Re: My Little Pony XXIV: Now About 200% Longer Than Firefly
Poor, poor Luna. If the implication of her feelings was sad enough then actually seeing them articulated with such great eloquence is almost more than I can bear. Still though, I'm intrigued that Midnight's magical essence is gravitating towards the Everfree Forest. Given what we know about the adventure story, it seems like a very powerful destiny has been leading her towards that dark place from the beginning of her life.
I come and go where the wind blows me.

Re: My Little Pony XXIV: Now About 200% Longer Than Firefly
Alright, was hoping to catch up on the thread before bed, but that doesn't look like it will be happening. I got too caught up in some of the posted stories.
@Lix:
I read it, but wasn't able to get into your writing style. I'll try again at some point after I've had a good nights sleep.
Agreed on all marks, except having a bakery in walking distance.
Read through this, have a few things. Note: some of this might be the fact that, with the exception of an hour and a half nap, I've been up for...26 hours now, so take it with a grain of salt.
Spoiler
It had been evident from the moment Luna arrived at Canterlot that her sister had been planning her return from the moon in way than one.
The main time that petitioners came to request the court was now in the evening
That wasn't even getting into the hundred, if not thousands of works of art, story, and song that had been made about the grace and beauty of the night.
Finally having a moment to herself, she strode on to her balcony, and looked out on Equestria.
Finally having a moment to herself
She strode on to her balcony
And looked out on Equestria
Finally, having a moment to herself, she strode on to her balcony and looked out on Equestria.
The last two thoughts go together, and thus do not really need that comma there. Only the first thought is really separate from the rest.
could never happen if she were to grow up in the court of Canterlot, and be surrounded by it's chaos.
To see it done right, the very next sentence has an example:
She would be seen as a pawn to be used by nobles jockeying for position and favor, and that thought terrified Luna.
"Princess? We have lunch prepared for you in the dining room." Her thoughts were pierced by the words of one of her handmaidens, and she nodded.
Oh yes, Luna was well aware of the irony of her situati-
”Princess?” interrupted one of her handmaidens. “We have lunch prepared for you in the dining room.”
Her thoughts now jumbled by the words of the servant, she nodded and said, “Very well, I will be there in a moment.”
Opinions:
Spoiler
As per norm, I am enjoying the story aspects quite a bit. Take or leave this advice as you like, and double check to make sure I'm not the one screwing up here. I'm liking where this story is going, and cannot wait to see it end.
And to close this post, as a note to myself for when I start playing catchup in the morning: I left off at Esper's post that had "excerpt 3" on it.

Re: My Little Pony XXIV: Now About 200% Longer Than Firefly
I'm just not sure I want to RP a pony who is pretty much just a ponyfied, gender bent version of me. I mean, I'm sure I could come up with much more interesting characters than that
More like hindsight Which is just as easy as making mistakes
I'll try to post more pieces, though right now I'm having a bit of trouble writing Maybe I need to focus my mind on other things for a day or two.
Thanks. If I were to use the idea, I'd just like the fun of trying to come up with a song myself. Even though I'm pretty sure I suck at songs

Re: My Little Pony XXIV: Now About 200% Longer Than Firefly
I wouldn't count on it, I'm not gonna be using that yet. I mean... I won't be using that ever. Yes I will.
I still have a few months of childhood (or, teenagehood rather) and I intend to milk it as much as possible.
I don't want to be 20.

Re: My Little Pony XXIV: Now About 200% Longer Than Firefly
That is true. I think I skip almost 3/4 of the thread because I'm not invested in some themes. That is sad since I miss a lot of good stuff.
I was just kidding. It just reminded my of an internship were I worked for (nearly) free, and thought this would be great for my resume and guarantee me a job. Then came a long, hard year of job search. And the realization that a lot of people with less work experience got jobs while I didn't. There is still a little bit of bitterness left from that.

Re: My Little Pony XXIV: Now About 200% Longer Than Firefly
Yeah, it is quite disjointed. This is meant to be more a scenery-porn-character-setting introduction. When I've worked out what's actually going to HAPPEN, then I'll actually have character interaction... >//>
Good idea!
SpoilerThank you! I think I don't really want to do the 'how they got together', mainly because I don't want to write /another/ OC shipfic. This is more going to be about the foals, I think.
Having a self-important, but essentially powerless first person omniscient narrator is pretty much my signature thing.
And there's loads of set up because I hadn't/haven't worked out a plot yet.
Also, the next excerpt is sitting open and done right now, but I don't want to override Lixie and her bit with another one to distract other ponies.
Think you might be right.
Everything else was fantastic. I thought that the tense shifts made perfect sense in that narration style and that the writing in general was very solid. Are you going to expand on this?
Yes, assuming I can think of a plot.
I mentioned that Starry Storms was named after her auntie Starry Notions, right?
Oh goodness, how to explain? Surprised it needs explaining XD
I'm assuming it would be thus;
|,||,
Where the ring finger is tucked in and the other three extended, aye captain?
Could somepony explain this? *confused*
Here is a link. You should NOT follow it. Instead of following it, you should follow THIS link and read the entirety of homestuck-although it starts slow, it is the best, awesomest, heartrendingest, confusingest, BESTEST comic. No exceptions.
But if you have no intention on reading any time soon, or will risk a spoiler, follow the first link, read it, and read the next ten or so pages, and see Vriska with All of the Luck, rolling 8^Y where Y=8.

