This says the balls are practically as big as a human head..

>>29325103
Do you have a problem with that?

>>29325108
I'm just worried that it won't fit

>>29325110
if youre trying to fit balls in somewhere, I'm fairly sure youre doing something wrong

>>29325159
You say that like you've never put your balls in someone's mouth while they were asleep

>>29325171
Why wouldn't you want to use your (likely princessly) testicles to either suffocate or bludgeon someone to death?

>>29325184
Now I'm all for reasonable things, but that's just a weird fetish.

>>29325190
That's not my fetish, although I can bet that someone out there gets off to it.
Temptation to write smut centered around it to find out just how many get off to it is rising.

>>29325229
Somehow there isn't a single clopfic featured today, I guess that's a void in need of filling if you see what I mean.

>>29325239
But why ruin such a wonderful quiet state with stupid fetish porn?

>>29325249
Ruining beautiful things is probably someone's fetish, in a way by doing it you're just being a good friend to someone on the Internet.

>>29325279
Fuck being a good friend to anyone.

>>29325288
Or just fuck a good friend, that's pleasurable too

>>29325292
How about I just fuck you instead, wiseguy?

>>29325299
I would, but your mom won't let go of my balls

I wouldn't be so sure. I picked a chapter at random in the 700s and it still had 1500+ views and 50+ comments
Autism knows no bounds

>>29325527
Does fimfiction have bot indexing enabled?
It's also entirely possible that all of bleedin's views are entirely accidental, too.

I hate how "Verses" are used on FIMfic to suck the dick of some "Big name" with 200-300 followers and more upvotes than the site has active members because corruption and shenanigans. Lazy cunts are desperate to copy the two or three generic headcanons everyone uses anyway, and associate their trash with the writing of someone slightly less trashy to steal fans, telling themselves members of their personal armies following each other are still real followers. Meanwhile they form rabid fan armies instead of working, eager to join in the mockery and cringe cancer and rampant bullying that kills this site for me. I cannot, in good faith, post anything on a site with moderators that check and approve/deny fics based solely on their own tastes, yet allow hate groups to rot and fester and attack newbies for not pandering to them.

Meanwhile the Undertale fandom is correctly using verses to allow fans to make fanart and headcanons and fanfics and songs without, for example, the "Gaster was a monster that tortured Sans in the name of science" people stepping on the toes of the "Gaster was a good dad that gave Sans his love of puns" people.

Do you know how it feels to know the fucking UnderTails are doing this fandom shit better than us? Not good.

>>29325536
You have too little faith. There's more comments in total than words in the average fic.
10 times more.

>>29325543
I know, right?
Can you believe they made an entire website for mlpverse fanfiction? Fucking faustfags are just in it to steal fans from the show.

>>29325543
>moderators that check and approve/deny fics based solely on their own tastes
I don't think moderators deny anything as long as the fic is even vaguely coherent

>>29325445
No updates since november? Is it finally over?

>>29325576
>as long as the fic is even vaguely coherent
Nah, I'm pretty sure that's not a requirement

>>29325631
By "vaguely coherent" I mean "contains at least some words that could belong to the English language if you squint hard enough"

>>29325543
then go suck underdick and gtfo you whiny shit

>>29325567
You're not funny. You know what I said, you're just being an ass.
>>29325576
Actually back in year two of the fandom, i submitted a 4/10 fanfic about some self-insert white Unicorn OC with red and blue hair parted like Edgeworth's hair. He's a book collecter that came to ponyville hoping to write an autobiography about whatever cool shit goes down in the most disaster-prone town in equestria. It was denied for some bullshit, the reviewer was an asshole that thought "I didn't like it, you clearly didn't read enough guides on how you're supposed to write, never use OCs ever! The fic is also too niche, not enough people like OCs so it sucks! Write something better like Twidash!" is rational and a reason to deny my fic. I lost the chapters of that fic in a hard drive failure, but at the time, I was pretty proud of that fic, and I took the rejection hard. By getting sad. Then I noticed that 2/10 and lower fics were being accepted, SOLELY to give the site's cringe cancer population fics to have a giggle about and people to bully. I called bullshit, left the fandom, came back when S4 started, and I'm here now complaining about a problem that's still fucking there.

