"...And learn to fly again
Learn to live so free..."

This was a pretty fun read. Truthfully I wasn't expecting much from the summary, but this really surprised me. Good work.

The Numberman said...

Summary has me interested.

I like the additional tags.

Might take a peek later.

Brittany said...

Read this on Fimfiction, it's a very fun riff on fanfic cliches.

ChrisCola said...

Lol nice satire. I love it!

Tom said...

That was pretty good!

Aeolus said...

Took me a bit to realize this was a parody... But after that It was a wonderful read.

Ben said...

This needs a randome tag and 'not a single fuck was given that day' tag.

LOL

ZettaLux said...

Read this awhile back - love it, and congratulations on getting featured on EqD!

Lightning Delight said...

This was pretty entertaining and very silly. It did a great job of putting a smile on my face.

D. Shadows said...

Yep normalcy is insanity.

Well written, but it was a little confusing. Not in that it was overly complicated, but rather I found myself rereading a lot of passages in an attempt to understand.

Still, a really excellent writer. Descriptive. I honestly think they would do a good job with an intense shipping/borderline clopfic kind of fic.

wackypony said...

starting out, this is already annoying me with unneeded descriptiveness.

The Numberman said...

This was amazing. Absolutely loved it.

Oh I see what you did there. It's not "canon Ponyville" it's "fanon Ponyville".

Praetorian_Pony said...

I really enjoyed this. It was a nice little story that did a good job of poking fun at cliche that often appear in other fanfics. Thank you, Equestrian Gentlecolt

Wilson Bennett said...

I like this story as it highlights all the cliches used in a lot of fanfictions, a great read overall.

DPV111 said...

SPOILERS. so STFU.








So:
>Twi Alicorn parody: Great.
>RD's contradictory levels of durability: Thank you.
>RD shipping with everything including (literally) the kitchen sink: Solid gold hilarious.
>Random humans EVERYWHERE!: I prefer the crossovers myself over the OCs.
>Fluttershy x human innuendo: AARGH FLASHBACK FLASHBACK PCSD EPISODE. *(Post Clopfic Stress Disorder)
Pinkie doing something NUCKING FUTS without a "Cupcakes" reference: I love you now.
Twilight regularly kicking Evilestia's ass when needed: I think I'm having this fic's baby.

Muffinsforever said...

I read this earlier and I concur, this IS a normal day in Ponyville.

Kyronea said...

@wackypony
That's the point. It's intentionally overwrought. What makes it funny is that the prose itself is actually quite good...there's just way too much of it.

Androidred0100 said...

HA! Epic. Based on the description, at first I thought it was just Twilight being jaded, but then shit got weird and I was confused but when it became mega crazy, it clicked and I loled harder than I have in quite some time. Thank you.

I think the best part is that it was kept as clean as possible while implying the worst. Exceptionally well done sir.

Shutterfly said...

I'm so hungry, I could eat a human.

Harwick said...

Shipping Dash with the kitchen sink may be my favorite thing ever.

Nickel Gunner said...

What's funny is that I didn't actually find this all that funny.

It felt a little like one of the latter Zucker movies, throwing references at the viewer over and over.

Ergo Cogito said...

Aaaaaah abuse of what has become cliche' among the brony community. I've seen this idea taken way too far plenty of times, but this was tasteful.

Parchment Scroll said...

This made me laugh so hard when I first saw it on FIMFiction. SO. HARD.

Natzo said...

What? No returning Nightmare Moon or cute, nerdy Luna in socks?

Son, I'm dissapoint.

I loved it. Reminded me that I hate human in Equestria fics. I barely tolerate TTEOAP.

Solid Pony said...

I'm sure some of the fanfic cliché jokes went over my head as I don't read that many fics, but I enjoyed it anyway.
The writing's lighthearted and whimsical nature kept me entertained throughout.

And for the record, this first grabbed my attention cuz of the pic of Twilight with a pillow on her head. Reminded me of the picture of the bunny with a pancake on it's head, haha.

Yours sincerely said...

I'm hoping that the purple prose was deliberate. An interesting jab at the cliches of ponyfics, though one wonders whether there's an irony in this - that there are an increasing number of parody fics, so much that "fics that mock cliches" are becoming a cliche in itself.

Well-written, near-zero errors, clean ending and sound body. 4 stars because the only original part was Pinkie's mirror split (which was amazing) and I feel sortta jaded after sitting in a reviewer's chair for a while. Good job.

Tundra said...

This little read is just begging for an inception joke.
Hm...
Clicheption?

Meltoria said...

What do you mean I reached the end. I don't want to reach the end. This is an outrage I should do something so that this doesn't have to end because it is much too hilarious.

YetAnotherBrony said...

Was Applejack in this fic? She has a few cliches to parody about her too (like some people insisting she has an incestuous relationship with Big Mac, or has a full-blown addiction to apples)

Doc Steedly said...

HAH I finally found an app that can download from that site without the garbled txt documents! Even better is it downloads all of the available chapters in one shot. I just need the url to the main story and I can download every chapter at once. YEAH! I have a lot of stories to catch up on, Gonna read this tonight!

RandomMLP said...

Loved the Pinkie Pie Song in there! Just had to make a reading of it - http://youtu.be/4IRzEMGO8Zg

Please forgive me The Equestrian Gentlecolt.

Daemon McRae said...

Didn't understand a damn thing. Still loved it.

Skykitsune said...

Oh dear, by the time I'd read the first two pages my left eye was twitching, I had a massive WTF face on, and was laughing like a loon... Time to see what the rest of this does to me.

Mister Tulip said...

@Doc Steedly What's the app which allows better FIMFiction downloads called? I definitely would like that one, since it's my favorite fanfic hosting site but the broken downloads drive me crazy.
