James Corck said...

I read this on DeviantArt the other day. It's fantastic. I can't wait to see where this goes to.

Masquerade said...

Hello, my name is Jacques Masquerade.
You gave me a heart attack.
Prepare to be read.

AestheticB said...

The Princess Bride? *Gasps*
My... one... weakness...

Bufflord said...

Nice to see it's made it to EqD. It's done by the guy who draws for the Ask Aquilinus tumblr, and it's really quite exciting the first chapter in.

L9OBL said...

Awesome I was wondering when there was gonna be a cross over for this.

Al_Skylark said...

Me llamo IƱigo Montoya, tu mataste a mi padre. Preparate para morir.

Niko said...

Sounds pretty good

SuperGiantRobot said...

Good to see he's using Davenport as the hero:

I'm the one who gave Davenport his name.

Another "The Princess Bride" crossover?
Sweeeet...

Avi said...

Reading this because of the pun

Sethisto said...

@Al_Skylark if you are using the tĆŗ form, then conjugate morir into mores

The Idealist said...

THOSE TAGS! (rofl) I am so reading this!

Parvus Mannulus said...

I chuckled at the Additional Tags. Whoever typed those in deserves a gift basket.

Blayze Kohime said...

A pony take on the Princess Bride? Inconceivable!

Avi said...

The tags are a reference to the movie right?

Quote said...

If this is even half as AWESOME as the movie, I *might* just read this.

That is, if I have time.

Bronyoff said...

WOOOOHOOO!!! my fav movie and my fav pony!!!! things are good today

MrBeta said...

This is one of my favorite fanfics right now. So good.

Typewriterpony said...

Rainbow Dash sure can't stop herself from reading stuff these days!

Aeolus said...

No doubt, thia is the greatest thing in the world... Except for a nice mutton-lettuce BLT where the mutton is nice and lean and the lettuce is fresh and crisp... Mmmm, they're so tasty, I love that...

DPV111 said...

This looks like a straight ponification adaptation of the movie to me.

Hopefully it will be more derivative than a straight adaptation. (Like The Best Night Ever and Groundhog Day.)

ssj4raditz said...

You seem a decent fellow, I hate to kill you.
You seem a decent fellow, I hate to die.

GuerreroPerdido said...

Oh god yes. I am going to read this with all of my might.

Son Goharotto said...

@Select Few
Awww, did someone beat me to it?

@Parvus Mannulus
I take my gift baskets in the form of muffins.

@DPV111
There will be deviations, of course, but anyone who is familiar with the movie won't be surprised. Why mess with perfection?

Arrakiz said...

How the heck do you get a "light grimdark"?

Navy Brony said...

@Shiranai

@Blayze Kohime

Why do you keep saying this word? I do not think it means what you think it means.

Son Goharotto said...

@Arrakiz
Light Grimdark means a story addresses subject matter that would be inappropriate for a little girls' cartoon, but doesn't necessarily involve Cupcakes-level grossness.

BakedBad said...

I just finished reading the first chapter and was quite pleased. The pacing is nice, and so far, there is enough changes to the story to keep the crossover interesting. I looking forward to reading future chapters.

Al_Skylark said...

@Sethisto
I... What?
That's just... Spanish man xD And that's IƱigo's catchphrase in the spanish version :3

Also "mores" isn't a correct conjugation in Spanish for "morir", x)

kkarson said...

"Hello, my name is Indigo Manetoya. You cared for my father. Prepare to hug."

mycutiemarkisagun said...

Oh no, one of the additional tags is TORTURE!

I can't read this. It's too hardcore. :(

AquaSong said...

And now everypony will be quoting the movie in the comments.

I'm okay with this.

KingKazma1 said...

HOLEEEEEE SHIT
INCONCEIVABLE!

iloveMLP said...

I cant believe it
this is one awesome story

SuperGiantRobot said...

I want my sire back, you son of a bitch.

Big Mac. said...

hello, my name is Inigo Montoya, you killed my father, prepare to die.
best line from the movie i hope its incorporated some how into this

Bloodranz said...

@Sethisto Stop saying that word, I do not think it means what you think it means.
Following, would like/fav/sub/stalk/etc if I could!

Son Goharotto said...

@mycutiemarkisagun
Don't worry, we're not talking Cupcakes here.

@Big Mac.
I'll say right now that I couldn't possibly hope to match that level of pathos, so I'm going to take it in a slightly different direction.

Thuggyhoofs said...

were do i start reading tough

Son Goharotto said...

@Thuggyhoofs
The link leads right to Chapter One...

Jack Clover said...

hmm... the tags sound familiar...

Ryunosuke said...

Princess Bride... with Ponies


... Inconceivable!

Ryunosuke said...

just a thought though.... I'd have thought Dash would have been read to, instead of Scoots and Sweetie Bell... but I digress, good adaptation so far :)

Son Goharotto said...

@Ryunosuke
I actually started planning this well before the synopsis for Read It And Weep was leaked.

Bufflord said...

>"You keep using that word," the big red stallion noted. "I dun think it means what you think it means."

I laughed out so loud at this it drew awkward and unnecessary attention to myself. Well played, Cap'n Aquilinus.

IF(luttershy)WB said...

in the additional tags it says "true love" when it should say "twoo wuv"

Parvus Mannulus said...

this hasn't updated in ages... :(

Son Goharotto said...

@Parvus Mannulus
Don't worry, I haven't given up! Between life issues and complications in the upcoming story, I had to take a break from writing. Once I get over this hump, I should be able to resume a regular schedule.
