Hey Arif, I’ve just about got that story finished. Do you want to pre-read it before I submit?
 
I hope you like my characterization of Downy. Kinda reminds me of a less severe Gordon Ramsey.

@Background Pony #E3F4  
Yeah.  
Arif.. where Upvote?

What about upvote? She should be with her sister!

ya bloody monsters, yerr all proud of yerr actions? are you?
 
dont worry downvote pony, someone will create a wulfing brand derpibooru where a image whit lots of downvotes is a good image and whit lots of upvotes means its a bad image (pretty much the system but inversed) and then we will ban upvote because reasons

Today is a great day to ponykind

What happening here… ooo…

@Joey  
Disappointed to hear that, but I understand the position you are in and will respect the decision you ultimately make out of necessity even if I don’t like it.

@Asharak  
I think their concern was people manipulating for votes. Like, “Twixxie wote this, if you downvote it you’ll make her cry, if you upvote it it’ll make her happy” sort of thing.
 
That’s my guess. I think I saw something somewhere once to support that, but I’m not really sure.

@Cirrus Light  
That’s about what I’m doing with it. So far, I’ve managed to have a story blocked for just about every other reason on there. (hyperbole) and figure, at this point what’s the harm of actually catching em all?
 
Anyways, that does make the meta rule a lot clearer. I don’t think I’m gonna bump into it. Everything I write keeps self contained.

You can’t see it, but she’s covered in blood.

Fortunately, the mark is chaffing and an impression, so it won’t be permanent…
 
This calls for some tender sister love.
 
This gives me an odd mix of feeling a bit bad for drawing that other thing, but also glad and bad that I made something that had such an impression on someone. Glad, because that’s the purpose of art, but bad because it’s a bad feeling. But maybe it helps? I dunno.
 
@Asharak  
Tip; make it work as a standalone story. There were four sisters. This stuff happened. Doesn’t need to actually reference Derpibooru directly, as a website. I think the meta-rule is more about stuff like “a depressed brony writer needs people to upvote his story” or “Trixie tries writing on fimfiction.net and this is her story” and such. But maybe it’s more widely encompassing. Not sure.
 
Also note there’s a lot of ponification OCs aside from these four sisters.

@Arifproject  
:D

that awkward moment when there’s a lot of mod & admin in your post
 
i still can’t get used to this XD
 
 
@Asharak  
pm me the link later if you’ve done it, i would love to read it 👍

@Joey  
:D

@Arifproject I thought about fimfiction, but they have rules against meta stories, and stories that only a small group of people would get. And I think this would be really, really meta.
 
But shoot. I might give it a shot. Worst they’ll do is not approve it for publishing.

@Asharak
 
https://www.fimfiction.net seems like a good place to post fan fiction 👍

Awww, our poor Downvote needs some hugs. And probably a lot of counseling. If I could draw the pones, I would be drawing a picture of DV getting a big dog pile hug from the other derpibooru ponies.
 
I have been thinking about writing a dv fic though. Don’t know where I’d put it though.

@Zeb  
Hide is the least liked pony since the puppeteer.
