ReplyDeletethis is awesome! need moar!
ReplyDeleteThey both want a sofa.
ReplyDeleteThe employer wants an employee with a passion.
This is unrelated, but I need help with something and don't know where else to put it.
ReplyDeleteI'm writing a fic, and the word "Manned" as in "The person manning the counter" has come up.
But it's about ponies.
What is the pony substitute for manned?
Should I go with the obvious translations, like stallionned or ponnied?
Or should I go with a pun, like maned?
@Anonymous
ReplyDeleteI'd suggest 'none of the above' Go with something like 'behind the counter' or similar.
Just when I thought there was a fanfic for every possible pony...
ReplyDeleteThis is great. I could not stop grinning throughout the story. I love how you set up a ridiculous premise and then have the characters all take it seriously.
@Anonymous-I'd suggest "ponied", since it fits best with the show's conventions. "Mared" could also work if it's gender-appropriate. Or go with "staffed" and dodge the issue.
Spike lost to RD in rock paper scissors ...:D
ReplyDelete@Anonymous Use some other term! Like 'stationed at' or something.
ReplyDelete<3 Davenport <3 You have my read.
ReplyDeleteAt first, I wasn't quite sure what I was reading. I mean, the Quill and Sofa pony? Really? But then I continued it, and I laughed like crazy at a lot of the story. Especially at Spike's '"Oh man..." even though he doesn't know what a man is', and how Rainbow must be Equestria's reigning Rock, Paper, Scissors champion with how much she abused the system there to cheat Spike out of a win.
ReplyDeletePenultimate paragraph was priceless! Keep up the great work
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness this is amazing I need more now
ReplyDeleteMared works perfectly, actually. Thanks.
ReplyDelete>MFW Quills 'n' Sofas Store fic
ReplyDelete>MFW it even manages to not be shipping
Not bad. Got a few chuckles out of me.
ReplyDeleteI wonder how this will get resolved though...
Well, this is real "out-of-left-field" plot, isn't it? Keep at it.
ReplyDeleteLoved it! Can't wait for more!
ReplyDeletethis is awesome.
ReplyDeletelaughed at spike's comment about lyra's sitting antics
Mr. Davenport scares me o.o
ReplyDeleteDo you know anyone who needs a sofa? love that quote
ReplyDeleteThat was fun, I could certainly see this as the plot for an actually episode.
ReplyDeleteThis does bring up the question of how ponies play Rock,Paper,Scissors with only hooves. I assume only they can really tell the difference between the signs.
That was really good felt like something for the actual show which is really nice. The premise was kinda silly but it made up for the really good writing.
ReplyDeleteThe Rock,Paper,Scissors and Lyra being thrown out of a chair made me laugh pretty hard.
I like it when fics feature two characters who rarely interact with eachother. Spike and Rainbow Dash having a rivalry has so many potential, especially in sillier stories like this one.
ReplyDeleteVery funny! Poor Lyra, just as she was getting used to that nice sofa.
ReplyDeleteKeep it up, I want to see how this ends.
This is easily the most in depth, comprehensive, piercing examination of the inner workings of a quill and sofa enthusiast I, and probably anyone has ever read, and one that's long overdue.
ReplyDeleteSo, I have a question: Where's Rainbow Dash gonna put a sofa?
ReplyDelete@Anonymous
ReplyDeleteNo modifications necessary. The pony manning the cash register can hand over change, even though it's not a man and doesn't have hands. That's just English -- trying to modify the language for ponies is really awkward.
@Anonymous
ReplyDeleteIn her living room, duh.
*trollface*
Haha, what did I just read? I love it! My only recommendation is to keep it ship-free. Nice job with a realistic, funny, entertaining fic.
ReplyDeleteUmm, chapter 2 has been up for quite a while. Why did this update now?
ReplyDelete@Anonymous
ReplyDeleteMethinks its an error. Yeah, I remember reading this just a few days ago, so to see an "update" but nothing has actually changed...
Admins?
As a person who had a sales job earlier this Summer Dash and Spike came off as a little too strong for their sales. Spike had the right Idea while talking to Lyra but blew it when he lacked the proper knowledge about the Sofa.
ReplyDeleteEither way it got some laughs from me.
>get excited to see that this updated
ReplyDelete>see that the two chapters are still there
>no update
D:
Memory problem, Seth??
ReplyDelete*trollface*
...Chapter 2 has ALWAYS been there stupid
ReplyDeleteSo far, so good
ReplyDelete:D
This is the proper blog for anybody who needs to seek out out about this topic. You realize a lot its virtually hard to argue with you (not that I actually would want…HaHa). You undoubtedly put a brand new spin on a subject thats been written about for years. Nice stuff, simply nice!
ReplyDeleteI just remembered I need a new a sofa... And I am running dagerously low on quills...
ReplyDeletePoor Lyra. Besides Spike, she must be the only resident of Ponyville who can get the most out of a sofa.
ReplyDeleteI love how this is all like "Yeah, this is ridiculous. Deal with it."
ReplyDeleteHaha, this is crazy good! I do love a good comedy story.
ReplyDeleteLlama Llaughed out Lloud and Lloved every Lline, Llyra's bit made this even more perfect.
ReplyDeleteSlowpoke the turtle. I laughed more than I should have.
ReplyDeleteStupid Rainbow, you forgot to buy the quill
ReplyDelete*reads ch. 3*
ReplyDeleteLol!!!! Spike you little genius.
That part with Twilight had me on the floor.
Episode material.
ReplyDeleteIt started off pretty slow. I'm into Chapter Two now, and...
ReplyDeleteRock Paper Scissors.... ...
"No, this is rock." *snrk*
BWAAAAhAHAHAHAHAHAA
This is making me smile.
ReplyDeleteSo about those aliens and cereal?
In the words of one rainbow dash: bwahahahaha!!!! Loved it!
ReplyDeleteHahaha, that was awesome! We need more FICA like this that are funny and mostly realistic. Great job.
ReplyDeleteStupid autocorrect. Fics*
ReplyDeleteThat story feels like an episode.
ReplyDeleteIt was so fun to read! =3
Isn't this complete now? The sofa has been won and there is no loose plot threads. Unless you think they actually wanted the job.
ReplyDelete^ Eeyup. ^
ReplyDeleteShould be tagged complete.
This was hilarious! I could totally see something like this happening in the show. Kudos to you.
ReplyDelete"Spike tossed her onto the bed like Mario tossing a vegetable at a shyguy"
ReplyDeleteI can see it so vividly :l Amazing story by the way
Love the story but why is it listed under rainbow dash if she was sleeping the whole time *spoiler alert*
ReplyDeleteSome really nice ideas in there. Ponys playing Rock Paper Scissors? Lyra trying out Sofas? Slowpoke the turtle? Just perfect :)
ReplyDeleteBut the story should be marked complete, it is finished after all and I nearly didn't read it because of the incomplete tag.
Bwhahahaha, that was adorable!
ReplyDeleteSo many good jokes, from Spike's mom, to the whole Sofas and quills thing, to Lyra, and also a nice ending ^^ Good job!
This is so amazing. What a brilliant pony.
