Jelfes said...

Ah, yes, I love these stories where Twilight is just a total nerd about dating. I'm gonna like this!

Muffinsforever said...

I remember the 1st part of this...

I definitely want to read the 2nd.

This would be a great story to read while drinking. Which isn't to say it's not amusing while sober.

Markeith said...

Yay for more Twipie!

shibboleth said...

Ah, yes, I remember reading this one a while ago, and I shall read it again!

Josh Spicer said...

More Twipie? Yeeeees!

wackyteen said...

more TwiPie?

hmm....

Still need to read the Rarilight from last night...

Derptastic_w00t said...

Dawwww, that pic!

@wackyteen, that rarilight one was good! make time to read it if you can

Bloomberg said...

Oh thank goodness that was really good! Of the four Twinkie stories that I know of, this one is a serious contender and doesn't copy any ideas from the others.

I thought the progression of the story was quite believable, nothing too extreme or out of place, though AJ was a bit... "mean." The rest of the mane six seemed well written though. Twilight's lack of understanding seemed perfect for her character and Pinkie's spontaneous agreement fit her as well. Poor Pinkie, though, we do so like to make her sad. Anyways, the story trotted along quite nicely.

I can't really find anything bad to say about this one. Very good work!

Acriaos said...

Rarity was sadly the only one half way understanding of Twilight, that felt a bit odd. Other than that I quite liked the story, short and sweet.

Baree said...

Wow... I read this ages ago. Took a long time to appear on EqD. It was a fun story though.

Tast said...

It is NOT Twipie. It's Twinkie Pie. Tags agree with me.

Lunavia said...

I get sad when I think about how all of Twi's friends must think that she still has no idea what dating is all about :(

Good story though.

Lunavia said...

Oh, and it's obviously Pielight Sprinkle

Aquarian Poet said...

Cute story, my heart is still stitched up from the forest scene. What a read!

getoman10 said...

Alright, I really felt disgusted about all the bisexual shipping fanfics, but this one was too well made to be judged by that.
4/5, amazing story besides the bisexuality (I doubt I'm using that word right) and very few spelling errors.

goldenCapitalist said...

Haha! Shipping!

Misanthropy +18 points.

Zanzibar said...

I... Wow. This was incredibly silly. Not the best shipping fic I've ever read, but it was certainly amusing.

I really find it hard to imagine that any pony would ever be as clueless as Twilight showed herself to be though. I mean, she haven't been living an entirely sheltered life after all. Still, it made for an amusing story so I can live with that :).

Oh wow. That almost needed a sad tag. I swear I have NEVER wanted to physically harm Twilight before this story. Sheesh. Great story though. Could have used more comedy and less angst.

minty said...

very nicely written.
AJ's character seemed a little off tangent though.
i dont think it really fits into a "comedy" tag too

Melodia said...

Hmmm I definitely read this before (was it on FF.net perhaps?), and it didn't seem all that different from what I remember either despite any "major update".

Also, I'm surprised noone mentioned how similar in concept, at least at first, this is to The Romancing Quest...

Macon Mixx said...

Very cute. Maybe a *teeny* bit over the top with the inferences, but I suppose that applies to the things I write, too! lol

I really do love the TwixAnypony-but-Trixie ships. Thanks for sharing this really fun story! :)

dublio said...

Now that episode 3 came out, there are more reasons for Big Mac/Twilight to happen instead of the more often done Fluttermac.

Sebiale said...

I disagree with the story's apparent view on how dating, love, and romance function, but it's still written well and the message is understood, if not appreciated.
