    On the fly

    A fly was sitting on the window. The term ‘sit’ might not be entirely correct, given how windows are vertical surfaces, but it captures the essence of the act, so let’s keep it. So, he was sitting and sitting, rubbing his front pair of legs from time to time as flies are prone to do. Fly thoughts swirled through his head lazily, and all in all he just enjoyed all the virtues of being a fly.

    I lost my brohoof-virginity

    I'm writing this mainly because I'm getting tired of my previous blog post, but those who are interested in Spain (or, more specifically, in Barcelona) OR my incredibly sexy and might I add MANLY beard, read on!

    In a nutshell

    But seriously, I think I wouldn't be against ending the fourth generation of MLP right here and right now.

    Warning, spoilers, etc.

    "Cardinals remain baffled by His Holiness' decision"
    "No one knows why the Pope is resigning"

    This explains everything.

    Would someone PLEASE remind the writers...?

    So, new season. It has it strong points, it has its weak points, like everything in this world. I'm not going to write a lengthy review now, just let me ask something:

    Would someone PLEASE remind the writers that Rarity is supposed to be, y'know, generous?!

How 2 wriat teh best comady EVAR · 11:36pm Jun 3rd, 2012

So, you've written a fic in which Pinkie Pie dissects somepony for some obscure and OOC reason. You're a grimdark writer.
You've written a fic in which Applejack and Rainbow Dash suddenly realize they're in love and then proceed to the obligatory sloppy makeout scene. You're a romance writer.
You've written a fic in which your cleverly disguised self-insert saves Equestria from an ancient and very cool evil. You're an adventure writer.

Yet, there remains one genre, one single, cursed genre you must conquer before your name could shine amongst the immortals, such as Shakespeare, Kafka, Dostoyevsky or Lucky Roll (who is obviously best writer). That's right: comedy.

"But how?!" you yell, shaking your mighty fist against the skies in a titanic rage. "How could I write not just any comedy, but THE comedy?!"

Never fear, dear titan, your salvation draws near! For if you heed these few single steps, you'll also be able to create a literary masterwork shocking our and also all ages to come.


Okay, you ready for unparalleled wisdom?

1. Make X character eavesdropping or just accidentally hearing Y and Z characters talking.

2. Insert as many double entendres as you can come up with.

3. When X confronts Y and Z, it turns out that they were not having sex, but doing something totally innocent. Cue to laughing audience and "MOAR PLS" comments.

(4. Bonus step for EXTREME fun: after X leaves, Y and Z start having sex. Warning: so much wit could kill a grown man!)

All that's remained now is to sit back and watch as your story earns its well-deserved place on the featured list. Congratulations!

Jokes aside: no, seriously, don't do this. I can't count how many fics I've read with this exact same "plot". If it had ever been funny, it's way too overused now. Please, have mercy on the readers, and come up with something original.

Q&A

Question #1:
-You can be a snob, but at least don't be a hypocrite. I see Naked Singularity amongst your favorites.
Answer:
-If you read Naked Singularity, you'll see its humor doesn't come for having double entendres and then subverting your expectations. Most of the fun originates from the awkward situations and the hilarious scientific metaphors.

Question #2:
-You're still a hypocrite. I've read [Cancelled], and you made the exact same thing you condemned above with RD and AJ!
-Wow, I'm surprised someone knows [Cancelled] exists. So, first of all, that was one small scene, not the spine of the whole fic. But secondly, you're right. I admit [Cancelled] is not the best fic ever written. I had to rush it and I couldn't even get a proofreader for it. Read something else from me. Um... if it's okay with you, that's it...


That's all, folks! Lucky Roll, out!
