All Art Is Quite Useless


When I'm not writing stories, I'm writing essays. My keyboard sees fairly frequent use. University student, high functioning Rainbow Dash enthusiast, and satirical activist.

Whenever Twilight writes a short comedy story, ponies eat it up. When she tries to write a long, sweeping epic? There's no one to be found.

So is the moral of this story basically "sellout and write what the masses want?"

I feel like such a morale would be better delivered with someone like Rainbow Dash as the narrator. It doesn't seem in-character for Twilight Sparkle (aficionado of obscure literature and oft-forgotten historical figures) to abandon something she's passionate about in favour of something she isn't really.

Poor Twilight... she is a victim of the Magnum Opus Dissonance Trope...

Maybe she should try publish other genres (like mystery or adventure) under a pseudonym (like Stephen King with the Richard Bachman name, and J.K.Rowling with Robert Galbraith) and later reveal her identity - maybe it could change how her work is viewed by the public...

P.S. I would add the tag Drama, since the story is a bit serious.

Oh geez, is this autobiographical? XD

Upvoted for knowing exactly how that feels, :raritydespair:

And now a brief pause while every author on the site deletes all of their ongoing stories of 20k words or more.

@#$% it.

Ladies and Gentlecolts,’

For all those who know that feel.

Press F to pay respects.

Not every author... kkat, somber, short skirts & explosions, just to name 3 of many...

PS. I can so totally hear Scribbler's voice reading this.

With a name like Backdoor Alicorn: You Can Be My Teacher even those kind don't want to read that.

Metaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! But in a good way :ajsmug:

I love it dude. Heh. Ahahahaha!

(Looks at top rated stories. Looks at your stories you wanted featured)
