Re: My Little Pony XXVI: Applebloom to Zecora!
I just imagine that scene unfold:
Luna and Celestia, after a long day, collapse into bed. Luna has her own, but is too tired to go all the way across the room, and this will annoy her sister besides. As they lay there, laughing and chatting, Derpy calmly walks in, past the guards. Without a words beyond a few inquisitive hums, she climbs up on the bed and shimmies under the covers between the too. "Ah yes, this will do nicely" she states cheerfully. She pulls out a bubblepipe and monocle and sits up, staring at the far wall as though in deep introspection. Finally, without a word, she falls over, instantly asleep. Celesita and Luna can only stare, mouths agape. Derpy begins to snore.

Re: My Little Pony XXVI: Applebloom to Zecora!
Wow, that was strange. Apparently page 7 was a shy one.
One could almost say... A Fluttershy one! Oh ho ho!
(Seriously, two ponies double posted and somepony posted again specifically to force the page and it STILL didn't go. Jeez.)

Re: My Little Pony XXVI: Applebloom to Zecora!
Ponies not only make ME want to be a better person than I was before they entered my life, they make me want to HELP OTHERS be better people too.
And that is a GOOD thing by any definition.

Re: My Little Pony XXVI: Applebloom to Zecora!
I lol'd at that one. Derpy blowing bubbles is just the icing on the muffin. Which would make it a cupcake, but I didn't want to go there. Except I just did. Oops.
*reads the other comments* Oh gods Derpy roofied Celestia and Luna?
Through The Eyes of Another Pony
I feel obligated to point this one out a lot because even though it seems to have every element which should make it a horrible Mary Sue fanfic, it isn't one. It's like the opposite of that actually.
It could also use some ratings, so if you like it please vote for it. Some folks voted low without even reading it.

Re: My Little Pony XXVI: Applebloom to Zecora!
I absolutely love this fic, and I pretty much as a rule don't like human in Equestria (or pony on earth, for that matter) fics. It's well done and has a tongue in cheek humor that works. The writer is up front that this character is a self insert and shows you his ICOOCWeirdMetaThing thought pattern. It's hard to describe, and the fic does take a little while to "get going", but it does definitely work, and work well.
Congratulations!
Where did you get hired?
*Laughs* I know you've already succumb, but at the same time I still love watching your now sideways non-descent into ponysanity. It's awesome!

Re: My Little Pony XXVI: Applebloom to Zecora!
You saw my post already prolly, but to me, Derpy just shows up and plants her plot down for the night.
Grats on the job! What are you going to be doing?
Haha, it's okay to not read fanfics, you're not obligated to. I barely read fanfics myself. I literally have read MAYBE two ponyfics, and that is the literal theoretical maximum. They just aren't my thing so much. My headcanon doesn't respond well to fanfic ^^;;Last edited by Capt. Ido Nos; 2011-10-04 at 02:27 PM.

And it's cool if you don't like fanfics. I was the same way, until I realized there were actually competent writers out there, and sometimes they write about ponies. But even if they are good, they're certainly not for everypony.I'm developing a game. Let's see what happens! Complex.

Re: My Little Pony XXVI: Applebloom to Zecora!
I was wary about reading any fanfics at first too. Turns out, there's a ton of awesome ones.
Yeah that fic rocks. I am eternally in shock over how good it is, and I love that the author basically wrote it on a dare that he couldn't write a good story with those elements in it.
At a local company, to do something that I love doing. I don't want to say more just yet, because I'm still waiting for everything to be finalized and I don't want to mess it up, but I start next week.
Like with video games, ponies makes you a better human being. (Not "better than others" better, a "better than you were before" better.)Last edited by Beeskee; 2011-10-04 at 02:40 PM.

