A question mark in a tag.



Whay does it mean???

CityFlyer502 said...

Am I really looking at this? Or am I so sleep deprived that I'm seeing things?

JavaManJoJo said...

Hmm... I might actually read this

MrMusicalPony said...

Someone write a 'TwilightxBook' one now, I'd love to see something like that here. I wrote one, but it's not nearly well written enough to end up here.

Travis Smith said...

Think I've seen something like this before
Tom leaves an marrys the rocks from Pinkie's hallucination

"Why? Well, because some idiot was going to write it eventually."
Best reason to write a story in the history of story telling.

"but it's not nearly well written enough to end up here"

If you never try, you'll never know. Submitt that shit!

+that sounds like the kind of story I would enjoy. If it gets up you're guaranteed at least one read.

TheManWithTwoNames said...

This was just so silly, I couldn't stop grinning the entire time. Perfect for anyone looking for a short and fun read.

JavaManJoJo said...

Ok, I have to admit that was pretty amazing

MrMusicalPony said...

@AfroMike

Thank you, but it ended up being a clopfic anyways, which of course doesn't get uploaded here. I may make a clean version, but I'm working on a different story to send here.

But yeah, someone should totally write it. TWILIGHTxSOAPBOX

Travis Smith said...

I got slight laugh out of it

Princess Luna said...

I don't know what she sees in that rock. I prefer somepony more sophisticated, like my abacus...

Joe said...

Zecora x Mountain > Rarity x Tom

true story, bro.

MrMusicalPony said...

It's not just a boulder! It's a rock! A big, beautiful, old rock!

pmcollectorboy said...

Welp. Guess I'll dust off my own Tomity story that I've had up here a while ago. Now I'm starting to feel guilty for putting the damn thing on hiatus.

gb2matty said...

That story was . . . very odd.

ClosetBrony said...

If it made it past the pre-readers then the story must have some 'polish'. :P

pmcollectorboy said...

"as though an elephant was jumping up and down on a bed."

Best line of all time!

Dancing Lotus said...

Since this made it to eqd then you must be the best kind of idiot ratherhomely

S008 said...

When you look at it that way, even the title is suggestive.
Forget not, children, that this story will soon become a required reading all over the world.

xXFAT PIGXx said...

Oh... my...

That ending was... uh.

DPV111 said...

This gets in but Parasailing was rejected?

OminousBrony said...

@MrMusicalPony
There is at least one Twilight/Book on FimFiction with a Mature Content Filter.

NinesTempest said...

@DPV111
I know for a fact that he doesn't want parasailing on EqD. Otherwise it'd be up already.

@OminousBrony

Twi x book
RD x cloud
Fluttershy x tree
Celestia x door

All exist.

DPV111 said...

@NinesTempest

Doesn't mean people shouldn't go read it ;P

Stitches said...

SHIP ALL THE CHARACTERS!

Travis Smith said...

Note to self avoid Rainbow Dash an cloud in same sentence

NO.
Beep beep I'm a cloud. Is the single cutest thing in the fandom and if I won't let it be ruined by a (absolutely hilarious) clopfic, neither should you!

Arcanon said...

I remember reading this, funny stuff.

Travis Smith said...

@DPV111
It may be hilarious, but I have no interest in reading clip fics at all

Travis Smith said...

@DPV111
It may be hilarious, but I have no interst in reading clop fics at all

ToonNinja said...

@DPV111
It's not cloppy. Not sure where you're getting that, other than the implications (and that's it) of the last scene.

I,for one, rather enjoyed it, if only because the humor was timed perfectly.

Dancing Lotus said...

Omg I loved this story

Tom replied, oh wait no he didn't XD

DPV111 said...

@ToonNinja
We're talking about the Dash masturbates with clouds fic "Converging Fronts" by RagingSemi, not this fic.

And Travis. Never said you should read it. Just don't let it's existence affect anything else.

Niko said...

Lol, well that was, uhh...

Interesting. Not even close to one of the weirdest things I've ever read, but still. Pretty funny, too.

ToonNinja said...

@DPV111
Ohhhhh.

...Are you telling me somebody actually wrote a fic about that? Words fail me.

DPV111 said...

@ToonNinja

Yep. It's also referenced in the funny but non-cloppy fic Parasailing by Shivered Timbers in which the mane 6 discuss their odd fetishes with each other.

Niko said...

Oh lawdy I just read Converging Fronts.

Kayriel said...

@Travis Smith

Implied sex with a ROCK is now classified as a "clop fic" with you people? Grow up.

If you didn't want to read it because of that, you don't need to post about it. Just look away and don't speak up.

DPV111 said...

@Kayriel

UGH. READ THE COMMENTS HE IS RESPONDING TO> We are not talking about this fic!

Aaron said...

@Princess Luna
Oh man, dat abacus <3

DPV111 said...

On another note I'm glad to see this hasn't had it's ratings trolled like several other stories recently.

Rohit Eligeti said...

Haha! What a crap story! Because you're metally disordered moron :P

Johuotar said...

Ihabing metal disorder would be awesome

Present Perfect said...

This is just the most absurd story I've read in a long time. That's just what a ship idea like this needs. :D It's hilarious and thoroughly entertaining, it never lets up!

@DPV111:
inb4 the troll wakes up :/ WE'RE ON TO YOU, TROLL!

what was that i dont even

WHY DO I LIKE THIS

Alondro said...

@Kayriel

And then Tom went down on Rarity...

The next day.. or at least the next sudden transition from moonlight to sunlight... Twilight and the others arrived at Carousel Boutique to un-Discord Rarity. Upon finding no sign of Rarity on the ground floor, Twilight ventured upstairs and into Rarity's bedroom. There she saw the consequences of a 2-ton boulder rolling atop a pony...

Slowly descending the stairs with a queasy expression, she said, "Well girls... we need a new Element of Generosity..."

Trolololo... >:D

RatherHomely said...

The pre-reader told me this was going to get some interesting reactions, He wasn't kidding. XD

YetAnotherBrony said...

This fic is pretty good, though not as good as this one Applejack/Bloomberg clopfic I read a little while back. He (?) had this one branch that Applejack had sanded and smoothed and prepared for a particular purpose...

The Ferret said...

So I went into this fic expecting goofiness what I didn't expect was such a cleverly written piece. This was fantastic especially considering what the author had ta work with. Even Tom himself in Rarity's eyes could not outshine what a gem this is.

(Sorry, I couldn't help myself.)

DPV111 said...

@YetAnotherBrony

I believe that was Fluttershy in "I'd Like To Be A Tree".

AJ was mentioned doing this in Parasailing I believe, but I don't think I've seen a full one with AJ and Bloomberg.
