I have hard time finding actually funny comedic fics. It feels like only things people find funny are either throwing characters under the bus simply for "comedic" effect and falling short for it or make as many pop culture references as possible. Even the one which is top rated on the starter kit was just average. An okay slice of life story, but hardly comedic at all.

It might be that written form is just terrible for comedy.

Not really. Being a weapon, it's certainly based of something perhaps moderately useful, but the ceremonial item itself is usually shit. Just look at the widespread tradition of ceremonial maces. This one belongs to the Lord President of the Court of Session.

>kh&c, chapter 2

Shining and Cadance set up Rarity on a blind date with Silver. She recognizes him as "that drunk stallion who was harrassing Ms. Golden Sun", and flips the fuck out. Someone explains that Golden Sun is his sister who was dragging his drunk ass home from the bar, so Rarity calms down and they have a nice date.

Rarity meets with her friends, who have somehow divined that she's met a guy. She mentions Silversteel's name, and Twilight says she's pretty sure he's married to Derpy and the father of her two children (not true, but they were together for a long time and he cares a lot about her adopted kids). Rarity flips out again, not bothering to wonder why "the romance alicorn" would send her on a date with a married stallion. I thought she was going to pull the whole self-sacrifice, "He Needs To Be With His Family" thing, but instead she just asks him to explain, gets a straight answer, and life is good. (How weird is that?)

And finally: A love triangle with only three ponies? BORING! Meet Tiger Lily:

>“Only gal who’s gonna be lifting her tail for him is me, got that?”
>“Well, you’re honest about it – probably why we’re best friends.”
>“You mean future sisters-in-law,” Tiger said, sealing the deal.

>“Like a sister to me.” She sighed inwardly. Can’t I interest you in some incest, if that’s the case?

>And now coupled with being in the friend zone–worse than that, even–she was going to have to definitely work her way into his heart in any way possible.
>First off, as soon as she got the chance, she’d fly to Ponyville and pound the shit out of that harridelle, Derpy.
>After that, she would have to watch to ensure that her beau wasn’t looking in the wrong direction. That would give her enough time to start working on her own plans to get him in her hooves. She knew she could do it; all she needed was time.

So now we have our antagonist. She doesn't know about Rarity yet, but I'm sure that will change soon.

Why, exactly, is this a fanfic? It's actually an interesting concept, but the concept hinges on being set in a unique world.

What possessed the author to shoehorn that world inside an already established one? We know that Equestria does not work like this. So why the fuck would you just say "lol alternate universe" when your premise is good enough to make a decent standalone short story?

Hey, have any of you guys read "You Do (Not) Belong"? I read through the first few chapters and something about the writing makes me cringe, and I really don't know if it's just me being picky or if it's legitimately cringe. The rating seems decent for HiE and the chapters have a decent length. So...

Anyone know if it gets any better, or should I expect more of the same past the first couple of chapters? Should I just drop it.

Don't know why I wanted to ask by the way, normally I would just drop it. It is what it is, I guess. Thoughts?

>You Do (Not) Belong
I remember thinking it was kind of bad but I don't remember why.

I had an idea while I spaced out during a seminar instead of paying attention.

Twilight is doing research on X obscure topic, probably some arcane magic babble thing, but doesn't manage to find any information about it. She clearly remembers works referencing said topic, but can't find any info actually addressing said topic. Eventually, she finds a paper tengentially related to X topic, but it's clearly faulty and unintelligible, almost as if you found a research paper on reinforced concrete that didn't mention steel.

She's understandably disturbed by this, and wonders if there could be a sinister force at work. Dismissing it as paranoia, she goes to sleep and decides she'll ask Princess Celestia in the morning, but come the morning, she's completely forgotten about her research on the obscure magic topic, although Spike remembers her going in a frenzy the day prior. What's more, she's forgotten about her wild theory about an evil force at play.

You can kind of see where I'm going with this. The story would expand on how ponies start forgetting about small, almost inconsequential things, growing until everyone starts forgetting progressively important things (And while I think it'd be hilarious if Applejack forgot about apples, I don't think that's the sort of mood I'd be aiming for). And how every attempt at directlythinking about the problem would result in the pony forgetting everythign about it the next day.

Twilight would be forced to use very roundabout logic and analogies to circumvent the "forget everything" scenario and try to piece out a solution, like setting reminders not to search for certain information so that she forgets them and is free to do research.

She must be careful and take things slow, but at the same time runs the risk of taking too long and Celestia or Luna forgetting how raise the Sun and the Moon.

The fic would escalate until Twilight faces the evil entity in Tartarus and somehow manages to make it forget itself.

(cont'd)
>>
>>25508069
That'd be it pertaining the story itself, I was thinking of maybe having Discord be immune to the effect due to him simply not noticing anything was different, and he'd aid Twilight when it came time to defeat the antagonist.

Now, I like to stroke my ego just as much as anyone, but I don't think I'd be capable of carrying this story for a hundred thousand words, so I'd most likely try to wrap it up in six or seven 4k word chapters.

Also, I almost wanted to make the thing end with Twilight forgetting everything and starting the entire thing all over again, to sort of hint that this is not the first time that this has happened, and the tragic twist is that the evil entity has already gained control over Equestria, but I thought that may be a bit too unsatisfying for the reader.

Anyway, thoughts on this?
>>
>>25508069
>>25508262
Sounds relevant to my interests.

Why is the bad guy stealing memories? That's just what he does (part of his nature)? Or he needs ponies to forget about something in particular (that original research paper, maybe), and he just has to keep wiping more and more to keep his existence from being uncovered?

Does this affect written documents as well? (So Twilight couldn't find any good papers because the bad guy had magically wiped/destroyed all copies?) Otherwise it seems like Twilight would just write down a bunch of notes every night and read them in the morning. (Though that could be interesting in itself. At some point there will be too many notes to feasibly read every morning, and she'll have to rely on vague summaries/instructions and trust that her many past selves have collectively set her on the right track.)

Here are some things this reminds me of:

- There's a pony fic (don't recall the name) that involves an ancient enchantment called the "False Harmony", which subtly twists ponies' minds, erases/modifies documents, etc, with the goal of maintaining a particular kind of harmony.

- The Oversoul, from one of Orson Scott Card's weirder series ("Homecoming Saga", I think), does a similar thing. It's a satellite network that tries to block particular thoughts across the whole planet, to prevent certain technologies from being developed.

- Ruin, from the Mistborn trilogy, has the ability to read or alter any written text, anywhere in the world. This is obviously incredibly powerful for manipulating people. At some point the protagonists' army starts sending all messages engraved on metal plates, since Ruin can't see or touch metal because of reasons.

It was cringe, yea, but the good kind of cringe. The kind where you're cringing at the actions taken by the character within the narrative and not because of the narrative itself.

Or maybe that's not how it was for you. All I can say about that is that I can personally attest to nerd rage being a thing and that that is a pretty accurate depiction of how it can be triggered as far as I'm concerned.

