Story Event Poll Results


So. It looks like you guys have all picked D by a narrow margin.

Remember when I said that there was an option in the list that you really didn't want to choose? Well, guess what? You chose it. D was that option.

Click past the page break to see what's behind Door Number One.





Yup. You all chose to have your story star the Great and Powerful Trixie. Good work!

I'm not even kidding. Seth even tried to warn you off. It was what was in my original list.




However, I am acutely aware that there are readers that don't care for Trixie at all. Therefore, I'll open up the second-place option as an alternate. You can either have your story star Trixie, or your story has to start with, "Nopony could remember a time when it had rained so hard."

Sound fair?

And then I laughed, love this blog!

YES!!!

Is there bonus points for having both?

TotalOverflow said...

Don't you guys know anything?
You ALWAYS pick C! :P

Cereal Velocity said...

@Anonymous

Nope, but it's certainly allowed!

Anonymous said...

Oh . . . look what time it is.

Anonymous said...

So are you guys going to tell us what A, B, and E were just so we can rage for not picking it?

Phoe said...

It's raining Trixie. Hallelujah.

Cereal Velocity said...

@Anonymous

I might save those for a future event, so they're hidden.

RefractedPegasus said...

You fools! You've doomed us all!

... I picked B, now I'm kinda curious what the others were.

siraj said...

I'd actually like to see a combination of C and D.

Basharoonskis said...

We don't get to see what the others were? ACK! My curiosity is killing me!

Anyways, that's pretty funny, you should've kept it as Trixie only. But that one raining one sounds good too, can we combine the two?

kwj said...

haha trixie?? u serious?? gotta love this blog well at least there are two options for those who are already tired of trixie

achesst said...

I'm sorry, but why wouldn't we want a story starring The Great and Powerful Trixie?

This seems like the best result to me.

Anonymous said...

How about "Nopony could remember a time when it had rained so hard on poor Trixie"?

FriendshipisMagic said...

You have to see the loophole. It has to "star" The Great and Powerful Trixie, not have her be the star.

Sethisto said...

Inb4 100 grimdark stories.

Poor Trixie.

I did warn you guys though, I really did.

Zarkanorf said...

THAT'S FUCKING HILARIOUS.

I love it! <3

Zarkanorf said...

@Sethisto

Seth, come on; we still love you, no matter how much we bitch! <3
300 words, right? I'll do it... after I'm done being drunk.

Anonymous said...

...Woooow. Haha, I don't like Trixie. xD.

Man, we are really amazing at choosing stuff, aren't we? :P

Anonymous said...

How did I KNOW that D would be THE "you don't want to pick this" option?
That being said, no way is Trixie "noty" status. I may not be as nuts about her as Blog Brony, but Trixie's great. And powerful. What's not to like? I mean she takes care of Ursa Majors, sheesh.

Anonymous said...

I KNEW IT
This is why I follow the golden rule: when in doubt, pick C.

Cereal Velocity said...

At the request of Seth, I've added all the available options you COULD have picked.

Remember, C and D are the only ones viable for the event!

Cottonmouth said...

Jesus christ.

I love how you went into the comments section and was like "I SURE HOPE NO ONE PICKS D! HINT HINT" so... everyone would pick D.

Really, your obsessions over animalistic cartoon creatures is disturbing.

First you fantasized about that one dragon from Spyro, and now Trixie? I'm sure I would pity your sorry ass if I saw you in real life, but right now, all I can do is hate you.

Gryrozx said...

You're really clever Cereal! We all chose the Booby Prize by a marginal amount. I was laughing my brains out when i saw the results! Man are we such eeediots for choosing D! *giggling* Trixie has won the polls and she's the one who is going to be a star.

I might think about writing something like "Duck Amuck." If i have the time. But what is the deadline?

Anonymous said...

I'm fine with Trixie.

Mexibrony said...

WOW! I knew it! This makes me want to participate even more. I <3 Trixie. Going to be my first time, hope I dont screw up.

Frank said...

GRAH This is why we can't have nice things guys! Next time you have an urge to pick D, pick A. Just change them in your alphabet from now on.

