Tax evasion tag?

Beta-Carotene said...

That star-swirl's a spy!

wackypony said...

That Adventure tag went as said 'fuck off' to the brackets.

mrsteroids said...

Female Star Stirl? That's a first

The Invincible said...

Fake beards and tax evasion: the best tags since hog anxiety and mud wrestling.

Brookwood Bronco said...

Midnight Shadow! That's a new name! I think!

Blueshift said...

@wackypony

The adventure tag is having its own adventure!

Frostwyrm said...

the additional tags alone make me want to read this!

Bronyhub said...

Guess the conning runs in the family, this just raises my suspicions that Starswirl is Trixie's great grandfather or uncle.

Nnope. Midnight's been here for a while, ever since the new Fallout: Equestria side story compilations.

I need to go read this now, because a fic's awesomeness is directly proportional to the awesomeness of its additional tags (with some exeptions). Could anyone remind me what fic it was that had "absolutely not grimdark" as a tag?

Octavia said...

Tax evasion? lol That's an interesting tag for sure.

Jason Shadow said...

I almost decided to pass this story by. Now I'm glad that I didn't; Star Swirl is like a Crazy Awesome cross between & the Great and Powerful Trixie and Moist Von Lipwig.

Holy crap, that was awesome. Star Swirl is best pony!

General Patton said...

I guess you weren't aware of the secret genius pun? Amnio=bowl, morphic=pertaining to shape. It is a spell for shaping bowls. Combined with the beard, that makes Star Swirl a hairy potter.

Blueshift said...

@General Patton

Oh no, I'm very aware of that! It will be addressed in the very next chapter! ;)

Uther said...

Great now the one conformed great ‘stallion’ is ruined in a fanfic (The picture alone done that). The mares get everything.

Dancingmad said...

@Beta-Carotene

Not really

@mrsteroids

Nope.

Fun Fact: did you know that Star Swirl The Bearded is actually based off this character? The author of this fanfic is actually using an offical character and not OC.

I'm flagging this under "This sounds very interesting, but wonder if I have the time to sit down and read this."

TechnoTrot said...

@Dancingmad

Official in name only. Not once has it been canonically established that Starswirl was female. Basically, it's a canon OC (canon in name, but fully fanon in all other aspects).

Nyerguds said...

@TechnoTrot
Actually... I got a blue "Star Swirl" earth pony toy on my desk that says otherwise. Add a hat to camouflage the lack of horn, and a fake beard, and I think you might see what this story is all about :p

Dancingmad said...

@TechnoTrot

You're right,Star Swirl the bearded is male I'm not denying it ^^U.But what I'm trying to say is that the official Star Swirl is female.

There's a G4 toy named Star Swirl (who has been in every previous generation)that is female and an earth pony.If anything is Star Swirl The bearded(the male one)is the canon OC here.

In any case,I would like the writers to show us more Star Swirl (both versions)

The emperor isn't wearing any clothes!!

Sereg said...

Despite the fact that my own fic has female earth pony Star Swirl from the toy line as the descendant of Star Swirl the Bearded rather than the same pony, I'm really enjoying this. She's got this lovable rogue thing going on.

Blueshift said...

@Sereg

Which fic is that, let us link-swap! :)
