Before starting, I'm going to guess this is The Ember Island Players done pony-style. See if I'm right...
ReplyDeleteTHEATRICS! ヽ(´o｀)
ReplyDeleteI must say, genuinelly enjoying the little gags within it, well adapted to text humour with some great skits. hadn't realised it was a "part" until it ended (the ED post doesn't mention it's a one part continuing) so it's an intriguing surprise to hear that more will be coming.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to the...you might say...second act. :p

I like it! You're spot on with the characterizations, and I'm looking forward to seeing the play and everyone's reactions. Keep up the great work!

ReplyDeleteMy guess to.
Avatar: The Last Airbender was the most flawlessly done cartoons ever in my opinion.
Hahaha, okay, that was pretty great. Nice work, looking forward to the rest of it.
ReplyDeleteYou write Rarity so much better than I do! T_T But I took notes! Very well written first chapter! Until the next one I probably will have images of ponies performing "Pirates of Penzance" ... for no other reason that Pony Theatrics is an awesome idea.
ReplyDeletePoor Dashie...luck just wasn't on her side tonight.
ReplyDeleteAnyways, you did a great job keeping everyone in character, and I look forward to seeing this continued!
I like.
ReplyDeleteI would also hope that this is an Ember Island Players-like retelling of the Nightmare Moon thing.
Guys, how do you think they're gonna twist the characters?
Maybe...
Make Rainbow Dash a colt.
Add a romance between Dash and Pinkie.
Make Rarity reciprocate Spike's affections.
Just a few ideas.
If I was writing this story, I guaruntee you the twist at the end would be that this is a story relayed from what Spike told the Equestrian Thespians about the adventures of those days.
Hey guys. Author here. I don't know how to make a profile. *shrug*
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to let you all know that this fic isn't any kind of a reference to Avatar or the episode Ember Island Players. The play is going to be original, rather than lifted from the adventures of the mane cast. Sorry for any confusion/disappointment.
Quite enjoyable. The characters are portrayed just as I'd expect them to be in the show. Pinkie's behavior when Dash was asking for a cupcake on layaway was especially amusing. I'll add this one to my reading list. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteSo... Will Trixie appear next chapter? :P
ReplyDeleteThat was fun, a bit surprised it was a Part 1, but then I probably should have paid more attention to the title.
ReplyDeleteThis could easily pass for an actual episode. I'm looking forward to the next chapter.
Aww... now I have to wait for the actual play... That was a very well-done part though; you got the characters pretty spot-on.

ReplyDeleteI can't decide if that would be a good thing or a bad thing for this story...
for sake of asking (and i may for other stories)
ReplyDeleteWill this update?
