The Grey Pegasus


Pony stuff author since 2012. Writes supposedly good stuff. Still haven't made a break. Still persistent. Probably highly unlucky. Or hated by the universe. Either determined or insane. Or both.

"Wait, do the... what do you mean—wait—where—is this—no... no! This is the description! You're actually serious?! Uh, describe the story, describe the story. Hey! Isn't this your job?!"

<No. Not anymore. First person narration, right?>

"Ugh! I'm such a lazy ass! The description?! You're making me do the description?! I don't believe—"

<Stop. You're wasting space right now. So think or say something constructive. You know the—>

So! Apparently, I've been yanked from Earth by some cosmic... entity... thing... that's supposedly a great threat. In the middle of getting dimensionally yanked from my home, the universe... or something... was able to step in and knock me somewhere else, instead of being consumed. That somewhere else happens to be Equestria.

Then it turns out that that's just a giant excuse plot for me to send myself into Equestria! Because God, or Celestia considering the circumstances, knows how long I've procrast—

If, for some reason, you can't read the A/N:

I was actually serious about not writing a definite storyline. It's all just

Whoa! Hey, the A/N box!

a bunch of random scraps of ideas

—That's being woven into the now-developing storyline. Because now with an actual story, I can actually get somewhere.

Stardust, will you get out of the A/N?! Wait, you can even get into the author's note?

No. And apparently yes. In fact, I'm even going to call you out for procrastinating at least a year on this. Come on man.

I thought you were unconscious.

It turns out the A/N is separate from the story! Anyways, that .gif as the cover pic is a really cheeky move.

I'm trying to screw with the conventions. I'd imagine that's what a fourth-wall breaking cover pic would be like. Just to make it even more crazy. Crazy equals noticeable.

True. Still. That's... almost like cheating.

I do it out of spite.

Also feels a bit forced. Nonetheless, I'd judge your execution of the idea at 7.5/10.

You're the narrator!

You're the one typing! And doing all the other stuff!

Oh come on! Also, Dusty, this much interaction can not become a normal thing.

It'll probably end up getting more serious later. Anyways, how you guys liking the story so far? Comment interesting things!

I know, I've gone and done something completely stupid.

Anyways, I could have tried staying respectable, but no, I had to go ask a mod to do something different.

Ah... Meta fiction... Good job sir...

Luckily I enjoy good random stories...

It's not exactly meta. It's just... over the top insanity (at least, that's what I think).

I mean, it got passed, sooo....

3862470 ok... What ever its called .... Random done well with intent to not being serious is a good short story in my eyes...

3862497 not like that... I mean you are having fun doing this... Which is good

That cover pic is awesome, I didn't know you could use animated gifs for that.

3862764
It's actually in the description area- Meeester let it pass. Normally, it's against the rules, but I explained to him some slight details, and he let it go. GIFs don't animate as a cover pic.

I'm sorry, mate. This is too meta for me. :twilightsheepish: Leaving a like either way. Have joy with this. :rainbowwild:

EDIT: Lol. Random mood swing. Faving. I hadn't read it to the end. :rainbowwild: Plant rape is best rape.

Waaaat animated cover art

The mods don't allow stories about FIMFiction or its users. This is another kind of meta.

If I may? I hope you get to some sort of plot soon. Otherwise there isn't much reason to read or write this.

Cheated with the cover art. Not actually 'cover art'. And Meeester himself approved this so...

Yeah, this 'does' have an actual sort-of plot. I should be slipping into S4's events in a few chapters, mixing between various levels of involvement or non-interference. Whatever makes sense to do for the situation.

Besides, I've been here two years, and I still haven't done the obligatory self-insert.

Sort of surprised you didn't catch this part:

"... Ahhhh..." I groaned on the ground. That really hurt. "Well... this definitely isn't a dream." It hurt so much, the only thing I could do to occupy myself while I tried to get up was wonder whether I should've capitalized that last bit or not.

(It was inspired by Altoid.)

Even with my own casual murderwriting, dang that came out of left field.

Even after the blog post 2 months ago? Granted, two months ago, but still.

Still gotta catch up with A Dream, by the way. Six chapters maybe.

This was funny! I'm recommending this thing to all my followers. Brb.

Also, I enjoyed the bits of Headcannon thrown in now and then.

Thoughts as I read:

No answer. I didn't know what I was expecting. "... Well, an explanation on why I'm here would be convenient." And convenience revealed itself, in the form of a small glowing crystal on the ground.

He takes this very well. I would like to see a little bit of panic showed by the character. He’s not human anymore; he doesn’t know when he will be again; his family, job, and friends won’t know what’s become of him; and he’s in no position to know where his next meal or source of fresh water will come from. Alternatively, I’d like to see him hissing in an excited ‘squee.’ Or numb shock. An emotional rise of some kind.

It doesn’t have to be too much of an overhaul, just add a sentence in like ‘A sinking sensation in the pit of my stomach. Shallow breaths followed suit. I’ve never not been human before.’

"Person is consumed. They end up in a different dimension," I said, guessing what it meant.