Re: My Little Pony XXVI: Applebloom to Zecora!
Oh my god that pony looks like a ram. The white rolly parts at the back?
Wow, I really am slapstick tired, aren't I? I actually took about five minutes to stop laughing long enough to look straight at the screen again.
Dare I say it's one of the only ones that pulls it off though. I'm glad he did it though, and it's a testament to his ability as a writer in general that he was able to pull that cluster**** of a premise off.
I completely understand the not wanting to Jinx it thing. I'm really happy for you though, congratulations again!
Agreed. One hundred and ten percent agreed. I know they kind of took the little layer of cynicism and intolerance that was slowly starting to grow on me as I became accustomed to the post-college real world and scrubbed it clean off. They also revitalized me to be ready to tackle the horrors of the real world without having to develop a new defense mechanism that would have compromised who I was either.
Yay pony!

Re: My Little Pony XXVI: Applebloom to Zecora!
Once again, I find myself noting that the scarriest thing to a writer is a blank piece of paper (or a blank word doc).

Re: My Little Pony XXVI: Applebloom to Zecora!
I was really really really really really really really really really really really really *5 minutes later* really really bored. Also I'm pretty sure ponies as we know it wouldn't be released for another year and I wouldn't join the fandom for another 2 at the time.

Re: My Little Pony XXVI: Applebloom to Zecora!
If the blankness is causing problems, start filling it in with what you do have. You don't have to jump right into creating a story. A basic outline can help a bunch, with figuring out what you want to do and where you want to go with the story. Also, jotting down lines of dialogue or snippets of descriptive text so you remember to include them later can help. After you have a lot of the above, writing the rest of the story is a matter of filling in the gaps.
It's definitely worth a read at least. Try a couple of chapters, if it still turns out to be not your thing, no hard feelings. Everypony has different tastes.
I know what you mean, when I first came across it I thought "this can't be good" - I quickly learned just how wrong I was.
Yeah I'm still worried about something going wrong. I really need a job. I'm super-happy to be getting this one, because it involves something I love a LOT. Thank you for the congrats.
Definitely, the world is stuffed full of bad news, but there are a lot of good things too. They get buried under the bad sometimes, newspapers and TV news shows make more money selling the horrible tales of woe than they do from telling everyone the good things that are going on in life. So it takes way more effort to find the nice things, and more energy to hang on to those as well.

In all seriousness, just write something. Doesn't have to be perfect, you make it perfect later. Right now, you turn your inner critic off and start spewing words on that dang page.

Re: My Little Pony XXVI: Applebloom to Zecora!
It's not really a "descent", it's more of a "surpression". It's as if a small part of my brain has been infected by a mental virus. The rest of my brain tries to keep said virus at bay, but it likes to come out and play sometimes. I know a good game. But it's not so bad. It's called "Pin the Tail on the Pony" I just have to work at it some more. You can be the Pony.

Re: My Little Pony XXVI: Applebloom to Zecora!
That's... uh.. freaky. I just re-read those chapters last night.
*opens chapter 2, no problems*
It worked for me, but I realize that isn't particularly helpful. It shouldn't be doing that to you. I mean, it *couldn't* do it directly, there's nothing special in Google Docs that makes computers reboot. confluttershy.jpg (Edit: By that I mean it's doing it indirectly, I'm not saying you weren't having a problem that you obviously are.)
Have you had issues with your computer rebooting or such like that before? If so, it might be related to memory or networking, since Google Docs does use a bit of memory, and it opens up a chat type connection thingy as well. (That's what the stuff on the top right is, I didn't know about it for a while...)
Clearing your web browser cache might help, or if you have a ton of stuff open, closing any unnecessary programs. Also, maybe closing the chapter 1 page and using the main story page on Equestria Daily to open the next chapter might help.
Sorry you're having problems. I know how much unrelated technical issues can spoil an otherwise good thing.Last edited by Beeskee; 2011-10-04 at 04:24 PM. Reason: I don't like it when I write something well-meaning and it comes out sounding bad like that.

Re: My Little Pony XXVI: Applebloom to Zecora!
I personally really like Imposition, which is one of the most hilariously verbose human in Equestria stories I've ever seen.
It's endings kind of weak, but everything else is pretty cool.

And that is a GOOD thing by any definition.