>>25508526
>Why is the bad guy stealing memories?
Going for my original idea for the ending, it's a way of having ponies under his control. I think it works, although it makes it a bit simplistic. I was thinking about something more about the lines of it gaining power from the subtle disharmony and chaos created from the constant forgetting.

>and he just has to keep wiping more and more to keep his existence from being uncovered?
That's part of it. He keeps making ponies forget small things and keep escalating as means of obtaining power and remaining stealthy, but he always makes sure to make ponies forget about him. That's the lead Twilight takes to start unraveling the madness.

>Does this affect written documents as well?
The idea is that this evil entity of sorts is a primal force of nature, or a lesser Elder God if you may, so it has a moderate control over reality, just like Discord, but does so subtly to avoid being detected.

>Though that could be interesting in itself. At some point there will be too many notes to feasibly read every morning.
She has to be very subtle about it. If she starts leaving too many notes and hints, the entity could realise what she's doing and wipe her memories again.

>There's a pony fic (don't recall the name) that involves an ancient enchantment called the "False Harmony", which subtly twists ponies' minds, erases/modifies documents, etc, with the goal of maintaining a particular kind of harmony.
It does sound interesting. If you remember the name, plase do share it.

The other two sound interesting as well. I may check 'em out at some point, but they do seem to be more about a sci-fi dystopia rather than the Fantasy Thriller/Mystery (with a healthy dash of existential horror) I'm aiming for.

>Hit in X way, stagger, punch in the throat, break jugular
That's not something you learn from games, going Commando like that.
I actually have through like that from time to time, but that's more from my knowledge of medicine than anything else. Games teach you to eat a pankake to regen HP and keep pressing the trigger, nothing else.
Also, as a lover of golden age games like Homeworld and Quake, the whole Destiny thing makes me cringe. I actually watched a few gameplays of it to give it a chance and I only saw a pretentious "Random Verb is a name to look deep 3.3.54.6.7.4.23.2.5.7.8.5.4.23.1.5.7.8" thing with shit gameplay as expected. But then again that's a terribly personal and even petty reason, so I don't really count it as a con.

>a way of having ponies under his control
How would he benefit from this?

>gaining power from the subtle disharmony
That might work, but what I'm imagining right now is things like making a stallion forget his anniversary to cause an argument with his wife, which is kind of corny.

>keeps making ponies forget small things and keep escalating
If he's doing fine just from making stallions forget their anniversaries or whatever, why escalate? Going bigger only risks detection.

>primal force of nature
>moderate control over reality
I like it.

Why does it need to avoid detection in the first place? It's just not powerful enough to take on C&L / all of Equestria?

What are its powers, specifically?
- Can it see / act anywhere in the world, or does it have to be physically present?
- Can it erase memories en masse, or does it have to go one at a time?
- Can it alter memories too, on only erase?
- How does it target memories? Does it look through the target's head to find stuff worth erasing? Can it "wipe everything related to X", or does it have to look through memories one by one to find ones about X?
- Can it sense when ponies say / write / think its name, or talk / write / think about it in general?
- Can it detect documents about X, or does it have to already know where they are? (To erase those research papers, did it have to go through every university library in Equestria, or did it somehow erase all copies at once? Also, could Twilight trick it by hiding her notes, or by avoiding certain words/phrases?)

>If she starts leaving too many notes and hints, the entity could realise what she's doing and wipe her memories again.
Isn't it already doing that anyway?

>It does sound interesting. If you remember the name, plase do share it.
See >>25508769

>>25509089
>How would he benefit from this?
I figured I'd give him an end goal beyond escaping Tartarus.

> what I'm imagining right now is things like making a stallion forget his anniversary to cause an argument with his wife, which is kind of corny.
It is corny, which is why noone pays attention to it. Ponies forget that kind of stuff from time to time. Not so much when you forget you have a wife in the first place.

> why escalate? Going bigger only risks detection.
It's weak due to its imprisonment in Tartarus, which is why it starts slow. Make ponies forget simple small stuff and gain just a little bit of power back from the subtle disharmony. As it grows stronger, it can make ponies forget more important things, but by that point they've already been forgetting things constantly, which prevents them from fully realising what's happening. And during all that time, it grows stronger.

>It's just not powerful enough to take on C&L / all of Equestria?
Since it's in Tartarus, I imagine a scenario similar to when Tirek escaped. He had to gain power from a lot of ponies before he could take on Celestia and Luna. And Cadence.

>What are its powers, specifically?
I intentionally want to keep that as simple and vague as possible so that it makes it seem more ominous (and it's easier to write.)

>Can it see / act anywhere in the world, or does it have to be physically present?
It can, but as I said, its imprisonment has weakened it severely.
>Can it erase memories en masse, or does it have to go one at a time?
I want to say one at a time, but by the time it gets more powerful, all bets are off (i.e. whatever benefits the narrative more at that point).
>Can it alter memories too, on only erase?
Only erase, if it could alter memories it'd be too easy to cover its tracks.
>How does it target memories?
I assume it's some sort of empathic ability, just like earth pony magic.

(cont'd)
>>
>>25509089
>Does it look through the target's head to find stuff worth erasing?
While I would love to dwelve into how the mind of a pony is structured, I don't think I can do that 'and' keep a suspenseful pace at the same time. I am perfectly fine with handwaving the more specific details to "Eldritch Abomination Magic".
>Can it "wipe everything related to X", or does it have to look through memories one by one to find ones about X?
This is entirely a personal matter, but if I was an Elder God trying to gain control over lesser beings, I would pay more attention about searching and destroying memories about me.
>Can it sense when ponies say / write / think its name, or talk / write / think about it in general?
I think that could work. Having some sort of alarm that goes in your nth dimensional mind whenever too many ponies start wondering about you, so you know you have to target those memories.
>Can it detect documents about X, or does it have to already know where they are?
Initially, I conceived the creature as being capable of deleting the concept of "X", but the idea evolved, and that kept as a remnant. What I could do is make it so he can only delete documents about X if someone reads about it. Just like how Twilight found a half erased document she was specifically looking for. Also, this could work in my favour as Twilight could leave traps so other ponies would subconsciously remember stuff about the entity. They aren't looking for the truth, so something that twilight mentions manages to stick with them, and when she loses those memories, the ponies she talked to can remind her of what's happening. Everypony holds a piece of the puzzle, but only she sees the full picture.

>Isn't it already doing that anyway?
Yeah, but there's a difference between one or two odd mentions of yourself, and a particular pony keeping track of dozens and dozens of hints about you and your history. Which is why Twilight can't go full investigative mode and must bide her time.
>>
Do you know what I just realised about Slice of Life, as in the episode? It actually shits over a fundamental part of traditional LyraBon writing (which at the very least used to be immensely popular).
So, the basic dynamic of a fanon LyraBon relationship is that Lyra is the wacky "humans" pone, right? Lyra has a surprisingly adamant fanon personality.
Bon Bon, however, does not. She has no uniform, commonly accepted fanon personality, except for the fact that she almost always plays the straight man to wacky Lyra. This is arguably her main role.