I’d like a sentence or two where the character is searching his memory for anything that matches the description of an energy that attempted to phase him out. Or a bit of narration stating that the character was in no mind to refuse an explanation, so he accepted whatever the rock had to give him.

Hopefully, after a while, the human that remained in me would get used to this.

I’d be excited to see a progression in the character’s arc where he keeps suppressing his human side with more and more ease until eventually it bites him in the ass. Such as, no longer being able to anticipate a predator’s MO ‘ shit, that was a mistake! I used to be human, I used to be a predator! I should know that running makes predators want me more. What is wrong with me?!’, or losing the ability to read a bipedal creature’s body language.

"... No. Can't be. NARRATION?! NO! NO!" I screamed in frustration at this small spot that looked like bits of everything I was saying and thinking. "

Good and humorous twist, but I’d like to have this be foreshadowed much sooner in the story. Maybe something like ‘This rock was proving to be my most trusted friend. My thoughts on the matter echoed strongly down the castle walls,’ or ‘something about this world left nothing to question, as if everything was said and done’

Overall experience: I'm fine with the concept, but I thought the characterization could have been handled with more emotion on both the Pegasus' part and the Narrator's part. I would have also liked to see the pegasus version of the character try to skirt around the narrator's powers a little bit more.

I believe that's the entire point of Chapter 2.

4331567 Sorry, I was linked here from Iron Galley yesterday and I only gave the first chapter a read-through at the time.

Ah, my good buddy IG. Well, input is always welcome. That might be my first comment of actual criticsm ever.

4334300 I am sorry about my criticism. In all the reviews I've ever written, I always come off sounding bitchy, even though that's not my intention and I know how discouraging I am. For what it's worth, from what I read of your chapter, I liked it.

4334326
Actually, no, having criticism is exciting for me. Even if it was a bit short, it was the first actual criticism on one of my stories that I remember.

4386806
But it's IG, so it makes sense.

Also, you're aware that this is the same Stardust that goes onto to all of the random RPs and stuff, right?

4386818
Uh... yeah. What chapter are you on?

Besides, you're the one that replied to that blog post way back when.

4386836
4386844 I meant to say: Holy shit. Stardust Killed AJ.

I didn't know it was canon. The implications are simply too many. I'm on the newest one, chapter.

4386844 Is your profile pic holding a pony capable m14?! :pinkiegasp: *mind blown* :derpytongue2:

Wait a tick... Another Displaced Human Dilemma.....ADHD? ... HAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAH!!!:rainbowlaugh: *Long inhale* HHhhhhh hah! :pinkiecrazy: *Falls over and attempts to re-inflate lungs with a bike pump* KAHhhhhhhh....heh, that was kinda funny :eeyup:

4334416 Hello again, its me, the crazy one that likes adhd, I'm actually being super cereal right now though... Anyway, I'm not going to continue reading this story past the point of Applejack's death. The reason I read these stories is because they are usually light hearted in nature and very rarely carry the realism of random pointless death that happen so often in the real world... it also may or may not be because AJ is best pony and someone else may or may not be hunting you down to tie you to a bed and feed you cupcakes until you explod... (Yes I am trying to make it light hearted....maybe the exploding was a bit much *Left arrow keys back to "Explode" then removes the E* Hah now its okay *thumbs up with ding sound effect*) But psychopathic tendencies aside as well as the death of..*eye twitch* That! main character, I do find the writing very interesting. The way the main character is self aware is very amusing as well, and I applaud you for trying something new, its just my personal preference that makes me dislike this story, I'm not into grimdark. So all that being said, with one breath of air, I am not going to award this story a like or a dislike.
If the protagonist was less of a Dickwaffle to ... SOMEPONY IMPORTANT :ajbemused: I would definitely give this story a thumbs up.

4698879
You really should read the next chapter. That's where the fic really characterizes itself and the story really starts making sense.

First time I've ever seen a gif as a cover photo. Thats cool, still wont read it tho

5702560
I was honestly worried enough about it that I asked Meeester first. I was pleasantly surprised when he allowed it.

6791093
I sure hope so.

Wouldn't mind taking a stroll through Season 4 again. I'll see what I can do. It's been itching in the back of my head that I never continued this anyways... with a half-written chapter for S4E2/3.

Additional A/N:

Yes, it's Season 4. Yes, I know S6 comes out in a few weeks. And I will try to get through S4 and S5 with reasonable speed while also writing some other stuff on the side. And you know, doing life.

Seriously, time flies. Watches don't help.

Oh yeah, and I'm back, I guess.

Yeah, that's one way to fix the time problem. Good to see you again.

7020404
Thanks.

Maybe watching Deadpool helped kick things back into motion. (... Nah, but it was a lotta fun anyways.)

Yeah! My username is relevant to this thread.

great to see an other chapter so soon, looking forward to see an other chapter so soon.

Today is just full of April Fools jokes on FimFiction:rainbowlaugh: and there are plenty of those type of chapter as well.

If the main character was voiced, what would he sound like?

7086184
Like me. But I guess that doesn't help.

Character design? Maybe I should say something about General Zoi in relation to Valiant.

... Have you never mentioned anything about it?
