• Story: Equestria Couture (Update Part 2!)

    [Normal] More Fluttershy and Rarity fashion stuff?  Why is this interesting? These ponies have ruined me...

    Author: T-Brony Stackz
    Description: Equestria's premier fashion competition, Equestria Couture, is being hosted in Canterlot this week and Rarity is determined to take Fluttershy with her. However, once the competition starts, Rarity may be reconsidering that decision. Meanwhile, Twilight is left to take care of Fluttershy's animal friends - something that will prove quite difficult.

    1. Stupid ponies making me like fashion. I don't usually read much fanfic but maybe I'll give this one a chance.

    2. This was surprisingly well written. And I have absolutely no idea how ponies have made me like fashion competitions, but I find myself watching Project Runway now.

      It has begun.

    3. Confound these ponies making me read fics about dress making, fashion shows and caring for badly behaved yet cute critters.

      I'll have to go do something manly like eat a raw steak now.

    4. We should all show up to project runway cheering the models and designers on while eating raw steak.

      it would be epic manlyness

      OP here. Thanks for pointing out those mistakes! I didn't even notice them when I was writing. I guess I'm not too used to writing from the point of view of a pony yet. I will, though, in due time.

      And I fixed every one that I noticed, so hopefully it's all good now :D

    10. The time has come to once again answer life's most elegant question: whose couture wil endure? This is... Iron Tailor Equestria!

    11. So far the main source of conflict seems contrived. If fluttershy doesn't want to compete she doesn't have to. Nobody can force her to create a dress. The only reason I can see for this would be if she really DOES want to compete but is too shy to put herself forward, but if it's somepony else pushing, she can use that as an excuse.

      And if that's what you were thinking, that plot element needs to be right out in front of the audience. Let us see the conflict in fluttershy, and how she's hiding behind the excuse of "photo finish is making me do it" when really she wanted to all along - but only if it wouldn't hurt rarity.

    12. I agree with Escher that no one can force Fluttershy to compete. Equally I can see Rarity becoming hugely over competitive (as she already is by the end of chapter 2) and using underhanded tactics and even- shock, horror- cheating, only to see Fluttershy's half-hearted, modest effort and realising how horrible she's been to assume that her friend would try to upstage her.

      Also, I'm interested in seeing what is on Applejack's mind... is she jealous of the time Fluttershy gets to spend with Rarity, or a closet fashionista (the galoshes in Suited for Success kind of rule that out, admittedly)?

    13. I dunno, Anon, I think Fluttershy letting herself be bullied into a contest is pretty consistent with her character. Especially if, on some level, she wants to show off her stuff a little.
