Once again, you have proven yourself the master of the Pony Fanfic. I bow before your graceful skill with the written word. I'm just glad I could say that I read it through and didn't wimp out from crying too much. Was a close one at times.
ReplyDeleteThe mentioning of sex seemed a little awkward to me, but yet, at the same time, made me grin even more. Is this what they mean by "Me Gusta"? XD
ReplyDeleteThen I thought to myself, "How...how would that even...happen!?" And then I realized, "Hay! Pinkie Pie's involved! There IS no earthly explanation and there doesn't NEED to be!" I do have a feeling, however, that a LOT of wingpetting was probably involved.
I agree, this should be a six-star story. This is easily, in my opinion, the best fic on the site. Well, this and that one with Braeburn in the Arabian nights type setting. But still!
ReplyDeleteWell, congratulations. You have done the one thing no other piece of writing on this site has done. You have made Kujii Tetsuiga cry... You don't even have a [sad] on the story, so you certainly must have constructed a beautiful piece. At first I smiled, and I laughed, I felt Pinkie Pie's pain at the rejection, I understood everything, and it crushed my soul... deeply crushed me.
ReplyDeleteThen... I stopped reading... it was over now, and yet I felt a bit over 5 minutes later the tears on my face. You had made me 'Daww', laugh, smile, and then cry. All over the course of a single story. Furthermore, under the policy of 'love and tolerate', I was brought to this story after declaring I don't like or think Shipping is good for the fandom... So you gave me all these positive emotions while proving me wrong, and making me feel good about being wrong.
You did a great job, don't let anyone ever take that away from you!
Beautiful, simply beautiful.
ReplyDeleteGotta admit, I didn't think it was possible to do Pinkie/Dash and make it work out, given how different they are... but this works. All too well. Beautifully done.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad I finally read this. I'd put it off for far too long, knowing how highly it was revered but daunted at the task for the same reason. I abuse the word heartwarming a lot in the comments for these sorts of stories, I'll admit. Get an inkling of manly tears out of me from a happy story and I will probably label it "heartwarming." The baseline for what is heartwarming and what isn't is pretty skewed in that regard.
ReplyDeleteBut what I don't readily admit to is when a story gets me to go from Manly Tears to straight up crying. To date, from the probably hundred pony stories I've read since becoming a Brony, I've only really cried 4 times. This story, Epilogue included, takes that up to 5.
And, most importantly, this is the first one out of them all that the crying was from happiness. I admit that it took a few minutes after the ending for it to start, for the feelings to sink in, but once it started it didn't readily stop. Reading the Epilogue certainly didn't help in that regard.
Both stories are 5/5s, without question. The Epilogue may not be exactly as good, but it is absolutely worthy of being a continuation of the masterful strokes of the original.
I thank ButterSc0tchSundae for writing the original, I thank Baree for writing the continuation, and I thank Mogasaki for drawing the beautiful picture that finally got me to make the time and sit down and read it.
GET FUCKING HASBRO ON THE PHONE.. NOW!!!

The whole "Cupcakes" part made laugh because of how well it was mocked which it has deserved for so darn long! It is not that great and just there for shock value...heck it sucks as a grimdark fic and if I'm wrong someone correct me it was made just to be a fic mocking PinkieDash which makes me mad because of the writers disregard for others preferences and if it had just been a regular grimdark fic I don't think I would have minded as much!
ReplyDeletetl;dr "Cupcakes" suck and "The Party Hasn't Ended" rules....I'll do a full review later...
while i have never cried at a fanfic i have come close, like really close. i have formed tears but they always dry before they are shed. you have come the closest to making me cry. this was an epic masterpiece of godly proportions, the characterization was spot-on for every character, the sad parts are sad enough to make me actually feel sad, the parts meant to be epic sent chills down my spine. i think fanfiction has reached it's peak right here. i haven't seen anything mix romance, humor, action and even horror (cupcakes reference made me almost throw up despite nothing happened in the end) since DARKMAN (coming from me, a huge DARKMAN fan that is definitely a compliment)
ReplyDeleteplease forgive my gushing (few tings can make me do this) and please excuse me calling you a group of inappropriate names at the beginning of the cupcakes reference (an old scar which REFUSES to heal)i should have known it wasn't actually gonna turn gridmark.
50 out of 5 stars!!!
To echo Rainbow Dash,
ReplyDeleteTHAT WAS AWESOME. D'AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
This is one one of the best fics on the sight. Right up there with "Spark" in my opinion, if not a little higher because this really seems to capture a bit more of the spirit of the show. The villain having such a back ground is totally believable, (nopony, is pure evil in that show,) All the characters are in character, especially Pinky Pie and that is saying something!
ReplyDeleteYou always kept that feeling the danger was very real, but kept just the right amount of humor to keep it believable that it could happen in the FIM universe. Ignore the Trolls, This is hands down one of the best fan fics, if not one of the best stories I've ever read.
P.S.
Celestia you... magnificent bastard...
Greatest Story Ever
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, just fucking beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI applaud you with every ounce of my being. I laughed, I cried, I wanted to kick Dash in the face. As a lesbian myself, I know what it's like to hide oneself, to run away from love, to fear what others think. I'm glad love triumphed in the end.
Also, the "Cupcakes" reference was hilarious. Just sayin'...
I was surprised by where you took this. I'll call it the best shipping I've ever read, but certainly not the best fanfic. For a few reasons: Rarity's dialogue was written in a really obnoxious way, and some of the loose ends of other relationships you tried to make just ended up to be random claims, and you never really tied them up.
ReplyDeleteBut a wonderful read nonetheless.
Wonderful story!
ReplyDeleteIt's tricky to say something that hasn't been said already...
I cried, I'm one of those people who usualy no matter how much they want to cry a a peice of fiction, They can't...
But I cried at this a little!
It's even stranger because I only got into the Ponies a week ago....
This is great, thanks.
ReplyDelete......... Holy shit. I haven't read this yet and I don't think I should right now. At least not until I am sober and maybe at work. Alcohol makes me waaaaay too emotional. The level of emotion in the FREAKIN COMMENTS ALONE is making me tear up. Sheesh.
ReplyDeleteHoly Crap........
ReplyDeleteButterscotch, I never knew you had it in you! This story is amazing! It's super crazy and demented, weird, but good. Very original, what with all the "entering your dreams/mind/heart" stuff. And all very heart-wrenching.
That whole Rainbowdash / Star Catcher thing? AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!! The pain is too much! That really got to me. All-in-ll a really great story
Note to readers: I also recommend the bonus chapter, which talks more about that.
I just finished it. I never cry for emotional reasons. Never. But this... this story is just too good not to cry.