>>29325673
>You're not funny. You know what I said, you're just being an ass
I think that you're bitter and ranting out of frustration, but you're not making any sense.
I think that there's no point discussing with you because you resent your own talent and are jealous of other people who find an audience with "2/10" fics.

So I'm making fun of you instead of trying to show you why you're wrong.

>>29325673
Haha, you are a faggot.

>>29325673
post that fic of yours or don't complain. we need proofs, anon.

>>29325691
Are you mistaking me for someone that took a dump on your french fries? Me am no angry. Me am no bitter. Me am no ur enemy. U r being a bitch. U r wrong. As usual, most likely.
>>29325701

>>29325796
Already told you why I don't have the chapters from that old fic just lying around. Read the motherfucking post before you reply. -.-

>>29325868
Is this DataBass?

>>29325868
>Are you mistaking me for someone that took a dump on your french fries? Me am no angry. Me am no bitter. Me am no ur enemy.
I don't think you can accept that you could possibly be wrong, and that your fics were rejected because they're shit, that's why I don't care about you.

You think that I'm wrong? Talk is cheap, so show us what you've done.
Post something you've written, there must be something you're proud of since you clearly think you're better then the rest of FimFiction.

>U r being a bitch. U r wrong. As usual, most likely.
This isn't a hugbox. Why don't you fuck off from 4chan instead of whining about "hate groups" and your own lack of talent?

>>29325868
I did read it. It doesn't change the fact that you fucked up twice(wrote a bad story and lost it then). And now you are complaining about that everything is shit. Maybe your story is shit and it got rejected deservedly?
I'll say it again >post your story or don't complain
or post another one and prove how good you are. Your hollow mumble costs nothing.

>>29325673
I simply don't believe you
There are simply too many shitfics, both metaphorically and literally, on fimfic for that to happen

>>29325876
Wait, are you that stalker from DeviantArt? This is Silver.

>>29326059
There are too many 0/10 and 2/10 fics on Fimfic for you to believe that a 4/10 fic would be rejected for being mediocre, rather than mockable like the 0/10 and 2/10 fics? Nice Appeal To Incredulity.

Sounds like you published a shitfic and is assblasted by the fact that people aren't liking it.

No, I don't. And if you feel that fandom is better, you're welcome to go there and stay there.

You're deluding yourself if you think this was a 4/10

>It was denied for some bullshit
If you actually managed to be denied, your fic must truly have been shit. Congratulations, you're not just a failure, you're a spectacular failure.

>By getting sad
If you got so upset that you left for two years, and is STILL complaining about your shitfic getting rejected FOUR YEARS later, you're very much far into autismland. The only thing here that's "cringy" and "cancer" is you, you child.

I don't quite know what would be the most sad scenario. Either you're telling the truth, and you're a delusional faggot, or you're wasting everyone's time pretending to be one

>You're deluding yourself if you think this was a 4/10

You haven't even read my fanfic. You're just assuming it must be bad because someone you don't like made it. How cute.

Also, didn't I already explain things well enough? Apparently not, since you didn't quite get it.

>>29326315
>You haven't even read my fanfic.
Because you refuse to show it to us.

>>29326315

Seriously, I bet even Voiceguy would be ready to read it

>>29326282
1. Yes, remove kebab.
2. Didn't I explain things well enough for you? The fic wasn't bad. It was mediocre. I admit it, the fic was mediocre. I made it years ago, it was a mediocre fic. That's why it was rejected: It wasn't all that good, it wasn't pandering fluff, it wasn't shitty meta circlejerk discord chat meme trash, and it terrible enough for the cringe cancer to have fun shitting on. It was just there, a modest little fanfic with no major ambitions or commentary or super-amazing twists, just a mediocre thing that'd only take up space and get like 5 upvotes.

>>29326315
>You're just assuming it must be bad because someone you don't like made it.
Actually, we're assuming that it's bad because it didn't even make it past the submission queue.