But with SoL, Bon Bon was the one that got a wacky character trait, while Lyra from a canon perspective remains just ordinary. If we go by that episode, she is the natural straight man to the abnormal Bon Bon.
And that kind of throws the whole thing around, doesn't it?

I haven't read that ship in ages. Is it still popular?

>>25509204
>weak due to its imprisonment in Tartarus
>scenario similar to when Tirek escaped
Ah, perfect. That works fine as motivation, especially for a short-ish fic.

>I intentionally want to keep that as simple and vague as possible so that it makes it seem more ominous
I think it will still be plenty ominous during the part where Twilight is running around trying to figure out wtf is going on. And anyway, you don't have to put every detail of its powers into the story, but it's good to have them so that things will be consistent.

In particular, there needs to be some concrete limitation on the thing's powers so that Twilight (once she figures out what's happening) can come up with a clever workaround to let her plan effectively against it. Like how in Mistborn, they figure out Ruin can't interact with metal, and start writing all their letters on sheets of bronze. Maybe here, the thing can only affect sleeping ponies, so Twilight spends three days in a caffeine-fueled frenzy trying to stop the thing before she passes out.

Whatever limitation you come up with, if possible you should drop hints so that attentive readers can find the loophole before Twilight does. (It might not be possible, depending on exactly what the limitation is.)

>by the time it gets more powerful, all bets are off
Sounds good to me

>I don't think I can do that 'and' keep a suspenseful pace
Yeah, I think I was a little unclear - I don't expect to see answers to all these in the story, but it's good to have some idea in order to keep the story internally consistent.

>alarm that goes in your nth dimensional mind whenever too many ponies start wondering about you
So does it know instantly which ponies to target? Or just a general area, and it has to start snooping around to find the one?

>Which is why Twilight can't go full investigative mode and must bide her time.
Won't she have to go pretty far into "full investigative mode" just to find out about the thing and its powers?

For slapstick, absolutely. I'd say most "comedy" fics are a little inaccurate. Very seldom are there defined jokes with a setup, punchline, etc. Most of the time, they're just "lighthearted" plots intended to poke fun and get a smile more than an actual laugh.

Kind of torn by the grimdark twist. It's a pretty good twist, but if Discord's unaffected, he wouldn't have let it go on for dozens of loops.

There is that concern about it being a total waste of time for the reader. I know I wouldn't be terribly pleased with a non-resolution like that if I was reading it, especially with how good the concept is.

>>25508792
If you go the eldrich abomination angle, I'd recommend against a dark ending. Having a normal villain perhaps forget his own plan or be trapped in a world where he can never really win because everyone forgets would be cool, but one where an eternal eldrich abomination drags the whole planet down as food sticks out as a bit too much grimdark--especially since the reader will be totally oblivious to it until the ending kicks them in the groin.

Ooh look, a human winds up in ponyland due to mysterious means. And hes a teenager. wearing glasses. and brings an ipod. and is kind of a dick. but only at first though. then he gets all friendship of magic-y. everyone loves him. then he grows to love everyone. then he grows a horn. guess where this is going. the end.

I think it was meant to sound pedophilic. Of course, I had it established in my own writing that terms like Filly-Fooler and Colt-Cuddler were slurs, so the pedophilic undertones made sense. It's not that different from a lot of people's mindsets IRL
>>
>>25513343
>I think it was meant to sound pedophilic
No, a lot of people use (or used) it completely earnestly. I've seen it been treated as derogatory some times, but not always.
>>
>>25513359
Honestly, I can't stand the idea of those terms being used in an uninsulting way. It legitimately sounds like it could be taken the wrong way quite easily.
>>
>>25513368
Yeah, me neither. I honestly prefer it if it's not used at all, but I suppose it's passable if it doesn't get obnoxious.

The idea that gays or some gay community adopt originally insulting terms isn't entirely unthinkable, I know there's such a thing as the "Faggot Choir" over here, but the filly and colt words come across as so paedophilic that I can't really see it happen.

I'll stick to rag munchers and arse bandits in my stories.
>>
>>25513391
Well, speaking from experience, most of the homphobes I know seem to equate being gay with being a pedophile. So to me, converting that mentality to terms like Filly-Fooler or Colt-Cuddler isn't exactly too out-of-place.
>>
>>25513417
That does seem like the reasonable way to handle it.

Made up insults can range from amusing to absolutely painful, but it can add a lot of flavour to a story.
Almost makes me want to try something. If I wrote a story, let's just say it's a simple Slice of Life fic, and filled it with IRL slurs, people would probably get mad. Which is fine.
But if you did the same thing with just a ton of made-up slurs, it would pass just fine. Might even be fun.
>>
>>25513438
I totally agree.

I also had a detail in one of my stories where the Gryphon Kingdom had homophobic slurs of their own, like Feather-Fluffer and Egg-Snatcher (the latter was taken from another fic I read, but the first was my own idea).
>>
Even normal, middle aged people have boyfriends and girlfriends, which gee sounds pedophillic as well but manfriends and womanfriends sounds retarded

ponyland seems like the kind of place where gay still means happy and rump ranger is likely to be an official job somewhere so what would be an acceptable term for flaming asspirate in common pony parlance?
>>
>>25513461
>Even normal, middle aged people have boyfriends and girlfriends
Yeah, but it's not completely comparable.
Here in Humanland, the norm in English is to use boy/girl-friend for your significant other.
In Horseland, like with human languages, they don't use "juvenile+friend" for their significant other. And the word fillyfriend means childhood friend. So being an adult fillyfooler lies outside the linguistic norm, and comes across as kind of paedophilic.

I speak other languages than English, where we don't use a direct equivalent of boyfriend or girlfriend to refer to our partners. And if you as an adult called yourself something like a "girlfooler" translated literally (or a "boycuddler"), it would really, really not come off as good.

>what would be an acceptable term for flaming asspirate
I like asspirate.

Which is exactly why I only use the term as a slur.
>>
>>25513529
Oh come on, we all know what goes on inside the hull of those deviant love boats. Do you really think any normal ass would leave his home and family to come live on a ship with only other men? Tight quarters, and tons of sweaty, burly asses everywhere? Releasing their corruption and sexual frustration in the form of seaborne banditry?

>Whatever limitation you come up with, if possible you should drop hints so that attentive readers can find the loophole before Twilight does.
I always do this kind of thing, though I don't know if the readers will catch it. I spelled out the exact effects of a plague in the fic I'm currently writing, and nobody noticed.

>So does it know instantly which ponies to target? Or just a general area
You just gave me an idea. If the entity is as weak as I'm planning, maybe when it specifically focuses on a pony or group of ponies, it disregards everything else while it targets the memories pertaining itself. So Twilight could send an apparently inocuous letter to her old school, or some scholars in Canterlot that would indirectly trigger thoughts about the creature. Therefore, Twilight can keep her memories of that day because the entity was focused on the other group of ponies debating its existence. And I love writing guilty Twilight.

>Won't she have to go pretty far into "full investigative mode" just to find out about the thing and its powers?
Yes, but I was talking about a difference in scope. She can't spend a whole afternoon reading old tomes scouring for any reference to the entity. She'd have to do her research interspersed with research of other completely unrelated topics to sort of hide her tracks.

