I've read two MLP:FIM fanfics so far, both of them on Equestria Daily. One had such horrible grammar I could barely finish it. The other was actually really good until...well...Apple Jack kissed Rainbow Dash. I didn't keep reading out of fear that something even more inappropriate would happen. I thought Equestria Daily didn't allow that sort of thing, but I guess I was wrong. I'll make sure to read the descriptions more carefully the next time I decide to read a fanfic there. Though I sorta lost my taste for them after that.
What are you DOING man! You are ignoring the GOOD stories! I'll help link them to you! They are all 6-Star stories (Stories which earned MANY 5-Star ratings) and I can guarantee that you will find one that that you will like, because they pretty much cover every subject! And don't let the descriptions fool you. Just because a description is short DOESN'T mean the actual content is bland! Give them ALL a try!
PS: Stories marked with Yellow Stars (
*) are personal favorites of mine and stories marked with TWO Red Stars (
**) are not only personal favorites of mine, but also of the community and are HIGHLY reccomended.
