    (WORK IN PROGRESS)

    As one of Equestria's more popular writers, you relish the chance to get away and work on your newest romance novel and some side projects, when you meet a particular yellow pegasus who happens to be a fan of your work and oddly enough, you're a fan of hers as well... She just wishes you weren't, because "It's so embarrassing..."

    And here it is, the last in my "Mane 6" stories, By a Fireplace! This story, like all the others, takes place during all the others and has its own little niche in the timeline. I've had a lot of questions about the continuity of my stories, but please bare with me. I've got a plan, a timeline, and graphs.

    Anyway, about the story itself... Hmm... Well, nothing really special or no warning I should post... This should be a pretty tame story, but if there's a development even I didn't expect, I'll make sure to put it here.

    Well, enjoy!

    Why am I sensing a feeling of animosity radiating from you Creeper? Almost like this is like a like a giant middle finger to some annoying fans. I'm sorry if we got on your bad side.That main character...wow if anyone needs some clover and or some Ambien, it's that guy. I still look forward to more.

    :derpyderp2:

    wat? This is far from a giant middle finger... Hell, if I was mad at anyone, I would make it apparent, not voice it through a story. The main character in this is more abrasive right now but SPOILER ALERT was actually more kind and plucky before he got roped into the more dry, business side of the writing bizz. You'll see what I mean later... And what makes you think I'm mad at anyone? :fluttercry: I love all you guys!

    He's a writer that writes a lot of romance stories and is constantly being hounded by his supporter and fans. Maybe I assumed too much and looked for subliminal undertones when there weren't any. Sometimes people will throw bit and pieces of themselves into characters. To assume is to make an 'ass' out 'u' and 'me.' oops. :twilightsheepish:

    I can't ever see a valid reason ever to have one of those disgusting words.

    There really is no justification and it takes away innocence that could've been a good characteristic of the story. Lotsa authors fall into this trap, using words only meant for mature audiences when they could also tailor it for everypony. This is the reason I still like disney cartoons, as does others, such as parents and their impressionable, fragile youth.

    Please don't interpert this as hating on the story. I really do see potential in the story, and wasted potential in any way, shape or form is a terrible waste of talent, which, my good sir, you quite frankly have a lot of. :moustache:

    Or you could just ponify the cusses. Just my two bits.

    Seriously dude, don't worry about it. You guys are awesome, I could never be mad at my fans. But you are right, you might find some undertones of my personality or bits and pieces of myself in a character every now and again. But not in this case.

    >>352330

    Well, I've noticed as my stories have progressed, they've become more mature. But I'll explain to you why I used angry words exactly... The "You" in this story is rather stressed, angry, and getting more abrasive as he is getting pulled into the more lifeless business side of his passion. Of course he's angry and when you've got someone like Trump Card calling him at all hours of the day, he was bound to lose his temper. Once again, sorry if I offended, but this is how I feel he'd act given the situation. But just watch, you'll see his character develop a lot.

    I understand your motive, but I still don't think it's really nessesary, given cleaner alternatives.

    Besides, the seriousness of the situation could be undermined if you used phunny phrases.

    Funny + Seriousness + Good Story Development + Good Character Development + ????= profit.

    Just a suggestion, though. :rainbowkiss:

    "The whole point of swearing is that it ain't appropriate!"

    - Kaywinnit Lee Frye.

    They're supposed to be harsh, rude and angry - "Oh gosh golly darn" doesn't put across the same emotional message as "Oh, for f*ck's sake!" because the former would make the character look like he was dancing around and trying not to offend Trump Card. In my opinion, dancing around the cursing would have made the character look weak, and happy to bend over for his awful agent. Honestly, I don't think Trump Card given his apparent behaviour so far would have given our hero what he wants if he'd skimped out.

    Fics within a fic insert Obligatory Inception joke (Here)

    I  was expecting Smokey to pop in while the writer was flirting with Twilight, but then I remembered this obviously takes place a little bit before that fic. Health nut, but most health nuts and hippies do toke up. Also it kinda makes sense that Fluttershy would write stuff like that...it's always the quite ones.

    One little complaint are the scenes with the cigarettes. There's not really a mention of any sort of taste or smell to the smoke or the feeling of nicotine hitting the body.

    I'm not a smoker so I wouldn't know exactly what it is, but I've just not seen it done in any fic I've read where there are tobacco products used.

    Loving this story bro. This story takes a unique look at the MLP world, as It was written by a writer, about a pony, who just happens to be a writer. Excelent work, and I look forward to the next chapter. Do us all a favour though: Don't rush the next chapter. This story shines of a great amount of time and effort, and I would hate to see my favourite FIM romance go to waste because of "viewer's impatience".

    >>1005947

    Holy cow now that I loom back on it you are probably right, though I had this idea in the form of a fleeting though as I read the story.

    Overall rating: 90 percent awesomeness meter+ 20 percent cooler "premium add-on"= 110 percent pure EPIC
