Backstory for the blog: https://askmorts.tumblr.com/
A story of the first grim reaper, the first necromancer, the beginning of the world, and zombies.
OC only, set in what could be the canon MLP verse but with tonnes of extra stuff I just made up.
I'm not even sure how to tag this.
Contains:
Murder, domestic violence, creepy stalker behaviour, some innuendo, not one but two overpowered alicorn OCs, flesh-eating zombies (does that count as cannibalism?), maybe a couple of other things once I get that far.
Chapters (4)
So, ths isn't actually My Little Pony fanfiction, then? You freely admit it's barely related to the source material, and the only thing remotely connecting to MLP is the characters being ponies?
I can't tell if I should be impressed or annoyed at the fact that this got based the Fimfiction moderators, considering this is original fiction with the word "pony" thrown in. (You probably just used the quick approve option, to be fair.)
I appreciate the honesty, at least. Two overpowered alicorn OCs? More edge than your average Reaper main? Fully succumbing to short chapter syndrome? Sounds like your average edgefic to me. I'm sure someone likes it, otherwise people wouldn't write this... Right?
8112602 Slightly more than just them "being ponies", there's also the mlp-specific races (earth pony, unicorn, pegasus, alicorn), the notion of alicorns being super-powered royalty, the whole "chaos magic is bad and evil", some mention of cutie-marks, the notion of "spirits" as magical beings, (though I've not quite got to it yet), the division of the 3 main races and the structure of pre-equestrian civilisations. There may also be passing mention of dragons, drawing on MLP lore.
To put it another way: I've read plenty of other stories on this site that were even less related to MLP canon, either completely OC based, or using the names of canon characters without really using any of the characterisation that comes with them (especially in humanized fics).
You are correct to say that I used quick-approve, if any moderator wants to declare this “not MLP enough”, I won't complain, but like I said, I didn't think it would be a problem because of other, less related stories that are already on this site.
As for whether anyone like this: I like it. That's why I wrote it. For me. To take the ideas that were buzzing around in my brain, and get them out into the world. For the fun of writing. I chose to share it because hey, maybe somebody else will like it. If not, I don't really care — it's nice when other people say nice things to/about me, but at the end of the day my stories are not written for you, they are only being shared with you.
That explains my motives. I'm not sure about yours. I'm having fun writing stuff I want to write; Why does that bother you?

I don't think that there is any point in trying to belittle someone's work just because it is not "pure" enough for you. I'll be the first to say I respect the author without even starting the story because he has actually gone and written out his words, something I have yet to do for fear of people like you being the first to comment on it.
And to SquiggelSquirrel don't stop writing because of the guy above, I look forward to seeing this story improve, and for that matter reading it.
