1) … Okay… I’m not 100% what you’re talking about, but-

The reason why fanfiction isn’t completely pointless is twofold. A) It’s a training process that involves learning how to properly portray characters you had no hoof in creating, possibly in a world you had no hoof in creating. That is, something outside your comfort zone to make you grow as an author. B) To garner interest from ponies who may be invested in the subject matter you’re using, but have no idea who you are. You want to get some attention; get some ponies to trust you and support your real work.

Take that information and make the best decision you can for yourself.

2) Are you alright? What happened?

3) No offense, but everything that gets attention eventually turns into a game of profits in your world. I can’t change the commercialized reality of your world, but the idea behind the competition is sound.

4) I’m… not? I mean, yeah, I’m not unheard of. But this is tumblr famous. This is tumblr famous. This is tumblr famous. I mean, this guy might not have the most followers, but he’s got multiple posts with multi-thousands of notes.

5) I know this was from last night, but how about Sunday night? I kinda got something to do early tomorrow and I can’t stay up late.

6) Better to be useful than a one-trick pony. Trust me.
