Story Updates February 4th (Evening)



I can't tell if normal ponies or fillies are cuter. 

Have some art while I think of a poll to decide!

Story: Tinker, Tanner, Hunter, Spy (Update Part 15+16)




[Normal][Comedy]

Author: Shamus_Aran
Description: Archer is not having a good day. He's recently been knocked unconscious and imprisoned by a Fae race, notorious for their animosity towards his kind and each other. Instead of cannibalistic Merfolk or mischievous Fairies, he finds... talking ponies. Who want him to be their "friend."

He is sentenced to remain in a small town they call Eqshana, until he can learn to "live in harmony" with its inhabitants. Unfortunately, a message from his king, Jove V, has turned his prison sentence into a mission of espionage. Now he must escape these no-doubt insidious creatures, and even more importantly, stay sane doing it. Along the way, he will answer one of the most important questions he has ever faced: Is there really nothing to eat around here besides hay?

gb2matty said...

Art? ART?! This is stories, not ART!

kwj said...

y u no update fics I am reading

Mattatatta said...

>Have some art

I do believe these are fanfic updates. I might be wrong, but they do look awfully like fanfics, that are updated.

Bronyhub said...

I'm getting really sick of all you firsters just saying random stuff just to be first, but sigh, I suppose this is the internet, love and tolerate, and all that. People are probably just as sick of seeing complaints about first posts... Anyway it looks like I haven't read any of the stories in this update, which do you guys recommend? Shipping doesn't bother me, but I prefer epics over slice-of-life style fics.

Bootsa said...

Heck YES World Without Rainbows! I shall now continue to put off my studying.

Vinyl_Regret said...

Writing is an art. No need for a huff.
Poll: Which type of post do you read the most? (Drawfriends, music, instrumentals, stories)
But yeah, I don't read fanfics.

Spell Nexus said...

Damnit, none of the fics I read are updating
Welp, back to TF2 I suppose

Bronyhub said...

@Bootsa

Meh, studying is overrated anyway, I say when in doubt, pony
out! Party now study later! Party now study later! (kudos to anyone who gets the reference).

Coconutswallow said...

@Mattatatta
Writers are artists! We paint with words!

And yes, that is something writers really say to each other.

AestheticB said...

@Coconutswallow
Is that a penny arcade reference I detect? You sir, are fantastic.

Niko said...

Some good shit here

Select Few said...

"Have some art"
While I agree that some stories can be considered art, are you sure that this wasn't supposed to be a Drawfriend?

MyBoyJ said...

Rainbow Dash looks kind of fat in that picture.

eXtaticus said...

No shipping?

NO shipping whatsoever?

Seth, I am disappoint.

Surprise Pie-Anderson said...

Apologies for pissing you off. I saw the opportunity and just had to take it. Just this one time. Peace out.

Vurtax said...

Another day without the 5th chapter of My Little Dovah...

PinamenaDianePieTheThird said...

On the chance that some fan-fic authors are reading this, I would like to say that an update of Growing Pains, Not Your Forte, Teardrops and Snowflakes, and or The Ballad of Twilight Sparkle would be appreciated, thank you.

Pashoo said...

Steadfast Skies yes

White Ink said...

@Bronyhub DEFINITELY A World Without Rainbows. It's a great story.

Jeyavara said...

Binky Pie AND Steadfast Sky updates! Today is a good day.

mycutiemarkisagun said...

is it just me or does it seem like Envy and Arrogance should have waaaaay more chapters? Because I swear that it updates as often as Upheaval.

Spitszs said...

"Have some art while I think of a poll to decide!"
>Posts stories instead
Ok

Mindblower said...

@mycutiemarkisagun Well, it's been updating once a day since near the end of January. So, it's been published for thirteen days so far. There are only nineteen official chapters, so in a little under a week, I'll be finished uploading. It's just that I'd hate to be one of those authors that updates once a month, like some of the stories I'm tracking...

Mindblower said...

@Bronyhub Well, I'm obviously going to endorse Envy and Arrogance as choice reading (since I'm its author and all), but The Steadfast Sky and A World Without Rainbows both seem like worthwhile reads, at least, from their summaries.

DarkRaven22 said...

@jimmynator yeah, the cliffhanger may have been evil, but it's gonna get worse before it gets better. My guess is the next chapter will be the darkest of all of them, considering there are only 2 chapters left..

BossManJohn said...

I am really enjoying "A World Without Rainbows", could easily recommend it to anyone who likes adventure/suspense. Admittedly it is a little dark, (no pun intended) but it uses violence as a point of conflict and not just for meaningless shocks.

rbwhiffet said...

A World Without Rainbows updated? Buck yeah! Of all the best things that could happen, this is the BEST. POSSIBLE. THING!

Feral Socks said...

Elysian Fields? That's not going to be a part of some big suburban developement conspiracy, it it?

Braeburn Apple said...

I would have to say that ponies are cuter. The fillies look a bit to hyper.

RisingStar said...

World without Rainbows...Binky Pie...there goes 20 minutes.