Oddly interesting. Fits the thread canon, if not the story canon (though I think it fits the story canon well).
...
This means Midnight has her own fanon! Huzzah!
Ooh! Ooh! Me! squee~
More squee~
Because according to the Old Ways, saying such things as ALL MY LOVE within three days of a Unicorn's conception is taken literally by the fates.
I thought you were one of my papas?
I like to think so too, just not very loudly around momma Song. She likes to shake things up on me.
... Most squee~!
I like the writing style. Your punctuation choices are different than I'm used to but that is probably entirely stylistic. All I know for sure about punctuation is "for the love of all, USE SOME!".
Fun read, fun reference. I shall have to dive back to thread 7 or 8 and get out the reference pictures you made :3
Unless you care to try to newer, more in-depth pony generator? ;3
Oh, the pic I use as a reference for Faithful Song? I use this one.
Spoiler
Now... I can't remember... what tremendously talented artist was it who did that for me?
Or ask nicely.
That is awesome! Congratulations on going off to University! It's an incredible experience, and one I can guarantee you'll love. What major, if you don't mind me asking?
(snrk)
Aye. My protege and I seem to enjoy it. Hel, reading the thread, catching up on the lives and doings of my friends, experiencing their personalities... Pony thread gets stressful if you fret about playing catch up, but otherwise its R&R.
I was going to point out the difference between gender and sex, but then I realized that we aren't actually, physically being genderbent, and would look like a mule.
Too bad though.
I'd hug you, but I'm still kinda bruised. So you'll have to settle for a hearty backslapping and being Chummily chummy.
Hahar!
Of course he does! Excessive civility at the strangest times is an old Irish custom. Like fighting at weddings and funerals, or buying the victor of a fight a drink even though you're too concussed to really count the change proper.
I just like the idea of kidnapping all wrong cause it's funny and sweet.
Also people would get annoyed with me being a literal goddess if I weren't playing her/me as a complete naive ditz half the time.
Hm. I'll try... *adds to queue*
... *adds to queue*
Awww~
Awww~
*adds to queue*
I'm caught between "oh ewwwww" and "but Lix doesn't bend her own gender ".
Thanks!

Some of the scenes were corny, but then I remembered we (on average) are probably at least twice the age of the target audience.

Re: My Little Pony XXIV: Now About 200% Longer Than Firefly
So let's see
S2Ep2
Spoiler
RarityxRock is now officially canon. Missed the breakup because of a stupid ad popping up, but I'll catch up with that when it hits YouTube.
Twilight's book obsession is now officially canon. I lol'd.
Celestia is now officially a god, and has had Twilight writing her those letters for the sole purpose of using them at this point. She knew.
And poor Luna is now more forgotten than ever. She had NMM taken off that window and replaced with Discord. Poor Luna.
Overall pretty good episode. Still felt a little rushed or forced or something at times. Not entirely sure what it is, but some parts just felt a little off. Can't quite put my finger on which ones though, and it's tricky to pinpoint it in an episode where everything's going insane.

Episode Two and Stuff
SpoilerSo, did anybody else notice our favorite background ponies during the Star Wars ending? And is anybody else disappointed because there will be no more Discord now?It's been a bit, GitP. If you're reading this, you're either digging through old stuff, or I've posted for the first time in forever.
If you want to stay in touch, reach out to me on twitter (same username).
The best answer is always to ask your DM.
Unless you're the DM, in which case you should talk to your players.