Just look at this:
http://www.fimfiction.net/index.php?view=category&user=253853

This asshole submits a shitfic just about every single day, and he's never been penalized for it once. Just to put into perspective how bad something has to be to not even be allowed to be seen by the public eye.

>>29326331
Then why are you so worked up over it? Move on. Write something else. It's not like creativity is a finite resource that you completely blew on this story years ago. If you're so eager to prove your worth to /fimfic/, how about writing something entirely new, just for us?

I already explained in my original post why I don't have it. If I did still have it, I would show you the fic, and you'd either make up flaws that don't exist and attack them to feel better about yourself, or you'd awkwardly admit that it isn't actually bad after all, just mediocre. You'd then claim this is the worst kind of bad and say "No wonder it was rejected!", learning nothing.

>>29326298
>>That's it, that's the way, now call me a faggot. Say something about Trump or the alt-right! Say something funny! Keep being an angry little pissbaby that still doesn't understand how screencaps work, even after all that's happened!
I think you're the one who's upset here.
It's okay to suck at writing fanfiction when you start out, of course getting rejected from fimfiction means you're pretty damn bad, but given how you react you'll never get better.

Just out of curiosity, are you on the autism spectrum?

>>29326315
>You haven't even read my fanfic.
No, but by your own admission the only person aside from you to ever read it though it was so shit that it couldn't even get published on FimFiction. That's a fucking feat for an earnestly written fic.

>You're just assuming it must be bad because someone you don't like made it.
I'm assuming it's bad because your description of it sounds like shit, the only external reader thought it was shit, and even in your own words it was a weak story (4/10). You're in agreement with yourself that it's bad, I don't need to do anything but point to what you've already said.

The fact that you've never written again, and used four years or so to come to terms with the fact that the story might not be all that good, leads me to believe that it's probably worse than you think it is. That would be the most reasonable explanation.

That said, I do believe you're just attentionwhoring now, and I guess that's a shame on me. Took the bait, or whatever the meme is these days.
So have fun with that attention, kid. You won't get anymore from me.

Time to apply the final solution.

Let's all leave the thread for a while, while Mr Artist calms himself and then leaves.

It is. It's also edgy.

>>29326526
I remember I wrote a one-chapter all-OC fic back in early 2012 that wasn't really about everything (I never finished anything beyond the introduction chapter), and even that got approved.
I honestly wish I hadn't deleted the fic in regret a year or so later, or else I would have posted it here.

>>29326565
Some guy put up the first two chapters of "The Eye of Argon", the notoriously bad with the names changed to make it pony. That got approved. "The Eye of Argon" got approved.

This guy wrote something worse than a story that became a sci-fi convention meme solely for how bad it is.

http://www.thefreedictionary.com/edgy

1. Nervous or irritable: The performers were edgy as they waited for the show to begin.
2. Having a sharp or biting edge: an edgy wit.
3. Daring, provocative, or trend-setting: an exhibition of edgy photographs; an edgy menu.

Blood gushing out of a pony's eye sockets is generally considered provocative.

So, a story involving mostly OCs. Is there a way to do it right? Assuming you have a valid reason to not be using canon characters in the first place.

>>29326631
I'm sure there are a few prudes out there who'd think so.

>>29326637
Yes
Make them interesting characters

>>29326637
>Is there a way to do it right?
Indeed, there is.

Don't use anyone's copyrighted material, and don't put it on a fanfiction site.

>>29326637
The canon characters were OCs at some point, from the writers' point of view.

There's no reason you can't tell a good story with your own original characters.

>>29326592
That's actually a good idea, I'll go try that.
I probably won't find it, since I don't remember the name of the fic, but I'll try.

>>29326599
That's pretty fucking funny.

Speaking of ripping others off, I've wondered how easy it would be to pull off something like that, just with a good story. Getting approved would probably be easy, but I wonder if any of my readers would find out if I did it with a suitably obscure story.
It would be very easy to just start with something like "The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas" and edit that into pone.
Not that I'm going to do it, because it seems somewhat pointless to do it, but I'd like to know the results if someone did it.

I've translated poems into English and posted them on /lit/ on one or two occasions just for the fun of it, and that has generally gotten good feedback.

