and now


We set off our next notable moment 2 weeks from last chapter
>your sitting in you new workshop, full of molding and conceptualizing equipment made for you, from blueprints you made.
>they work aight' you aren't a very good engineer, or scientist; but even the average humans back home know things that can revolutionize other places
>your explaining your thoughts to twilight now
"that’s the beauty of it, really; back home what was taught in school was considered 'useless knowledge' in real society, something that is only known for posterity, and to promote critical thinking-"
>twilight tries to make a connection, saying "so- its like, uh, like knowing how and why and when the apple falls from the tree… that doesn't relate to the fact that /the apple is falling from the tree…" the lightly says, not sure in herself
"precisely!" you say, qualifying her statement
>you have these talks all the time, mostly while your working on something new.
>now that you have all this swanky equipment for inventing, you can now start making shit
>your starting with something important and easy. Something all should have.
>a ball bering
>your placing these small rounds of *ehem* 'rail rock' in around crevice and placing it inside a fixed wagon axle. You are almost done with one wheel.
>things are quiet now, so you conclude that twilight has gone elsewhere
>she's pioneering a whole physics esque course on flying for pegasi.
>vey impressive.
>you place the wheel on the wagon axel and an hour later you've done the same with the other. And in a moment you lift a large wagon bed with a geared pulley system and successfully place the wagon on the wheels, and then you bolt them together with a metal ratchet and the lag nuts, you made both of those two days ago.
>now time to call twilight in.

>>26907552
"TWILIGHT! COME HERE PLEASE!" you shout down the crystal hallway
>a blast of cold air rushes into your shop
>is your furnace really that hot?
>huh, guess it is.
>anyway; you see twilight trotting down the hall, looking like she broke something
>"what? Whats wrong? What do you need?"
"eh, oh- just your attention, that’s all" you say nonchalantly
>you pause, before opening the door expectantly
"step into my office…" you say.
>"oh! Right!" she chirps, before walking into your shop
>"whew its hot in here-" she says before summoning a hand fan
>she's sweating now
>horses have sweat glands? Cool. Maybe you could make deodorant or something along the lines of that
"here, get under this cart" you point to the heavy set cart
>"i- uh- I'm certain I won't be able to pull that cart."
>she points at the full steel cart, supported by a steel and wood set of wheels, the cart itself is loaded with ingots.
>she's gotta know the abilities of ball berings though
"just; just try it, for a friend, please-" you say exasperated
>"*sigh* okay, anon- I will, but if I break my back it'll be you paying for the 20 unicorns having to combine themselves to fix it!" she says frustrated
>she gets under the cart, and you strap in for the show…
>she throws her all into it, and she starts literally galloping across your shop
>it’s a big shop.
>"woahoahoah!" she stampers out
>she's having a hard time stopping that much weight.
>'needs friction based brakes' you add on the list of additions
>after a bit of fucking around, she's able to stop the wagon with magic.

yeah they deleted all the roleplaying threads and some other stuff which this did not fall under but yeah

>>26907798
It's a good thing you showed up, I was worried that when I made the thread that none of the writers would notice and the thread would die a bit more permanently.

>Applejack told you everything…
>”And that’s what happened sugarcube.”
“…”
>”Anon?”
>You can’t believe what you just heard.
>It’s impossible!
>To learn that Twilight just felt like using your vision to stalk you?!
>What kind of friend is she?!
>https://youtu.be/NFjE5A4UAJI
“AAAHHH! TWILIGHT! YOU MOTHERFUCKING PIECE OF SHIT COCKSUCKING CREEP!”
>Both Big Mac and Applejack let out gasps because of the language you used.
“You won’t get away with this you bitch!”
>”Sugarcube! Please calm down!”
>You ignore Applejack and make your way to the castle, running around at the speed of sound.
>Well, fast enough to compare yourself with Olympic athletes.
>Got a castle to go, and a cunt to kick!
>Applejack follows behind.
>”Anon! Don’t do anything you will regret later!”
“No can do Applejack. This time she went too far!”
>”Please sugarcube! You don’t understand! Violence solves nuthin’…”
>You keep ignoring Applejack and see the ugly castle in the distance.
>There she is!
>If she knows what’s good to her she will run…
>But seriously, you’re going to do unspeakable things to a powerful being.
>Perhaps…you should calm down and think through about what you’re going to do?
>You recall that ‘special alone time’ you were having in Applejack’s shower, and you also recall how your eyes hurt during that session.
>Nope, you can’t forgive her.
>She probably told Applejack what you were thinking at the moment. Applejack would never forgive you if Twilight opens her mouth.
>The thought of Twilight spying on you gives you nausea.

