June Friendoff: The Compilation


Puns everywhere.

This post would have come to you guys sooner, but Megasweet was doing a drawing Livestream last night. I had to watch it in the interests of science. I'm sure you understand.

I'll be compiling these in a way similar to what Seth did for the previous event. Art entries will get a red tag, and story entries will get a blue tag, so you can scroll through quickly and find what you're looking for.

I received 60 entries, by the way! A better turnout than last Friendoff! I'm proud of you guys. We beat Seth! Well, technically, you all beat Seth. I didn't do anything.

SUPER FUN BONUS EVENT GAME: Take a shot every time a story was written about a Madmax image.

Makes up for the fact that I managed to submit my own name incorrectly for my story entry in #10... How do you get your own freaking name wrong??

Also it says 60 entries but it only goes up to 58. What gives.

Oh wow, someone did something for Hoennshy. That's awesome.

Have to start reading some of these.

#s 9 and 17 have two entries in each number.

Okay... Now that I've read the story with 58...
they done got those two good!

I opened "Celestia the Maid" but I haven't started reading it because I can't get past d'awwwing over Luna.

18 looks absolutely amazing.

I cant wait to read all of these

Bosstone said...

Darn, I was hoping for some SGE art. XD Good stuff here though.

Adrian Brony said...

@Bosstone
tell me about it, lol. Every friendoff I get my hopes up even when I know I probably won't get anything, lol.

Cereal Velocity said...

I'm surprised my story got art for it. Made my day.

Anyway, thank you to Seth for fixing the page break and the broken link. I was out at dinner!

25 is very touching
44 creeps me out, but in a good way!

He still needs to update #52's info with the artist's name while he's at it.

Great. I'm already three drinks to the wind when I read this post and your "SUPER FUN BONUS EVENT" challenge.

Just so you know, If your ears are burning tomorrow morning, it's because I'm cursing your internet handle name in between hangover dry-heaves.

In regards to Assassinshy, I did not draw that. I don't know who did.

Bunch of links are busted. Including Nightmare Moon's New Image.

Idess said...

Thanks for all the compliments on my art guys :o I have now uploaded the piece to DeviantArt and such for those who like that sort of thing!

LunaFTW said...

@Cereal Velocity

The link to number 42 is wrong. It links to 39's story. Just a heads up.

Atlur said...

A story for one of my drawings? That's exciting! :D I am flattered, and will now go read it. Next time one of these rolls around, I'll have to draw art for a story (which means I'll have to read some stories)

uberPhoenix said...

There's only three shots to the drinking game. I was expecting more.

Edef said...

Fix Assassinshy artist credit as well please.

Anonymous said...

Top Gear and Ponies. That combination is completely ridiculous and yet it works. I kind of want to see how the episode played out. Also: 42 links to the wrong story.

NinesTempest said...

What scene is 57 from, I don't recognize it at all except for spitfire...

42 is fixed now!

Edef, who drew it?

Right. I'm a total idiot. Please ignore the last part of my previous comment

Cereal, thank you not only for fixing my name, but also for all the time this must have taken. Please know that the hard work you (and everyone else at this blog!) puts in for the rest of us in the fandom is greatly appreciated!

Edef said...

@Cereal Velocity

I don't know, but crediting no one is better than crediting me for the time being.

Cereal Velocity said...

@Laurence Brown

No problem, bro. I do it out of love! Cause I love you guys. And ponies. Mostly ponies. But also you guys. <3

Chris said...

Right, time to begin my quixotic quest to comment on every single story. Mini-reviews, ho!


3) Celestia the Maid: That was a sweet idea. I can see Celestia having a good time pretending to be a commoner for a day (though I hope she had words with Luna's guards afterwards).

6) Mare on the Moon: I'd be pretty pissed off if I was Luna, too. I mean, you knew she was there. Would it have killed you to put in an extra seat?

8) Bath Day Bubbles: I hope Derpy used the 'no tears' bubble bath formula, or things could take an unpleasant turn very soon...

10) The Cutie Mark Crusade: I was half-expecting this story to end with the CMC being sold into slavery in Tunisia (Trotnisia? Hoofnisia?). I thought it was a surprisingly in-character take on the picture it's based on.