>>29326637
Yes.

>>29326637
>Assuming you have a valid reason to not be using canon characters in the first place.

It all depends on what that reason is.

For example, say you're setting the story in the far future or the past, where all if not most of the characters from the show aren't alive. Are you doing it to contrast how different this time period is in contrast to the one shown in FiM?

Or say your story takes place in some town other than Ponyville. Will the particularities of this town and the way it integrates with the rest of Equestria play into the story?

Maybe you're writing about a group of gryphons, changelings, minotaurs, Diamond Dogs, or whatever other species you may choose. Will the specific qualities of that species, or the way they are viewed by pony society play a major role in the themes of the story?

Are you using those OC's to tell a story that expands the universe of Equestria in some way rather than just tell an otherwise original story but with pony references thrown in to be able to post it here?

If so, then you may have a solid starting point to tell a story with just original characters.

>>29326660
Couldn't find it, though I did find a old story I wrote back when prompts and 30 minute fics were still a thing:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1j6ITSaWYLwTT0NeUXChF1VS5LbwjwGi62GHxe4kREkc

Aside from >greentext a few years ago, that story is the only horsewords I've written and published since 2012.

>>29327062
It's a bit silly, but not too bad

Oh boy, more DataBass drama.

Maybe he should write a fic about it - would still be better than what he did before.

Estee- 2 new fics in the span of three days, a dark comedy and a ducktales crossover. both of which are at the top of the featurebox.

>>29325673
Fimfiction does not reject fics for any of those reasons. Are you talking about some other site?

>4/10
Where do you get that from? Who rated it if it never got posted?

https://www.fimfiction.net/story/209404/changeling-in-the-pool

The writing is pretty amateurish and laying it on a bit thick with the situational comedy, but overall it's readable and the bonus chapter makes it funnier.

6/10: Not mindblowing, but I've seen much worse in the feature box

The most viewed story of the month.

- The 2nd place winner of some foalcon contest, which is apparently a thing
- Some HiE crackfic edited by a bunch of anons
- The mare from germaney
- More cheap clop and a couple Anon in Equestria

I hope y'all are proud of yourselves!

>>29328308
Hmmm...
You know, I have to wonder why Bleedin' doesn't cater to obscure generals in the board and then puts his stories up on FiMFiction, like a lot of people do. It would at least guarantee him some views and a few comments at worse, and 500 upvotes and 200 comments at best.

>>29326637
Make sure you give them proper characterization. With canon characters you can skimp on establishing the characters' personalities and get away with it, because everyone already knows what Twilight and them are like.

IMO you don't need an excuse to use OCs over canon characters if that's what you want to do. The real issue is when your characters end up so human-like in behavior that the reader can forget they're reading a pony fic.

>>29328308
>pedofic
>crackfic
>nazific
>beastialityfic
So the fandom is just being its regular self?

>>29326637

Yeah, you can write a good story using entirely OCs. You'll need to do more work to fill in their characterization, and even more importantly to get the readers to care about them.

Fanfiction gets to borrow existing canon as a shortcut, to tell stories more easily, and get away with omitting some details that people already collectively know from other stories. (You still need to characterize canon characters, but you don't need to tell people things they already know.) By using entirely OCs, you're giving up one of those shortcuts, and you'll have to actually do all the work.

>>29328308
"Rating" produces much better results.

Or, honestly, just sort by "updated", use "not this tag" filters as needed, and keep going until you see update dates before the last time you checked.

>>29325543
>join in the mockery and cringe cancer and rampant bullying that kills this site for me
Your fic was most likely terrible and you made things worse by replying. The hugbox that is Fimfic never gets aggressive unless the author initiates it.

>approve/deny fics based solely on their own tastes
The mods don't give a fuck about stories. That should indicate just how blatantly your's violated the rules.

>>29325673
>that thought
Why are you quoting him? PMs on Fimfic are indefinite. Just take a screencap of it and post it so we can see just how much of an asshole he was.

Of course, I know you're either full of shit or are vastly exaggerating, so there won't be any screencap.

Why are you here?