>Your ‘so called friend’ did awful stuff to you, and now she’s gotta pay for that!
>As you approach the castle, you’re immediately blown away by the very same pink aura from three weeks ago.
>Seems Twilight didn't disable it.
“Oww…my beautiful body.”
>Applejack walks through the force field without any sort of struggle.
>You slam your fists agains the force field.
>”Oh sugarcube, I know you’re upset…” Applejack says in her motherly tone from the other side of the bubble, “but I’m sure Twilight had good reasons at first.”
“Yeah right…what kind of friend would spy on her friends?! I’m not a guinea pig Applejack!”
>Applejack sighs.
>”I know sugarcube, look. Twilight loves her studies so much and she gets too invested into them sometimes, she probably didn’t even think at some point that she was doing wrong.”
>You raise an eyebrow.
“Seriously Applejack? I’m pretty sure that creeping on me while I’m showering is not ethical at all! If I did it to any mare I’d probably be in jail.”
>Applejack squints.
>”So, just like you do when you give my haunches not-so-innocent looks?”
>Goddamnit! She knows!
“Uhh…”
>”Be glad that Bucky McGillycutty and Kicks McGee haven’t met your groin for now Anon. I’ll just go talk to Twilight…and we’ll talk about that small issue later okay?”
>Uh oh.
>”Now please, could you go back to Sweet Apple Acres? Forget this whole thing and try to calm down?”
>You grunt in an annoyed way.
“Applejack, what Twilight did was horrible! I'm not gonna let it slide just like that you know!”
>You spot a window that just closed.
"I know you're there Twilight! My eyes are MINE! DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT?!"
>”Sugarcube, please. Ponies are watching you.”
>You grab a rock and throw it to the force field in blind rage.
>"You're just wasting your time sugarcube..."
"Twilight! Lower your shield! I just want to talk. Trust me; I won't hit you...hard!"
>Twilight increases her spell and blows you twelve yards away from her castle.
"OWW!"
>Applejack shakes her head.

>>26909398
Yeah but he's just reposting from the previous thread, Twilight hasn't yet been punished

>>26909538
>>”Be glad that Bucky McGillycutty and Kicks McGee haven’t met your groin for now Anon. I’ll just go talk to Twilight…and we’ll talk about that small issue later okay?”

It's kind of fucked up that she mentions this.

>Celestia thinks unicorns wouldn’t be able to get past her puzzles.
>She’s wrong.
>The other sections are unicorn/pegasi proof. But you know how to get past them.
>After all, it was you that helped her make these new secret chambers a long time ago.
>You rub your hooves and keep moving.

>Many hours later, back in Nova Rohan.
>”Well, what are your thoughts?” Anon asks in reference to the play you just saw a few minutes ago.
>”I loved it Nonny! It was actually great! That diamond dog knows how to act!” Pinkie Pie says.
>Anon chuckles.
>”Yeah, back when he was a pup the others bothered him because all he wanted to do was become an actor and not a digger.”
>”I still don’t get something Anon…”
>”What is it Spike?”
>”I was wondering what that Bane guy tried to say. Is it "a big guy for you" or "extremely painful for you"?”
>Anon chuckles.
>”The latter of course, although Alexei entoned it as big guy for you.”
>”Another question; who were Smee, Maimen, Doktor Pavelleer, Button-Lee and-“
>”The friends Spike…the friends Pavel got to bring.”
>”They weren’t his friends right?”
>Anon nods.

