@Shadow Heart
*hits with a newspaper* Bad!
Yay, stories about cute marshmallows. :3

Teech will be proud.
Not linking the fimchan thread?
@Octavia
"Help, help, I'm being assualted with the classifieds"
Seriously though sorry if you mad. That was the first time I was first to comment. I got lucky.
@Shadow Heart
I SO MAD!
Nah, I'm kidding. I ain't even mad.
>mfw my story wasn't included.
WHY DONT I SEE "Simply Rarity" IN HERE
Underrated Rarity is underrated.... *sniff*
Today, I learned of a Target coupon that gives you a free Canterlot DVD with any MLP Canterlot purchase of 19.99 or more. In case you wanted to know.
Needs more "Simply Rarity".
@Cereal Velocity
Well you had to be in the /co/ thread when we started it up.

The link to the fimchan thread which you neglected to post.
@Apocalypse Pony
Because it's a competition. Everyone received the same prompt and were given 48 hours to write a fic based on it. These seven fics are the result of that.
Man, how did I miss this?!
Oh. Seth didn't mention these were written off a prompt.
Carry on then.
@Nathan
Ohhh. Carry on then
Am I the only one who really didn't like Simply Rarity all that much? At all? really, it was a just a wee bit overdone in terms of just how awful everything was that it became unbelievable. not the quality of fiction i like, but it was 6star somehow.
well, I was gunna sleep tonight, but now there's rarity everywhere... there better be some freaking comedy in this.
Hey Seth, it started in /co/, fimchan thread was just to help organize between threads. Your 'journalism' sucks.
@634f458a-f951-11e0-ac65-000bcdcb5194
I'm posting this as a favor dude. There isn't a /co/ thread to link to.
A competition of stories based around Best Pony herself? Word.
@Sethisto
We both know the archive is there.
...Then again, I doubt we want to link the people who frequent this site to even the tamest /co/ thread. Good call; sorry for the kneejerk.
It wasn't something I researched. Nathan sent me links saying it needed to go up today due to voting, I chose ponychan because it's work safe, and copied pasted the stories over with a link to voting.
thanks for the heads up on something I would hate to miss Sethisto!
<3 Trixie is best guest pony, but Rarity is best overall.
Every author managed to capture the dynamism of Rarity's character very well. I thoroughly enjoyed the ability to hear her voice in the various situations presented.
I have to admit, though: I didn't like the majority of the submissions themselves. Something about the overly complicated themes of depression and drama did not mesh well with the stories' minimal lengths and narratives. Ideas like that demand large investments from the reader, but ending such short stories with ambiguity for profoundness's sake provides no closure for the reader, and the last thing any author wants to do is give the impression that his or her work is a waste of time.
I think that's my primary criticism for most of the entrants. I won't add any more, since I think I'm already treading on volatile ground...
did spike burn down the shop in cross stitched?
what an arse.
