• Story: Space Oddpony

    [Crossover][Normal] Ponies...IN SPACE! Crossover only because it's based off of David Bowie's "Space Oddity", everything is still poni.

    1. I enjoyed this FAR more than I should have. Should maybe have a shipping tag though, I can imagine the whining.

    2. Hardcore awesome, but yeah, I suppose it deserves a shipping tag. Still, very amusing in several ways.

    3. It's not often you see a fic based on a classic David Bowie song.

      ...Then again, thinking about it, MLP was kind of asking for it thanks to Diamond Dogs.

    4. That was fun. Ashes to ashes, funk to funky, we know Rainbow Dash's a junkie.

      As long as we don't get one based on "Oh You Pretty Things" we're good.

    5. This was fun and well written with good pacing. Characters are consistent and the idea is carried through to a suitable ending. Two thumbs, will want to read again.

      Fun fact: In the song, when the press wants to know 'whose shirts you wear' they're asking what football club Major Tom is a supporter of.

      I didn't suggest a shipping tag because the relationship is really an artifact of the source material played up a little more because it serves as good motivational fuel for our stranded and wayward hero to kick impossibility in the face and save herself from a freezy void-based death.

      But I guess people can be kind of sensitive even to implications, so perhaps I should have. Sorry, everypony!

    9. A bit of Space Oddity, a bit of Dash kicking the Cold Equations in the face!
