I left for eight years. Now I've returned, a changed beast.

I am used to it at this point.
10857996
I am glad you're enjoying yourself.

UsEd to it but not wonder why you have those tomatoes? I have one word for your zebra empire

Look, if it bothers you that much, go read something else. I'm not going to force you to read any more of this story. It's very clear that you don't like it, nor do you like myself or Shad. I'm not sure what your grudge is, but you can feel free to leave any time you wish. Your actions are your own decision.

Don't take criticism? Well, you really need to think this question "Why you got a lot of tomatoes?" I can answer that question for you if you want.
P/S: You are losing the chance to writing better. Not this.... thing you wrote here.
One more thing, listen the harsh truth better than listen the sweet lie.

With statements such as "why you got a lot of tomatoes" and "you are losing the chance to writing better," I can hardly consider you to be an authority on writing. Poor word choice, poor capitalization, poor punctuation... I don't foresee you and I working together bringing about anything good.
Also, the reason it's being downvoted is because people don't like it. Not that complicated a question. They have their reasons, and often, they're arbitrary.
Good story so far, well written and in character for those featured. Can't say it deserves any down votes, the ratio is most confusing.

I do my best. Thank you for your kind words.

Not sure why the story is being bombed in the first place? It's not like its badly written or terribly out of character. Sorry you have to deal with this.
Before anyone else pulls the trigger on their downvote please remember exactly how stories with the tragedy tag turn out sometimes. If you find you aren't enjoying it maybe tragedy isn't a genre you fully enjoy, and not necessarily the story's fault!

It's being downvoted because of the warning tags, mostly. I'd go so far as to wager that at least half of the people who downvoted didn't bother to read it. They just saw the gore and non-con tags, and downvoted because they don't like those as a subject matter, despite the fact that neither of those has really been a major component of the story yet. There has been some mild gore, but nothing that bad just yet.
It's sad that most of them haven't read the story before downvoting it, especially if they're just doing it for the tags. The reason those red tags exist is to keep people from going into stories thinking that they won't see certain things, and ending up being triggered. If you're not into non-con, then you may not like this story, but don't say we didn't warn you.but just because you don't like it doesn't mean the story's bad. I've written heart-wrenching scenes and characters into such stories before, and I will again, because a work of art deserves to spart emotion.
Anyway, sorry for the tirade. I thank you for your approval, and your continued reading. I'm glad you liked the work enough to say it doesn't deserve the hate. It's comments like this that keep me going, despite the like/dislike ratio. Have a wonderful day.

You could remove sex and non-con, and get less downvotes?
11073159
I could remove the tags, but that would be dishonest. The only way I will remove the sex and non-con tags is if I removed all instances of sex and non-con from the story. However, as as the non-con marks a trigger that leads into the climax, I would need to write in a different way to start the climax of this story. To remove sex, I would need to do a major overhaul, as that is a main method of creating a connection between Cadance and Shining, and letting them see each other more clearly, faster than a conversation would allow.
All of this would be incredibly difficult to implement, however, as this is a prequel to a story that isn't even mine. All of the events in this story have to lead into the next, which had already been long written by the time this one started. If I make it so the stories do not intersect successfully, it creates an emotional whiplash for anyone who goes on to read the next one, on top of the grammatical whiplash you're already going to experience.
I do appreciate your suggestion as an attempt to boost my numbers, but I'm quite certain that outright lying to the readers would generate even more downvotes, and I would end up agreeing with them. The tags exist for a reason, to keep people from reading stories they know they won't like. It has the unfortunate downside of allowing people to downvote stories without having read them, but I would rather have that than have people read partway through, suddenly realize there's a rape scene, and report me to the admins for not tagging my story properly.

I was pondering if a lot of downvotes come from feed-voters, and they don't check description (especially not behind <more> prompt, so further down adding Triggers: tag info in spoiler would cause them to miss it, but anyone serious would still see the warnings.
Oh well, you make good points which overrules all my thoughts, but it was what I had in mind.
This hits deep with recent events in my life. These kinds of reactions that both cadence and shining are having are very reminiscent. Very very good grief reactions