>Anon takes golden cards out of his pocket and gives them to all of your friends.
>”What are those sugarcube?”
>”Those are V.I.P. passes for the luxurious hotel that is in the middle of the town. You can stay there all the time you want!”
>Your friends cheer.
>”I can have my very own room as well?! This is amazing!” Spike says, “thanks a lot Anon!”
>You look at the floor, feeling left out because didn’t give you a card.
>Anon lets out a chuckle.
>”What’s the matter Twi? Did you actually think I wouldn’t give you a card?”
“Huh?”
>Anon takes a platinum colored card out of his other pocket.
>”It’s the penthouse Twi. Enjoy it.”
“WHAAA-?! Are you serious?!”
>Anon nods.
“T-thank you Anon.”
>”Your stuff is already there, some pegasi flew to my house and took your things to your hotel rooms.”
“Really? When did that happen?”
>”While your friends were out sightseeing and when you were planning the wedding details with Moonie of course. You two were inside your tiny little world so I went to the hotel and asked for the guest of honor cards. I talked to some of the bellboys there and they went to get your stuff. That way poor Mac and Spike won’t have to carry your stuff all the way from the hotel.”
>They both let out relieved sighs.
>“By the way Twilight, there’s a hidden gift for you in the penthouse. I wonder if you are able to find it.”
>You stand up to give Anon a warm hug.
>”You’re welcome Twi…”

I have something. Was busy with /ptfg/ and easter, please don't hurt me.

heory of everything
>"Before, many scholars theorized that the universe consists of many magical layers, and we live simply on the top of them. Sort of like an onion. But only now have we been able to explore this further, and find many interesting properties of the individual sublayers."

>"The main layer we live on is simply the overlay for the space below. Layers below our one have been labeled from Alpha, the one directly below, to Delta, the one closest to the magical core, which is currently inaccessible by any means."

>"Thinking these layers have been used just recently with the extensive technological advances, would be foolish. Unicorn magical abilities, while not as strong, certainly affect the magical backdrop of the universe. Either by increasing the density of the layers, or by decreasing it, thus affecting the thaumic radiation that leaks through from the magical core, to the normal world. Many spells utilize this mechanic, but each spell is dependandant on the abilities of the caster."

>>26917259

Practical Usage
>"Alicorn magical abilities have the strength to pierce through the main space, and enter the subspace layers below. Though from all the avalible written material, we've concluded that the highest level casters have abilities to pierce only the Alpha layer and utilize that for travel. With the introduction of high power electrical supplies, and large concentrators and generators, vehicles have been able to go as far as the Delta layer, though these endeavours can be hardly classified as portable. The current state of the devices allow for travel over light speed relative to normal space for speeds measurable towards two C or twice the speed of light at Delta layers. It has been proposed that speed to ten times is theoretically possible, though there is no material currently avalible to survive the tidal forces present at such speeds. Now, with the broadened usage of space travel, this way of traveling long distances in a short time, labeled as "Subspace" by manufacturers of spacecraft, has become increasingly popular."

>>26917270
Layer explanation
>"Each subspatial layer has different compression rates and speeds, with each "pierce" to the lower layers requiring half the speed of the vehicle for travel. Such speed loss isn't present while resurfacing, though. It is advised to slow down as close to the speed limit as possible, before resurfacing completely. Below are present rates and explanations for each layer. The layers have been sorted by their compression rates, from Alpha being the lowest and Delta the highest. More on the compression rates below."
Alpha
>"Basic magic layer. Tidal forces are low, and so is the speed limit. The compression rate is one."
Beta
>"The layer directly below, it's easy transfer from Alpha, made it popular in travel. Compression rate is two."
Gamma
>"Military used layer, requires highly priced devices and technology to access. Allows high speeds with a relatively low trade-off in the way of danger and tidal forces. Compression rate is three."
Delta
>"The final compression layer currently mostly unutilized, mainly because the tidal forces are too strong, and materials able to withstand such pressures are extremely expensive. The compression rate is four, and as of this date the highest possible."

