Whaddya think? Too many earth ponies?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Not at all!
I love it when earth ponies get a bit attention.
It feels like most of the people choose unicorns or pegasi because they're more special and they forget about earth ponies...

From left to right:
Sooth Sayer, Psychologist. Cutiemark - Greek Letter for Psi. Years of listening to the mental problems of others has made her quite mellow. She doesn't portray much emotion, and secretly hates her talent. In a relationship with Redcross. Rather quiet and to the point about what she says, if she says anything at all.
Redcross, General Practitioner, Cutiemark - The red plus sign, used by the non-profit Red Cross foundation. He got his name before finding out he enjoyed medicine, it just happened to work out. "His eyes are red, and he always looks kinda mad or cross." Grumpy but respectable. In a relationship with Sooth Sayer.
Copper Ingot, Engineer. Cutiemark - A pile of copper ingots. Called Ingi when he was young, Engi became his new nickname after he got his job. Keeps to himself, no family relationships to speak of - they're all dead. Mentor/Boss of Silver Wind. Tries to invent things with the limited resources he has.
Silver Wind. Engineer in training. Cutiemark - A spiral towards the center of a circle. "Dakota" because she was young around the time their family dog died and her hold brother started calling her Dakota instead. Doesn't know what her Cutiemark means. Schemer, enjoys reading.
Olivetree. Senior Security Guard. Cutiemark - A pair of Olive tree leaves. Nicest guy you'd ever meet. Very fair, perfers to be in his guard kit than uniform. Also goes by "Oliver", in fact it says that on his Uniform and Kit. Spends most of his free time walking around even when he's not on duty.
Shade. Security guard in training. Cutiemark - a silhouette of a pony. Normally a spotless and upstanding individual, has been framed several times by Dakota for things he didn't do. His talent it supposed to make him the unsung hero, however he keeps getting dragged into situations he knows he shouldn't be in. Has a huge crush on Dakota.

Wow, pretty cool
I love the fact that Shade has a crush on Dakota xD
Is there any more artwork of them?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
...
Yes.

No. But I think I may have told you I published some stuff to the MLP community and everyone hated on it.
This is the stuff.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I know. I remember that.
You already wrote so much and I don't understand why they don't like it...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
But yeah, those are the characters from the story I wrote. Well some of them. That's the primary and secondary cast right there. Engi and Dakota are the primary characters, the other four are the lead secondary characters.
Anyways, moving on. Did you browse through the folder? Whaddya think?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The sketches are pretty cool.
First I thought I saw Bun Bun but then I realised that it is one of you characters (Sooth Sayer) xD
Also I love the one with Dakota and the kitty x3

I miss having the drive to work on it daily, like I used to. It's been almost 2 years since I got burnt by the community and I've only had MAYBE a dozen urges to work on it since then.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Then start again :3 Continue your story ^0^
Maybe you could ask people if they wanna do drawings for it. You could upload every chapter here on Deviantart ^-^
Where did you upload it by the way? You showed it to me but I think it was a (more or less) private link, wasn't it?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
There's a line in my story of "Nothing's worth achieving if you can't share it." Everyone hated it, so I have no reason to continue to work on it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
If you think so ._.
I would like to read it...
Now I even have an E-Book-Reader, so I would have more time for it ^^
But still...where did you upload it the last time?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I write stuff, or rather, I wrote stuff with the intention of sharing it. Don't get me wrong, I didn't think my work was perfect. I was expecting some negative reaction to it. What I didn't expect (and what utterly broke me) was the near universal hate from a community that supposedly preaches tolerance. It's what basically killed my interest in the show, caused me to leave the fandom and talk about it in passing other than times like this when I'm fully explaining my situation. Sometimes I feel overly dramatic about it, and talking about it, ruminating like some world war II vet about some horrific battle that he tries not to think about. Not to compare my situation to something as atrocious as that, rather that's just what it feels like.
I saw another example of this recently, from the MLP community to another artist (I won't say what , and I won't say where - for their own sake) that was admittedly pretty good work, and just everyone said that it was crap, because one person said it was crap. I watched this happen in front of me. The bad thing is that the bandwagon is a thing, negative reviews/dislikes will bring you more dislikes/negative reviews. It's an awful feedback system that builds on itself. Sometimes it's well deserved, some things are just BAD: Infinite Warfare and Ride to Hell being two I can name off the top of my head. Other times... maybe I feel differently.
Needless to say, if you wonder why I'm so kind on Deviantart, it's because I can't stand to possibly ever put someone down like... treatment I received. Be the change you seek right? Giving you points is just a symptom. You're not the first I ever handed a boatload of points, Being the last person I gave points to. Give her gallery a browse, she's amazing at drawing. Got mentioned in Project: Comment, a group I'm part of. All I ever wanted to do was contribute to something I loved, and now I'm left with nothing else better to do than be nice to those that... get to contribute to something they love.

