Question: When you guys read stories about human men + ponies, do you prefer them to be called “anon” every time, or to have legit human names like “Blake” or “Kyle” or “Jaquavious”? I can see good or bad in both decisions but I just want to poll the anons here. On one hand, it can feel kinda awkward writing a regular human's name over and over again (moreso than writing "anon" surely) but on the other hand, I feel like "Anon" is overdone.
>>41657566the whole point of anon in stories is he's a self insert of all of us
Anon only for self insertion purposes.
>>41657567>>41657568This, I don't want some random Kyle in Equestria I want to be there. If you're going to write it that way just make him a horse
>>41657566Shieeeet, I need some Jaquavious X Zecora
>>41657574>officer, your weapon you must sheathe, It is clear he cannot breathe!
I don't see the point in using a real human name unless its yours and you're just writing the story for yourself.
>>41657574>>41657586Kek this is hilarious
>>41657566I always imagine 'Anon' being less of a self-insert, and more of the best version of us collectively. That is, he is what we should strive to be as autists ourselves; whilst, he has his own autistic personality.
>>41657586>”aye mang I bagged up a snowbunny dawg, pony boys finna pissed off dawg I stole they hoe mang, ayo here she comes dawg she’s fine asf mang >Woah Nelly walks in
>>41657566I literally installed an extension in the browser to replace the main character's name with Anon if its not that.
>>41657639Would you mind sharing? I hate when they make a random Joe the protagonist instead of just giving it the universal self insert name
>>41657566>or “Jaquavious”Yes

>>41657566It should just be "Anon". I can't personally selfinsert as Anon, as I'm just too introverted and avoidant to be le cool green man, but I'm fine with Anon since I instead just regard him as more a personification of /mlp/ as a whole than any specific one of us. And I'd rather read about /mlp/ in Equestria than some jackoff named Kyle.
>>41657566Follow up question: So obviously the universal consensus seems to be that "Anon" is far better than a specific human name, but how about this: does that cause any difficulties when "Anon" in Story A is written as a grumpy nerd who doesn't want to meet ponies, and "Anon" in Story B is written as a charming, charismatic man who loves them, and "Anon" in Story C is a Christian man who is neither like Story A or B Anon?
>>41657712>>41657639>>41657594>>41657590>>41657572>>41657568>>41657567Meant to say this to all (you)
>>41657751Define "difficulties". From a consumer perspective, no. I have no trouble accepting that anons from two different stories are two different people.
>>41657751>>41657754No
>>41657710LMAO that shit is perfect
>>41657751No, not all Anons are the same guy, he’s just whatever the story needs him to be.
>>41657710Perfection.
>>41657566Anon is a shitbag excuse to try to pretend the character is as dysfunctional as you are.
>>41657751the whole point of a self-insert character is that he is as featureless as possible. There is no canonical anon, ideally he has just enough traits to make the story work and the reader fills in the rest
>>41657712Take your fucking meds and stay offline.

>>41657763>>41657764>>41657771>>41657781Thank (you) all once again for your valuable insight! This will be very helpful for me when I write my own story.
>>41657751not at all. that's the beauty of the character of anon. he isn't.
>>41657647https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/find-and-replaceNeeds a bit of regexp knowledge to make it work properly.Eg if you just replace "Ares" with Anon it will turn mares into manon. Match the word beginnings and ends.
>>41657751of course not, he's a blank slate>>41657782no idea what you're on about, but you first
>>41657566Anon stories just feel different. I've never thought of him as my (a 4chan user's) self-insert, for me he's a specific character. Or maybe even a character archetype. I just approach anon stories with different expectations in comparison to "traditional" hie fics, i expect them to be more humorous and unhinged (but at the same time not bound by comedy).

>>41657945This.
>>41657945>>41657950Only one could've posted this...
>>41657945>mares are built for big human cock
>>41657958ok but not with your fat ass, go prove that you were made for the treadmill
>>41657965Twilight is NOT fat, this is a slanderous lie
>>41657566I see anon as the author self-insert

>>41657567>BlakeOnly Blake I ever knew was a retarded skater. >KyleWent to prison for armed robbery.>Jaquavious NJust stick to Anon. I don't want overtones of "urban" or suburbia injected into my story about ponies. I'd rather not think too much about the human side of things at all.
>>41657566i always edit the name if the story is good anyways
>>41657984>Humans are built for tight alicorn pussyFTFY
>>41657566The problem with most named protagonists is that they are often a Selfinsert/ideal version of the author. while anon can suffer from the same mistake, he's often more distant than the average namefag. the only good named protagonists i ever found where often parodies of a media (jonny bravo in equestria)

I used to hate how overused "Anon" is in stories, but I'm at peace with it now if the story is either well written or a shitpost.I tend to think of Anons as an entirely different species than regular humans.
>>41658844the humie fetishist are gonna have a beggars can't be choosers moment
>>41658853Because they're green and have no eyes/noses/mouths?
>>41658882That, their above average penuses, their eratic behavior, and more. I've been meaning to write a story where an anon speedruns equestria.
>>41658887Speed running equestria means that there is an end. You should know the ride never ends.
>>41658887There was this isekai manga where this dude was transported to the game he was a recognized champion speedrunner who invented techniques in. Needless to say, applying speed runner mentality and physics to a typically railroaded experience is fucking hilarious. Do it anon.
>>41658820Pussy. I'm retarded.
Zebras are loose.Source? Human intuition.
Why must the human constantly cover up his big beautiful penis like a whore?
>>41657618Kek
>>41657566Entirely depends on if you're giving the guy a character or not. But if you are giving him a character, it had better be an entertaining one.
>>41658033>giant monkey cock>monkeyYou know, the real reason why ponies like that is because Sun Wukong, the Monkey King, was given the title "Keeper of the Heavenly Horses" when he was first invited to Heaven. He was actually really good at the job, and ever since has had both a natural and divine affinity with horses.
>>41657710sheeeeiiiiit
>>41657699KeK, it's kino!
>>41657566Anon always, if there's more than one human, I use more anonymous names, like Cog (Incognito), Nemo (Nemo is a Latin word meaning "nobody",) etc. If I did ever use a human name, I'd use the most descriptive one of all:John Smith.
BBC? I prefer PPC.Petite Pony Cunt.
Jaquavious would get his buck broken by big Mac

>>41657586>>41657591Aren't you all like 30+? Why are so many of you retarded?
>>41658295I'm gonna impregnate all of these mares. No matter how much times and tries it takes.
>>41657710He's gotta be madder about being called a monkey, but good otherwise.
>>41660938>age cures retardation
>>41660938I'm sorry, did I insult your sacred nigger?
>>41661979you need multiple tries? pathetic
>>41657566If it’s a canon character I prefer anon since he’s all of us and canon characters should belong to everyone. When it’s an OC pony I prefer the man to be an OC too, because it’s more creative like that. Heck even FOC x creators self-insert might be neat since the writer should live his fantasy mare/filly more than anyone.
>>41660938You’re like 13, you have no concept of what is normal thinking for different ages.
>>41657586>>41657618>>41657710>>41658844
Depends on the number of characters and style of the story.