>>26917283
Compression Explained
>"Each layer, in addition to allowing higher speeds "compresses" space between point A and B, relative to the normal space. That means the deeper one goes, the less distance they have to travel to travel further. When put into equation it looks something like this.
S=V / L
>Where S is the distance needed to travel, made up of V, the distance between point A and B is divided by L, which is the compression rate of the layer. From this equation, it's obvious that the Alpha layer has no practical usage except for scientific research. Why is that is subject of future research."
Subspace layer structure
>"Thinking the layers are separate from our universe completely would be wrong. In fact, they affect one another in many ways. One cannot pierce the normal space whilst in the sphere of influence of a gravitational field. Many waves in the magical space are made from star explosions, pulsar rotations and many more influences. Magical sublayers leak energy onto normal space and allow for strong magic and spells. This way, scientists and engineers have been able to create sails from contained magical energies, that utilize these waves and allow immense saving of chemical fuel."

Verdict
>"This is interesting and all, but why don't we give this to the techies? They'll make something good with that knowledge. Requesting approval to send this document to the financial department for future bantering usage."

Didn't mind the story of the ending, just wish it wasn't so rushed.

If you thought Mythd was going to stop being ridiculous and nonsensical at the very end of the story, you've stuck your dick in one too many toasters.

hey eyecancer, you got any plans to continue your CYOA?

Would anyone be interested in a star wars crossover with this premise? It wouldn't be too heavy of a crosspver, just some minor things like Anon making droids or something.

>>26925349
A robot maker anpn souns cool, i'd be done for that.

>>26924065
Yes but I'm lazy. Also the update is shit. We don't like shit

>>26926371
Yes but still so huggable.

>>26925990
Well hopefully it gets to state of not being shit.

>>26927410
Hopefully it does

Okay, going to start my SW crossover. Keep in mind that this is my first green, be gentle

>You're Anonymous
>And it's been a year since the day it happened
>The day everything you stood for was stamped out like a burning cigar
>You remember it as clear as yesterday
>Everyone in your cruiser panicked when they heard the Separatist Council was murdered on Mustafar
>You managed to get away in one of the sheathipedes with your personal battle droid escort before the Empire arrived
>That didn't make much of a difference, as before you arrived to this system, your engines were damaged by pursuing fighters, whom since have left you for dead
>At the time you didn't know much about this place, other than the fact that there was supposedly a separatist factory located here
>When your ship landed, or, to say, crashed, there were no survivors
>Well none that were battle droids
>You were going to miss B-3R
>Maybe you could go back for him when you find that factory

>The rest is but a blurry mess in your head, and is no longer important
(Insert long edgy backstory of your life in horseland, might do later)

>>26928754
>What's important is that this purple little shit of a horse is calling you out
>She claims that technology such as spacecraft and simple speeders are impossible to make without 'magic'
>"I can't really believe your story Anon, buildings with over a 100 levels? Flying boats bigger than Ponyville? And yet there's no magic where you come from? Please."
"If you think I'm lying, I can assure you, there is no magic where I'm from. Before you summoned me I worked with a large organization dedicated to making these things you call myths
>Oh, and the ponies think they summoned you on your arrival
>Apparently, when you crashed here in a nearby forest, the pony before you, Twilight Sparkle, defeated some giant goat thing in a fight
>At least they don't have to know about the crater in the forest lying in which is your destroyed sheathipede
>Twilight snickers
>"You know, you've told me the same story a million times, about the 'See eye ess' and their technological advances. What makes you think I'll believe you this time?"
>Now's your chance
"If you aren't going to believe me, I might as well just walk out of this damn castle and prove it to you myself!"
>Before she can say anything, you turn around and start walking
>"Do you really think you can actually do anything out there? Without any help? Fine! I'll be here waiting when you come back to grovel at my hooves about how I was right, and that you were wrong all along!"
>You ignore her, and as you exit the castle you can hear the door slam shut behind you
>She was right, to a degree
>You'd need help

Opinions? Should I continue?

