Grey Faerie


An amatuer writer who loves Pinkie Pie and Discord.

T

Pinkie is tired of feeling like the fat one among her group of friends. So, she decides to go on a diet. Sounds simple enough, except when she has to battle sugar cravings, the origin of her food addiction, and her friends.

Rated teen for references to things of a sexual nature but no actual sexytime. Also alcohol and food disorders.

She's got a tough road ahead of her, but five friends who will help her along the way.

Couple weeks at the Acres will drop those pounds quick.

hi there one of the people i asked adivce from said to contact the writers about reviews i do on their writing sorry if this is a pain or anoyace but heres a link

https://www.facebook.com/pages/Slash-wing-my-little-pony-FIM/339895572794546?ref=hl#!/pages/Slash-wing-my-little-pony-FIM/339895572794546

The story itself was a bit scetchy on spelling and gramar but that's not enough to downvote something. This however:

'I'm going on a diet. And not just that. I'm going to change. By the end of it I'll be thinner and with a proper boyfriend.'

Being overweight and wanting to lose weight to be more healthy is not a bad thing.

But wanting to lose weight to 'get thinner' and get a 'proper boyfriend' is just wrong in so many ways. This is the kind of thinking that results in beulemia, anorexia, suicide, etc. This line indicates that she thinks a 'proper' boyfriend will only be interested in her if she's thin, not caring what her personality is like. Pinkie Pie has one of the most awesome personalities in the entire show and a 'proper' boyfriend would be able to look past her slight chubbyness and be able to provide the heathy support for a diet to work and not cause phisical and or emotion issues. If you become thinner just to have a boyfriend/girlfriend, and you break up with that person, you know what happens? You base your actions on a pillar that gets pulled out and everyhting just falls in on itself and you end up back where you started but worse.

If there was even a suggestion that this story would turn out to be a deep and critical look at these issues I'd give it another chance but all I can see is an extremely negative story reinforcing unhealthy and down right dangerous mindset in young people everywhere.

As a writer one needs to be responsible for what you write. There are systems in place to make sure people know what they are reading. So far this story deserves a Dark tag more than any of the other tags. The tags currently on the story encourage younger people to read this and this is border line malicious.

ps. Sorry if this comes across as overly aggressive but part of it is shock that no one else picked up on this.

Alligator approves. The Atchafalaya Swamp can get boring without pony fanfics, sometimes.

neat cant wait for more! :pinkiehappy: :pinkiesmile: :raritystarry: :rainbowkiss: :trollestia: :moustache: :ajsmug: :coolphoto:

2916401 Tell me about it!:pinkiesick:

Friend: There's a new Pinkie Pie fic!
Me: What!? I'll be right there!

2916238
Yay oh my gosh, I'm so happy someone caught that. Yes, it will be taking a critical look at pinkie's eating habits and bring up some issues from her past. Most people don't see the little hints I put that there's more to it than 'getting healthy'.
But I disagree with you on the dark tag. It will be dealing with her struggles not to spiral into an unhealthy diet but doesn't rate a dark or sad tag. I see it as something a younger reader will understand. The battle between wanting to look like society wants and falling into a dark place.
And yeah, :facehoof: my spelling could use a little work :twilightblush:

Wow :pinkiegasp: your review was great. This is such a boost for me :pinkiehappy: Yeah, you should totally tell authors about your reviews. It helps give another opinion on the story.

I think the hardest part of writing this story is trying to mix the innocent nature of Pinkie and her own grown up thoughts. Just wanted make that note. Tell me if you think I'm doing a good job of it.

:pinkiehappy:I like the story but :flutterrage: PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE NO MORE PINK FONT ANYTHING BUT THAT PLEASE. Had to highlight to read it because it hurt to look at it. (I am exaggerating a little for comedic effect.)

"Duff," Really somepony was that mean? :pinkiesad2: Pinkie has feelings too.

Why do I have my suspicions about this Grey Faery not really being all....there.....

Ah pinkie your not a duff your a sap. Especially day flank. What I like a bubble butt like Celestia's. DAAAAMMMMMNNNNNNN!!!! Dat flank.

Pinkie needs help. She has good friends. A few weeks on AJ's farm will slim her down real fast.

So sorry about the Pink font forgot to add note about changing the background if you needed to.

Yeah, Grey Faerie can be rather strange at times. It's not that she isn't all there; it's more of where her values lie. But with the way she talks, it's a combination of age, injuries, and an accent.