How about...a collaboration?
You send me one chapter and I'll do a drawing/sketch for it.
You could upload it on here on Deviantart. You could try again.
Do you really want to give up?
What do you think my classmates thought about my drawings? Do you think they liked it?
They laughed. Untill I cried and then the keep laughing.
But I'm still here. I still upload my drawings. And it would be so heartwarming to see you continue writing again.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I think that would be so cute, but I feel like that would be 1) a waste of your time. You've got better things to be working on then some washed up story that everyone hated. 2) The postings would be few and far between, it would take forever. If I were to hypothetically publish it again, I won't, I'd proof-read to all hell and maybe brush up a few things.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I take that as a yes xD
Could you send me the first chapter again?
The drawing would look like this: nuumia.deviantart.com/art/I-lo…
Let's try it
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
If I posted them on Deviantart, they'd probably never get read tho... ;a; Plus I don't wanna be found out by the community again. I just disappeared after what happened. ;a;
idk what to do
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
But now you've got friends by your side :3
We can do this!
And if the community tries to hurt you we will protect you.
You are a good writer and I believe that you can get even better. But you have to try.
We can try it together.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
And what if people still hate it? It's been two years but I have no reason to believe the general opinion will have changed.
I don't want people to associate MY FAILURE with YOUR QUALITY WORK.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
But we are here to support you.
You already have two fans
Please! Let's try the first chapter.
If they post more mean comments than friendly and helpful ones then I will never ask you again about this if you want to.
Please qwq

Okay so maybe I'm considering saying yes.
I asked two of my friends, one of which you can find here these are people I know out in the real world. I sent them this conversation. Argentum another friend of mine (out in RL). I had a discussion with these two regarding whether or not I should concede. Okay let's say, I say yes. I hand you the first chapter and you dislike it, then what? This gamble is for nothing? I'm warning you right now the base story I have is over ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY THOUSAND (170 000) words, and it's not finished. I never finished it. I was so desperate for community feedback I posted a few chapters. The hate I got in return made me abandon it, my girlfriend was astonished. I still have the skype conversation:
[3/16/2015 22:24:22] Hayley: My heart dropped like a fucking china plate after seeing how upset you were about this. And I got so fucking angry after reading those stupid comments.
[3/16/2015 22:24:23 | Edited 22:24:25] Hayley: :c
[3/16/2015 22:24:36] Reach: I wish Emilia were here.
[3/16/2015 22:24:44] Reach: Her charm might have been able to cheer me up.
[3/16/2015 22:24:56] Hayley: ;^;
[3/16/2015 22:25:05] Reach: I'm sorry I failed you Hayley.
[3/16/2015 22:25:16] Reach: People are gonna find out you drew this stuff and you're gonna get shit too.
[3/16/2015 22:25:45] Reach: Right now I'm just trying to work on damage control. But I'll make sure you don't get too much hate.
[3/16/2015 22:25:51] Hayley: You did not fail me at all.
[3/16/2015 22:26:49] Hayley: And if people come after me, I'll just tell them to fuck off and mind their own goddamn business.
I would've cried if that happened to me some other time. But now I'm just too fucking angry to give a shit about what people are gonna say.
[3/16/2015 22:27:51] Hayley: You don't have to worry about me. I'll handle the shitstorm myself, if there will ever be one.
God 2015 seems like forever ago. It's been going on two years since I tried posting this. Maybe I'm just stupid for considering another shot at it. But on Deviantart I could definitely police it better. Plus I'm not that well known on DA, not too many people will see it. Maybe you should see the comments I got before you leap into this decision. My fear then was any art drawn would draw bad attention to the artist, at the time my Girlfriend. If you choose to do this, you're on the hotplate and we might literally get half way through only to have me drop the ball. I lost sleep over what happened the first time, it effected me that badly.
Back to my first concern, you read it and dislike it. What happens then? Oh and be sure to answer all questions and concerns I've brought up here.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oooookay...So your questions are:
1. What if I don't like the story?
2. Do I want to see the old comments before we get started?
and 3. What if they start to hate me?
Right?
1. You already sent me a part of the story and I liked it ^^
There were some parts I didn't understand but that wasn't your fault but mine because I'm still not as good in reading English as I should be.
If there is something I don't like I would let you know. I could even tell you my opinion after every chapter if you want ^^
But please don't laugh at me if I misunderstood something qwq
2. No, I don't want to see them. I would like to start from the beginning. We should leave the past behind. If you still think that you want to prepare me of what MIGHT come then you can show me those comments of course.
3. Well I'm not a little kid anymore ^^ I can defend myself well now. I don't really care anymore about what others think (as long as it isn't constructive criticism).
Now my question to you:
What if I fail? I don't know how good my pictures will be.
"The drawing would look like this: nuumia.deviantart.com/art/I-lo… "
Are you ok with that? Is that really enough?
Anyways...I would really like to start it
I also talked to Tillie-tmb. And I asked if she would like to draw something for the story too and she liked that idea
So if you want some more help...
T:"That sounds really fun, and I would be willing to contribute."