>>25511802
>if Discord's unaffected, he wouldn't have let it go on for dozens of loops.
The idea was that he doesn't notice because he's already bonkers to some degree.

> I know I wouldn't be terribly pleased with a non-resolution like that
I know... Maybe I could release it as a grim alternate ending after the fic is done.

>How'd it get locked up in the first place? Altering memories is pretty OPed.

IIRC from his initial blog post, he was supposed to be working on an original novel, but had the idea for the sequel stuck in his head, so he just cranked out a chapter or two and posted them. I assume the rest of the chapters went sort of the same way

>kh&c, chapter 3

God damn, it's good getting back into AAG again. 7DSJ just doesn't have quite the same kind of crazy.

In this chapter: Derpy's in the hospital! Silversteel rushes down to Ponyville to visit her. Rarity of course drops everything and comes along, and for some reason so do the rest of Knights Elemental, Shining Armor, and Cadance. It seems like Derpy counts as Family, but I'm not sure why - obviously she's connected to Silversteel by virtue of being his ex-fiance and the (adoptive) mother of his sort-of children, but Rarity and Silversteel have only been dating for a month, which doesn't seem like the kind of connection that merits such a massive response.

Putting Rarity, Silversteel, and Derpy in the same room for a while means they get to work out their side of the love tetrahedron. This goes rather smoothly - luckily, Derpy has completely forgotten about the impassioned letter she sent to Silversteel begging him to come back to her, so there's no reason for him to feel conflicted or to wonder why he never received this letter in the first place (answer: because his crazy sister burned it undelivered).

So, why is Derpy in the hospital? It's because a mysterious pegasus broke into the post office and beat her within an inch of her life. Since Derpy is (apparently) Family, Twilight, Rarity, and Shining Armor all agree to abuse their authority as much as possible to track the attacker. This turns out to be easy, because he's already in jail. Tiger Lily had hired him to beat up Derpy, but refused to pay because he left too much evidence at the scene. They fought, she won, then she ran to the police to tell them about this random stallion who just dragged her into a dark alley. Hence, jail.

Finally, Golden Sun (Silversteel's sister) knows about the beating, but apparently still thinks it's best for Silversteel to be with this psycho, rather than go back to Derpy or stay with Rarity. Should be fun to see how that gets explained.

>>
>>25521965

Yeah, we all know that every problem in the AAG universe is met with an equal and reasonable response.
>>
>>25522121
>>Knights Elemental
>literally what
In AAGverse, the M6 are called the "Knights Elemental". Don't ask me where the hell that came from.

They're also all duchesses, for some reason, and their duchies are named after RL horse breeds. Shetland, Mustang, Andalusia, etc. The full info is here: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1bKDYVNtqOGhn4_ms5cRPvWlfAp2mbe4gA4JdBi3qnbw/edit

>why would random retard pony being in the hospital warrant princesses, knights, and a royal guard to attend?
Good question. Since this is AAG, I assume they consider Derpy to be a family member of some kind. (AAG is just full of characters doing unbelievably stupid shit for the sake of family. Plus the M6 + princesses are all "Sisters Royal", so about half the cast of the series are family members to each other.)

>isretardpony leader of some antiharmony task force, or of any importance to anything?
Apparently she did some minor world-saving in Appleoosa a while back (I assume this is the story of the other AAG prequel). But like I said, her only connection to the M6 is by being Rarity's boyfriend's ex-fiance, and Rarity's only been dating this guy for a month. Seems pretty tenuous to me, but who knows.

>they don't use "juvenile+friend" for their significant other
There's never been a canon non-married relationship before, so of course they haven't used the term.

"Girlfriend" was used once in Hearts and Hooves Day, but it was in the same song as a stallion in a giant jar of jelly, so whether it actually happened is debatable.

Since canon's unclear on the terms, you headcanon your own. "Fillyfooler" and "coltcuddler" have that alliteration thing going on, which is why they've stuck so well. I don't mind if they're used--either as genuine terms or as slurs.

My new favorite bit of that diagram, which I just noticed while going through KH&C chapter 3, is the dark blue and light blue lines for Hazy Jane (top-center, below Ditzy, gray with pink hair). Dark blue is for half-siblings and light blue is for cousins, but in Hazy Jane's case they both point to (mostly) the same ponies, Ditzy's five other kids (in a row at the top).

So, how does that work? Well, there was a section on this in some AAG side story. Apparently Autumn Mist, who's married to Ditzy, cheated on her with Derpy. Derpy got pregnant and had Hazy Jane. But instead of raising Hazy Jane herself, Derpy let Ditzy adopt her and raise her as her own. Hazy Jane grows up thinking she's just another of Ditzy and Autumn's children, when in fact she is both their half-sister (all six are in fact Autumn Mist's children) and their cousin (her mother, Derpy, and their mother, Ditzy, are sisters).

Stopped reading right there.

Then continued reading and stopped reading at the very end.

What a shitty fucking fic.
>>
>>25526242
Yeah, it took me a while (and several consultations of that crazy diagram) to figure out what the fuck was going on when I first read that chapter. (Specifically, this was the side story chapter where Hazy Jane finds out she's adopted, at age like 25 or something.) It didn't help that literally none of these characters had been relevant to the story at all up to that point.

>>25526202
>>25526221
It really is.

Here's a bit more: The reason I was looking at the diagram in the first place was to figure out who all these random ponies are that just showed up at Derpy's house (in KH&C chapter 3). They are, of course, Autumn (Derpy's brother-in-law) and all the kids. Apparently Ditzy (Derpy's sister) is a raging fucking psychopath and all-around horrible pony to everyone, including her husband and children. Autumn shows up at Derpy's in this chapter because he needs somewhere safe for him and the kids to stay after his and Ditzy's latest fight.

Damn, it's confusing having Ditzy and Derpy be two separate characters

How do you think readers would react if I reject an episode's newly introduced canon on purpose to not disturb my story's plot?
>>
>>25528111
I think people are generally understanding if a story doesn't include canon beyond the point the first chapter was published. You can put a little author's note explaining that you planned your story out before the episode airs and couldn't reconcile it and you should be fine.
>>
>>25528111
Just do it, no one will give a fuck. You'll get some arguing in the comments about wether or not it's an AU, but only that.
>>
>>25528111

Is it an incomplete story of which you've already published multiple chapters? Then it's fine, though you might want to throw a "written before such-and-such episode" in an author's note for new readers.

Is it a story you've started working on, but haven't published any of yet? Then quit being such a baby, and just rework that shit.
>>
>>25528142
And if the entire plot it planned, the story's first few chapters are done and that including the canon would probably mean a major change in the story's plot?
>>
>>25528142
>and just rework that shit.
I wouldn't advise this as a must-do. I started writing something about the CMC when they are at their twenties and quite a lot of what is written (And will be written) hinges on them having the marks I gave them. Hell, them having a private and a public side is one of the cores of the plot, as is realizing what is that your mark truly means at a personal level.

