Re: My Little Pony XLIIV: Season II Ruined My Fanon!
Thanks
Oh, right. I'm not sure where I left my brain just then Thanks
A little variety is always nice, though.
Heh, well I'll give it try at least.
I don't know, I think the first part has more to offer than just explaining why they have the place to themselves. It establishes that it's an anything-can-happen day, and yet one where Pinkie doesn't really have anything planned (maybe that's exactly why it's an anything-can-happen day), and maybe I need to make more of that or something. It also gives a little background for why they're suddenly on a date, although again maybe I could do more with that. And why they're having pasta...
I certainly don't want it any longer than it is, but I think cutting it entirely would be a shame. It provides some background that maybe I just need to use better later on. I'll give it some thought, but I think some of it should be left.

Re: My Little Pony XLIIV: Season II Ruined My Fanon!
So, a dude in a group I'm in on Facebook stars up with his "Mesa JarJar Binks! Mesa gonna corrup all your minds!" stuff, and I inform him I know Six Mimetic Bad---'s who would beg to differ. At that point he says something along the lines of "Let's them come so I can Suck's them!" *Think that in a JarJar voice. Anyway.*
So I link him to Page three of Best Damn Comic Ever and Inform him that I've given the order for use of the Orbital Friendship Canon, and that not even JarJar had a prayer against Canon 4th wall breakers!
Argument won since after about five minutes he hadn't typed a single thing back."I Burn!"

Re: My Little Pony XLIIV: Season II Ruined My Fanon!
Hey guys, got a quick genre question.
So the story I'm writing is set 6-7 years after S2, but it is in a steampunk setting.
Is that technically alternate universe?(Un?)official ponythread element of airships.

Re: My Little Pony XLIIV: Season II Ruined My Fanon!
I'd say it all depends on how you handle the setting. Basically, is it at a point that could conceivably be reached in only 6-7 years? I don't imagine all of Equestria would have converted to full-on steampunk in that time, especially not the smaller towns/villages like Ponyville. If you made it 15-20 years in the future then it's much more likely that everything will have converted to steampunk. Otherwise you might want to call it an alternate universe. (Also claiming it's an alternate universe tends to get the more diehard canon fans to accept your changes. )

Re: My Little Pony XLIIV: Season II Ruined My Fanon!
You could run it as something like a 5-Year Plan implemented by the government (IE Celestia/Luna). Several cities would be made industrial, and then several towns would be force-fed people to make them into new cities (Magnitogorsk was such a city, built entirely to act as a giant steel factory). So Ponyville could be made into a steam town based on the giant deposits of coal near the town (and then explain that the carbon also makes up the gems or something.)

Re: My Little Pony XLIIV: Season II Ruined My Fanon!
Dude....I just made a ponyatar for a RP (actually, put the mark on it is more accurate than "made" it ) and my little sister caught me and freaked out, I denied it, then confessed and she called me a "girly"..... Is that even supposed to happen?
Somehow, those 2 things make me think of my ponyatar all grown up
*sees guards in background with helmets and hoof-shoe/boot-things*
waitaminute OH SNAP!! I didn't even know they had those things!
Gonna have to fix the shoe part, helmet part seems kinda harderLast edited by Luka; 2012-04-30 at 09:02 PM.

Re: My Little Pony XLIIV: Season II Ruined My Fanon!
Well, I hope you are proud of yourself. A few hours ago, I was a powerful magic user, able to swich bodies at ease. My form was that inspired by that of my God, and I could change flesh-puppets more times than you changed lab-coats. Now, you know what I am? I am a corpse! I cannot even fly! No magic, no powers, nothing! I could not even be called a undead creature, because even they could gain power from negtive energy, but now? I feel nothing. From my perspective, I dont even think I have any sort of spirit in this body. Congrates, you have loved my essance out of existance. I dont even know if those are replacable.
When I find a way to regenerate properly, you are going to pay, my dear boy. You see, the cult has lawyers. Many well trained ones that have spent there undead lives studying the unchanging laws of ponykind. You will not be able to fly in Equestrian airspace ever again, and forget about your blasty toys. You will be lucky if you get to keep your chimp, which at this point I see as a worthier foe than you.
It's funny, realy. I may not be able to do much today, but this will be one of my most profitable days in decades.

OOK!!!
Translation muffin engaged *ahem* Normally I would be content to let the professor deal with a situation like this, but you, sir, have crossed the Rubicon, so to speak. Have you ever wondered, my dear corpse, why our Princess Celestia has never before taken steps against a seeming madstallion like the professor? The answer is simplicity in itself; Professor Boffinspark is, and always has been, in the Princess' personal employ. Simply put, your vaunted legal representation has little hope of achieving much of anything against the professor (such is life in a monarchy, I'm afraid). While normally I would find your naïveté in these matters to be quite charming, you have committed one unforgivable faux pas.
Nopony calls me a monkey. Au revoir.

Re: My Little Pony XLIIV: Season II Ruined My Fanon!
...... You know, this is the sort of time when I appreciate my youngest mages sneaking into my room and placing a scroll inside my ribcage. While childish, it gave me a wonderful idea. Also, I am sorry for the inconvinace, good sir. I dearly hope one day we can find a common ground somewhere, someday. I never wished to offend you, please understand, and in hindsight I should have wondered about how exactly Celestia let such testing exist to such degree. Before I am utterly distroyed by your newest launch of that blasted cannon, I shall alert you that Camelshan is wonderful this time of year, and if your interested in vacationing I suggest the Shamaban Hotel. The coffee is fantastic, and if they ask if you wish for dessert, take it. Ila al leka!

Re: My Little Pony XLIIV: Season II Ruined My Fanon!
Having acid poured into your nose without anaesthetic isn't as bad as it sounds.
That's about all I'm willing to say in it's favour though.
I am bedridden for the immediate future, hopefully The Internet will be able to cheer me up.
This story has the dire task of entertaining a man sneezing acid. Let's see how it does.
Spoiler
Normally I find portrayals of Pinkie Pie in writing (and in the show) annoying; so far you've done a good job of keeping her bubbly and happy without getting on my nerves. Hope it continues.
“You're in a mighty fine mood today, deary,” Mrs. Cake said with her usual warm smile as she came out into the kitchen and picked up the twins. “I sure wish I had your energy every morning. You're a real life saver, Pinkie.”
A sudden craving suggested itself to her.
Unfortunately the shipping kind at this point kind of hits the core stumbling point that a lot of shipfics have difficulty with: Assuming attraction. I'm speaking in general terms here, understand, and I've been guilty of this myself. There's a bit of a bad reaction going around to shipfics that just assume that one party is interested in the other without explaining why or establishing it correctly. To really do it right, the transition between relationship statuses needs to be treated in more detail.
However, a deep, slow, emotional buildup to a full-fledged lifelong romance doesn't seem to be the objective of this story so much as pasta jokes; as long as it knows that it wants to be a comedy then it should be easy to overlook the assumption as part of the premise.
Short version is I think it'd be funnier if Pinkie stopped kissing Fluttershy all the time to open the floor to more scope for hijinks.
*Continues*
Pasta ain't complete without cheese.”
pasta tentacle monster
pastapocalypse
Master Pasta
Final Thoughts:
"Well, this has been... strange."
Eeeyup.
It's a good story, solid punchline, but you really blow your hand early with the shipping. Play Pinkie Pie straight, have her completely unaware of any shipping implication, and have Fluttershy working up the courage to kiss her at the end be a surprise to her. That's the only thing I'd change, and I think the story would be funnier for it.
Otherwise, you shipped ponies in a story about pasta tentacle monsters. I think that's kind of the end of my thought process.
