    1. Well, this new thing is off to a promising, if kind of 'eh' start. Very jarring to just break into Ponies in Space with the lampshading like that, though. That one was just starting to get good, as I recall. I did like the line about the Eldritch Abomination, admittedly.

    2. Wait, so now Luna's secret identity has a secret identity?

    3. Eldrich Abomination under Ponyville: Don't be silly.

      ...the abomination is sleeping under the Everfree Forest.

    4. Good lord I loved the Luna vs a threesome part, especially when she said that Celestia ordered her to get a few of her guards and they were going to "run the train on her" XD, I was on the floor and couldn't breathe because I was laughing so hard from that part. All in all, the entire series deserves all the stars it can get. Hands down 5 out of 5!

    5. I must have missed the memo that Luna VS Threesome is now canon.

      It is canon, right?

      ReplyDelete
    6. Right. Luna cannot find any crime to fight, so she's going to create an arch-villain so that she can defeat them and inspire ponies to not commit crimes. There is no way in which this could go wrong.

    7. Luna would appear to have better luck as a Detective than a crime fighter.

    8. Sorry for my lack of comprehension, but this opening line confuses the manure of of me...

      "Sundance had been with Luna for over a year now, through thick and thin and giant robots. She had saved her from Discord taking her... Something she tried not to have nightmares about. She'd married her and Hoyden... Late at night and then kissed the two of them..."

      It makes it sound like Luna vs. Threesome is a bit more canon than was originally intended! LOL! Not that there's anything wrong with that! :D

    9. I love the superhero checklist. As well as the Shout Outs to Watchmen, Darkwing Duck, and the fact that Luna is narrating her own 'adventures.'

    10. Reminded me of the Monty Python bit with the mafiosi planning a bank deposit. "Are you crazy? We've been planning this operation for months, we're not gonna jeopardize it by doing anything illegal!"

    11. I kind of wish I could star these stories individually so I could give Celestia versus Time and Luna versus the Microwave the high rating they deserve.

      ReplyDelete
    12. dont know what it is, but it's changed, it was wayyyyy better for the first 10-ish hell 20-ish. Luna in space at best was a hit and miss and Im hoping this superhero thing gets funnier. Sure the lines of nostalgia are cool but its not as funny as the earlier ones.

    14. Oh god, Luna's completely lost it. XD

      So, uh, she's married to Sundance and Hoyden? That's... odd.

    15. Liking the new story arc. Keep up the good work.

      If I maybe so bold as to suggest a topic for a future story, I was re-reading the Lodging arc and noticed that Celestia said "I think that the two of us should try to live like normal ponies for a while..." and "we can pose as normal ponies." I know you structured "Progress" to be just about Luna, Sundance and Hoyden, but maybe you could have a chapter about Celestia staying the week-end with them or something(in disguise of-course ). Luna is not to happy about the arrangement. They do the whole sibling rivalry thing, telling embarrassing stories about each other etc. and end up becoming closer as sisters or something.

      I think he meant that Luna presided over the wedding of Sundance to Hoyden, not that she got married to each of them.

    17. @Present Perfect

      Sundance is so silly complaining about due process. Silly girl, such a thing is MEANINGLESS in a divine aristocracy! They do as they please, with no fear of reprisal FOR THEY ARE AS GODS!!

      Now be silent and obey the mad goddess, or you'll be lookin' fer bananas ON THE MOOOOOOOON!! ;3

      Yes, Hoyden wants his Sexy Breakfast smokin' hot.

      "She slid to a stop on top of a McDonner's, a franchise restaurant identified by it's twin golden antler logo"

      That line was genius.

    19. Need PDF, or ANYTHING document related! D: Can't save anything from Fanfic, so can't read on Kindle.

    20. @superdeluxeultra
      It's a bit of a rigamarole, but you can fix that.
      1) Copy text from Fanfic.net
      2) Paste into Word or OpenOffice and format as desired.
      3) Print the document through any PDF printer, such as CutePDF.
      4) Put that on your Kindle and smoke it. :)

      Or you could just use the Fanfiction Downloader.

      http://fanfictiondownloader.appspot.com/

      Much easier.

      Stick that in your Nook and smoke it.

      Ker-bookmark. I don't even have an e-reader (yet!) and this'll be useful.

    23. The space story is kicked out? Well, at least I haven't tied my story back in using that yet.

      But not how are you going to fix the beginning of this arch?

      "After the whole... Being fired from the Space Program... Thing, I've been working to catch up on other matters of state."
      You have a replacement in mind or are you opening a plot hole?

      ReplyDelete
    24. I've got a replacement. You'll see it on FIMfiction.net.

      ReplyDelete
    25. @Andrew ok, I was wondering as my current plans had my story linking back into yours right before the space story and I tend to wonder about plot inconsistencies.

    26. Funny Progress updated today. I just watched the new "Regular Show" episode earlier today. The episode was "Skips vs. Technology". Skips (as shown in a previous episode) is very old, beyond what is natural. He was shown in this new episode today to have fought in the Revolutionary War during the late 1770s, and basically ends up a few hundred years later working as the maintenance guy at the park, which was once a battlefield where he fought on in the past... All his fixit experience involves manual repair and labor... carpentry, etc. He is asked to try to fix a computer, and fails to understand the technology... miserably! All his attempts to fix the problem end up making it worse. By the end of the episode, a virus is escaping the computer and is threatening reality, and he ends up destroying the computer. It was a perfect parody of the famed 1984 macintosh commercial!

      I couldn't help but think of Luna vs. Microwave the entire time. It was weird. I'm quite sure it's only coincidence. 'm certain they were parodying something else... But was the first chapter of Progress inspired by anything in particular?

      I just thought he whole thing was hilarious!

      Well, I should sleep. I'll load progress onto my tablet tomorrow and enjoy every last morsel of comedy!

      Good night!

    27. I know this is a bit late, but sorry Andrew, I disagree with making 'Luna vs Threesome' an official part of the storyline. That's not why I read Progress.

      If it were official but still separate to the main Progress arc, that is fine, but I'd rather it not be a part of the storyline itself (that is, you should not have to read it to understand what's happening in later chapters).

    28. Still waiting for chapter 29...though i guess since he is rewriting it after the whole space story arc...

    29. Probably the first MLP fanfic I read. So many memories looking back at this.
