      Guys, this isn't straight shipping. Its about as close as possible to being a parody. Hell, it is a parody, if I'm being honest.



      In regards to the story, it was funny. A bit meta for my tastes, and absolutely god-damned insane at points, but still quite funny.

      After reading this story, I'm left... disappointed. It wobbled for most of the beginning, mostly with Dash's apparent readiness to admit self-doubt to her friends, but it really crumbled when it hit the supposed "shipping" part. I mean... good God, I know Dash can be shipped with anypony, but apparently the relationship can be so forced and unnatural that it's hard to view as anything like shipping. The jokes ultimately fall flat, and I am no more convinced of Photo/Dash shipping than I am of Thunderhooves/Granny Smith.

      Also, “Compulsive-Cutielingus-Insanity-Syndrome?” WHAT?

      If this is a parody, then Mel Brooks would be spinning in his grave, were he dead. Seeing how he's alive, I'm sure he just felt a great disturbance in the Schwartz, as if millions of jokes cried out at once, and were suddenly booed off-stage.

      In the immortal words of Photo Finish...
      "What... just... happened?"

      I really mean it. What just happened? It's going along at a decent clip, nothing too out of the ordinary save for the arguably OOC kickstart to it with Rainbow's whole huge self doubt thing and then... BOOM! Cutie Mark Licking? And then fake sex in the street and then an after-sex-in-bed bit?

      I say again. What just happened? Where did this come from?!

      Also... why did I almost... kinda enjoy it?

      If I could give half stars it'd be 3.5/5, but I'll round up to 4.

      How can a horse corset be busty? Horses don't have busts.

      Both the title of the story and the google doc itself are just so very, incredibly smooth.

      Most of it was okay, right up until the actual shiping. It makes no sense, feels entirely forced and out of place, almost as though the story started out with some other auther. All in all; Can't tell if juxtaposition or just poor taste.

      I love it when the filename doesn't match the title.

      Check that second sentence: it tells us what the first sentence told us, only in greater detail. The writing needs some work, is my point. Just sayin'.

      I do like the idea that Rainbow Dash and Rarity have something in common that way. Raging wingboners what. Twilight doesn't have a bust! Well, I'm glad at least one of Rainbow Dash's friends isn't completely against the idea of accompanying her to Canterlot.

      Socks, what. God, the memes are killing me, and I don't mean that in a bad way.

      You know what I'm loving about this? Excellent Photo Finish characterization. Don't see that often. Well, I don't see her at all, actually, but that the one time I do is well played is a good thing!

      WAIT WHAT JUST HAPPENED RAINBOW DASH OH MY GOD. THIS IS HIGHLY IRREGULAR.

      Wow. This is a pretty brash piece of absurdity. I think I'm at a loss for words here. That was weird.