11) Fly: Interesting concept, but it suffers from lack of editing. I found the combination of style distracted me too much for me to really enjoy the story.

13) Ponyville Drift: Good thing all Suponus come equipped with 4-wheel drive... I really hope Derpy made Dinky wear her seatbelt, the way she drives.

More as I continue reading...

How the hell did 28 get in? Things terrible

#12 - Whoah, there's actually an official Google Docs link for Cupcakes???

*scans to the end*

Wait, what? SILVER SPOON??? She wasn't in the original... *reads in detail* ....OOOOOHHH.

Well played, internet. Well played.

ToonNinja said...

6. Manly, manly tears. Luna finally gets a hug, finally gets to see other people, and then...?
15. Hilarious.
55. A rather realistic reaction for the mane cast when they figure out that they're being... watched. It'd probably be really, really weird to be shipped in real life.

PK said...

41- ohmygoshohmygoshohmygosh!

This is SO AWESOME I HAD NO IDEA ANYONE WAS DRAWING THIS I LOVE YOU FOREVER. Next chapter is tonight or tomorrow by the way :o

Rad Ross said...

WOW! A pic for my story, #56!

Thanks!

Anonymous said...

Wait why are there 2 #7s?

Chris said...

More mini-reviews, for your mini-reviewing pleasure...

14) Trixies: If someone actually made this commercial, I would buy 500 cases of the cereal. Hasbro/cereal companies, are you listening?

15) Bon-Bon Surfs the Ponynet: SO. MANY. PUNS. I really enjoyed this one, the humor was constant!

19) The Edge of Tomorrow and Forever: I really appreciate the mythological feel of the story. The ending does seem a little abrupt, however. I'd have liked to see this expanded a bit, maybe sow the seeds of NMM or show Celestia and Luna greeting the earth ponies, pegasi, and unicorns.

22) All My Life: An interesting story. As you noted yourself, it could use another round of editing, but the story makes the reader think, and I appreciate that.

23) End of Equestria: Certainly the saddest story I can ever remember reading. The shout-out to a certain hippy carpenter at the end gave me one heck of a case of mood-whiplash, but it felt strangely appropriate.

24) Obsidian Star: This certainly wasn't a bad story, but Twilight's conversion at the hands of the elements was awfully quick. Wouldn't she at least put up some token resistance to to becoming Obsidian? Still, I enjoyed it well enough.

I'm going to take a break now (a dozen stories seems like a good beginning), but I'll be back later tonight and do the rest. Or at least, some more. We'll see if I make it though every story tonight, or if this is going to be a two-day project.

ADriftingThought said...

I thought this was pretty good. I will admit that I was kind of hoping for artwork of my story. Better luck next time I suppose.

Narwhals' Bend said...

FINALLY! I NEED TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO TANTALUS!
In other words, I am excited.

Honored that somepony (#54) made arts based on my story! *squee!* Also, glad I made it in time (#51).

#27 is going to keep me up nights. So creepy and sad.

@Laurence Brown
You're welcome again. (And again, link it to your story if you want.)

When I drew the original for the Art Training Grounds #13 (entry #112) I thought "This so looks like a picture on a wanted poster." So I did just that (and had actual fun faking the textures & tears!)

Anonymous said...

Dear Madmax,

I LOVE YOU! Your submission is so perfect for my favorite story!

Sincerely,
Anon

Grey Prophet said...

I'm honored that the artist chose my story to draw and I thank him/her, but I just wish it was a happier scene. But hey, if the little grim part inspired them, I have no problem.

Aku said...

Oh no! My submissions aren't here! What did I do wrong?

Great bunch in this friend-off

Loved the art in #1, #18 and #44. Perfect depictions of the stories.

I'd love to how the rest of #29 goes.

Surprised I like #52 as much as I did. The characterization seemed spot on and I thought it was a sweet little story.

Kkat said...

All of them?

Well then, I can't wait to hear your mini-review of my fanfic. Might want to save it for last though. It's... a little longer than most of the others.

Crimson Valor said...

HiddenBrony said...

