Hey, so, Flutterspy! · 12:27am Oct 21st, 2014
Guess what story I just finished after more than two years of writer's block?
No, not Prince of Ponyville. Probably never Prince of Ponyville.
Nope, it's a story that I feel holds up a lot better, and really deserved an ending: "Flutterspy!"
After rewatching all of the Sirens' songs from Rainbow Rocks an embarrassing number of times, I really felt compelled to write something. Since I decided that I couldn't write a proper story about the Sirens without also putting together a band to write and play their songs (music is sort of integral to their awesomeness), I took a look at my old notes for the final chapter of "Flutterspy" and decided I'd start writing and see how things shook out.
Not terrible, in my opinion. I'm going to give it a thorough proofreading and maybe rewrite one or two bits before I email EQD and tell 'em they can finally mark this thing complete.
This wasn't the announcement I'll be making in a few days, by the way. It was just a thing that resulted from too much glorious evil-chick rock. And apparently I'm not alone in thinking the Sirens were amazing, seeing as how their songs are topping the "Best Rainbow Rocks Song" poll at EQD by a wide margin. (Don't know how Trixie's song is in fourth, though. "Rainbow Rock" is pretty damned fantastic, too, and easily the best non-Siren tune. I blame Sethisto.)
So, yeah, see you in a few with some news. In the meantime, given that it's been two years since the first two chapters, I'd recommend goin' back and rereading all of "Flutterspy" if you're inclined to give it a shot. That way, you can see how much better I was back then, and then mourn my eventual loss of quality. I'm basically The Simpsons.
Looking forward to (re)reading that tonight!
Well, see, you wouldn't understand. She's a six-course meal, and you're just burnt toast.
"Shine Like Rainbows," though.
Trixie's song is good, though. I'm not sure why they only put two lines of it in the movie.

Actually, if you pay very close attention, you can hear nearly an entire verse while she's performing in the finals.

Huh, hadn't heard "Shine Like Rainbows." I saw the Hub presentation, not the theater release--was this the end credits song that got cut from the TV version?
It's definitely good, but c'mon, that "Rainbow Rocks" riff. So good.

Ditto for this one! It's definitely very Trixie, I can dig it. And it's never going to not amuse me that Cloud Kicker is one of her bandmates. I wonder if Chengar Qordath's going to do anything with that.
Still...

Yes it was. There was actually a fair bit missing from the tv version. Made me pretty sad

Well, I'm definitely picking up a full copy when it releases. I can't get over how much I dug it.

Sunset Shimmer is the greatest.

Oh, you're a fan? Couldn't tell
Ohhhhhhhhh... I've been waiting for this.

It's difficult, I know
