Dat Picture.
ReplyDeleteSounds interesting!
ReplyDeleteTwilight fics are always good, and that picture is badflank
ReplyDeleteOh, cool... this story made it to Equestria Daily. I've been digging it so far. I love seeing Twilight throw down against the major magic users of Equestria (and whatever the other nations of the world are called.) It's also fun seeing her as a reluctant celebrity.
ReplyDeleteAnd, of course, the inevitable match against the Great and Powerful one.
Looking forward to the next chapter.
@Sir Le Flour
ReplyDeleteAnd that's a totally not biased opinion, right?
The only reason I wasn't invited is because chaos conjuration and illusion is not 'real magic'.
ReplyDeleteThat committee can kiss my flank. Chaos is real magic. I can create clouds from a boulder for Celestia's sake. I can make it hail sugar cubes and snow ice cream if I wanted.
Well they better expect it to rain frogs and slime on the day of the competition.
Twilight must win that competition. We're counting on you. Yours truly, ^_^

i'd read this, but i dislike Trixie...so... no
ReplyDelete@mrsteroids
ReplyDeleteTrixie isn't that important to the story, I wouldn't immediately skip on this story just because of her.
The story is very interesting and well written. It takes a bit too much liberties with other equestrian races for my taste and a dragon / pony magic battle still seems a bit unfair to me, but those things don't distract from the story and a really tense tournament. It will be an interesting finale, that's for sure!
I've been waiting for a good tournament fic. I hope this one lives up to my expectations.

ReplyDeleteHow can it be a biased opinion, when it´s the truth? :P
XDDD
Anyway will give it a look, might interest me if the battles are good written and Twlight isn´t too OP and isn´t OOC.
@Mr. Unsmiley Twilight's competition in the first round: Negi Springfield, Gildarts, Majin Buu, Clow Reed, and Harry Potter.
ReplyDeleteIt's a multi-verse magical melt-down! This Saturday! Saturday!! SATURDAY!!!! BEEEEEYAAAAATCH!!
Looks good, will put in backlog.
ReplyDeleteGah, how could you cut off the first submission at such a cliffhanger? D:
ReplyDeleteCouldn't of waited until this one was complete?
ReplyDelete@Rafasde
ReplyDeleteNever
*liarjack*
Yep, nothing to do with twilight being second best pony.
NOOOOOOOOOOOO
ReplyDeleteI just started reading it, and it was really good, AND NOW FIMFICTION IS DOWN
Wow, I never thought I'd see my art on the front page of EqD! I'm elated!!!
ReplyDeleteRead all of it in one day. Damn. Next chapter better come soon.
ReplyDelete@NoOne
ReplyDeleteOh, hey! You were also featured in a drawfriend a few days ago. I hope you don't mind that I used your picture for my fic, but the CC license you're using looked like it was alright. It really is a great picture. :)
So much love for badass Twilight.
ReplyDeleteSO MUCH.
Eagerly waiting for the update and LE ULTIMATE BATTLE
An important magic competition, you say ?
ReplyDeleteWell then... I expect (especially from Twilight) some big and great magic displays... not like in 90% of the Harry Potter series...
@Cyanide
ReplyDeleteShould I mind somebody's story getting my artwork featured on EqD? I'm honored that someone would choose it to represent their work!
I did set the CC license accordingly. Data wants to be free, don't-cha know.
@honeybo
ReplyDeleteWOW! Someone else was logged into my account and I posted. WHOOPS!
That might have been really confusing...
The opening to chapter 12 reeaally threw me for loop, thought for a minute that some lost chapter from earlier in the story was getting posted out of order or something. That aside, I'm enjoying this story quite a bit, and I can't wait for the next chapter. I've just gotta' see how this duel plays out. :D
ReplyDeleteThis is a great story for a first time fanfic reader like me
ReplyDeletePS am i the only thinking twilight sparkle
Will be turned in to a alicorn
Awesome story! Badass Twilight but true to her cannon personality! 5/5
ReplyDeleteI've only just found this story, but it sucked me in immediately. I just couldn't stop reading the story until I reached the end of chpt. 12, and now I'm on tenterhooks to find out what's going to happen next.
ReplyDeleteThe storyline is compelling, the presentation of magic interesting, the world-building expansive yet still believable, and the characters true to their canon personalities.
Their are some minor typos and awkward phrasing here and there, but nothing sufficiently noticeable to detract from a 5 star story that I can hardly wait to continue.
Well done, Cyanide!
I was going to sleep tonight, but I ended up reading all of it. Moar zomg!
ReplyDelete@Noteperson
ReplyDeleteSigh. In a textbook example of Dean's Law in action, my sentence complaining of typographical errors had a typo in it: it's "there", not "their".
While I'm back here, I also want to mention one thing I left out yesterday - the references to "Friendship is Witchcraft" tickled me. I commend you for including them in an amusing and unobtrusive way.
@Sethisto
You, sir, are a pony of taste and discernment.
Ha ha, yes! A new update. Initiating read sequence...
ReplyDelete... it was everything I hoped for. I won't say anything here to avoid spoiling it, except that the battle most thoroughly rocks.
ReplyDeleteRead the whole darn thing in one sitting! Holy cow, I love this. It's original, exciting, intriguing... everything a great story needs.
ReplyDeleteSo this story actually got rejected from here? I *really* hoep it was from former technical issues as this story is far better than most on here.
ReplyDeleteHappy it managed to catch my eye when it updated.
*Vague Spoiler Alert*
ReplyDeleteYou know, I can kinda see the point of the Dragon Queen's rationale, since that seemed to be localized Discord-tier magic that was going on in that last chapter.
That story was a ton of fun! I was cheering for Twilight all along. And that last chapter was pure gold, especially with that introspective little bit. I would love to see a wrap-up chapter though. Great writing, thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteEDIT (latest 2 chapters): There is more. Wrapping up is good, thanks for dragging it out, I don't want it to end ^_^
yey for a new chapter release Twi is getting bad ass
ReplyDeleteI don't know how you made me feel sorry for the dragon queen, but I do…just a bit. Fear and paranoia go a long way it seems. And what of Twilight? She's burning herself out. Even if she can handle that much power physically, her mind can't. I hope she finds something to keep herself grounded, besides the princesses, otherwise there'll be trouble. That's assuming she survives this encounter of course.
ReplyDeleteI want to read more of this so bad, it hurts. Thank you for sharing!
Huh.
ReplyDeleteWhew. Glad all the fighting's over, I don't think Twilight could have taken much more!
ReplyDelete*tap,tap* Hello? It this thing on?
ReplyDeleteUpdate soon?
Please?
"Twilight Sparkle

All my want.
Yesyesyes! Great ending to a great story!
ReplyDeleteA nice, quiet ending, for an exciting, rollercoaster of a tournament. Thank you for sharing :-)
