This is a great story for just before the series started. You've got the characters down well.
DEEEEEEEEERP
Nice. :D
You should really put these all in chapter format...
Smell I the scent of a secret ship's scintillating substance?
Something strange sussurates...
Well-written, though.
Cute, but were they really all close friends beforehand. I mean, Dash avoided Pinkie until she learned Pinkie also liked pranks.
Very sweet.
I like your balanced portrayal of Applejack. She stays sensible and practical, but she's patient with Pinkie and kind enough to humor her. You've got a real knack for showcasing complex characterizations in very short spaces.

I try.
This was actually me trying to write for the first time again after not doing so for about two years. Sometimes I'm pleasantly surprised it holds up as well as it does.
Aaaaand other times I cringe.
EPIC SHIPPING-FUEL IS EPIC..

Clearly, to warrant such a commanding font size!
3316882 How does it feel after seeing the most recent episode?
3779779 You mean the cacophony of LIES?!?!?!
I don't care how much Hasbro hints at it--Pinkie and Applejack CAN'T be related! I mean... They just... No.
3780201
I am laughing so hard right now.
(Mind you, even if they ended up being related, it'd be so far apart that shipping's still harmless. :D)
3780205
If you knew how much I told myself that when I finished the episode, you'd be crying with me.
*Hangs head and stands over a crumbling cliff*
Gahh so sweet, cute, and in perfct character!!!!
So my question is, what's the idea behind this here project? :O
7963831
Seven years ago MLP inspired me to start writing fanfic again after being burnt out of the game for ~5ish years.
The aim of the Project, back in 2010, was to make more pony because it wasn't coming out fast enough while also (hopefully) capturing the show's innocent heartwarming potential (again, Season 1 days ^^;). The end product... is honestly just a buncha slice of life stuff... and quite frankly, very "early work".
These days P3 is either crushingly obsolete, or refreshingly nostalgic, in the face of of what the show has become. I've heard both. YMMV?

This one, at least, is more nostalgic with just a dash of obsolescence. :) (The bit about Pinkie having a tab at Sugarcube Corner struck me as odd.)
7964045
:D I completely forgot about that. P3 #1 was ~Christmas 2010, so...
Now that you mention it, I'm pretty sure I long ago headcannnoned that Pinkie started living and working there just to cut out the middlemare, as it were.
And to clear off a million-bit tab. THE DEBT SHALL LAST FOREVER
I just pictured Pinkie with a HUGE freaking grin and vibrating like crazy. Kinda like she did in "Rock Solid Friendship" before Maud tells her and Starlight about her accidental dooming of cutie marks. XD
Just wanted to see how you started things off here.

I claim zero liability for any damages incurred by you going back this far in time.

What are you talking about? I feel just fine.
You can has review!
This was a cute little read.
Loved the way you put that.
You did a really good job with both Pinkie and Applejack's characterization - they felt very natural here. This was fun. Thanks for sharing!
I keep saying I should go back and reread your entire catalogue, and here I am.
it's 4 in the morning what am I doing reading fanfic
Let's see how long I can trawl the archives and come up with meaningfully different pieces of mind before I start rephrasing the same sentiments over and over.
---
Fimfic's timestamp reads late 2011, but I was there not too long after when these were originally going up, this one on *checks* December 18th, 2010, in the prehistoric days when the show was only a couple months old and everyone was raving about Gilda and Trixie and The Stare and writing woobie Luna fic, but before Winter Wrap Up and Sonic Rainboom sent the whole thing nuclear.
And there you were, writing things like this that pretty much felt like cut scenes from the show. That never was something I saw a whole lot of over the years; it takes a specific combination of tone and brevity to feel properly show accurate, and while adventure epics are exactly the sort of transformative work fanfiction exists as a concept to enable, there's something nice about getting what amounts to a peek behind the curtain, too. If the dialogue isn't spot on, the characterizations are, which is especially nice in hindsight for Pinkie, whose inner warmth is something the show itself never kept a firm grasp on.
But being accurate was the whole point of the PPP, so :applause:
And then there's this, which is where it takes a turn from "feels like the show" to "Bookish as all hell". Some of the turns of phrase in this story don't feel like something you'd write anymore and some of them still do, but I'm glad to see these heart-to-heart moments were around
making people wonder if it was shippingfrom literally day one.