>>
>kh&c, chapter 4
It's now four months since Rarity and Silversteel started dating.

Tiger Lily has known for three months that Silversteel is "looking at another mare", but somehow still hasn't figured out who it is. This means neither has Silversteel's sister Golden Sun (I guess they don't talk that much?), and it also means that for some reason, Tiger Lily hasn't tried putting the moves on him yet (obviously he would refuse and tell her he's already seeing someone).

Anyway, Tiger Lily finally finds out about Rarity in this chapter, and promptly hires a delightful fellow by the name of Galahad Gutslasher (a gryphon) to maim and/or kill her. Unfortunately, there are several ponies named Rarity living in Equestria, and neither Tiger Lily nor Mr. Gutslasher are bright enough to realize that, since Silversteel hasn't been taking any long trips lately, he must be dating the one who lives in Canterlot. So Mr. Gutslasher sends one guy after a schoolteacher in the middle of nowhere, sends another guy after a seamstress in Ponyville, and rounds up four more to go with him after the Knight Elemental who lives in Canterlot. (I'm not sure if the M6's origins are not well known, or if this guy is just unusually clueless.)

Meanwhile, Rarity and Silversteel are enjoying a relaxing vacation on a hippie commune. They're about to have sex for the first time, but Rarity's insecurities get the better of her:
>“I’m still pure, Silver. I have no experience, no knowledge of which other than tawdry novels and a maiden’s dreams.”
>“I don’t have the …‘practice’…that Derpy or any before her have given you. And I cannot make our first night perfect.”
Silversteel convinces her everything will be fine, and they're about to start going at it, when Mr. Gutslasher and his friends kick down the door. Rarity summons her Element, and the chapter ends with this truly epic line:
>“FEEL THE WRATH OF A MARE DENIED!” Rarity roared as the world exploded in azure.

>>25530552
>eleven phases
Part of it is because the moon has both visible and purely magical phases that only unicorns perceive, but mainly because I wanted something to justify the existance of years.

>>
>>25531496
Honestly I'm a little surprised people seem to like that line. To me it sounds like it's trying too hard to be cool, and not at all like something Rarity would ever say.

Keep in mind that none of these stories are particularly action-focused. Most problems are solved by yelling, not punching people. The actual fights are usually over pretty quickly (including this one, now that I've started in on Chapter 5) because one side or the other is massively OP and/or has the element of surprise.
>here: Rarity has mad Element-fueled magic, and Silversteel has both Royal Guard training and Monolith ancestry (meaning he's ridiculously strong and tough, like Big Mac)
>Singapore: A team of six assassins, versus Sunhorse and Moonhorse and Mike (in full-on RAGE MODE because these assholes are shooting at his wife). No contest.
I know there have been some other minor fights in AAG and 7DSJ (particularly involving SIRENs), but I don't remember any of them being particularly interesting.

The only fight I actually liked was the Cloudsdale thing from AAG, featuring (as I recall) DJ, Mike, Elusive, and Luna, versus Nightmare Moon and her shanghaied squadron of Iranian fighter jets. Of course, there might be another good one by the end of KH&C (now that Tiger Lily has completely fucking lost it and there's some kind of conspiracy shit going down), and also I'm still holding out hope for 7DSJ's impending wizard war.

>>25531972
>Honestly I'm a little surprised people seem to like that line. To me it sounds like it's trying too hard to be cool, and not at all like something Rarity would ever say.

It's not a good line. It's just one of those hilariously over-the-top and slightly nonsensical one-liners that sound like a parody of 80s action movies. I'm a fan of those kinds of parodies, intentional or otherwise.
>>
>>25531972
It's not a good line, but the thing that makes it bad (how overblown it is) just goes so far that it makes it good again. Unintentional brilliance.

It's not the same, but comparable to how some of the dialogue in WaiWai was gold.
>>She cried again, "YES JOHN MAYBE YOU ARE ANOTHER SPECIES AND YES YOUR RACE IS VIOLENT, BUT YOU, YOU ARE OTHER, OTHER LIKE THE OTHER HUMANN; YOU POVED US YOU ARE OTHER, I WONT LOOSE YOU, PLEASE I CANT LIVE WITHOUT YOU! SINCE YOU HERE. JOHN PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DON´T GO!!!" her words come out of her heart.

>"Good night John and call me ... DASHI." said the Pegasus pony.
>"OK I have to go now good night ... DASHI." said John.

Any line by the main characters also becomes much better if you read it in the voice of Tommy Wiseau:
>John ask for, "Steve please don't do that, they aren't involve in this. Please let them go. There are still children."

>John said, "THIS FIGHT ISN´T OVER STEVE. I PUT YOU AN END NOW."

>"SHUT THE HELL UP! I could kill you for that what you have done to me. I was every time honestly to you your highness and you LIED ME ALL THE TIME. YOU ALL." John started to lose his control about his feelings. He started running to her and stab her on her shoulder with his knife.

To be fair I think having a celebrity guest star attached to a new character makes people hesitant to draw porn of them initially, especially when they're as open and active about their involvement as Lena Hall is and has been leading up to the airing. Sassy Saddles, from what I recall, got quite a bit of porn right away. But Coloratura barely got half a dozen for the first couple of days. I'm pretty sure the same thing happened with Cheese Sandwich too.

Because that wasn't true back then.

I genuinely had to google who the fuck that was. But still, she's been in two consecutive episodes, so she's slightly more relevant than most other new characters except Coco "Fluttershy" Pommel.

Because I hate myself, I went to derpibooru and checked how mane lewd images of Coloratura are there.
The results are, as of the 24th of November, out of the 239 images with her tag:
2 Suggestive Anthro pics.
2 Explicit Anthro pics. (There are two versions of one, but the only difference is a little bit more semen.)
1 Suggesitve Pony pic.
3 explicit Pony Pic

Actually there are four explicit pony pics, and only one or two are kind of okay, depending how low your standards are.

Dang, so it actually slowed down from even the initial rush. The first day saw 5 out of about 170 images be porn/suggestive, and two of those were the edit variants of each other you mentioned. Only 4 more in the following two days? that's even less than I would have thought.

You need all 6 for the friendship laser, but who knows what else they might be able to do alone?

In AAG they apparently do have some individual powers. In KH&C we've seen Rarity use Generosity as a generic magical power-up (she wins the fight instantly and summons sapphire cages from nowhere to lock up all the bad guys), and also Applejack has used Honesty as a magical lie detector. I don't remember whether they did anything interesting in AAG proper, but they very well might not have, since the story so far has mostly featured the good guys being horribly incompetent.

Since /k/ tier debates seems to wake us up, let's have one.

What role do you think the three kind of ponies are actually given in the EUP? Stuff such as who's in the logistics, the COs and NCOs (Commissioned/non-commissioned officers), communications, fire support, front-line infantry, &c. &c. &c.
>>
>>25538567
The answer is I don't care because we know nothing about EUP anyway.
Here's a better question: now that the last episode revealed unicorns also now a light spell, what do you think are their actual capabilities?
>>
>>25538607
*also know
as in, in addition to telekinesis
>>
>>25538607
I guess that would enable them to be used as scouts, mixed with a few other earth ponies for protection and support. The camera thing Twilight did would also be useful for that.

