if you were in his shoes. Not many people can write such a broken, hurt, and ill character and still make it compelling. One of the reasons it is here is because Anon is so relatable in action and thought and Urchin's world building skills help flesh everything out.

Long epic stories dont do well in green. Most peoples eyes glaze over when they see a 5 paragraph wall of text all in green. New readers will likely give up at the very idea of trying to start off from the beginning and definitely not understand what the fuck is going on.

I once did an extensive story about anon as a knight fighting dragons to save celestia via greentext. To not be quite so much of a faggot, id post one wall of greentext to show the chapter start and have the rest in pastebin with the link provided. With all the pastebin chapters right there, I thought new readers atleast had a chance.

Just my thoughts. Greentext isnt the best form for long stories really.
>>
>>30566059
But most of the best greens are super long
>>
>>30566064

Well I was talking more about getting attention and feedback. Especially in a sustained way. 4chan isnt a good platform for attention seeking faggotry as a rule anyway. I was talking about how difficult it is to know if people like your story, how much etc.

Fimfiction definitely excels in that, if the userbase didnt have garbage taste.
>>
>>30564917
What number of views on a pastebin account is considered to be good? If I'm a writer and my account has 40,000 views, how do I know that 80% of those views aren't bots? When you post something it almost immediately gets 10-20 views, so a good chunk HAS to be bots.

Also, half of fimfic's user base still browse/used to browse here/ponychan

I don't get it when people say this. How do you honestly think it could have ended otherwise? The only possible endings were all either edgy, super depressing, or didn't fit the story. What we got was the best he could have given. Anon would have either lived forever as Blackmane's slave, died as Blackmane's slave, lived and be thrown in jail for what he did, or live and hide in the forest over guilt. The way it happened, he killed the villain and died with his pride intact. A different Anon in that thread mentioned how the story had an enormous focus on his pride and self image and that a bad end wouldn't be him dying, it would be him giving up. He fought and won and proved that he had what it took to save the world just like he always wanted. He showed the villain who was boss and spat in Celestia's face as he died. Even after he died, things were ok. The country was safe, the ponies got another legendary hero, and Luna got what she deserved for being Equestria's greatest whore. That's the best ending we could get.

Oh no, dude, I thought the ending was alright. I was referring more to Urchin's storytelling. In my opinion Anon's continual fuckery wasn't rationalized well as the story drew on.

At some point Anon becomes so broken that you're not supposed to empathize with him. By then the only things driving him are anger, bitterness, and his obsession so he doesnt have much rationalization skills to speak of. It's not that we're supposed to feel his pain, just understand how he got there and feel bad for the hand he was dealt.

Pencils can't write. It's why he filters it through Greg.

Greg can write but I get the feeling he's just shrugging it off because he doesn't have 100% control so he gets nothing out of it.

Pencils can do good art.
Pencils can't write.
That's why every thread is him having anons reword and rewrite his work. He just lacks any actual writing ability.

Plus what >>30559587 said about the contents is correct. Random anon sex story isn't entertaining when it's the subtext.

It's why stories like Flutterape LTD are good because while the sex is a joke, it's not even remotely the focus.

It helps if you look at it as a satire of Anon stories, really, and even manga. But yeah, pencils is not a natural-born writer, but he's a god-level drawfriend.

It means "regards".
"Regards, Pastafromspace", as in, it's Pasta that made the comment.

Another example:
"There's nothing wrong with Jews." then someone would reply with "t. a Jew" as if to imply that it's a Jew that made the comment.

Question for writefags. How do you avoid getting tired of writing? there would be many times where I would get sudden inspiration for a potential green, but writing it out quickly became too tedious to be worth it.
>>
>>30575397
/nst/ has a ton of greens that are loosely connected around a shared multiverse.
>>
>>30577889
Not too many projects at once (preferably only one at a time), and learning to write even if you don't feel like it. It takes ass muscles to sit down and write when you don't have the inspiration, but if you only do it when you have the inspiration you'll never get anything done.
>>
>>30577889
You just have to be interested in seeing it through. Burnout is real when writing stories, and there's no known cure for writer's block.
Honestly, there are about 3 stories I could be working on right now but I'm just sitting here playing Diablo because I have no motivation to write. Tomorrow I may be motivated though.

