It was awesome.
"Her cutie mark was FASHION."
That's the best line ever.
The description and tags make it sound like it was written by Michel Bay
Wait, is this one of those fics made INTENTIONALLY bad, or was it an accident like one of those infamous Twilight fanfictions.
...What the hell is this beautiful nonsense I'm reading, and why do I like it?
You had me at Awesomery.
When will somebody write a Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas parody fanfic. THAT'S SOMETHING I'D READ!
That was beautiful.
Best. Fanfic. EVER!!
twilightsaysyes.avi
This was awesome. I was instantly reminded of this, and the fantastic feeling of familiarity stayed in my mind throughout the ending.
And that ending! Simply perfect. I had been disappointed that there wasn't any self-insert in the story (being the obvious thing I think of when it comes to stylistic suck), but when the reveal happened I laughed my ass off because I realized it had been there the entire time.
"Her cutie mark was a pear that had a big mouth with lots of teeth."
Lolwut?
@Dave Mustang, the cynical Brony It's intentionally so bad that it's good and then gets bad again and gets good again and gets really awesome and then finally gets 120% MORE awesome than just regular awesome.
I freaking love all the names.. "Fashionface" literally made me laugh out loud
@Frubban
What weird ass drugs are you on dude?
I love stuff like this.
My Immortal Pony
Pinkie Pie is really mean to Rarity :(
On an unrelated note: I know this was a funny story, but did it really deserve 5.2 stars, or did I just broke the rating system? See image:
http://img199.imageshack.us/img199/2423/toomanystars.png
That was genius, possibly the greatest piece of literature I've ever head the pleasure of reading.
It's not often reading a fanfic can get me to cry with laughter, but I had to take a break in the middle of this I was laughing so hard. It was one of the greatest things I have ever read, and I mean that as seriously as one can when talking about a parody fic.
God, it was so bad that it came around to being so good and KICKED ME IN THE FACE.
*goes to get rainbow lighting bolt tattoos everywhere so I can fly faster*
@Dave Mustang, the cynical Brony Awesome.
(Really though, I just like stylistic suck. And exaggerating.)
@Frubban
Can I have some?
I think Pinkie Pie's crack is on crack.
This is parody fic done completely, entirely right. Most people make it too random or stupid but this one actually keeps on an understandable train of thought. Hell, not even the Rarity bashing got on my nerves, and I happen to like her so that's quite a feat.
The comedic variants of the elemental trials were totally great; I especially loved the diamond dogs that didn't realize they'd doom themselves by sinking the boat too. I also appreciated the Black Snooty bit that was ripped out of that Luna fanfic where she's a famous composer and promptly changed into something just recognizable enough to be a perfect parody of the whole idea.
And then shit got 200% meta and my mind blew up.
This is Starship Troopers level it's-so-bad-it's-Godlike.
Favourite phrase so far:
"Then she put a cigarette out in its eye, because she didn't give a fuck. "
Also, the noffirg was the best Glinda parody ever.
Well... I don't know what I just read but it was pretty awesome I'll tell you that...
This was an absolutely hilarious piece of parody fanfiction.
This deserves 12 stars and all of my money.
Srsly.
Saw this when it was posted on ponychan; it was awesome then and it's still awesome now.
I might be a little biased because the author plugged my story in the same thread, though.
Still! 5 stars all the way!
If I had to decribe this in one word, I'd choose LOLBRILLIANT. I was ROFL throughout, and that's saying something, I rarely do xD
Take all of my stars, just make sure to write MOAR ;)
Throughout the whole fic, I was sure that it was Rainbow Dash who was writing it. Quite a surprise when it turned out not to be.
Its pretty meh.
@banjo2E
"Black Snooty" wasn't taken from that fanfic. Pinkie Pie actually calls Nightmare Moon that at the end of episode 1 of the show, and it's appeared in a lot of other fics as well.
lightningbolt lulz i immediatly thought of Admiral Wolverine Lightningbolt
now read this while your high on weed and ecstasy...
This story is hilarious! Reminds me of Half-Life: Full Life Consequences when I read this. Good job!
This story was really funny.
The ending just made it funnier.
I really need to stop reading ponies at work. All this laughing is making people give me weird looks.
This story gets 5/5 just for using the word fisticuffs. I think it may be the first fanfic to do so.
The ending.
Oh my god, the ending.
I had to actually stop reading for two full minutes when I hit it because I could not stop laughing.