>>26928754
It barely started and its already shit ^:)
jk, go on

Also pone will be the npc's or the bosses? i ve been thinking what if they were the bosses, but knowing /mlp/ no one would want to read about anon hurting their precious ponewaifus

>>26928848
i like it so far.
openly i will say i think the opening of "twilight says it's impossible so i'm leaving" is stupid at this point like you don't have to do it.

also if you are doing SW and saying he has the remains of a ship then he should be able to not start off at steam power like other stories and shits.
i mean literal space magic lvl tech and all.

>>26928889
2nd part is wrong thread, fug...thought i had posted here

good thing i didnt waste quads at least

>>26928894
Yeah, that was sort of what I was thinking. I was going to have him take a train to Canterlot or Manehattan or something and do some things before heading back to the everfree, and starting there.

No, I'm not going to do the generic 'building muh base in the everfree', although the forest will play a part in the story. Expect an update soon

>>26928939
I'm fine with bases it makes sense for him to let's say build something close to the wreck because fuck hauling heavy shit around or horses asking questions.

also i'm a lil of a sw nerd and i'm just gonna say the seps were not all bad guys they just got used the trade federation was slighty evil in a imperil sense but compared to allot of the other starwars semi empires they were pretty passive aggressive nothing like any of the human based empires.

>>26928998
Yeah, I honestly like the separatists loads more than any of the other factions. They had the same motives as the rebels, if you think about it. If they weren't played like a fiddle they would've won the war.

But about the base thing, a lot of stories I've read with a similar premise to these, the protagonist always builds their base in the damn everfree. Annoying after a while.

>>26929036
Oh yeah i totally agree with the comparison of seps to the rebels in a way they were more pure than the rebels the rebels canon wise just wanted to reboot the old republic which was not to far off from the remnant empire or empire in general also they pretty much funded there whole movement from allowing drugs and slaves to sold on the outer rim basically.

the empire technically at least enforced laws.

"Wait, what? You're kidding, yes? Twilight isn't somepony I know that would do such a thing."
>"Believe me, you'd know if I was lying. The reason I came here today is because I need some help, Rarity. If you can lend me some bits for a meal, and a train ticket to Canterlot, I'd be in your debt."
"Hmm... while I understand the situation you're in at the moment may be rough, what happened to your bits? Surely you weren't living off of Twilight completely?"
>"No, not at all, I just wasn't able to get them before I left."

"Well, I can see you certainly need the bits, I'll only lend you them if you can do me a favor. You see, I'm working on a dress for a client, and it requires an absurd amount of rubies. My stocks are low at the moment, so if you could take these bits with you as well, and grab me a crate of rubies while you are in Canterlot, I will lend you the 150 bits you'll need for the ticket and meal. Consider the favor your repayment."
>"I appreciate it Rarity, although you don't ask for such, expect a form of.. repayment.. in the upcoming months."
"Anytime Anon, do stop by more often!"
>Anonymous leaves the store with the bits


>You're Anonymous
>And you are on your way to see your old friend, Trixie.
>When you first met, you could say she was just as bad as Twilight, on the whole magic matter.
>Ever since you've helped her get back on her fee- hooves, and move into an apartment in Canterlot though, you were able to convince her that the wonders of your past life were in fact, true.
>Besides, she'd probably be amused with your fiasco with purple magic
>Trixie aside, you decide to start thinking of what you'll do once you get situated
>Obviously you'd head back to the old shipwreck in the Everfree, but after that?
>Maybe some of that old tech is still usable. Getting at least some of the systems back online could make a big difference
>If you could get one of the scanners back online, you could possibly find the location of that old factory
>Hell, if that happens, you could practically start a war with Equestria if you wanted to
>Not to get rash, though. That would only be a last resort
>Before you could think of something else, the train screeches to a halt

Planning to use Trixie? I was not expecting that. I would love to see her reaction to star wars hologram.

Does my story seem decently paced so far? I know it's my first green but it kinda feels like I rushed the hell out of this. After starting to read the sepnon fic on the sw general I can really see where his stands higher than mine. Suggestions for improvement?