As to capabilities, we don't really know which spells are capable of being cast with which training level. Some anon in the last threads even believed telekinesis was for skilled unicorn only. My guess is that telekinesis, short distance teleportation and some other gimmicks like light/self-defense spells are available to all unicorn through their standard education system.
>>
>>25538647
I personally think teleportation is way too complicated. Have we ever seen any unicorn other than Twilight teleport?
>>
>>25538681
We have seen like three unicorns with extensive magic training, total. Celestia and Luna could be asumed to be good, but we could also asume that centuries of paperwork have turned them into actual paper tigers.
>>
>>25538681
Well, Twilight is probably in her early 20s, and even being the prodigy she is, there's a limit to what she can achieve. Seeing she didn't stop teleporting in the Crystal Empire song thingy and that, without being exhausted, I'm assuming a normal unicorn can at least eleport once over short distances.
>>
>>25538710
Even ignoring the common assumption that Element of Magic is actually the Element of Friendship, Twilight was still skilled enough to perform transmogrifying spells for which she got her cutie mark, to be taken in as Celestia's pupil, and to finally achieve alicornhood. Call me crazy, but I don't think her skill level is very common.
>>
>>25538710
>in the Crystal Empire song thingy
She was in Song Zone. The capabilities shown during songs shouldn't be taken as hard data.
Except for Pinky, but she's a reality bender anyway.
>>
>>25538764
>Except for Pinky
Ignoring your insulting misspelling of Pinkie's name, that would imply that her entire Smile, Smile, Smile song was a hallucination.
>>
>>25538759
>I don't think her skill level is very common.

It isn't, but she still has her limits. Just my interpretation, but it looked like she had just cracked the egg open instead of actually applying any complex spells, and then proceeded to go in a magic spazzing state where she didn't really control anything.

There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to ponykind. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between good storytelling and just filling the runtime, between art and corporate meddling, and it lies between the pit of ponies' stage fright and the summit of their friendship. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call the Song Zone.

>kh&c, chapter 5
Expo dump: Toward the end of Discord's reign, the pony king Jasper ran a secret forced-breeding program to create pony supersoldiers, called Monoliths (E), Adepts (U), and Redsprites (P). The goal was to have "everyday stallions and mares with a trigger in their mind, and just like flicking a switch, they’d become unstoppable monsters." The program never managed to produce a Redsprite, but in modern times its legacy is still visible in the Star Swirls, Clovers (Twilight), Lulamoons, Apples (Big Mac), and Mithrils (Silversteel).

Now, about that fight scene... Oh wait, it's already over. Rarity zapped some guys with magic, Silversteel punched some guys with freaky Monolith strength, and Celestia teleported in 30 seconds later (Twilight sensed Rarity using her Element). All right, show's over, time for sex.
>In their home in Canterlot, Cadance woke up and sighed.
>“I’m sorry, hon. Goes with the territory of being the Avatar of Love,” she said. “But this one’s really special: it’s Rarity.”
>He turned and looked at her with bleary eyes. “Cady, hon, I don’t know if that’s good or really, really creepy.”
Oh, and Silversteel got a promotion.

Afterward: The one mercenary who escaped meets with Tiger Lily to collect payment and gives her a scroll. She's working for the Weather Underground, some kind of general-purpose badguy conspiracy, to recruit Tiger Lily to their cause.

Golden Sun visits Tiger Lily, who has suddenly gone totally and inexplicably crazy. When Goldie tries to explain that Tiger Lily is not, in fact, already married to Silversteel, Tiger Lily flips out and fries her with a lightning bolt. Shining Armor finds out, and (after swearing to dedicate absurd amounts of Royal Guard resources to catch the mare who attacked his sister's friend's boyfriend's sister) he realizes:
>“We’ll never have to wonder if the old kingdom created a Redsprite,” Shining said in a tight, haunted voice.
>“Nature did it for us.”

Anyone else reading The Enchanted Library?

It has some very nice worldbuilding so far; you can tell the author has put a lot of thought into it beyond what is written. The alternate Equestria is pretty engaging. I particularly like how the princesses have become a myth of the fantastical past of the still-quite-fantastical Equestria. It also features a slow-moving, believable TwilightxRarity ship, which is one of my favorite ships few people seem to write about.

Earth ponies are the grunts/supply management.

Pegasi are aerial (obviously) and communications.

Unicorns are tactical/special ops and the nobility holds the highest ranks while a mix of the three species/clines/whatever hold the middle ranks that are actually competent.

The princesses are barred from getting directly involved or using the sun/moon by international treaty.

>>25543095
I've seen that fic floating around once in a while and have been tempted to try it out, but Twilight/Rarity is one of those ships that often doesn't sit well with me because of how close Twilight is to Spike and how well she knows he has a huge crush on her, and true bros don't swoop in on the girl your bro is crushing on. IT'S NOT COOL, BRO.

So I'm curious now, how does this fic handle that particular hurdle, if at all?
>>
>>25544315
It's an AU, and a pretty good one if I do say so myself.

Twilight was one of the original four alicorns, and Spike was her guard, so Rarity and him never met.

The one-shot is a solid recommendation from me. I'm yet to read the expanded one, but I'm confident the quality will be similar.
>>
>>25544315
I believe the same author has a fic about exactly that issue, but in The Enchanted Library it doesn't come up, because Spike and Rarity haven't met.

You know, every time I post anything related to my wordbuilding someone says I overcomplicated it, even when it's something relatively simple.

I had this idea while I was in central Philly last winter and I only just remembered it

essentially, it's an AU set in the future where magic and technology have created machines that take the bodies of ponies who volunteered themselves in the past upon their death and place he consciousness of ponies in the present time who've been in terrible accidents that render their bodies useless and give them another chance. The story here would come from a pony ending up in the body of Twilight Sparkle (who, of course, gave her body up for science), and slowly recalling her memories through a glitch in the system and unraveling her life while pushing through a bleak, not exactly dystopian but sort of hopeless future and uncovering dramas in her life that illustrate more about the circumstances of her death and how the body ended up being donated to the pony who ended up getting it.

Anyone think that'd be worth reading?

>kh&c, chapter 6

Not much going on in this one.

Shining Armor sends some outrageous fraction of the Equestrian military to hunt down and capture Tiger Lily (presumably because She Attacked His Family, and no character in this story understands the idea of separating personal and professional concerns when making decisions). This turns out to be a good idea, since Tiger Lily can apparently singlehandedly destroy entire squadrons of Wonderbolts with her Redsprite weather magic, despite having no practice with or even knowledge of those powers until three hours ago, and also she's still totally nuts. She eventually crashes somewhere in the Badlands, but just as the Wonderbolts are closing in, 500 pegasi and gryphons in red berets show up from nowhere, run them off, and rescue Tiger Lily.