@Page
I'm taking it that people want a part 2, then... I was afeared of that.

Chris said...

We're going BACK...to the MINI-REVIEWS!


25) Runaway Dreams: I really liked this picture when I first saw it, and this story is a perfect fit for it. Imaginative and thought-provoking. I approve.

28) Luna's Nightmare: Some of the descriptions were a little confusing, and the period missing from the last sentence bothered me more than most grammar errors (all authors, take note: if you can't fix every error in your document, AT LEAST make sure the first and last paragraphs are perfect. Please!). The idea was solid.

29) Friendship is Rubbish: I've never even seen an episode of Top Gear, but this was still amusing. Just one question: exactly what kind of 'parties' are you suggesting Pinkie's been throwing?

30) Apple Bloom and the Magical Rubious Crystal of Bellemare Sands: A long one, eh? Let's go! ...The illusions drag on a bit. After the first two pages or so, it stopped being suspenseful and became a little monotonous. Still, an overall good job (and Pinkie's line near the end gave me shivers, too).

31) After Care: *sees 'shipping' tag, looks at picture* Frankly, I'm kind of relieved that the mature content filter is preventing me from reading this...

32) Night Falls Sweetly: The Big Mac-Luna dynamic was pretty well done, all in all. Applejack seemed a bit spotty, though. She goes straight from chewing out Mac for not being suitably respectful of royalty to attacking him for assosiating with a pony who tried to kill her? Still, not bad.

Back to the grind...

TalkAcanthi said...

@Chris

Oh wow, I'm sorry about that last period. I even had people proof-read it for me and they didn't even catch it. Anyway, fixed now. Thanks!

Asgard314 said...

29 made my day, I only wish that the author had actually written the SHOW instead of the set up before the show... If it had both, he/she would have won a tasty metaphorical cake.

Anonymous said...

"…which means, of course, handing it over to our tame racing pony. Some say that he lives on a diet consisting entirely of Poison Joke…and that he is the only Earthpony ever to perform a Sonic Rainboom because he does not believe in the concept of gravity. All we know is, he's not The Stig, but he is The Stig's Equestrian Cousin!

Chris said...

Still going strong! Sleep is for the weak!

33) MLP-The Dream: I'm sorry, but the lack of editing on this story, made it almost unreadable, also, learn how to use, commas.

36) Lovely Lunaticsm: Trolluna...I think I like the word, but this goes WAY beyond trolling. I dig the story--there's not enough evil Luna in the fandom!

37) The Loving Spoonful: I can't say I find ponies particularly arousing, let alone pony children. As such, my general reaction to the story was one of mild disgust. Based on the latest poll, though (34%--*clop clop clop*) I'm sure there are plenty of others who enjoy this kind of work.

38) The Flight: I thought the story started out with a lot of promise, but the reveal right before you get to chose your ending (both were equally well-written, btw) was just too much. I can't imagine Twilight snapping like that just because Spike stormed out one night, unless there's a LOT of unalluded-to tension between the two of them.

39) Cinnamon and Sugar: Well, that was adorable. Hopefully the Wonderbolts don't have a policy against team members being in relationships though, or the sequel to this is gonna be really depressing...

42) Nightmare Moon's New Image: Pony rap battle, huzzah! I wasn't expecting the bit of seriousness at the end, but I thought it was a nice touch.

And now we return to our regularly scheduled fic reading...

Tumbleweed said...

Wow! I got fanarted! Thanks FrostedWarlock!

cdjblue said...

Welp, I've read Cupcakes now... Eyup. (That is, if that's the real Cupcakes up there. On that note, ED kinda already did a feature on it, so that page exists.)

frostedWarlock said...

@Tumbleweed

Thanks for making an awesome fic for me to draw a pic! That barely rhymed!

Chris said...

Alright, let's do this thing!

45) Operation P.O.N.Y.: Hmm, I've never seen this Kids Next Door cartoon, which I think would have made the story a lot funnier. As the author acknowledges that this story is a WIP (albiet one that may not be returned to), I'm not going to harp on the problems I encountered.