>>26921266

Whoop! never mind, I've still got a giblet planned for this bit. So bare with me; we're gonna fast forward a bit of the day. Skipping pon3 interactions. Lets just assume they met, had some milk, and he got a stereo system an a shit ton of electronica, for science; of course.

>one afternoon later
>your in twilights castle drinking a large jug of magical water
>its silent, as twilight is sitting across from you writing her pegasus manual
>rainbow dash is next to her, and occasionally she will turn to rainbow dash and ask for her input on the problem

>and you'd just sit there, enjoying your gogo juice
>great, more addicting magical substance,
>it’s the great Dark Souls summer D of 2012 all over again
>irrational fear of great-clubs, is that a thing?
>after a while they get done with their chapter and look up at you, trying to get your attention
>looks important, better check in with reality
"yeah?" you say quickly
>twilight concisley replies with "tell me about cars- why do they go so fast?"
>one would banepost at something so easy
>but you are no faggot
>okay your quite the faggot
"that doesn't matter, what matters is our plan"
>"what?" she quickly replies
"just a little ritual back in the human world."
>twilight leans in "do tell!" she continues "I love hearing about the human world!"
"oh, its nothing" you say "if someone words their sentence a particular way, its normal for a certain culture to structure their reply in a particular way. Nothing important"

>>26931957
Maybe have stuff happen during conversation.Communication is not just the words you say but what you do while you say it.As it is the characters might as well be standing on a void doing nothing but stare at each other while they read off their lines. This was more of a problem during the Rarity conversation than in the Twilight one.

Also before you switch povs maybe ask yourself "What does seeing an event from this person's perspective add or enable me to do to the story?" and "Can I convey this information through other means?". For example during the Rarity pov section, we learned from her thoughts; that she's working hard on an expensive dress; this dress requires more rubies than she has; she has not seen Anon in months; because she hasn't seen him in months she assumes it must be. In the conversation she again mentions the dress and the rubies, so effectively the only information presented to us exclusively through her thoughts were; that she's working hard; hasn't seen Anon in months; she assumes he's here for important reasons. If you had kept to an Anon pov during this scene you could have still presented this information.

Let's go through a quick walkthrough if how you could have presented this scene through Anon's pov
>walk through door, bell rings
>Rarity calls out she's in her workroom
>Anon enters workroom
>work room is a mess
>discarded design sketches everywhere
>rolls of cloth scattered every which way
>Rarity hair is a bit messy while she's focused on an incompleted ruby encrusted dress
(Do this to communicate that's really working hard on this dress)
>Anon says hello
>Rarity perks up, immediately stops working and says in a surprised tone of voice that wasn't expecting him and that it's been months
>maybe Anon's surprised or maybe not at the revelation
>Conversation
>during the talk she's noticeably not working and focused on Anon because she views the conversation as more important than the dress.
>end scene

So why a Rarity pov?

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll definitely put more thought and time into the story when I update it.

Also I did a Rarity pov b/c I didn't want the whole story being told through Anon's pov, and that was just an idea I had on doing that. If anything later I'll rewrite that section.

>>26934334
By the power of the unknown anons, I'm trying to summon a crossover of this!

>>26935407
By summon do you mean you're thinking of writing one?

>>26935395
Just try not to get too focused on rewrites. It's not uncommon for for writers to lose interest rewriting parts they already told.

>>26936873
yeah honestly it's green text not fimfiction if you make a mistake just roll with it and you can always fix it in the pastebin at the end if you want but continuous progress is better than re-writing a old chapter for honestly rather weak reasons.

We are ill suited to be soldiers. Our machines are quick. Durable. Strong. They can function nearly anywhere in the cosmos. They can sense things you’ve no words for, and they have absolutely no regard for personal safety. These machines are cheap and expendable. They are far superior. We’ve no use for soldiers.”

>Visions of a previously unimaginable future fill your mind.
>One where war has lost the gravity it now holds.
>Where nations could clash without a single soul being sent to fight and die.

That's it. I wrote this while half asleep and it turned out to be mostly rambling. I think I fixed that during editing, but some of the problem might have stuck.