ReplyDelete@Anonymous I agree. I was kinda hoping that someone would make this into an hour1/2 long pony movie
ReplyDelete@Anonymous I think Rainbow Pie is much better than Flutterpie.
ReplyDeleteOhgodthepain...
ReplyDelete@ButterscotchSundae!!!!
ReplyDeleteHow can I express how much I love this fanfic? It is easily the best I've ever read, it compares to some of my favorite books even. I feel like this story defines how amazing literature is not always found under the name of a well known author. Thank your for letting this into our lives.
6/5
Ugh. I'm almost tearing up, and it wasn't even a sad ending like some fics I've read. It was just...such a good story. So well written. Perfect amount of comedy and drama.
ReplyDeleteEvery once in a while I stumble across a story that I positively cannot put away for long, one that leaves me with a feeling that I am going to need a bit of time before I can give another one a fair chance to captivate me. The Party Never Ended is definitely one of these.
ReplyDeleteHowever, I do have a bit of critic as well. To avoid spoilage I put it over yonder: http://waymorethanrare.blogspot.com/2011/09/party-never-ended-review.html
Nevertheless, this story more than deserves its sixth star! It's funny, heart-warming and -wrenching and full of suspense, and also written with great style and rythm.

ReplyDeleteThis fanfic was by far one of the best things I have read in a while, with some amazing writing. I didn't expect this shipping to be as great as it is. It definitely deserves a sixth star and I don't know why it isn't a six star yet. I would recommend this to anypony who wants an amazing shipping or a really good fanfic to read in general.
ReplyDeleteI started Reading this before I went to bed at 11:00. It's 3:15 am now, and I have to wake up in less than 3 hours for school. Am I angry? No, because this story is just made of all things epic and I can't think of a better way to keep myself deprived of sleep than reading this fanfic. READ IT NAO!!!
ReplyDeleteToday marks the sixth time I've read Butterscotch Sundae's fantastic story posted here. It has not yet failed to bring tears to my eyes. Thank you, Butterscotch.
ReplyDelete@Timber
ReplyDeleteThis is the third time i've read it... and i'm so amazed every time. i link all my friends to this fic. its one of my absolute favorites
BEST STORY EVER
ReplyDelete*･゜ﾟ･*:.｡..｡.:*･'(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)'･*:.｡. .｡.:*･゜ﾟ･*
6 stars by far
(japanese emoticons are so fun)!
The bonus chapter did seem off, and I think it's because normally contractions such as can't and I'm are rampant in modern speech, and that story used the separate words way too often.
ReplyDeleteI'm not one who can cry (and I've watched Casshern Sins). But this Fic made a fair attempt, It brought up a lot of emotions and even now I still bear a pain in my heart a good 20 min after finishing.
ReplyDeleteI love both moments with Ditzy, they were well played, and everything right down to the creative event in Dashs heart was amazing.
It is a true pity it is over with but I'm greatful all the same. Thank you.
Anyone else having trouble from the Mobi version? Wanna read this on my kindle at work and it's all garbled.
ReplyDeleteI already commented on the story on DA; love it, love it a lot. Since this seems to be the only place to comment on the bonus chapter, I'll say it here: it was very poignant, and I loved it. It was sad, but it also kinda gave closure for everypony, and that definitely makes me feel better. One song came to mind as I read it: Like a Knife by Secondhand Serenade (heh, I actually found out about that song through Discordantly, but anywho...). But yeah, overall, TPHE was a great read, along with the bonus chapter. :)
ReplyDeleteCelestia is such a troll.
ReplyDeleteShould be star 6
ReplyDeleteThis is one of the first MLP fanfics I've read. One of the first fanfics I've read in any category, actually.
ReplyDeleteI thought Yours Truly and Simply Rarity and Out in the Cold were amazing but this was magnificent. As a 29 year old US Marine I will openly say that I was fighting back tears at the end.
You are an incredible writer. Thank you for creating this.
This is BY FAR the best shipping fanfic I've ever read. I actually felt tears come to my eyes while reading (tears of sorrow the first few chapters, and tears of joy at the end), something that almost never happens to me. Bravo, good sir. BRAVO.
