Lol, sounds like a fun fanfic!

SuperGiantRobot said...

It's a Pinkie Pie story. You were expecting anything else?

Bombedrumbum said...

Lol, he derped the italics around the word always (in the story)

SuperGiantRobot said...

Sorry, 'bout that; I'm always tinkering with the stories I write.

Gdocs link (DA is acting up a bit); https://docs.google.com/document/d/13khqo-Kidtlfc5tXcGRxpcOVdmOsf1NttqqtD3N3dKU/edit?hl=en_US

@SuperGiantRobot

Sorry, it's just that whenever I hear of a Pinkie Pie fic, my mind somehow registers in such a way that it either ends being either horror or something involving a bloody mess. this however sounds rather promising

SuperGiantRobot said...

It was insane; the first day I posted this on DA I had over 5000 views. In two I had over 8000.

@SuperGiantRobot you added a space between the d and the K in your link

CTVulpin said...

This was well written and entertaining. The twist ending had me smiling.

Bombedrumbum said...

@SuperGiantRobot yes, that link does.....

SuperGiantRobot said...

I'm amazed how well it went, On Deviant Art it was like getting hit by an avalanche.

Bombedrumbum said...

@SuperGiantRobot well, congratulations then! Thank you for the fic, i'll waste no time reading it!!

Twilight as a prankster...

We need more of this!

Xeddrief said...

I'm glad we're getting more light-hearted stories lately, there is only so much sad/grimdark I can take.

@Bombedrumbum

You're always first, so you win.

Discord will be pleased with my next plan.

. . .did I just say that aloud?

SuperGiantRobot said...

Apparently a couple of the pre-readers liked it so much they were considering asking Sethiso to bend the rule and allow it to be posted despite the fact it was below the minimum word count at the time.

BlackVion said...

Nice Rich, your story got posted. I'll give it another read.

SuperGiantRobot said...

I added a tiny bit, just to get it to the minimum, but mostly just descriptive stuff; no real changes.

Stormcaller said...

All I can say about the ending is....

WHAT A TWIST!

SuperGiantRobot said...

If I write another story, I PROMISE to impress you all just as much as I have today.

"Cross my heart and hope to fly..."

ultra8 said...

I was wondering when someone would get around to turning that pic into a fic.

ultra8 said...

Not what I was expecting but even more amusing than I would have thought.
Excellentally done and so in-character for Twilight.

SuperGiantRobot said...

Yeah, I'm surprised how well it's done. I figured it'd be good for a laugh and then...Ye gods.

Sketch Scribbles said...

twilight becoming a prankster, eh? I think Celestia is rubbing off on her.

Shadow Heart said...

Forget Trollestia, Heil Discord

G3stalt said...

Fast. Cute. Cool. Daft Punk.

DarkJester said...

Good story, but ease up on the italics. You emphasized far too many words too often.

SuperGiantRobot said...

That's how Pinkie speaks. Emphasis all over the place.

DarkJester said...

It wasn't just when she spoke, it was everywhere, all throughout the story. Which is fine if the situation warrants it, but I think you overdid it just a bit.

It's not a big issue, but it's something you may want to keep an eye out for in the future. Over-emphasizing can cause parts you actually want to emphasize to not have as much impact on the reader as youdesire. This isn't necessarily as big an issue when a character is speaking (though still significant) as it is when describing a scene or an emotion.

SuperGiantRobot said...

Well, to be fair, nearly all the story is from her point of view: her thoughts would probably be emphasized as well.

I can tidy it up some, but sometimes emphasis just has to be used.

DPV111 said...

4 stars from me. Well written and fun but I thought Pinkie was quite subdued, and it was very short and somewhat predictable.

General_Rex said...

Great story to read, always nice to see Twilight with a sense of humor... even if its a bit over the top =P