I will start you with a side-story in progress. This sets the stage for all stuffs I work on, and it's not finished. Find a scene you like, don't tell me which one you plan to draw. I mean am I really going to say no to free art that I literally couldn't draw myself?
Oh, and be sure to comment, critique my work, and uh note any glaring spelling errors you find. Better you than the rest of this toxic community.

You're not to share these links with anyone, someone finds it here that's fine. Just don't go sharing it. This is Pre-War Era so the image I sent you earlier, they aren't even alive yet. No Dakota here. You'll have to push through the pre-war stuff to get to the post-war stuff.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
First of all don't worry ^^ I won't share it :3
And I'll tell you if I find any mistake (I won't find any I guess XD)
And is it ok if I ask you if I don't understand something?
It could take a while until I'm done with reading ^^''
Also....Could you do me little favor?
I'm starting an ask-my-OC's thingy...And well.......It would be great if you could take a look at it from time to time and tell me if I made mistakes 
Only if you want to of couse! I'll do those drawings for you anyways.

I understand that is already feeling overworked with their own assignment. I only mentioned them for example. I've given points to others, I wasn't crying for help saying "Oh-Woe-is-Me" "Life is sooo hard." -insert baby crying here-. At least the baby had a legit reason to cry.
Back to point, mentioning Tillie was just a case point. If she's feeling over worked, I don't want her to do anything for me, at all. If anything I should be doing something for you guys, both of you. I'll pick up some more points to donate later.
Regardless, I want to stress that I'm not, and haven't asked you guys for anything. On that note, I'd politely request that both of you deeply reconsider what you've said you were interested in doing here. I don't want to restart only to have one of you bail for x reasons, regardless of how valid it is. That'd just rekindle my previous thoughts that Everything I've ever worked for Is a lost cause. Which I had thought for going on two years until you two showed up.

Tell you what, Reach. It goes without saying that my own comic and personal projects are where I plan to spend the majority of my time, as there is much to do. Aside from school for an 8th grader, I also now have a coming Shakespeare practice for Love's Labor Lost, in which I will play Boyet. However, I sometimes feel the need to escape from my normal activities and try something new. Just so you do know exactly where I stand so you don't have any wrong ideas or incorrectly based hopes. I am not able to offer myself as a major contributor to your work that you ended up putting aside. I wouldn't deign to undertake such a project, but would enjoy "dabbling" in something from time to time as something fun on the side and an escape. That may not be what you would need at all, or what Nuumia is offering either... Anyway, I want to make sure we are clear and you don't get disappointed by anything. I don't want to misrepresent anything.

Great work on the flowers, Dreamy looks a little bit odd being situated like that on the grass. It looks like she's floating a bit when she actually isn't.
Top notch, though.

Thank you
I'll try to chance that ^^
And yeeeeeah....the flowers......they took me a half eternity 0u0