But I know that stepping away from writing and not putting too much pressure on yourself makes it easier to write, since it feels like less of a chore when you're doing it if you don't push yourself so hard.
>>

Three major factors.

If you have enough people showing interest to justify you having your own thread/position in a general, you're effectively doing a service to the community by providing OC and entertainment. On /mlp/, it's about finding a topic/genera that you like and running with it.

Then it comes down to really liking the premise you've chosen to write about. If you really want your vision out there for better or worse, then just fucking do it, even if it's just for yourself/a niche audience. Due to the diverse audience we have on this board, there's at least one person who wants to read what you want to write.

Third is alcoholism, but I think that's less to do with writefagging in general, and more to due with myself. Personally I'm really far gone tonight.

>TLDR:
>/mlp/'s interest
>Your interest
>Booze
>>
>>30577912
This so fucking much. Starting a story is (in my opinion) the hardest part. Because everything is fresh, you don't hold any attachment to your work and it's incredibly easy to call it quits early. Once you've put out 10k+ words you'll still feel lazy and unmotivated at times, but you have a foundation to continue from (reluctance to drop an unfinished story is all the push I need).
>>
>>30577897
Which upsets me greatly. I wrote for them before and I wanted my story to be separate from their multiverse because I don't like groups and it's also fucking dumb. They're so damn proud of it though like they're the only ones to ever come up with the concept that they refuse to NOT include any green in their thread in the universe. It left a bad taste in my mouth.
>>
>>30577889
I have no clue. I have roughly 30 stories in my pastebin, and about a third of them are actually complete
>>
>>30577889
This is a multifaceted problem for which there is no one right answer. I find it necessary to commit to a schedule and stick with it. Try to pick one that's sustainable, but still fast enough that you might actually finish before the head death of the universe. Once you've committed to a schedule it's more a matter of determination than motivation.
Clearly, this solution won't work for everybody. You'll need to find your own path. But if motivation is the issue, try to substitute it for determination.

>>
>>30577889
Well, you have to structure yourself. You have to plan your story and find ways to make it continue to be appealing for you. Usually you get conflicted, like, "is this what I want or what THEY want" and you'll have to decide that on your own. Usually, you just keep working on it. Keep it fresh and interesting that you want to keep working on it. It'll still take time. It always does. However, you can, at the very least, work on other stories in between them. For example, I have one green I've been working on that I decided to rewrite. If I write for that for too long, I'll go work on another one I have in store. And if I don't want to work on that one, then maybe I'll do a short little green for the day instead.

Then again, I usually spends months writing greens and wait for a thread that's relevant and begin posting if people start requesting for green. I operate weirdly.

I fucking hate that I accidentally deleted my old bookmarks and can't find this one long story whose name and author I can't remember because I dropped it months ago but still wanted to check back on it once the writefag posted more. I spent five hours looking for it on pastebin last week but couldn't find that shit. It was about an Anon who came to humanized Canterlot as a transfer student were Flash was in a gang and obsessed with the main 6 and kicked Anon's shit in for trying to be friends with them but being fucked up triggered some weird powers in him. Not the best written or anything but I still loved it because Anon's powers reminded me of Alex Mercer's from Prototype. Probably got deleted anyway.

The story is pure wish fulfillment
Characterization for canon ponies is either flanderized or just plain wrong. Except for Maud, she's the most plausible, but also probably the easiest to write.
Pencils can't into Engrish
He's a Finngolian

But, aside from that, anyone going into this comic for good story and DEEPEST LOAR is in idiot in the first place. I only like it for it's excellent art and lewd ponies.

And for inspiring other drawfags to create more porn of Cloudy Quartz. God bless Bencils for that.
>>
>>30587593

Pencils isnt that bad.

