Story Updates January 18th (Evening)



Lots of story updates! You probably already figured that was the case though.  Check them all out after the break.



Story: Unmarked (Update Part 8!)



[Adventure]

Author: Croswynd
Description: A cutie mark is what defines a pony. It is who they are, even moreso than the names they are given. Yet, Novell has grown to adulthood without his mark, a pegasus pony with no idea where he fits in Equestria. It's not until a chance meeting with a particular Professor that he finds his opportunity to discover where he belongs. But unbeknownst to anypony, an evil long since defeated by none other than Discord is scheming from the shadows, planning to wreak havoc upon the world once more.

The legends told of their return.

For over a decade Equestria has been beset by the dragons. Every year more villages vanish in flames, and the lonely cities stand as our last redoubt. Winter has gripped the world, and our hope is fading.

But the legends tell of another, a light in the darkness. The Dragonborn, a mythic warrior reborn with the power of the Voice, the only one who can stand against the dragons.

But when she appeared, she was not what we were expecting...

Story: Fixing Up Miss Smartypants (Update Part 4!)

[Shipping]

A comedy of errors launching a full fleet of ships.

Story: Wild Sky Yonder (Update Part 3!)

[Adventure] We totally didn't pass this due to the wet mane Spitfire image alone.  I promise.


Author: Mysecsha
Description: There was nothing left for Spitfire in Cloudsdale, just an uncle who hated her and painful memories of lost loved ones. The Pegasus Search and Rescue Corps offers her a chance to get out of town, see the world, do some good - and one day maybe have a shot at the Guards or the Wonderbolts! She jumps at the opportunity - and six days later, she limps into training camp.
Doesn't matter: she made it. The world can beat her down, but it can't keep her down. The friendships she forms here will get her through everything training has to offer. Will they also see her through the dark clouds on the horizon?

YES Fixing Up Miss Smartypants :D

Mysecsha said...

Yay! SOPA day is done and I get to have an update where I don't feel like a failure for missing it! Let's celebrate with some half-competent art I did for the art event!

Hpkaska said...

HUZZAH! Quite glad at least one of the things I'm reading has been updated.

DatOneGuyWithCake said...

All these updates. None of them are one of the ones I'm waiting for. Guess I'll read some shipping and handling then.

Protagonist said...

Three out of four I'm reading!!?? YES YES YES YES YES-

InFamous Spartan said...

SWEET JESUS GOODIES FOR MAH BRAIN!

chappers27 said...

Elements of awesome seems interesting, but I think I will wait for someone to throw up a review or two on here before embarking

Stormy Seas said...

New Shipping and Handling chapter? Now I have to go and get my traditional muffin to eat while reading a Derpy fic.

Natzo said...

Nothing for me D:

Nyxilis said...

Somehow, I was expecting more. >D

coldshoulder said...

Shipping and Handling ! YAY!

Hawkysu said...

@chappers27
As the author, I recommend you read the Volume I recap. It was written while I was pretty tired, but it should give you an idea of the story's style.

Lagmobile said...

Gotta say that Lyra x Bon Bon shipfic has the greatest name ever. For those of you that don't get it its a joke on "How I learned to stop worrying and love the bomb." Might start reading it just on that joke alone. New Shipping and Handling is nice too :D

Bombedrumbum said...

No tripfics yet? Dublio, quick, while you're ahead!

El_Darax said...

Nothing I'm reading but gonna give a couple a shot..........

Just can't decide which -_-

MasterLuigi452 said...

After a whole day and still nothing I'm reading...

CityFlyer502 said...

Goodness. I thought I did a lot of reading during the blackout. Now more reading?......Yay!

Bugsydor said...

Elements of Awesome? I wonder if the author went back and fleshed out the characters a bit since I've last seen them. Last time I read the story, I had a terrible case of the eight deadly words.

Anyhow, woot for Smarty Pants Update!

Guarddogjr said...

Woohoo shipping and handling updated!

Is the Smarty Pants story any good?

Bugsydor said...

@Guarddogjr
I find the Smarty Pants one to be excellent. It's so full of random and misunderstandings, but in a hilarious way. It has been compared to Shakespeare's play, Much Ado about Nothing, if that gives you any clues.

Everypony is being shipped by everypony else with everypony else. It's a glorious sort of chaos that would do Discord himself proud.

My comment doesn't do it justice. Let's just say that I haven't been suppressing laughter in public this hard since reading Through the Eyes of Another Pony. Please, read it yourself!

Eddmario said...

A whole day's worth of updates, and no Fandom Crisis?

Guarddogjr said...

@Bugsydor Than you I'll make sure I give it a read.. I was thinking about starting but now I have too. Again thank you very much! ^_^!

Ten said...

Ah awesome The Wind Theif update, also Brotherhood of the moon looks like an interesting read. I'm a sucker for crossovers.

Forte8910 said...

Shipping and Handling update? Perfect way to end an internet blackout

Col. Hoofstrong said...

So many updates AND NONE THAT I READ :C

AnOddRadish said...

Double sweet, Fixing up Miss smarty pants AND S/H updates? This was more than worth TGAPT takeover for a day! Need any lamp oil for all the rope burn, seth?

Masquerade said...

Cold in Gardez is doing that Skyrim crossover?

Bookmarked.

Timber said...

Nothing for me. Oh well.

Gray Ham said...

Didn't Sunset get updated? O_o

TenchiFreak5 said...

A new story for How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bon Bon? Awesome.

thatguy324 said...

I haven't had 1 story that I read for the past 3 or 4 updates... then Brotherhood of the Moon updates! :D

Present Perfect said...

@Lagmobile:
HILTSWALTBB isn't a LyraBon shipfic. o.O It's about a newspony's misadventures in Ponyville. It's also hilarious, though I may be a little biased in saying so. Go check it out and see for yourself!

Ragneki5880 said...

So many updates, not enough time.

Fiery Blade said...