The red beret guys turn out to be the soldiers of the Weather Underground, led by Pony Che ("Chaff Guarana"). They're working in secret toward the violent overthrow of the Equestrian government, in order to establish better equality between the species or some such thing. Tiger Lily agrees to join them, since they promise to help her "rescue" her "husband" from the "so-called 'Royal Family'". To confirm her dedication to the cause, she has to change her name:
>“There is only one thing to call myself,” she said.
>“I am now, and ever will be…Revanche.”

Ordinary love triangles are boring. Let's have a love triangle where one of the participants is a deranged, superpowered pegasus with 500 revolutionaries at her back!

Have gone through the recommended and even the review/riff documents.
I am still in the need for a AU/Dark story where in the griim darkness of equestria there is only war.
Lines and Webs was fun but I couldn't stand how needlessly evil Celestia was and how convoluted things got in the sequel towards the end, and the Immortal Game was just goofy.
To my knowledge, all of the great "nightmare moon won" fics update at the same speed as "A Song of Ice and Fire" or are dead as fuck.

Anyone got any war fics that aren't shite or deader than Applejack's parents?

>>25550697
>I've read some of upheaval but a couple things turned me off of it

I hear you. I finished the first one, but had to force myself to do it, and while the sequels are on one of my shelves somewhere I'm in no rush to get to them

twilight- theres this horrible, shitty place outside of equestria where everything is awful and shit. I must tell everyone about it
sunbutt- thats not a good idea
twi- i dont care if youre a god and ive worshipped the ground you walked on since I was 5. im doing this
worst princess- youre my favorite peon, you rescued my sister, saved the world a couple of times and are one sixth of a superweapon that is the only thing keeping this country safe, so I have to kick you out
rest of the mane 6- oh yeah? well then were abandoning our homes and families to go with her
retarded day horse- youre the only line of defense protecting us from random animal attacks and malevolent deities. I'm okay with this. begone with you all

seems legit
>>
>>25550785
Yeah, I couldn't suspend my disbelief that she would just say "lol fuckoff" to all of those ponies, as well as a lot of the stuff twilight did.

I haven't seen anyone talk about The Slave King series in any of these generals, anyone have an opinion to validate mine that it's top tier HiE? (if there is such a thing)

>>25550470
My rec whenever someone wants a dark/action FiMFic is The Immortal Game:

http://www.fimfiction.net/story/1886/The-Immortal-Game

The large scale battles only happen towards the end, but the whole thing is a warfic. It's lots of fun. Can be dumb at times, but it's still good shit.

Beginning chapters can be edgelord-y depending on your tastes, though; I personally thought that it was pulled off in a really horrifying way without being too over the top, but I know a lot of people think it's pretty cringy. Just keep that in mind if you read.

The middle is really the best part, though. The opening is edgy depending on taste, the ending gets more fanficcy in the last chapter, but everything in chapters 7-23 is pretty much pure gold.
>>
>>25550876
As far as I know he's making it into a fuckin' saga, though he's finished two out of however many entries he's making into the series
>>25550922
Yeah, I enjoy it but when people compare it to a Michael bay film I can't help but agree.
Still fun, though.
>>
>>25551055
...Actually, that's not too bad a comparison. It has more internal consistency than a Bay flick, but it has a lot of the same elements. Over-the-top badassery, war, ancient evils rek'n shit, dramatic dialogue.

You're right.

Oh my god.
>>
>>25550470
https://www.fimfiction.net/story/13034/the-age-of-wings-and-steel
Age of Wings and Steel is a warfic, not really full-on grimdark but things often don't go so well for the protagonists. Aside from the war itself, Equestria hasn't gone completely to shit but it's not it the best shape either. Not 100% sure it's what you're looking for, but might be worth giving it a try.
>>
>>25551075
I actually was just looking at that.
I don't need a boo-hoo everything goes wrong and life sucks story but i don't want a story where you constantly know that nothing bad will ever happen to any protagonist because they're protagonists.

I want to do a parody sequel called The Immoral Game, where after the events of TIG while everyone is rebuilding, Celestia and Lunas creepy uncle returns and starts molesting everyone
I'd like to see a canon appropriate warfic.

>The equestrian army approaches the gryphon encampment
>thousands of troops stand shoulder to shoulder in tight formation, their armor gleaming in the sunlight
>Their commander <insert General Order or equally silly pony pun name> bellows out a motivational speech
>a blistering warcry emits from the troops
>as one they maintain formation as they stampede toward the enemy lines, murderous intent in their eyes
>as they get into range of their enemy cries of 'For Celestia' ring out
>thousands of troops bear their weapons towards their evil foe
>Thousands of pies arc through the sky, few missing their targets while the enemy counter attacks

The only winners of a pony war are the ants, who feast for generations on the aftermath of equestrian battlefields

>>25548242
7/10 concept. I'd give it a chance. Might be a little confusing shuffling around the different plots, though

You could probably drop the dystopian/hopeless future stuff and just focus on the character and Twilight memories angle. It would clean up the plot a little and not use a fairly cliche "the future is shitty" plot

>>25550470
There's:
>For Want of a Dawn (http://www.fimfiction.net/story/24152/for-want-of-a-dawn), one of the older "evil AU" fics
>Lunar Rebellion (http://www.fimfiction.net/story/77470/the-lunar-rebellion), which I'll never stop shilling even though the protag isn't the best
>Bad Future Crusaders (http://www.fimfiction.net/story/135179/bad-future-crusaders), which is less a warfic and more a "try to live in Empress Twilight's dystopia"
>Re:Harmony (http://www.fimfiction.net/story/78420/reharmony), a total AU with an earth pony/pegasus cold war that's going hot and story arcs more agonizing than Johto
>RAID (http://www.fimfiction.net/story/54686/raid), a special forces fic centering on Dash
>And, of course, The Night That Never Ended (http://www.fimfiction.net/story/25219/the-night-that-never-ended), one of the original "NMM wins" AUs and one of the only ones that's actually complete.

>>25550785
I see you never got to OC alicorn heaven. It actually isn't as bad as it sounds, although I much preferred the "Equestria's constantly under siege" plot to the "God and heaven politics" one
>>
>>25552134
I've read all of those except bad future crusaders and RAID, though Re:Harmony was one I couldn't get through because of the weird tech level and cringing at fucking katanas and pony jitsu.

>You could probably drop the dystopian/hopeless future stuff and just focus on the character and Twilight memories angle. It would clean up the plot a little and not use a fairly cliche "the future is shitty" plot

What do you think about killing characters AND doing so purposefuly with a sense of disclosure? As in the character died before completing it's main arch.
I am curious and feel playful with the idea of doing that to put my readers at the same sense of loss as the characters themselves, even if others may or may not decide to complete that character's arc in stead of their dead friend.
>>
>>25552962
I feel that the current state of The Mare Who Once Lived on the Moon would be a satisfying end. It just ends with Shining Armor emptying Twilight's braincase, and since the entire story is from her point of perspective, nothing comes after the ignition of gunpowder.
Or the fifth book in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. It's a depressing one, but it's been foretold for a damn long time. Two books, even.
Go for it. It could be done very well. Just do the usual building of empathy with the main protagonist, make the reader feel themselves into their situation, as well as their friends. Then kick them in the head.
>>
>>25552962

It's tricky. You don't want to just rip the carpet from under your reader for the lulz. If you do it, you're going to have to be sure you ultimately bring a sense of closure to the reader, even if it wasn't the closure they were expecting.

