    Bah, they're nothing but a pack of useless showboats, the bulk of the superstructure is nothing but a waste of material. I could produce *turns around* three...four...five...six equally lethal cannons with the same amount of material, all simultaneously operable by one talanted unicorn, instead of needing a crew of unicorns for each.

    What, don't tell me you're surprised I can outgun your entire hit squad by a factor of six without exerting myself; after all, I was one of Princess Celestia's students once.

    Honestly, I'm keeping out of the entire dressmaking operation. She insists it's against tradition for me to see it before the wedding, and I'm not quite crazy enough to argue the point.

    Hahaha oh that's hilarious. Mostly because it was posted by our very own Jakhaivah and was actually linked in ponythread eons ago. Like when the threads were in the single digits. Nothing new under the sun and all that.

    Also, personally I loved Pinkie and the Brain. They had several very good jokes, and the back and forth between the two was surprisingly intelligent. Plus, that one episode where Brain actually could have taken over the world but wasn't trying so was oblivious to the whole thing was spectacular and isn't terribly inaccurate for how to naturally lead people.

    I suppose it would be only polite to attend another scientist's wedding. Perhaps I'll even present you with one of my newest inventions: the BalmasTech Friendship HoofCannon. I'm afraid that the range is still limited to around 6.237 miles, but you can put it and several sorties' worth of rounds in a saddlebag and still have room for lunch.

    I wanted to add, the feeling I got from this story was indeed something like that. Like how it is when you're writing a story and you don't really know where it's going, you make things up as you go along and it may not fit previous events well or the characters might change all the time. I sometimes felt a bit like that with MitM. It was why I thought at one point it might be the CMC telling a story.

    I really think it's important to know that this story follows Yours Truly. I had suspicions with the "Professor Sparkle" and Hoofington bits, but it never really occurred to me to me that it was... more than just little nods at that story. I wasn't reminded of what happened with Rarity and Spike in that story. Maybe that was just me being dense

    When you take that into account it begins to make sense, it becomes slightly comprehensible. And extremely sad. I think the bit with Rarity and Spike was possibly the saddest part of Yours Truly, as I remember it at least. The realization that this story takes place hundreds of years later, with all their friends gone and replaced by fading memories that aren't at all like the real ponies ... that's horrible, and the kind of horrible that is too good to be lost to the reader because they didn't read the first story.

    But then I look at the ending of Easy as Lying, and it seems way too cheery for such a sad story. Did you not intend it to be so sad?

    I really get the feeling a re-reading of this is in order. I rarely do that, but maybe I'll make an exception for this one.

I wanted to communicate what it feels like to be a bad author.

    The more of these reviews I read, the more convinced I become I have totally succeeded in this core objective. I have communicated the emotion I wanted to communicate perfectly. The emotion is not a pleasant one.
    Well then. Hmmm. Well, first off, I think I should have given you a little more credit there. You're an introspective chap after all, you would know what you want out of it, yes.

    Second. Interesting. I won't doubt you when you say that you have successfully transmitted the emotions you wished to trasmit. I will note, however, that the particular mix of emotions in Easy as Lying does not match up with my own emotions of... insufficient creative ability, shall we say? Mostly, there is much more embarassment, and a whole lot less anger and doubt. Just an observation, I'm not sure if a relevant one.

    Third. Stories intending negative emotional impact tend to advertise the fact, because even people who like this sort of thing (tragedy, horror) like to know what they're walking into, if only in very general terms. Tag this one carefully once you publish. But I don't have to tell you that, neh?

    Glad I could help some. I'll actually be happy to read further drafts, although I don't think I can approach this in any other way that I would a particularly intriguing puzzle, an intellectual excerise. Which would make my input rather less valuable, given that the goal is emotional reaction.

She's one of the reasons (Billy West and Rob Paulson being the others) I really want to get into voice acting. Probably a hard thing to get into, kind of requires being in the right location, and having at least a little natural talent, which I most certainly do not. Anyway, almost yay.

    I still remember the watch-throughs when I believ Glass Mouse kept calling Rarity "Fancy" and no one had the wherewithal to notice ^w^

I sometimes felt a bit like that with MitM. It was why I thought at one point it might be the CMC telling a story.