Serious question. I am honestly curious.

Given your point of view, I find it hard to believe you visit 4chan regularly. But if you're just here to defend DataBass >implying you aren't him, then surely you remember what happened last time? Aside from yourself, there was unanimous consensus that Meester did nothing wrong and that DataBass is a whiny little shit with a persecution complex.

How about you give us something concrete? The PM from the mod rejecting your story would help. Better would be an actual story of yours. (Surely the story from 2012 that you lost isn't the only thing you've ever written?)

Until then, all we have to reason with is the vague information you've given and some previously-established facts (such as "fimfic mods will approve damn near anything" and "most authors overrate the quality of their own fics").

The biggest issue on fimfiction, besides the website's horrendous code, is the absolute lack of quality control by mods

>>29331495
>the absolute lack of quality control by mods
That is a Good Thing™. Censoring books, or even just internet fanfiction, is not a thing you do.

Quality is not an objective thing, especially when we're talking about My Little Pony Fanfiction.

Some people would reject 99% of the content out there, some people would reject that specific fetish that you're into, some people would accept stories from their friends but reject other things for arbitrary reasons.

You might say "but they should at least ban the obvious incoherent stuff", and that's pretty much what they already do today, except the line is still blurry an arbitrary, and as a result people still complain that their crap got rejected.

So stop being a fascist fuck and if you don't like something, ignore it.

>>29331484
>Tell me, how do you believe "Your fanfic isn't real you must be lying because Fimfiction is perfect" and "Your fanfic was actually terrible because Fimfiction is perfect" at the same time?

I don't see where either of these assertions was made at any point.

>>29331484
It looks like you're not being honest with yourself, anon.

You don't want to face the truth, you just want to feel right.

>>29331518
Is it also censorship if a book publisher rejects me for sending in an unedited fanfic of My Immortal written on greasy burger wrappers?

>>29331456
>This really is that guy from deviantart, isn't it? The one with the improperly capitalized name?
Sorry, I don't participate in the DeviantArt community. The fact that you apparently do makes me wonder about your age, though.

>"Hurr durr it makes them think they're being attacked"
1. Someone saying your fic is bad does not qualify as an attack. Doubly so if your fic legitimately is quite bad.

2. The mods telling you to use the tools they have already provided, instead of crying to them over every little thing, definitely does not qualify as an attack, or even incompetence.

>>29331484
Please keep your DeviantArt posting style on DeviantArt.

>I forgot the password and email I used back then.
Password and email for what? I don't care what site you use, just post something you've written so we can judge more accurately whether fimfic's approval process is actually broken in the way you claim.

>YOU LIAR
Nobody's accusing you of lying. But given information from other sources, it seems more likely that you misjudged the quality of your fic (i.e., you think it's 4/10, but a more objective reader would rate it lower) than that fimfic approvers are rejecting 4/10 fics based on personal biases.

>Fascinating. Tell me, how do you believe "Your fanfic isn't real you must be lying because Fimfiction is perfect" and "Your fanfic was actually terrible because Fimfiction is perfect" at the same time?
Cool strawman, bro. I especially like how he holds an opinion that nobody in this thread has ever expressed.

>>29331518
This desu.

>>29331523
To be fair, we have actually suggested that his fanfic was probably terrible. The first one, though, he completely made up.

>>29331531
>To be fair, we have actually suggested that his fanfic was probably terrible.

Well, yes, but that's not a judgement contingent upon the perfection (or imperfection) of Fimfiction, as he claims.

Stop.

Fucking.

Replying.

>>29331547
I think his claim was, more precisely, that because we believe Fimfiction's approval process is "perfect" (in that it does not reject good fics), we concluded that his fanfic was actually terrible.

>>29331529
Lemme defend that strawman for a moment.

No it isn't censorship, since it will be rejected because of the burger wrappers, and that's a fair policy that makes no judgment based on the contents of the book.

>>29331573
But it would be censorship if it was written on actual paper?
Are you actually saying every publisher in existence practices censorship?

>>29331576
Bad analogy.
Fimfic is the printer: they'll distribute anything you send them, for enough money (but since this is online, that's $0).
EqD is the publisher: they selectively publish only fanfics they think are good.

