I'm kinda curious. · 1:33am Feb 7th, 2015
Since you guys presumably follow me for my charming personality, winning smile and goatee, my stories, I was wondering, what are your favorite moments in any given fic I've written? And if you want to share why, please do so!
I think this will give me some insight into what I'm being effective in communicating per story, so don't be shy!
Also! Anyone here willing to do a possible alternative cover art/or concept art for Gothic in exchange for some story goodies? You can PM me and I'll let you know what I have in mind, so we can decide if it's worth your time or not, sound fair?
I can't help you with the coverart, but I think my favorite moment(s) were with Sweetie Belle and Blueblood in Twilight's puzzle in Sweetie Chronicles
Of your works I have read so far, Sweetie Belle and Tavi playing the cello duet at the Gala was my favorite scene.
Pimp Spike can't choose which changeling to date.
Also Online Chatroom Hivemind mess with Purity and Rarity!
Awesome jazz btw.
The three sisters extended family. Chapter 10. The Hidden Tale interactions.
For Gothic, I've enjoyed the slow set-up and the stressing you're doing to Octavia. You've kept her invested in this problem, and thus kept myself as well.
When I was reading The Sweetie Chronicles, I actually liked the various ways in which you had Sweetie Belle growing throughout the various universes. I especially liked the chapter "Pink Eyes" for this reason.
For "Helicopter-Tank-Castle-of-Scootaloo," I liked everything about it, to be honest.
And throughout all of your stories, I would say your descriptions are your strongest skill. But that would just be me.
Definitely the way you do so good at incorporating a highly intricate plot with your detail on Changeling theories. The meshing is quite impressive, and overall some of the most involved Changeling writing I've seen yet. Keep it up!
The April Fools D&D ending of TER. Which, incidently, you could have called The Secret Room for an extra layer of meta humor.
Your theories regarding Changelings did pique my interest because I've always wondered what spin other writers add to these creatures.
The On a Cross and Arrow chapter of The Sweetie Chronicles where there was a scene near-identical, except gender-flipped, to one in the chapter of On a Whisper of Wind that came out the same day. On a Cross and Arrow isn't my favorite fic, but it was the first good one I ever read.
TSC TBNE.
I haven't waded through your complete collection of work yet, but so far my favorite moment has to be Sweetie chomping down on Fruit Bats. Something about it just tickled me right.
Also, Hidden Tale is awesome. I get this weird vibe-mix of James Bond's subtle era and Inferno from Beast Wars.
I'd have to say Twilight growing up with the Moon as her best friend in The Moon's Twilight. So many different layers going on there.
quick, list every time he's killed a character to get that memorably awkward/funny reaction! wait why are you typing this hands? noooo, your betrayal has betrayed me!
in all seriousness, I honestly can't pick one. nothing stands out as that much stronger, though I DO love the reaction that Sweetie had when she found Blueblood still in the loops.
I can't remember... been working too hard on my game.
I have 2 major moments and a series a of moments that are truely memorable....
first major moment was TER, when you killed off trixie in like the first or second chapter..it seemed so random...so odd, that it made me read the rest of the story nonstop just to find resolution (which I did find in the only instance of trixieXmac i will ever accept)
second major moment was also in TER, and it was lyra...I explained the why in your blog about character deaths
the series of moments are from TSC:TBNE.... every blueblood interation with sweetie made me hate blueblood a little less until I actually started actively seeking other blueblood redemption stories
I've never read anything that you've written.
I just like you because you're not an asshole.
The sweet moments between Sweetie Belle from Chronicles and Blueblood from best night ever rank as my favorite chapters. Can't wait for the next release. Rock on!
I like the part with Sweetie Belle
How about the entirety of TER? ...ok, I guess just the fight where Twilight and co. turned Nightmare Sun back into Princess Celestia.
“I have a katana.”
My obvious favourites amongst your fics are Empty Room and Sweetie Chronicles, but I'd be hard-perssed to find an actual specific best moment.
...Maaaaaaaaaaybe the Best Night Ever chapters? I dunno.
I love the premise of TSC as a whole. TBNE was definitely my favorite arc, and you are excellent with your emotional scenes. I'm pretty sure I ranted a little at the end of that arc, that ending was so poignant. Sweetie's and Blueblood's character chemistry was absolutely sublime and thoroughly amusing. My next favorite arc was Backwards through the Mirror. I loved how you thoroughly explored each environment. You have no idea how stoked I am for the next chapter, and for Sweetie's reunion with her brother.
(Note: please don't feel like I'm rushing you; good stories take time )
The ending of the best night ever arc in TSC, when she sings Alegria. It was simply marvelous
Open up any part of HIE Experiment close your eyes and point to a spot.
TSC - TBNE, the parts where Sweetie wows non-loopers with whatever skills she acquired in the loop. (especially the part where she wows Rarity with speaking in Germane)
My favorite moment is probbably when I started reading The Sweetie chronicles and realised that it was a really well made story and I wanted to read more.
Maybe I can help you with the art for gothic, depends on what you have in mind.
For me it was without a doubt the ending scene in the Best Night Ever arc of TSC. A very very touching scene.
What if: Rarity from The Three Sisters met with Chrysalis: The actual reunion part is probably the best part I've read of yours (baring its prequel but its the same point really) it has just enough sadness and joy to be subtle and bittersweet. While I'm not one for your comedy side you do seem to have a good knack for tragic yet heartwarming elements in your stories.
Pretty much anything from The Sweetie Chronicles is great and that's why TSC is ranked third on my best fics ever list amongst the elite stories. I have several favourite moments in TSC but I am to tired to remember all of them right now but the one that pops up in my head just now is when Sweetie Belle is turned into an adult and spends the day with Prince Blueblood at that bar.
ps. Oh and also I just remembered that I thought that you had written all of the backwards trough the mirror chapters exextremely well. Sweeties emprissonment in the Theatre of Sorrows is one of my other favourite episodes.
When Darth Vader was Luke's father
For some reason, the fic that comes to mind is A New World. Hell if I know why, though; I haven't looked at the thing for two or three years. Guess it's time to reread it.
Okay, okay, I'll give a real answer, now that I've actually read some of your fics recently. I absolutely adored the Backwards Through the Mirror arc of TSC. That hit all my buttons, so to speak.