    I really think it's important to know that this story follows Yours Truly. I had suspicions with the "Professor Sparkle" and Hoofington bits, but it never really occurred to me to me that it was... more than just little nods at that story. I wasn't reminded of what happened with Rarity and Spike in that story. Maybe that was just me being dense

    When you take that into account it begins to make sense, it becomes slightly comprehensible. And extremely sad. I think the bit with Rarity and Spike was possibly the saddest part of Yours Truly, as I remember it at least. The realization that this story takes place hundreds of years later, with all their friends gone and replaced by fading memories that aren't at all like the real ponies ... that's horrible, and the kind of horrible that is too good to be lost to the reader because they didn't read the first story.

    But then I look at the ending of Easy as Lying, and it seems way too cheery for such a sad story. Did you not intend it to be so sad?

    I really get the feeling a re-reading of this is in order. I rarely do that, but maybe I'll make an exception for this one.
    *Nod nod* I'll think about what you've said here. Now that I know exactly what the ending looks like I can tweak, restructure and better foreshadow. I will also definitely add a note advising to read Yours Truly first.

    Well then. Hmmm. Well, first off, I think I should have given you a little more credit there. You're an introspective chap after all, you would know what you want out of it, yes.

    Second. Interesting. I won't doubt you when you say that you have successfully transmitted the emotions you wished to trasmit. I will note, however, that the particular mix of emotions in Easy as Lying does not match up with my own emotions of... insufficient creative ability, shall we say? Mostly, there is much more embarassment, and a whole lot less anger and doubt. Just an observation, I'm not sure if a relevant one.
    I used slightly the wrong words before. It's the anger an experienced writer feels for a story that isn't working right. Knowing that you have done better and should be doing better. It's a particular flavour of the sentiment I'm very familiar with.

    But, as with Yours Truly, I'm able to view the entire emotional concept from a fundamentally different light after writing this story. I've made peace with my anger, in a sense? Useful. It's a curiously effective way to work through thoughts that trouble me.

    Third. Stories intending negative emotional impact tend to advertise the fact, because even people who like this sort of thing (tragedy, horror) like to know what they're walking into, if only in very general terms. Tag this one carefully once you publish. But I don't have to tell you that, neh?
    That was something else I was intending to ask, actually. Is just "Dark" sufficient for this?

    Glad I could help some. I'll actually be happy to read further drafts, although I don't think I can approach this in any other way that I would a particularly intriguing puzzle, an intellectual excerise. Which would make my input rather less valuable, given that the goal is emotional reaction.
    I feel like there should be more of an intellectual component than there is currently; I want to make some of the themes more clearly defined and less frustrating and work out more elegant ways to tie it together. I feel like the ending should be slightly frustrating but predominately satisfying. Something to work on idly.

    Best of luck with that. And I do mean it in both senses of the phrase.
    You want me to have good luck and you think I'll need it?

    Okay. I read the "Your's Truely" Fanfic. In all my year (hope that doesn't make me sound too old) never have a seen a fandom this strong. Sure there is differences but out of the years on this planet never has such a community been around. Thank you all for showing me some great fan fics.

    I think you bring a lot of the Sad with you, I'm not convinced it is provided by the Fic itself, Deadly. Hence the mood whiplash you're experiencing at the end, there.
    For comparison, I can't help but visualise the the song "The Boys are Back in Town" in negative, melancholy ways like a man talking to the grave of his old friend, or to a guy in a terminal-illness-hospital or something, which is almost certainly not the intended mental image.

    I should clarify I've no real suspicion of your friend just that's its not a comparison that fills me with confidence since Williams is not really a voice actor and sounds more like a carefully line of careful marketing from somewhere.
    I think the comparison was made based on the variety of voices that they each can produce, but I can understand your point.

    I don't think we've settled on a date yet-
    Oh yes we have, the fifteenth next month.
    Apparently we have set a date after all. Why am I always the last to hear about these things?
    If brute force isn't working, that just means you're not using enough of it.

    That's quite possible, which is why I wondered if Thanqol actually intended it to be sad. Regardless of whether this particular story was meant to be sad, I think the underlying events are very, very sad if you think about them.