Now consider how many good fics don't make it onto EqD for one reason or another.

>>29331576
Now you're specifically taking an example where quality control is necessary, and even though it's a tough line to walk I'll try to address your specific example instead of using a better analogy.

>But it would be censorship if it was written on actual paper?
The word censorship has a very negative connotation and is typically only used in the extreme cases, but I'll be using a slightly broader definition here. If it is rejected based on its contents, then yes, it technically qualifies as a kind of censorship, the question is to what degree.

Just like everything in life, the situation is not black and white.
If you reject a text because it is gibberish, that barely qualifies as censorship. If you reject it because it talks about magical ponies and you find that ridiculous, then you are effectively censoring a whole class of texts, but few people would stand up for it. If you reject a book because it talks about pornography and you find that wholly objectionable, that is clear cut censorship.

However, I'm going to argue that censorship is not necessarily a bad thing, depending on context.
Sometimes quality control is in fact necessary, especially when accepting things incurs a cost.

>Are you actually saying every publisher in existence practices censorship?
I'll be using my perhaps slightly broader definition of censorship and taking the position that there is a kind of minor censorship which is justified and acceptable, and that this is what they are practicing.

The only difference is in how far you go and what lines you cross.
If what you're censoring is pedopornography, few people will bat an eye. Censor anything supportive of a political party but not the other, and you spark a very much justified shitstorm.

So in essence some censorship is fine and everyone does it to an extent, but unless it costs you anything or unless it's something that no reasonable person could possibly object to censoring, then you shouldn't suppress it.

i'm getting much better at not getting upset these days--i just call out the people who are shitty, they do their shitty song and dance for the world to see, and then i point and say "Look, i was write!" (Yes, ahaha).
people think they're gonna convince me i'm a bad person with some drawn out essay? what about 'death-of-the-author', numb-nuts? i don't care what you think about me, i care what you think about the story. and if you can't separate the author and the story then you're living in romantic literature still and you should probably go reread Frankenstein like twenty times. Or The English Patient by Michael Ondaatje. Hell of a book.

Physics here, too. I know the pain, I'm getting myself into deeper and deeper shit every semester it feels like.

>>29341037
My negro.

So, I started reading 'The Spectacular Seven' because 'Long Road to Friendship' tickled my fancy for slow cooking romance stories and satisfying Slice of Life, and I expected the sequel to be just as engaging.

And it is... save for one issue.

The first two chapters are just frontloaded with exposition. And it's not even interesting exposition that deepens information abut the characters or the 'lore' for a lack of a better word.

It's the worst kind of exposition. It's the "let's hit the brakes on the narrative, stop all progression, and restate information that anyone who even barely paid attention to Long Road to Friendship should know."

Hey, that's Sunset's dog, let's devote an entire paragraph to explain the circumstances of his adoption. Oh, look, it's Trixie, let's sum up the entire development between their characters in a few sentences.

Was any of this necessary? Is anyone reading this who hasn't read the first story? I mean, I know the average FiMFiction reader has the attention span of a five year old in a a sugar rush, but it's kind of insulting.

I mean, all that exposition isn't even presented in an interesting way. It's not woven naturally in a conversation, painting a few strokes of what came before. This is just stopping all the momentum of the story to deliver a quick recap of the previous story, and it happens all the time. I lost count of how many times, and I'm only in chapter two.

The worst part is that there are moments where the backstory is presented without a line of exposition, but through the characters' actions, and it works much better.

Did Albinocorn really think everyone would have forgotten everything about Long Road so quickly?

>>29341395

>Its annoying to you because you're going straight from one to the next
I read the first story last year, I only picked Spectacular Seven right now because it has a decent wordlength and it seems to be updating somewhat constantly.

Even then, there are better ways to sneak refreshers into the story than pausing the flow of the actions, describe what happened in th elast story, and then continue.

There are moments where it's better integrated, and if I wasn't so tired, I'd post some examples here.

Maybe tomorrow.

>>29342304
>Almost exactly three months
Oh. dunno then.

