Aaaah... Good old days. How long did it take for me to make another of those? I usually make self-promotion and vs nowdays. I nearly forgot the Sue Stats at the beginning!

Nearly.

Power: 3/10 (He is but a failed writer)
Influence: 1/10 (No, it's not a typo, he doesn't even want friends)
Vileness: 8/10 (At least he never committed murder)

I might have to make another meter for wangst, because this guy will not stop bitching about how he doesn't have everything handed to him and everything should be about him. He is the protagonist of the first fic of Friendship is Failure. I am not even a brony and I find the title spiteful and utterly wrong, because I believe in friendship (and yes, it can help even in combat).

Basically, the Mane Six try to help Stone Heart reconcile with his former classmates, not realising Stone doesn't want to be friends with anyone or that he is willing to give anything. He whines about being a trash man, but trash men are useful to society because someone has to do the dirty work. At first everything goes well, and one of the guys who teased him and is the boyfriend of the woman he used to love even helps publish his book!

Stone even momentarily gets praised by everyone for publishing his book. He could truly find happiness... But the moron had to blow it! He started asking the girl he loved why she chose the other guy over him, he showed obsession, they were calm but he started yelling at them... Stone also is very much an admitted author avatar. The girl, Sandy, and her husband were always polite and even tried to apologize, but he simply stormed off, and he found a way to make everything about himself.

“You’re pests! Disgraceful… selfish, inconsiderate ponies and I have no desire to be friends with you nor have I any use for you two." He sees friends as people he can use. Right. Right. Plus, yeah, the criticism he got was not constructive, but did he need to use magic to retaliate? And then he held a grudge and did everything in his power not to reconcile with anyone, even those who defended him.

Plus, the straw critics are implied to simply be joking. When the heroines came to give him another chance to get friends, Stone basically was willing to drag them to court and yelled, and tried to isolate himself as much as he could.

"It's always what THEY wanted, what OTHERS wanted. Well, what about ME?" Yeah, this guy basically has no friends because he can't settle with anything less than what he wants, refuses to take criticism and is just plain miserable and selfish.

Later, it gets to the point where he causes nightmares on anyone who criticizes him because it's easier than him changing. And he will blow a chance of success if it means to stroke his ego.

Stone Heart should be used as a role model for things to avoid as a writer and person.