Re: My Little Pony XXIV: Now About 200% Longer Than Firefly
This is my first impression so take it with a tiny grain of salt... maybe it'll change a bit after watching it a few times.
S2
SpoilerI'm sad to say it but... that was lame!
"Lame" was my exact thought several times during the episode.
It seemed rushed and somehow Twilight single-hoofedly saved all the others... by waving her magic little horn at them. I had really hoped they'd use the fact that Discord had to force the spell on Fluttershy, but they didn't. A perfectly good plot hook, left unused. That's so sad.
And Discord's end... I'm not sure "lame" begins to cover it. "Oh my, you've managed to break the spell I put on you, you have the Elements, I'll just sit here and laugh at you while you beat me." He was even more clueless than Twilight, and at least she has the excuse that she's always been kinda slow to figure out all the obvious things.
And I'm still not happy about Discord's power level, none of my earlier concerns have been resolved. But that's now the absolute least of my concerns regarding this thing.
I'm sad :(

Re: My Little Pony XXIV: Now About 200% Longer Than Firefly
Ep2:
Spoiler
More then a vibe. They even include some of the minor details. Camera angles. Spike is R2 and gets the same look from Twi as Luke. And of course the music. Its almost entirely then end of Episode IV.
And felt like they trimmed a three episode event into a two episode one. 44 minutes isn't a lot of time. So yeah just a bit corny.
I think the Buffalo were awesome too. Unless its Twilight charging ponies and force her horn on them.... oh gods
A specific bit on Discord:
SpoilerFinal difference between Q and Discord. Q is not a dirty rotten liar and cheater who makes up ****.

Re: My Little Pony XXIV: Now About 200% Longer Than Firefly

SpoilerEverything that Rarity said in that episode was golden. EVERYTHING.
"Let us never speak of this again."
"I thought we agreed never to speak of that again."
"Fluttershy, be a dear and fly faster!"
Also, Flutterjerk was HYSTERICAL.
"THIS IS MY BOOK AND I'M GOING TO READ IT". I must get this as a soundbite on my phone so that I may play it whenever I want.
As my little sister pointed out, someone, somewhere, is going to draw a picture of Trollestia sending letter after letter with an evil grin on her face. Saving Equestria and causing Twilight's assistant stomach problems at the same time? Priceless.
And Rainbow's face when the ballet-dancing buffalo danced by. Even more priceless.
Oh, and Discord's behavior right at the start of the episode. Exactly what I hoped he would say. "Hello, I'm DISCORD."
Overall? I quite enjoyed the episode, even more than I was expecting, and WHY MUST THERE BE A GAP
I WANT MORE PONY

Re: My Little Pony XXIV: Now About 200% Longer Than Firefly
But how did she get the tape on?
S2Ep2
Spoiler
Yeah, I'm going to agree that them overcoming Discord's spell probably could have been done a little better. Twilight getting back the letters from Celestia was a great way to start it, but the others were kind of lacking.
I'm mostly fine with Discord just sitting there and letting them blast him, mostly because his power level really is stupidly high. He's proven they can't use the elements and is confident that they're just wasting his time. My main complaint with it all is that we now know the colour changes were visible, which means Discord had to have completely ignored the fact that the ponies had their colours back and as such might be an actual threat.

Re: My Little Pony XXIV: Now About 200% Longer Than Firefly
Season 2
SpoilerWell then. It was.... good. Some really good moments. Ending was... blah. Highlights from my notes:
Rarity knows Kung Fu! Awesome!
Back in Ponyville? So much for the Everfree forest theories.
Well, looks like Twilight is the butt monkey this episode.
The princesses must be really mad about the whole 60 second day/night thing.
And they get even greyer.
The rock is called Tom XD
Aha! They can see the grey. It's not just for the audience.
The elements were in the book? Seriously?
"Big crown thingy" Oh Twilight XD
New Rainbow Dash! I love it :D
And the elements don't work. Surprise.
"Discord rules, Celestia drools"
"Make it stop!" Oh, poor Spike. :( And I saw a fanart that was the same thing as this o_o
Oh Gods, Granny and Big Mac ._.
Unicorn mind meld!
"I had the most terrible dream" Don't tell her the truth! Aj, I'm looking at you!
And then she gets genuinely mad at Discord. Fluttershy is best pony.
And he's back to stone! Good riddence! Not put that statue somewhere safe this time!
Ugh, stupid Star Warsy ending. Well, at least we know that they're famous now.
So, I enjoyed it, but it still felt... I dunno... off in places. The ending felt rushed. Discord should have been smart enough to notice that they were no longer under his spell. Instead he just sits there like a melon while the elements do their thing.
Best part: "Congratulations! You're the new Rainbow Dash!"
Worst part: Discord is actually kind of a lame villain. Oh well.
EDIT: Oh, and no song this episode? What a gyp!
Agreed on many points.
EDIT:
SpoilerExcept the way they got out of the greyness. Remember, Twilight's spell just forced them to remember their friendship. It wasn't so much magic removing the hypnosis, more allowing them to break free themselves by showing them their trueselves. I guess your milage may vary on that, but I'm okay with it.
Also, Discord is my new hurt target in the MLP heal/hurt game. Who's with me?Last edited by Beacon of Chaos; 2011-09-24 at 08:53 AM.
