//------------------------------// // Author's Note // Story: Twilight Sparkle and the Alicorn's Stone // by Avenging-Hobbits //------------------------------// I would like to thank my older brother Bronyman1995 for his help and letting me upload this. I would also like to thank any commenter’s who pointed out problems I had to fix. I did my best. Sorry for the ending. Kind of rushed it. I must admit that Closer-to-the-Sun’s Spike/Sweetie Belle/Rarity fanfic Plush and Portmeirion’s FlutterMac fanfic Hope helped with the romance between Amanda and Wilfred. So if there’s any similarities to both stories I apologize and thank the original authors. I will get my own account on FiMFiction.net eventually but before I go I would like to list the top ten mistakes or missed opportunities in my story: 10: The interaction between the ponies and the humans A commenter named tnuyum pointed out that in my story, the humans don’t interact very well with the characters. What he meant was that they’re not particularly shocked to see talking ponies in front of them. I’ve tried to put more fear of ponies into the story. Also, has anyone ever noticed that if Harry Potter were in the real world, wizards would have their own apartheid and wouldn’t it have been cool if Tom Riddle were not a bald-nose less 50 year old Edward from Twilight named Voldemort but a human (think that crazy guy from District 9). I just thought it was worth noting. 9: The disappearance of characters Something so far no one has noticed is that characters like Dinky Hooves and Garble appear only to disappear and never show up again. Sorry. 8: The switching from Earth to Canterlot This is I think something I was incredibly worried about when posting my story. I think I cut to Canterlot only five times. This is probably because as the story progressed, I ran out of material for Canterlot and to be honest I sort of rushed my story. 7: The Ending Originally, Trixie was going to die but then I realized that Spike is evil…Rarity, at least to the show, knows that Spike likes her and she likes him. Possible conflict? So, I decided to change the ending and have a conflict with Rarity and Spike when she discovers the dragon she loves has turned against her and her friends. Also, Linkara’s opinion of shock deaths avoided me from putting any. Just classic good vs. evil. 6: Discord being a murderous psychopath Maybe I made him too evil. 5: Breaking Zecora’s rhyme Another thing tnuyum pointed out. I meant for it to be a joke and also I suck at rhyming. 4: The constant cutting I think I cut to too many locations in one chapter. 3: The violence I wanted to have actual violence in my story and though the goth chick (who for you wondering was it’s a parody Kristen Stewart) felt needed, I think I made it too graphic. 2: The romance aspect I really wish I could have done this better. My brother, Bronyman1995, kept insisting that “They’re both weird and quirky. They like each other for that. That’s it.” Um, no dude. While that it true and it shows, I wanted to firmly establish that they’ve been friends for a while and personally feel that I didn’t. 1: I didn’t do the other Harry Potter films This is admittly something I was afraid of. Not only because my sister put a “don’t look Harry Potter up” rule, though a friend of mine who is a Harry Potter fan did help, but because I always felt I was squeezing too much into one thing. I was thinking of this fanfic as if it were a movie plot or script and that be really good or really bad. So far no one hates my story but they’ve pointed out things I never noticed, like the characters acting out of character at times. I always wanted to do a parody of all 7 movies (I feel that Chamber of Secrets is the weakest just from it’s premise). If it required doing seven books (or eight) then so be it. Here’s their plots. Twilight Sparkle and the Alicorn’s Stone: Twilight Sparkle and her two human friends Wilfred and Kyle are offered to partake in Faust Academy. Twilight Sparkle and the Prisoner of Carcere: The Mane 6 are asked to escort a prisoner to Carcere Prison. When the prisoner escapes, they pursue him whilst Wilfred meets an old friend. Twilight Sparkle and the Flower of Fire: When Amanda falls ill with a strange illness, Wilfred, Kyle, The Mane 6 and Spike rush to save her whilst Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy are asked to represent Faust Academy in the dangerous 26th magical-animals Olympics. Twilight Sparkle and Order of the Falcon: While warnings of Nightmare Moon’s return go unheeded, Celestia and Twilight Sparkle try to stop a deranged new teacher from taking over Faust Academy. Twilight Sparkle and the Half-Blood Princess: Applejack discovers a book labeled “this book is property of the Half-Blood Princess” and her and her friends discover more about Nightmare Moon’s past. Twilight Sparkle and the Friendly Hallows Part 1: As Twilight and her friends race against to defeat the evil Nightmare Moon, she discovers the Friendly Hallows. Twilight Sparkle and the Friendly Hallows Part 2: Twilight Sparkle and her friends reunite at Faust Academy to defeat Nightmare Moon. And that’s it. I hope you found it enjoyable. This is Nat4, signing off.