The problem is that he's gone instantly to lowest common denomination with lewd ponies and '''''anon''''' being fuck all like any other interpretation of Anon, which in terms of writing is the biggest sin. Anon should be either totally indifferent and unphased by any events or involvements or a completely douchetastic faggot who's acting like Shoutingisfun portrays him. Giving Anon facial features is a big no no as well since it ruins the self insertion part of what Anon should be.

He should have just given Anon a name instead and made some random character instead.

Other than that? It's perfectly fine other than the wording but thats because Pencils is ESL. I heard he runs it by Greg but I don't actually think Greg gives any input because he's the sort that has no investment unless it's personally beneficial.
>>
>>30588348
See I disagree with some of that. Anon is a self insert, therefore he can be anyone. As such, he can have any personality and mindset the author chooses of him.
>>
>>30587593
I fucking hate how he wrote limestone as a flanderized animu tsundere, with all the shitty romcom moments that go with, even using stock phrases.

It's rare to find a good tsundere that isn't just some bipolar fuck.
>>
>>30588406
This

See, Anon is made to self insert when we're talking about really short greens or maybe comedy stuff
But when you place him in a long story, where you need him to have a certain personality and mindset, or even a certain 'body', then his purpose isn't to self insert
If you can do it, great, but he's basically a 'no name' human with a personality like you'd see in any other third person hie fic on fimfic

You can make the perfect 'self-insert(able)' Anon in a picture like pic related and such, but when you want to use him in a story, or a comic, then you can't have that, he needs to have reactions, a voice, a mind of his own
Because none of us think the same and would do the same in every situations
>>
>>30588446

>Because none of us think the same and would do the same in every situations

and that is why Anon is either like the Anon in your image, because it'd be a likely response in a thread which covers the coalesced joke anon, or a completely blank slate Anon who gives generic responses with a bit of internet sass like in the better long green text stories.

Neither has an actual character or agenda and fulfills the self insert/experience bracket of what Anon is mean't to fulfill.

The problem with Pencils' Anon is that he is a character that could be fulfilled AS a character with his own name. Given it's an MLP comic as well, he wouldn't even have to be a human since they could just make him a stallion who appeared out of nowhere and get the same exact story.

It's not a bad comic but the writing is pretty standard and could do with a proper writer. But that's the curse of most artists.

This is honestly why the "all humans must be anon" thing that goes around here really actually rustles my jimmies something fierce.

Heresy, I know. And in honesty, I'm not against running a self-insert point-of-view story; I've written them myself. For pure fap material, they're fine. But writing a story that gives its Anon defined character traits, backstory, and personality details that make it impossible to be a straight self-insert is already shaky territory, and God forbid you actually use another name. What's the big deal about that being such a huge tipping point? Is self-insertion such a massively huge deal that it must be the primary draw of a story, its inclusion or exclusion overriding all other measures to judge by?

It's simple board culture Anon
See, I just called you Anon. Just like you call me Anon, and I call everyone Anon.
If you write a story about 'one of us' or 'me' or 'you', then it's an Anon
desu I fucking hate it when the protagonist of a 2nd person fic has a name other than Anon.
If you don't want to use Anon, then don't use anything.
If you want to make it a third person and name him john...
Then there's big chances I won't read it anyway, like many other Anons

Anon just feels more... natural, I guess
It started as a joke, and went way too far, and you can't back away now

>>30588671
But Pencils' Anon is a character with his own name; it's Anon
He's not supposed to be named that way because it's easier to self insert into, he's named that way because it's the rule of the land
It's a meme, a joke
Because he's nothing like me, I'm not a fucking saitama with super strength and shit, and I'm quite certain there's not many of us like that here
And it wasn't Pencils' plan

Anon is Anon because all the humans are named Anon here

>>30588446
When I write Anon, I leave out all the physical descriptions I can other than what is absolutely necessary for the character. Leaving his skin, eyes, hair, and so on a mystery helps maintain that self insert idea even with a more developed character. If people choose to imagine Jim as. abald green man, that's fine. Of they want to see him as an aryan, they can. If they want to see themselves, they're able to.
