RenaissanceBrony


T

Twilight had always warned Apple Bloom that she should be very careful with potions. If they aren't made just right they can lead to catastrophic consequences. The filly was never too worried about it until she learns the hard way that potions can have unexpected effects.
More specifically, she accidentally creates a carnivorous apple tree with just one goal: avenge every single apple ponykind has ever eaten.

I...
:applejackconfused:
I feel like I wrote this, except I'd make it darker...describe how the apples tear the ponies bit by bit, and how, if they were really eating, they'd leave something behind.

I can't help but feel I was the inspiration, but I don't know. The premise is so close to my story that I almost could call you out on it, but I won't. Mine even has the same title except Peaches.
I can't link it here because -EDIT: I dont know why I confused this with another of mine, but it's definitely NOT dark and vorey. thats the Twilight Snack story. Anyways...yeah, mine was comedy/random, and I might've confused the fics, but I have a story similar. it's in my stories list.

You did good, though, at trying to put dark where it shouldn't belong, and it works, kinda?:trixieshiftright: I still feel ripped off a little though. :unsuresweetie:

Dude, I seriously doubt you're the only person in the whole world who's ever seen Attack of the Killer Tomatoes and thought it would be amusing to steal adapt the idea to some other killer fruit or vegetable.

Wait what?
I've not heard of this tomato thing.
:applejackunsure:
I was talkin about how I wrote a peachfic with like, the same title a few months ago, and it had a similar premise.
I'm not upset:twilightsheepish:
Just a silly coincidence, had to mention.
the title thing really is what got me

*sigh* I swear, this younger generation, growing up completely ignorant of the classics... :derpytongue2:

Attack of the Killer Tomatoes

4015794 Oh wow...

Well don't I just look like a big ol' copycat. :twilightoops:

4015402 Oh, sorry, I didn't see yours. I searched the site for any titles that had "Attack" and "Apples" in them. I didn't think to search for other fruits too.

Sorry! :fluttershyouch:

4015395 Well in this case he's right.

I'd never even heard of that movie, but apparently I basically copied it anyway.

4015263 I'm a little confused. :rainbowderp:

Oh well, I'll just respond to the parts I understand. :rainbowlaugh:

I probably would have made it darker, except it was for the EqD Writer's Training Ground and one of the rules is no objectionable content, so that means no gore. :pinkiesick:

I had no idea you already had a story that was basically the same thing, and I'm sorry I didn't look more carefully.

I took a look through your stories list and yup, there it is. :twilightblush: My bad!

But I think I'll be reading a bunch of your stories over the next few days, since they look interesting. So at least it's not all bad for you! :twilightsmile:

Sorry for ripping you off. And I'm glad you liked my version okay.

4016200 its all good my friend, i didn't mean any confusion. as for idea ripping? Hell, I'm not mad. i got a laugh out of it, and that's what counts. i was just, yknow, surprised at the closeness of the title. but keep it as it is, its completely fine. sorry for any confusion.

Ha! Don't worry too much about it -- one thing you'll quickly discover as a writer is that at the end of the day, there are very few (if any) truly unique ideas. No matter what you come up with, someone, somewhere in the world, has thought of something similar at some point. What matters is how you pull it off. :twilightsmile:

4016660 That's a really good point.

Thanks for the encouragement! :twilightsmile:

So, you're telling me it's THAT easy to get a free scooter?
