Pony Fanfiction Thread

Because the My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic thread in Western Animation is getting clogged with fanfiction stuff, it's probably better to just make a thread for that and let the thread be about the actual show.

Anyway, here's my crap.

EDIT: And now for a list of works by the various people in this thread.

• Myself: Bedtime Story, With a Little Help From My Friends, Catch Me If You Can, The Book of Friendship, Make Our Garden Grow, AAAAAAAAAAArientation, This Nearly Was Mine, The Ballad of the White Rose.
• Kegisak: Feedback, They Never Fall Far, The Colour You Bleed, My Time Among Clothes Hangers
• CDRW: A Still More Glorious Dawn Awaits
• Perpetual Lurker: Make a Wish.
• Rich Reeders: Punch Drunk, Quit Dragon Your Heels, Sun and Moon
• Kuroi Tsubasa Tenshi: Evil's Twilight, Passions,
• Sereg: An Earth Pony's Guide to Magic
• Sessalisk: Darkest Before Dawn
• Librarian: The Griffin War, Come To Your Senses.

Also, this got posted and people thought it should be on front here

Rambler's Law

The farther the Pony Fanfiction Thread strays from its declared topic, the faster it accumulates new posts.

If you wish to discuss Fallout: Equestria, please take it to the Fallout: Equestria thread also in this forum.

Oh Wow. That list is now out of date. Anyway, other update thingy in that some folks decided we should have

• Thread Treasure Chest - For stuff a lot of us like.
• Treasure Chest Waiting Room - For stuff that one person likes and they hope accumulates votes.

Thank you

Yeah i really need help in writing for Rarity. I can't keep her sounding kind, while also being The Libby

Okay, for now I'm just leaving this here for posterity. It's a crossover involving the ponies, so I guess it fits, even if they won't be dominating the plot the whole way through.

Just in case anyone else was interested

Game script

so are people going to comment here or am i suppose to look for something in goggle docs?

Fanfiction threads overall don't advance as fast as other kinds of threads. Give it some time.

Ah but this is a transpose from here so i kind of expect the same people and activity there here since it's a Spin-Off

Spinoffs are often not as popular as the mother thread. It happens.

This topic WILL become popular! YOU WILL LOVE IT!!!

In other news, my fanfics are no longer hosted on Google Docs. I've now set up a Tumblr account for them.

If Kuroi or Kegisak are reading this, you'll be happy to know I acted on your suggestions and improved some parts, especially in the second chapter. I'd like ya'll to re-read it and tell me what you think.

(and anyone else whose interested, tell me what you think too).

@ Pannic

I read all six chapters of With a little help from my friends, and I'm intrigued. I want to read on to see where the story is going, which is a good sign of course.

There are a few mistakes I picked up on, such as in chapter 4, it says that 'he saw that the front gat was open,' but overall, good effort.

@Neko I'd like to help everyone, but much of the writing isn't exactly short and to actually give good advice, I find I need to do a bit of analysing. It's pretty easy to run out of both steam and time. I'll be around and see what I can do, but that's about all I can promise.

@Moe Alright, I'll take a look and get back to you later.

Just wasn't sure if between Google Docs and the new thread there was something else i needed to do.

I know it's been done to death, but would Celestia work as a Magnificent Bastard type villain? cuz in my fanfiction I wanted both her AND Nightmare Moon to be the villains, not working together of course.

You know, Neko, it would help if you allowed us to see your fic without having to ask permisson first.

Is writing a fanfic out like a script a wise thing to do? As in do people actually read fanfics when their formatted like that?

Right, started a fic: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1kMwMRsgUJw2JjM9OKjS-le8riXn3LTFZx9aeq0jiJQ4/edit?hl=en_US&authkey=COLuotAK#

Feedback would be appreciated. The full title is The Four Lords of Equestria, but for now it's just the prologue.

It's been used before. Stuff like writing a chatlog between characters or something like that. Whether it's a good idea usually depends on each individual fic.

now see that what I need to know since i'm new to goggle Docs better?

re Script Fics - They can be done well and used to be quite popular before fanfiction.net put a ban on them. The main problem is that younger writers use them as an excuse to be lazy. As long as you know how to properly write and format a script and you're not going to use it as an excuse not to describe anything, then it should work.

since mine is a game script is sometimes reads as a cript since well the interactive elements need to be clear for the programmer to follow non linerally, while Cutscenes are done in a narative format.

Damn, I feel bad now. While I try to keep details in, scripts are by design less detailed than prose. I'm a film student so i'm more used to writing scripts