Oh wait....That's Grimdark...

Cereal Velocity said...

@Gryrozx

I have not decided on a deadline yet. I'll start the event proper in a day or two and it'll probably run a week or so.

Sethisto said...

@Cottonmouth

And then Cottonmouth exploded...again.

At least it's an entertaining persona you have going there!

ruff1298 said...

Whee! Trixie! I'll get to writing my fanon of fanfiction with her life at home with Twilight Sparkle, Midnight and Nightmare Moon.

Oopsy-doop, spoiled the big plot element, didn't I?

Neon Noble said...

300 word story, eh? I can handle this.

Anonymous said...

@Sethisto

Trixie will not appear in Season 2.

How does that make you feel?

Anonymous said...

hahaha that is awesome. C is always the best choice and this just confirms it. can't wait to see what everypony comes up with.

Anonymous said...

I chose A... Oh well.

Laurence Brown said...

So, I'm sure I missed it somewhere, but...

How/where do you want us to submit these stories? Inquiring minds want to know!

Also: Stop! Trixie Time! (cue MC Hammer dancing)

Sarah said...

In my defense, I chose A. xD

Sethisto said...

@Anonymous

Don't depress me bro.

But seriously, Twilight is still my #1 girl anyway.

Cottonmouth said...

@Sethisto

"Oh ha ha! It's just Cottonmouth!"

That's a great way to deny everything I just said.

No, I mean really. It is.

Sadly, everyone else in this fandom seems to be ignorant to what a giant closet furry you are. It's sad that such a giant figurehead of the fandom is such a lowlife.

I would probably have MORE respect for you if you came out and admitted you jerked it to Trixie everyday, but your too emotionally unstable to admit it. I fear for your personal life.

Anonymous said...

So who's going to write a [Sad]fic with pinkie Pie and "Nopony could remember a time when it had rained so hard."?

Anu Aikan said...

I'm tempted to write something with all five options plus second alternative, just because. Then again, seeing everything I've to do, I'd probably finish it by next year.

Anonymous said...

I voted D. I have no regrets!

Anonymous said...

Woot! 'D' really was for "Don't choose this one."!

Sethisto said...

@Cottonmouth

I'm pretty sure you just do that for attention at this point. Half the stuff you type can't possibly be serious.

You are pretty famous though, so it worked at least.

D. Shadows said...

Looks like story number 47 of my 50 duodenum stories will actually be used. And yes I was serious in the fact that I had 50 of them on the back burner.

Nopony Important said...

@Cottonmouth "Sadly, everyone else in this fandom seems to be ignorant to what a giant closet furry you are."

Oh I'm not ignorant, I know damn well who Sethisto is, I just can't care enough to do more than chuckle about it now and then.

Stormy Brave said...

Dang! We were sucker-bucked!

Fire Brony said...

Starting paragraph:

*... Nopony could remember a time when it had rained so hard; it was on that day that the world ended.*

Trixie, or "The Great and Powerful Trixie," as she called herself, laughed at the foolishness of all the silly little fillies that actually believed that mare's tale.

Applejack barely heard Trixie's chuckle as she walked past Sweet Apple Acres. "For the love of Celestia, not you again!" AJ facehoofed.


^Boom.

Anonymous said...

RAGEEEEEEEEEE

I think i will do the second option, maybe

Matt said...

I TOLD YOU ABOUT TRIXIE BRO!

I WARNED YOU DOG!

IT KEEPS HAPPENING!

Lovecraft said...

If I recall correctly, both C and D were winning before Seth or Cereal had said anything about there being an "option [we] won't want."

I also think that they won because when most people saw them winning to begin with, they decided to vote for either of them so they could be sure they'd have a vote in the winning option (speculation of course, but that's what I do sometimes, hah).

Anyway, not sure why there's any complaining, since we have two options to choose from, and also that Trixie doesn't have to be the focus of the fics, she just needs to be in them (if you decide to use that option, anyway) in some capacity.

But dang, there goes the ideas I originally had, haha.

Brotastic Baron said...

Hah.

9Nine9 said...

Best consequence ever.

Anonymous said...

