XD. Mine was inspired by blackjack, little pip, sweetie bot, Twilight, and such.

Mary Sues needn't be completely flawless. It's fairly common for OCs to have "flaws" that don't actually negatively affect them in any meaningful way.

A regular old earth pony with normal pastel coloring, relatable goals, and a realistic personality can be (and often is) infinitely more interesting than the most unique of all alicorn princesses with a troubled past. I tend to gravitate towards that; characters whose personality, goals, and behaviors are their defining characteristics way before even mentioning how unique and quirky they are in physical appearance.

Not that I can talk too much because I based so much of my own pony OC on a high school obsession with Rick from Casablanca, but still.

Ah. That is what ya mean. Yeah... my oc is always compared to that. It's actually kinda funny because if ya co.pare my oc to the others... I've made it with actual flaws. XD unlike those other ones. Haha. Yeah. I've been told my oc is cliche. Lol. Do you think my oc is cool tho?

Adding tons of quirks to make a character seem unique, especially when there's little precedent for it in the canon, is classic Mary Sue cliché material. People were making fun of the archetypal black-and-red alicorn back in 2012.

Which, I don't bring up just to shame you or anything. I believe it's far more important to write stories you personally can feel proud of than it is to worry about pleasing an audience to the detriment of your own enjoyment. It's just important to be realistic about what you're doing.

Yeah, you're definitely fighting an uphill battle with any kind of quirky, Sue-ish alicorn OC. Any kind of self-indulgent solo sex thing is going to need really solid writing and a character readers are interested in.

Thanks. I hate mobile at time... xD sadly the clopfic got 5 dislikes. I'm guessing that's due to some sort of paragraph error I made. I'll see if I missed anything, butit will take a bit. Either the or people just dont.like my clopfic. XD

There should be a little arrow on the top right side of the story card as it appears in the group folder. That gets you to a dropdown that includes "remove from group" as an option.

I accidentally added this story to the wrong section in a group. I was trying to scroll and it registered my scrolling as a tap... and it ended up in the adventure folder of the group by mistake. Now idk how to remove it from there. Wasn't supposed to be put there... sometimes I HATE mobile...