"They can't destroy the world!" cried Sugar Rush. "That's where I keep my stuff!"
Egoraptor of literal media.
"Then she put a cigarette out in its eye, because she didn't give a fuck."
WARNING SPOILERS AHEAD IN THIS COMMENT
Best line ever. And, I'm sorry. But Pinky writing about something called the Element of Badassery? Lol.
Just like I said on ponychan, this is the best story ever. I would also give anything for Rarity to be referred to as Fashionface from now on.
@Anonymous
We need the guy who read Full Life Consequences to read this fic!
F*cking A!
"She flexed her hooves and somewhere a bird exploded."
So pure... so... awesome...
OMG THIS WAS EPICLY FUNNY! 5 STARS! WAITING EAGERLY FOR SEQUEL! HOPING FOR SEQUEL!
Favorite line:
"They can't destroy the world!" cried Sugar Rush. "That's where I keep my stuff!"
Especially since that's something that I could actually see Pinkie Pie saying.
Oh my gosh, I am sooo happy right now! I am loving all these comments!
@TenchiFreak5
High praise indeed! There are distinctly some Homestarrunner influences in this.
@Acriaos
I'm glad someone mentioned something like this! For you see, this isn't how *Pinkie Pie* sees her friends, it's how *she* thinks *Rainbow Dash* sees their friends. (And also some lingering Rarityhate from the real author.)
@banjo2E
"I also appreciated the Black Snooty bit that was ripped out of that Luna fanfic where she's a famous composer"
Wait, what fic? I've never read one like that, so the reference was entirely unintentional! Wavelength?
@Abalidoth
Dude, Celestia's Teeth was awesome!
This is totally making my day, you guys, you have no idea. Thank you sooo much!
Also, "They can't destroy the world, that's where I keep my stuff." is a reference as well. I cannot take full credit for it! Name that quote?
Applejack, master of NOT A SINGLE FUCK WAS GIVEN THAT DAY. Now we just need fan art of her with a LOLWUT pear cutie mark and a Mr T inspired outfit.
I'm guessing... "Not my flesh! That's where I keep my delicious nutrients!"
...
I think I need new pants.
"She flexed her hooves and somewhere a bird exploded."
Best. Fanfic. Ever.
Really, though, I've never got Pinkie/Anything until now.
Anyone else thinking pony version of My Immortal?
This is so completely awesomely hilarious it made my day.
@Present Perfect
The Tick?
For the guys that say it needs to be narrated Full-Life Consequences style, no it doesn't. The grammar and spelling aren't atrocious enough for that kind of reading to work out.
That being said, @Present Perfect, brilliant work.
@Jack da Bomb
BAM. You win an internet. Drop me an email, my name, no underscore, at derpymail.com
This is way too good.
I have no idea what just happened, all I know is that I have an erection. So hey, have 5 stars, and my congratulations at a job well done.
*explosive brohoof*
This is all I could think of once the mayor was introduced:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hFZTSy82b58&feature=player_detailpage#t=1186s
This needs a dramatic reading. Right now.
I don't even know what went on there.
...And yet, I am tempted to give it a dramatic reading anyway, because it really does need one.
I don't even know what to say here. I know it's deliberate, but the immensely poor writing I found made the story difficult to read (it hurt my brain). That's probably just me, and I do realize that it's a work of parody, so I won't bad mouth it.
I'm with Ten Mihara here, I really didn't "get it". Didn't think the "twist" at the end was big enough was really big enough to justify the piece. I guess I haven't read enough bad fan fiction to get parody yet...
Let's just point out all the awesome on the first page alone, cos otherwise we'll be here all night:
*highlights all of it*
Oh... well... gee...
Honestly, this made me laugh. And that's pretty hard to do. Good job.
HORY SHEET! I lolled epicly when wtfevercan'trememberhername angled
Yes. dramatic reading.
Hopefully with more spelling mistakes.
Because those make things funny.

@Anonymous
Oh my goodness, I love that show! I wasn't thinking about it at the time, but that is surely where the name came from, out of my subconscious!
@Kimba the White Lion
This is a very good point, and I'm sorry. I've been very impressed with the response because I was expecting more of this. Basically, if you haven't read a lot of random/bad fics (and specifically, the ones I've read), a lot of this is no doubt going to be pointless. Of course, there's no time like the present to start, eh? ;)
If anyone does a dramatic reading of this (I already know of one group doing it!), please drop links here! I wanna hear!