But most sequels do provide some backstory to recap for old readers or for people too stupid to start at the beginning, so I can't fault that being done. It sounds like he just executed it poorly

>>29350658
I'm pretty sure my overall opinion of Life is Strange would be better if the last episode never happened.

>>29349541
I can handle a lackluster ending; I'm a filthy Homosuck, after all. I'd prefer that over no ending at all.

What I can't handle is >>29350795 what this anon said. There's a definite difference between a disappointing/meh ending and an outright repulsive one that retroactively ruins what had been a good story. At that point I'd prefer it just never finishes. I'm not familiar with that anon's example, but mine is and forever will be Beating the Heat.

So I guess my answer is generally I prefer at least some sort of ending, but there's definitely some extreme counter-examples.

Prologue
Chapter 1
Part 1

Derpy Hooves didn't look like a bank robber- her cute crossed eyes fooled just about anyone. But she knew that she would be ready to kill if she had to this morning. She would find out for sure ten minutes past eight.

The 24-year-old pony had a grey coat, bright yellow mane to match her crossed eyes, and some nice bubbles on her flank. One of the only morning commuters noticed him as she walked from a thick stand of evergreen trees, where she hid.

She was just outside the City Bank of Luna's Night, just before eight. The branch for scheduled to open in 90 seconds. She knew from her talks with the Masterhorse that it was a freestanding bank with two drive-through lanes. I was surrounded by a bakery on the left, and a music shop on the right. At 8 o'clock on the dot, Derpy approach the bank from her hiding place in the evergreens under a colourful billboard obnoxiously selling some kind of breakfast stop to the public. From that angle she couldn't be seen by the female teller who is opening the glass front door and momentarily stepped outside. A few strides from the teller, she slipped on a rubber mask. She knew the bank tellers name, and she spoke it clearly as she pulled out hogan and pressed against a small of the woman's back.

"Inside Ms. Mango Breeze. Then turn around and lock the front door again. We're going to see your boss, Mr Drop"

Oh short speech at the entrance to the bank was scripted, word for word, even the pauses. The Masterhorse said it was crucial that the bank robbery proceeded in a specific order, almost by note.

" I don't want to kill you, Mango. But I will if you don't do everything I say, when I say it. It's your time to talk now, darling. Do you understand what I just told you so far?"

Mango Breeze nodded her mane of short Orange hair so vigorously that her wire-rimmed glasses nearly fell off.

" Yes, I do. Please don't hurt me," she gasped

>The 24-year-old pony had a grey coat, bright yellow mane to match her crossed eyes,

This bugs me aesthetically because it feels like ticking off the boxes in describing a character and getting it done with and out of the way. It's very bland and obvious. The specificity of saying she's 24 is particularly annoying to me.

>and some nice bubbles on her flank.

...But I do like that you say her bubbles are nice.

>she pulled out hogan and pressed against a small of the woman's back.

So, who is Hogan, and your parsing here is all messed up, and are these ponies or anthro or human or what?

>>29331298
That line seems to put many people off from Seeking Power. Personally, it made me laugh. I really doubt the author intended that line to be taken seriously, and I don't think the characters meant it to be either; I took it more as two nerdy parents joking with each other, along with a wink to the readers.

The rest of the story seems to do well at showing actual signs of Twilight's creativity, rather than just making it an informed attribute. That seems like the critical distinction between good and bad attempts at rationalist fiction: the bad ones have no idea how to show intelligence in-universe, so they just tell instead.

>parody
>plot involves a serial killer and Twilight becoming obsessive, trying to distract herself from a personal crisis
Parodies are usually subversive--they poke fun at the source material by comedically analyzing (Masterhorse has an incredibly difficult time killing the bank employees after the Royal Guard start protecting them) or exaggerating (Masterhorse kills entire cities while Twilight's so obsessive, she can hardly walk without connecting random things to him) the plot.

Based on this synopsis, I would not be able to tell it's a parody. Perhaps you mean adaption, where you're taking the plot of something and fitting it into Equestria?

