Talk:My Little Dashie/@comment-2170890-20120420234910/@comment-146.231.129.49-20120514114153

Yeah, it's been seen like that in certain circles of the fandom almost since its release.

I don't really mind this story. I didn't think it was well written (the pacing's shoddy and the wording's often awkward or cliche or redundant or all three) and I didn't cry after reading it (I actually thought it had a happy ending until I read some of the comments), but I don't hate it.

In my experience, most of the hate is directed at some of the more rabid fans and not the story itself. I thought Little Dashie itself was okay, and RobCake seems like a nice guy.

I understand what it is to be enthusiastic about a story you like (I regularly sacrifice goats to shortskirtsandexplosions, author of The End of Ponies and Background Pony) but sometimes people get tired of seeing "MLD is the best fic ever! It made me so sad!" and that's where the hate tends to come from.
