Aww, I bet they're just more realistic :) I seriously doubt there's anything that would be unacceptable in Serbian cyrillics.

This is a picture of the Macedonian letters in my book:
I like how the 'f' is written in particular; that is a letter that I normally have major
problems with, but the Macedonian version here looks more manageable to me :)
It's hard to know what the range of normal/acceptable handwriting is when you've only
ever seen a few examples in textbooks or exercises for small children on the internet!

Your Cyrillic cursive writing looks prettier than mine and most of the people I know. :D

Haha, I wish that was my handwriting :D Unfortunately it's just the example writing in my Macedonian textbook that I am trying to copy!
I posted an example of my writing on Twitter and Serpent noticed that some of the letters looked a bit odd, so I have been searching for examples of different handwriting styles since then to practise :)

Well I didn't really say odd, just that the sharp corners/squared shapes looked like excessive effort, for example in т, п, и. (I was wrong about writing т like m, btw - that's limited to Russian and other East Slavic langs)
Nikolić, can the horizontal line in Нн be more curvy btw? At least in Russian that looks more natural but I'm trying not to make assumptions:D And I suppose a cursive Ф often looks like the regular one, just like with Р?
BTW you're lucky that the lines above т and п seem to be required in Serbian and Macedonian. In Russian they aren't, and the ones below ш are less common too :D Like this. And this. (here is one part explained :D) I sometimes need to count the number of loops haha.

I've found Serbian Cyrillic a bit easier to use than the Russian and Ukrainian versions. I agree with Serpent on the usefulness of mandatory extra lines above п and т and below ш. Sometimes I need to be careful with и, л and м though regardless of the Cyrillic variant.
It's a bit of a wonder for me that the extra lines for п, т and ш are deemed optional in Russian and Ukrainian.

Haha, I posted the same picture :P
And well, we write п as n and т as m (or just like the block т, really), so we only need to differentiate ш and и. Which often follow one another anyway, so any long sequence of loops is likely to be иш, ши or иши :D
Edit: okay, I forgot about the м and л of course. But it's always clear where they begin. Or maybe I write them out more carefully because my name starts with M and I simply like L, haha.
Found one more Serbian example on Unilang btw:
I like the H here :)
