Ok, lets face it. You have a nice little author making a story, so far so good, you like it. It has its ups and downs, that is to be expected sometimes, we are not perfect after all.
The latest chapters haven’t been too good, or maybe they are even better than before! Something is changing, but you don’t know why or what.
Oh my, what is the author doing? He got an idea from outside his story, and he is trying to add it into it?
Or maybe…oh my god, is the protagonist-slash-secondary character turning into a Stu? It must be your imagination, after all some characters deserve a lime in the daylight chapter. It freshens things up.
And….there you go, the author did something stupid, and the fanfiction is unbearable to read at this point. Now it only goes downhill. There are inconsistencies here and there, plot holes as far as the eye can see. The situation seems so forced you can feel it crawling up your ass and sitting on your lap.
So, do any of you have encountered these amateur authors that add unnecessary stuff into their stories, rendering them inferior or downright stupid from that point on? Why do you think it happens?
Here is my own list of situations i have encountered:
*Story goes well, suddenly feels forced. Then X character turns into a Stu.
*Alicorn OC
*Alicorn OC that is really the author’s personification.
*Amnesiac random person/pony/animal/eldritch abomination ends in ponyville, instant love from everyone.
*Character ends being a total unsympathetic or downright mega dense (Which for some reason happens to Rarity, most of the time).