It's not like Germany ever really stood a chance anyway.
Barbarossa was a really good attempt, and hit with relatively good timing, but the Germans could never hope to allocate enough of their war effort to the Soviets, especially considering the superior Soviet numbers and industrial output.

>D-25T - tank gun variant (T stands for tankovaya, ‘tank’ adj.) . In the last days of November 1943, Fyodor Petrov's artillery design team tried the D-25 122mm corps [...]against a captured German Panther tank. [...] Firing from a distance of 1200 m,[14] the round pierced the front glacis, made its way through the engine block and penetrated the rear plate too

They churned out about 3500 IS-2 tanks with this gun and 2500 towed version of it, not including the 30 000 T-34/85s and 2500 Su-85s with a better gun than your German engineering Krupp Stahl Tiger using more fuel than a heavy bomber

I finally went through my Read Later list and read "One Last Quest"

Man, it really was a great story. It's fun to see how headcanons have evolved since the show started, and how the show has set parameters for certain developments (for better or for worse) but mostly for worse.

If there's one thing I absolutely loved about that story was how effortlessly it painted a vivid Equestria beyond the confines of its narrative.

We never get a full explanation of the Kin of Luna and the rebellion, but we get enough strokes to paint a full picture in our minds.

All in all, it was a very entertaining read.

https://www.fimfiction.net/story/82748/princess-celestia-the-changeling-queen

Original, richly detailed, with believable characters and backstory.

Trying to find a story about Pinkie Pie. It was a one-shot, probably just barely over the minimum word count. It was about Pinkie, but with little or no dialogue directly from her; a couple of other characters were having a conversation about her, and her capabilities.

Not-so-long story short: turns out friendship really is magic, and Pinkie is friends with literally everyone, so she's the most magical pony ever.

>>29360534

Can you describe in 2,000,000 words or less what it's about and what's great about it?

>>29360904
>Can you describe in 2,000,000 words or less what it's about and what's great about it?

Minimally spoilery summary (for the first few chapters): something happened to Princess Celestia, she wanted her kingdom taken care of, and a changeling in the midst of her own series of life-altering unfortunate events comes along. Now, suppose a changeling replaced Princess Celestia, and received all the love and adoration Celestia receives from all her little ponies; that changeling might become as powerful as an alicorn, with the ability to raise the sun and moon.

That happened a little more than a thousand years ago; she's had a thousand years to become the role. We're now coming up on a certain wedding. Cadence and Shining cast a spell that affects all changelings. And a thousand-year secret is revealed to a small handful of ponies. Meanwhile, the other changelings aren't going to sit idly by after the failed invasion.

In addition to all of that, the story goes into depth about changeling culture and history, with a substantial amount of headcanon that goes far beyond the standard fanon.

> Also, do I need to read the prequel?

It's not really a prequel; for some reason the author marked the main story as a sequel to it, rather than the other way around. It's a set of side stories (which only has one side story in it at the moment). Read the main story first.

>>29360534
>What were people's first fanfiction stories?

Non-pony, the first fanfiction story I ever read was HPMOR; it was well-known enough and recommended by people I trust, which got me past the notion of "fanfiction? seriously?".

>Prologue: The Promise (Majorly Rewritten)
This doesn't exactly instill confidence. But the premise sounds cool so I'll give it a try anyway.

>>29360741
If you liked "One Lat Quest," I greatly recommend "Children of the Sun" by the same author, though from the description of the story it sounds like you might be talking about Children instead of Quest. Either way, both stories are very good and written in a similar style (same author and all), with some similar themes and good worldbuilding. Both stories also have the advantage of having mature protagonists instead of wide-eyed teenagers, which gets a little old after a while.

bigest waste of time and good writing. I am not asking for a happy ending but that fic's ending didn't make use of any of the development it built up other than use it to piss in your face.

Not to get in the way of whatever this is, but what would you call this area on a pony?

Since this is kind of the area where the "arm", neck, and chest all kind of come together it's analogous to a shoulder, but I wouldn't call it a shoulder. Is it just the chest, but from the side? See, on a dog or cat I wouldn't call this area the chest, since that's kind of between their front legs. The front flank? No, that's stupid.