>"Buck up, sugarcube," Applejack said to Dash, as the sobbing pegasus hugged Twilight's tombstone, snot running down her nose. Applejack stared into the sunset. "Somewhar, somehaow, Ahm shore she's aout thar, teachin' hersayelf ta bake tha parfect napalm pie."

>kh&c, chapter 7

Revanche has been training with Chaff Guarana and the Weather Underground for the past four months. Apparently it will be at least another year before they're ready to take on the establishment. Fortunately this fic has been good about timeskipping over boring parts, so this shouldn't drag on for too terribly long (unlike 7DSJ Book 4).

Elsewhere, the Knights Elemental and their Sisters Royal are all preparing for the Grand Galloping Gala. Everyone has a date but Twilight, so her friends help out:
>“I think I might know a pony who might fit the bill, if he’s still available: unicorn stallion by the name of Life Bloom, attached to the 867th Combined Cohort out in Saddleback Mountain. Guy’s not a Guild mage, obviously; he’s the unit’s medic if I recall correctly, but he’s rather bookish and right up Twi’s alley.”
Given this is the only one who's not an established character, it seems clear he's a Weatherpony here to cause mayhem.
>“Not going to work.”
>“Why would you ever think that, Rainbow, dear?” Rarity asked.
>“He’s a colt-cuddler,” Rainbow said matter-of-factly.
Definitely a Weatherpony - otherwise why would he agree to this?
At the gala itself:
>“Shining, dear, while you know I enjoy yours and Cadance’s company, I’d hoped to spend more time dancing with my dearest love here.”
>“Yeah, sorry about that,” Shining began, “but unfortunately, I have to gather up the officers present for Celestia’s speech.”
Silversteel being dragged away from Rarity? Perfect opportunity for Weatherpony shenanigans.
>Finally, the party ended into the wee hours as the sun, guided by Celestia, began to creep over the horizon.
LITERALLY
NOTHING
HAPPENED

Seriously, I spent the whole chapter expecting the shit to hit the fan, and fuck-all happens (aside from Twi getting plastered because her date isn't really interested). Total waste of time.

>>25558506
Sure, but at least most chapters advance the plot in some way. Rarity and Silversteel grow closer, Tiger Lily meets the Weatherponies, etc. But in this one, they go to the gala, have a (mostly) good time, and that's about it. The only bits that I could see being relevant later on are Rarity meeting Blueblood's wife Champainge Dreams (a.k.a. Sunset Shimmer) and agreeing to visit them some time (maybe 1/20th of the chapter), and Twilight meeting Life Bloom (also 1/20th of the chapter at most).

>>
>>25558655
I haven't put together a pastebin for 7DSJ or anything, but I have been pretty good about starting all the posts with a marker. All my main 7DSJ posts start with ">7dsj, chapter ###", so if you search the archive for ">7dsj" you should be able to find them. Similarly, ">aag" for the AAG posts (though I do also have a pastebin of those, somewhere).

>>25558726
If I'm correctly remembering the main AAG storyline, it goes like this: In this world, Sunset never becomes Celestia's student or anything like that. She's born in a poor family out in the middle of nowhere and generally has a shitty childhood. Then at some point, she uses shapeshifting (or possibly illusion) magic to create her "Champaigne Dreams" persona, and moves to Canterlot claiming to be the last living heir of the such-and-such noble house. So now she's loaded (and can send money to her poor mother), and also at some point she gets married to Blueblood.

In the main AAG fic, she turns out to be the leader of a group called the Purehooves. They're working in secret toward the violent overthrow of the Equestrian government, in order to purge the country of all the inferior species or some such thing. In other words, another conspiracy like the Weather Underground, but completely independent and with opposite goals.

>>25558789
Okay, when I get a chance (probably early next week) I will go through the archives and put together pastebins of all my AAG/7DSJ/etc shit.

He's gotta get those Patreon bucks. He gets $210.75 every time he updates a fic. I always wonder if he pays his editors.

>I do like Lunar Rebellion fics
It's not actually about Luna rebelling but is about the pegasi pulling a confederacy a century after NMM and starting a civil war. They just use Luna (who formerly was the pegasi's princess) as a propaganda platform to "justify" their war.

>>25552240
Ah, okay. It's still going to be a challenge juggling all those plots.

Man, it's been a while since Anon called me cancer.
People really get butthurt over the namefag thing nowadays, eh?
Guess I just don't get it.

Guess you should fuck off right back to Ponychan.

>>25560487
Never been on Ponychan in my life.
Think I'll just let you be.
You seem the type that's just going flip out no matter what I type.
Have a good day!

>>I do like Lunar Rebellion fics
>It's not actually about Luna rebelling but is about the pegasi pulling a confederacy a century after NMM and starting a civil war. >They just use Luna (who formerly was the pegasi's princess) as a propaganda platform to "justify" their war.
badass, mang.

Could anyone direct me to some fics that pull of dialogue really well? I'm finding that to be the hardest thing right now and I was thinking of learning from example.

Murky Number Seven
No, I'm serious. You can almost hear the characters experiencing the emotions they feel. The author is a genuinely great writer.

>>25561254
Sweet Jesus. I'll see you in a year then.

Thanks[\spoiler]

>>25561262
It does take a while to actually get to any meaningful conversation, considering Murky has no friends to talk to at first.

>867th combined cohort

What the fuck is that even supposed to mean? If it's at company level, then there's no such thing as a "combined cohort", it's simply a force made of a single type of units, i.e. combat engineers.

If it's at any higher level where combined forces are encountered, then it's called a bloody battalion, division or army.

Does Chink Azura really need to be pulling that much shit out of his transsexual ass?

You did what?

New Equestrian National Anthem
prewriting generic clop and plugging new character names into it so you can publish it while the episode is still airing
'fillyfriend' is used instead of 'marefriend' just like you use 'girlfriend' instead of 'womanfriend'.
The continuing insanity of the AAG universe.
Eldricht abominations with unsurmountable power who content themselves with making you forget where you left your keys.
We're just one post away from becoming /int/
Voicefag died on the way back from Vegas.
The relative speed at which porn based on new characters is created.
Disregard fanfiction writing in favour of worldbuilding.
slow-moving, believable ship development
-ly Adverbs are cancer
warfics that aren't shit
Firsthoof is canon, deal with it.
Cherry Berry has "grumpy" as her lone personality trait and that makes her more interesting than half of us.
Nurse Redheart went to Canterlot and bacame a family mare.

>Ah, okay. It's still going to be a challenge juggling all those plots.
>literally two, possibly three plots

I may not be a fantastic writer, but I think I can handle that.

plus, the "hopeless" future is more of the setting, not a plot. The plot is the main character getting flashes of Twilight's life while living in the "hopeless" future