I'm well aware that the consequences of desertion are pretty severe. Let's assume for the sake of fiction that Equestria's military is less strict.

>>26938670
I liked it. Great update as always.

>>26938670

doing good keeping the role, but didn't he already broken the rules?

luna could of offer him knowledge about magic? unless spike already filled that role?

>>26938670
Damn, dude is fucking cold.

>>26938728
Glad to hear it.

>>26938918
>”I’ve already greatly overstepped my bounds while here."

Yup. He blew it, he got involved. This is still mostly defensible as he was forced into this situation. Cybernetically enhancing an entire species is going a might bit further and would be harder to explain away. As for Luna, she doesn't know him well enough to know what he's after.

Is he still dead set on finishing the gate? He could just decide to not do that and live on Equis as essentially a god. He was already worrying about what the Human military was going to do with the Ponies so it's not that much of a stretch.

"Yeah.. about that.. It's been fine for the most part, but there's a problem I've had to face recently, which is reason as to why I've come to you today Trixie."
>"Really? What's happened Anon?"
"Ever since I moved in with Twilight, she's always been boasting about magic and how it's how this world is powered by it. Once I told her about the CIS and our accomplishments before I came here, she didn't believe me. Because of this, a heated argument started which ended with me leaving Ponyville, and coming to you for help."

>Fucking horses
"Anyway... the reason I came here is because I was wondering if I could stay here for a few nights until I can head out again."
>She swallows her food
>"Where will you go?"
"That's the second reason I'm here. You know the Everfree like the back of your palm, right?"
>"Why yes, I so Anon. While I regret spending so much of my time there, I am familiar with the area. Are you sayi-"
"That I want you to tag along with me? Maybe I do, Trixie. What do you say?"
>"Why do you want to go to the Everfree in the first place? Why not just stay here with me?"
>You take another look around the room
>Something about the size of a small dog scampers into the other room
>You wonder if you'll survive even a couple days
"To be honest, Trixie, do you want to know how I actually came here?"
>"What do you mean?"
"I'll explain later. Just know that it has something to do with the technology I told you about all those months ago."
>"Wait.. are you saying that-"
"Yes, I'm saying that I wasn't summoned because Twilight beat the shit out of a giant goat on steriods

I've just come back to 4chan a couple days ago, and have read bits and pieces of your story. For the most part, it's good. You just need to work on your grammar and sentence structure. I'll be sure to read the rest when I have time.

a lot of it is intentional, unless your putting aside the memespeak. but yeah, I stopped solidly proofreading in one-note and just started skimming it. so that might be an issue.

>>26941631
I'm going to start with the bad because I'm a negative person.

You pretty much forgot that caps exist in >>26941413 for starters.
You often forget punctuation at the end of sentences, mostly those that aren't attributed to a speaker. Beyond missing punctuation you often use it incorrectly; your semicolon use is especially bad. If you don't understand the proper way to use them read up https://writing.wisc.edu/Handbook/Semicolons.html or just avoid them altogether.
Now for the good.
I can't really offer any suggestions on the storytelling, I just want to see where it goes next. That's pretty good considering you're still setting things up.

>>26941870
Oh. So you're not trying on the grammar. Very well then, I'll comment on it no further.

Writefag_Is_Kill, you are amazing. Your story's plot is great, the pacing is wonderful, and it's fucking 8 trillion words long.

I know, it might seem weird to be at this point already, but I wanted to get past the buildup and into the real story. Honestly it hasn't even begun yet. You could possibly consider everything before this post a prologue. What do you all think?

>>26951130
Is the buildup that Celestia and Twilight are complete fucking assholes?

>>26951205
Possibly

Don't forget that there's an old sep war factory out there anon ^:)

>>26951130
I wanna see anon explain the war and everything to luna and trixs

"And that is basically it. After I realized my ship's engines were fried, I used what I could to get into this system's gravitational pull. It is what pulled me down here."
>Trixie is the first to speak
>"Gravitational pull? What's that?"
"A gravitational pull, or gravity. is the force of attraction between two masses. The force is proportional to the mass, and inversely proportional to the square of the distance."