When do we send our stuff in?

Ten Mihara said...

@Sethisto

Careful Sethisto, remember not to feed the Parasprites XD

As for the results; I'm not sure I can do a story of 300 words or less @_@ Plus, I already used the one good idea I had for Trixie, so I'm not sure if I'll be able to come up with something =O

Sheepdog said...

We've been Trixied!

Garnot said...

300 words huh? I believe I have something already cooked up pertaining to Trixie, but i'll see where this goes before I make my move.

Daffodil said...

A) This sucks. I love Trixie too much to write her. I feel like I can't get it right.

B) Totally writing a fic where Trixie and Cottonmouth have a troll-off.

I dunno bro, Seth conducts himself pretty well for a guy on the internet if Trixie fixation is the worst thing about him.

Sigh, not more Trixie.

At least we have a chance of breaking Seths obsession with her, now that we know she's not in Season 2.

I chose A because no reasonable person would put the one they didn't want first :p

How sad it must be, to live in a world of complete denial. Oh well.

I see this as an opportunity. Together we can all show Seth what Trixie really is. Lets all do this. Let's break the spell, and free him of the hold she has over him. TOGETHER!!

Zarkanorf said...

Okay, so Trixie Time. Got it.


Also, I find Cottonmouth's rage to be a pleasant thing to wake up to in the morning; he's a nice reminder that you can't win everyone over all of the time. Also his rage makes me giggle; much gentler than the bitter taste of something like coffee.

Anonymous said...

Why do I feel compelled to feed parasprites? Probably because they're being so cute in this thread.


But apart from that, I got me a 300 word trixie story. where do i put it?

Well, except "A," since that would conflict with "C."

I'm surprised nopony has said "Don't blame me, I voted C" yet. Time to remedy that.

Don't blame me, I voted C.

Now to try and think of something to write. And hope I can keep it under 300 words. Gonna be a toughie.

Anonymous said...

... Thank *Celestia* we didn't pick A. In my opinion, it woulda been kinda bumming. Though I'm sure a clever writer woulda found some way to make it ironically amusing.

For the record, the only anti-Trixie twinge I've ever had was the ED banner debacle (NO MY RAEG D: ). Besides that, Trixie's okay in my book. Maybe we'll get some more good fuzzy Trixie stuff out of this like the "Over Canterlot" treatment and the hospital kid's ward pic to fic.

Springtime Blues said...

Trixie you say? I'm okay with this. All you upset people should have voted C, the answere is always C.

the (fallen) Princess Luna said...

No wonder I picked 'E'. Now I wish I picked 'A', though.
Everything I've written has had some form of a laugh, either hysterically insane, or absolutely content and amused.

Narwhals' Bend said...

Well I said I would write one with everything so... Wish me luck!

Jelly said...

@TotalOverflow

I picked C!

Anonymous said...

Well, fuck. There goes my original idea.
Then again, maybe not...

Naxts said...

Oh man. We've just been trapped.
I picked A, and I kindda regret it now, but at least it didn't win.

Alright, Trixie time. Lets do this.

the (fallen) Princess Luna said...

This will be my first serious fic.
No pranks. No surprise twists. No time skips. No 'why is she holding a piñata?'

Bookish Delight said...

Mmm-hmm.

The second Seth dropped that hint back in the poll post, I had a sinking feeling this was what he meant. (And then I voted A.)

I love Trixie and all (seriously, I'm dedicating my biggest project to her!), but I've long since learned that you actually can have too much of a good thing. You truly, truly can.

Here's hoping this isn't the strawberry that breaks the readership's back.

...so when is this due?

purpletrauma said...

Ahahahah.

This is going to be amusing! There are bound to be some interesting fanfics coming in.

Inkwell Pony said...

@Cottonmouth

Good lord, what is it with you? Why are you even in this fandom if all you can do is complain about everything that is released by the fandom?

And Seth knew this would set you off too - apparently in rare form. He may be obsessed with Trixie, but you've got like some sort of pathological hatred of her that borders around the same area. Seriously, man, calm the heck down. Or find another old crotchety man to hang out with and take up shouting from a balcony.
