A third part? Interesting.
ReplyDeleteWell...I need something to do. And I liked the other parts xD
ReplyDeleteSWEET. Will get around to reading it another time though. Loved the other two prequels.
ReplyDeleteI really liked this story, especially your portrayal of Discord. Most stories I've read have Discord be more malevolent than chaotic or entertaining, but you hit a very nice balance.
ReplyDeleteAll of my stars.
And, even though it's "over", I hold out hope another sequel of sorts is in the works... one of my favorite stories.
ReplyDeleteIf something gets enough sequels (Sometimes even just one) I grow curious and have to investigate further.
ReplyDelete(This happened with Portal, Paper Mario, and other games like that.)
I'll look into the previous stories and see what score they earned. Maybe read a bit and see if it catches me.
i like the description in this story, but the pacing is a little too slow
ReplyDeleteWhy isn't this an episode? I want this to be an episode!
ReplyDeleteWarren, you bastard. I can't believe you stuck a Rick Roll in there.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I loved this story just like I loved the other two. A nice end to the trilogy.
Warren you magnificent bastard, rick rolling me like that. Despite that, you do write a great episode-like story. I congratulate you.
ReplyDeleteFirst Ive been rick rolled reading a story.
ReplyDeleteGood stuff!
Outstanding! I thoroughly enjoyed this, and it is more evidence that its worth making the time for any fics by Warren Hutch, I am never disappointed :)
ReplyDeleteYou have no idea how ecstatic I was to see a third installment in this series. :D I now wish I hadn't read the comments; I'm gonna be waiting for it.
ReplyDeleteSo I was thinking to myself, man, how can he pull off a part three? Wouldn't the joke get old? But then I'd forgotten, and was just reminded of, what happened in the last chapter. This promises to be amazing.
...Oh shit, this is not gonna be good. XD
DavenStitch OTP. Their oppressive mundanity remains adorably entertaining. :D Poor Rarity. I'm laughing so hard already, this is just the thing I needed to relax.
Mint and raspberry? D: Eugh.
Ootini! XD Also Ning.
I love the description of their escape from their house, and yet I can only think, "Just another day in Ponyville."
Poit! There'd better be a Narf in there somewhere. (Spoiler: THERE WAS NO NARF D:)
"It's time for me to go put on a watch." That's a fantastic Pinkie moment. She was all but comatose in comparison, in the first chapter, but she's back in full form now!
It's life, Fluttershy, but not as we know it, not as we know it, not as we know it.
Pinkie's loaf of bread line would be useful in 20 questions. "Will Pinkie Pie take back-sass from it?"
Wonderbolts trading cards! See, it's little touches like that that make this worth reading. Along with, you know, just everything. Let's say this is the mark of a great writer. For what it's worth, I also love the "fruit striped feather duster" insult. That's genius.
"binarch"? Well, I get it... Sometimes words are weird, man. c.c The later "bank flackwards" more than makes up for it, though.
OH MAN THAT'S COOL
Wow, that's an evil plan. Almost as evil as his constant stream of alliterations.
That may be the best Discord I've ever read. Perfectly spot-on. And this is really turning out to be way more than I ever anticipated it could be.
Ahh, the universal greeting!
The turnstile thing! XD Again, tiny details that are nonetheless as hilarious as big ones!
Wow, Screwball actually talking is really weird. c.c I suppose that goes without saying.
AUGH I KNEW IT WAS COMING AND IT STILL GOT ME
Pincenez Loomaw. I am speechless.
OOH. Davenport took Button's last name? That is a detail which has not been overlooked by me. I've quite considered the same thing to be commonplace in Equestria, myself.
No bickering. XD
HAH, SUCK IT DISCORD!
Amazing ending. If I had any complaint, it's that the climax just came and went; there was nothing between Discord telling them what wouldn't work and Button deciding to do what she did. Still, this is a fantastic ending to the series and I can't wait to see what you do next. :D
That's meeeeeee.
ReplyDeleteThis is Hutch's third story in a row stuck with 4.8! For freaking crying out loud, all three are six star stories! Graaaaggh!
ReplyDeleteThe best one in the "Screwball" trilogy. Exellent way to end the Screwball trilogy. You're quite good balancing the drama with the comedy. I also loved how Discord had a subtle role in this, even though he was trapped in his stone prison the whole time. Chapter 3 definately shows how genre-savvy, and dangerously clever he can be, and he seems more in-character in this fic' then any other MLP fanfic I've read. It really had me scratching my head wondering how they were going to solve this problem. (I must add, the mini-Screwballs sounded very cute, and funny.)
ReplyDeleteI also love how you put in cartoony sight-gags in these fics'. (Wich most fanfic writers don't do. They forget this is a cartoon.) I chuckled at the bit when Applejack hurt her head, and she had tweeting flying apples circling her head. That was a good one!