No problem just being silly. :pinkiehappy:

All I got to say is...

I know I shouldn't, but the Banana thing got me thinking of it.

I like a pudgy pinkie pie no matter what she is hella adorable. Ten times more adorable than Fluttershy.

This chapter made me like Pinkie Pie's character even more.
i.e. Bouncy-normal...then.....WHAT DID YOU SAY? :flutterrage:

:rainbowderp: Ooo... Dash don't fuck with a dieting Pinkie Pie. This is always how I would picture Dash reacting to anything serious that Pinkie Pie says. It would be like that because Dash would think that she was THICK skinned. :pinkiesad2: (Don't get me wrong I sympathize with Pinkie, but that's the type of bonehead reaction you would get out of her.)

Pinkie do not go for the ice cream, you need to be strong for yourself. Beat the snot out of a rainbow colored punching bag. Oh wait that isn't healthy either. D'oh.

Pfft, jeez! I figured the mane six would react that way... :twilightoops: :rainbowderp: :fluttershyouch: :ajsleepy: :raritydespair:
Poor Pinkie. Don't worry Pinks, you're beautiful. :pinkiesad2: :pinkiecrazy:

Woops almost forgot... The title made me laugh for a few minutes actually :trollestia:

this fic is AWESOME!!!

PUDGY PINKIE IS BEST PINKIE!!!

Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! :rainbowkiss: You are too nice. :pinkiehappy:

Pinkie's friends are jerks who don't understand her.

Wow the Dark color thing is awesome, I think I am going to read all of my stories like this from now on. :pinkiehappy:

Pinkie is curvacious, you know she has a flank that won't quit jiggling like Jello.

ooooh, things are getting spiiicy :pinkiegasp:

so Discord likes the cushion then? i guess more cushion of the pushing? >:3
hes a chubby chaser! XD im laughing so hard at that lol.
you can have snacks and still be fun!

3197753
lol I always imagined Discord using Pinkie as a pillow. She's so hug-able.

And I always thought they would be a perfect match! Both like fun and being happy. This story kinda goes into how they both like sweets and food.

Also, they both want to have friends because they both grew up without any.

3200202
so true i love them as a OTP :D
but i have to say this why dont they do a cretin exercise together? one that fun and will make pinkie lose weight if done enough. not to mention Discord has been in stone for 1000 years he needs some stress release :P

>:3

Woooo! Let's party! :pinkiegasp:

i like the way you have done this story it gives the world of equestria a more adult/dark theme to it showing that it's not all sunshine and lollipops like its displayed as in the show so i give it a 8/10 so far

yay my kind of party! :D
i can only imagine Discord being hit on by one of the dancers only for the dancer to run out crying because Discord did something to him lol XD
or maybe Discord will give pinkie the lap dance :D

:applecry: Jeez I read it in about 30mins and then I have to wait for the next chapter. Oh well this story is interesting and about Pinkie, so it's worth it to wait. :pinkiehappy:.

The salty spattoon xD "how tough are ya?"
Spongebob hahaha

2917836 With the description and Discord character tag I seriously thought it was gonna be an, "accept my chubby self for what I am," kind of deali-o's.

3363304
Yeah, I think I need to change the description. It all started out in one direction then went in a totally different one. :facehoof:
Do you have any suggestions on what if should say?

Okay... I had no idea about that DUFF insult... But either way still... I feel the INCREDABLE NEED to bring this up....

"DUFFMAN!!! DOES NOT APPRECIATE YOU USING THE COMPANY NAME TO HURT PINKIE PIE!!!! OH YEAH!!!"

3363352
I don't know why but that made me super happy. :rainbowlaugh:
That's too funny. And so random! :pinkiehappy:

Piiiiiiinkieeeeee!!!!! THERE ARE CHUBBY CHASERS OUT THERE AND DISSY IS ONE OF THEM!!!!

Plus don't look at it as being fat.... Look at it as having enough fluff on the junk for the pump.

"How tough am I? How tough am I?! I broke a promise!"
"Yeah, so?"
"It was a Pinkie Promise."
"Go ahead in, sorry to keep you waiting."

I seriously couldn't resist! xD

3363466
Oh my gosh! That is so clever. Why did I never think of that? :pinkiegasp:

3363310 Not a single clue... Truthfully it's just my own interpretation as a reader... Especially with the romance tag... But still...

3365779
I think we can come up with a lot of different funny things for that question.

Drunk snotty Pinkie Pie is best Pinkie Pie
Hahaha