Definitely needs a DR. I might have to do it myself.
+5 and bookmarked.
Derp, no stars to click.
Well, if there were, I would give you some. Have a cookie instead.
Double derp, rechecked and there they were.
Keep the cookie.
It was hot. The end.
6/5
SexyNickers for president in 2012!
Fashionface is best pony
That was.... hilarious. I loved it. Oh god, I loved it. Fits of giggles... I had them. XD
One of the best stories I've ever read. The fighting scene with Applejack made me laugh my ass off!
Honestly is fantastic! Keep it up.
What confused me more here was why Seth was updating at such an ungodly late hour, but then I realised...he's waiting for that counter to our right to spill over to 2million.
Also, the story was fantastic. I had it down as Pinkie Pie just telling a random story to her friends. I was half-right :D
@Kimba the White Lion
It of course depends on an individuals sense of humor. Some find it funny, some find it boring.
Personally, I found it hilarious.
That was awesome.
Aside from the names this is very cultivated compared to mine xD (which i haven't released yet)

20 million hits get!
@Present Perfect
For some reason I don't think I "want" to read bad fanfiction. I have read my share of ED posted stuff that was really subpar, but probably nothing like what you were parodying.
Gee, that side story seems familiar. I wonder why.
It's almost like I just read it going through the speedfic entries, but that would be silly. Couldn't be that.
awesome
Oh, come on. The easiest solution to "Honesty" is definitely a threeway.
I mean, Pinkie Pie was just as excited talking about Applejack in Applebucking Season as she was about Dash the next episode. It would totally work.
@Kits
JOHN FREEMANE SAVIOR OF PONAYS?
I don't get it... i've read this side story before!
Insecure Dash is best Dash.
Both stories were lots of fun! I was actually a bit taken aback at how sweet and well-written the second story was after the madcap randomness of "Elements of Awesome." "Honestly" actually made me tear up a little bit. That Applejack! What a loyal pony she is!
Also, +10 internets for the sly little reference to The Tick!
Honestly was a good read, though the AppleDash lover in me had a bit of a sad at the end. Seems every fic I read about them it ends up not working out. :(
'The Elements of Awesomery' had me in stitches even when I read it through for a second time, and 'Honestly' was really well written throughout. Glad to see there's a sequel in the works!
@Present Perfect
The TICK? Who's the JERK that calls himself the TICK?!
One thing to say about 'The Elements of Awesomery'.....LLLLAAWWWWWLLLLL!!!
@Kimba the White Lion: "So bad it's funny" was more what I had in mind, though this does reference some genuinely funny fics like Progress and How I Stopped Worrying and Learned to Love the Bon-Bon. It may just not be your cup, which is okay.
@A Terrible Person: Gosh, I wonder why?
@Anonymous: Gee, it's a good thing I haven't thought of doing that, I mean why would I, really?
@pixelkitties: Gosh, really? I'm surprised, and flattered too. (Also, for the record, I've never watched the show.)
@Anonymous: Sorry. D: I'm actually not a big fan of Applejack (although I write her an awful lot), and I prefer PinkieDash anyway. Which is what this series is all about!
@Algernon: Thank you! I feel like a jerk for prematurely mentioning that sequel because A) I have no idea when I'll get to it, and B) it's going to be more like Honestly than AoE. Hopefully at least a little funny. As it is in my mind, anyway.
Over 9000 internets have been won.
I think this is what love is. In the main story and the sidestory both, you have provided:
Grand humor.
Lovely randomness.
Sweet tender moments.
Love.
Bittersweetness that's just sweet enough that I don't die from it.
I am crushing on you, sir or madam.
@Cloudy Skies: I only date mares...
Sir or madam. :V
Thank you for reading, I'm glad you enjoyed! And I'll put some substance to this post by saying I've been kicking around LOTS of ideas for sequels, plural. I may even start writing one before the year is out! ._.;
Personally, I'm pretty sure that the line about "They can't destroy the world, that's where I keep my stuff" was a reference to the quest Recipe for Disaster in Runescape, in which your character says almost exactly the same thing ("Not the world, that's where I keep all my stuff!")
Also, this story is really awesome.
@Mister Tulip:
I definitely have never played Runescape.
Also, my last comment. Before the end of the year, lol. I AM SILLY
HNNNNGFFFFFF DRAMATIC READING
