Hmm… I think the
Writer’s Group is a decent one to join (I’ve had a
decent discussion post or
two not to self-promote too much),
Human in Equestria is the biggest group, and you can choose to turn off “story added” or “group thread” notifications… although with the HiE group, I should note, the mods are
AWOL it seems, unfortunately.
Anywho, a tip if you’re making threads is, unless you’re in the self-promotion group (it might be allowed to self-promote on Group Threads, but it depends on which one [neither of the aforementioned groups do]), is to generally try to be decent effort, try to get a discussion going (and probably make sure the group has been active recently, had recent forum posts).
…on the opinions side of things, Displaced is a
generally bad genre on Fimfic, where an OC human character often goes to convention dressed as character, meets Merchant, and goes to Equestria as the character and their powers.
Self-described “fix fics”
aren’t that well-regarded amongst some (even if they get in the Featured Box), because they amount to “author thinly disguises their frustrations over how an episode went as what a
character is saying in their story, if they bother to hide it.” While you might get something out of them, in the end it’s just primarily the author ranting,
secondarily about telling a story, optimistically.
…hope I helped?