48) Pinkie and Twilight: Editors, people! Find one and use them! There's whole threads on Ponychan's /fic/ section where you can go to have your story edited! As for the story itself, I think it could have used a little less P&tB and a little more MLP. Other than the names of the characters, there was nothing particularly pony-y about this story.

50) Assassinshy: Another long one? Ah, it isn't like I need to get up early tomorrow...oh wait, I do. Well, better hurry up and read this, then! ...Wow, that was really engrossing. I'm not sure if I liked it or not, but I couldn't stop reading.

51) The Cake Pilot: Cake magic, eh? I suppose Equestria's just the sort of place where cake magic is its own field...

52) Diamonds among Zirconium: And then Spike was gay. I thought his confusion was well done and very funny, in a sweet way.

55) My Little Bronies: Hmm... given my current task, I can relate to Twilight deluged by stories. This was way too funny, I love it!

58) The Assignment: Trollestia strikes again! Although some of the subject matter is a little more 'mature' than the shows, the tone is clearly the same. I liked it a lot.

...Aaand we're done! Once more, thanks to all of you who wrote something. I hate for someone to get 0 feedback, so if your story got skipped over by the other commenters, hopefully my sentence or two is better than nothing.

Also, good work to all the artists! I'd say something more specific, but my knowledge of art is to small for me to make any comment more useful than, "I like that." Good job, all!

I only counted 3 Madmax images up there. Thats not much of a drinking game. Though, If there was more, I'd probably end up spilling my drink on my keyboard like when I did the Stephan King drinking game.

Thanks for reading and reviewing, Chris, and glad you liked it. I was kinda afraid I'd not get a lot of readers due to the, er, subject matter.

Thanks (36). I thought all of the "I hate myself I'm not evil im saaad" stories were a bit excessive, so I saw that picture and thought "we need evil Luna. A century of isolation cannot be good for one's psyche."

@Don_ko

Actually, it WAS underneath the banner. I double checked by using Google to look up a cached view of the site, and sure enough, it said:

'The June Friend Off deadline is Thursday, June 9th! Click here for information on it!'

So, I guess you need to look a bit closer? (shrug) But don't blame Seth or Cereal, it was up there.

Jake Heritagu said...

Glad to hear all the positive comments/reviews about Celestia the Maid. It was ridiculously fun to write. I wouldn't mind making more in a series of it honestly. I just hope its enjoyed by even more people ^^

@chris
as I said, some of that slack was intentional, not trying to stretch the boundaries of Scootaloo's character more than I already had.

but glad people liked it. :D

BlackWidower said...

Regarding #39, Cinnamon and Sugar.

Your buildup to the moment when they began practicing didn't feel...natural. One of the biggest problems I see in fanfics is the forcing of plotlines, and this one felt forced.

The problem is you have a member of one of the best flying teams in the land, not simply going out to practice, but going out of his way to teach Dash the ropes. It's not like it couldn't happen, but the build to the moment is the problem.

Something along these lines would have been better: He comes to Cloudsdale to visit his parents, blah blah blah, all that's fine, but goes to Ponyville because he needs to practice, and needs someone to practice with, and Ponyville is so close. But he's surprised to find out she's never practised with someone else before. Then get's an epiphany. He can teach her group flying, in one quick and easy session. Badda bing, badda boom.

Anyway, that's just me.

But I never saw that. I could see daily training line, I saw it changes, but there were no other news for me.

Blogger glitch? Maybe. But this or not, I'm still very mad and unhappy.

Thanks for the various reviews. :) Always glad for input. Love everyone else's submissions, too!

@BlackWidower ... maybe you have a point! I'll keep such things in mind as I continue to write fic-ly stuffs, though I'm more in the mode of learning and moving forward right now. In the meantime, it sounds like you have your own ideas for a story! I'd love to read it if you ever do write it. :)

#17, Fastest thing alive. Here I was under the impressions that the Friend-Off's were pretty much dead, friend links me to this, see my fic has fan-art. This made a day that went from mediocre, to decent enough, to terrible, back up to decent enough.

If it had been a better day for me then I would have declared this to be the best day ever. Shame that this slipped me by, and that I have to post this comment so late =/
