Why did this scene spring to mind while I was reading this?
Three Draconequi, a lunar pegasus, a bebe unicorn and a bebe earth pony climb onto a toboggan = successful chapter.
Holy shit no typo comment
5943205
My sides hurt. There may be typos... but I cannot be made to care at the moment.
5943214
That's why I'm here.
were
Your
too
>chapter 632
Do you know the definition of the word 'stop'?
5943236
And what are you implying?
I don't know what I've been missing out on. How close are you to half way in this story?
5943255
I have no idea.
Eventually the toboggan landed in Luna's bed with her still in it.
5943214
It's good to be able to write something you enjoy that much.
5943260 Okie dokie loki.
Seems like Piña had fun last night.
As for the toboggan, if Bucky is Calvin and Discord is Hobbes, what does that make everypony else?
Also, I wonder if any other members of the Mane Six will achieve immortality.
My thinks Fluttershy's draconequus nature is having an effect on her moods. Before she would have been just terrified. Now its terror mixed with manic glee.
5943276
Luna: *After Waking up cuddling the Toboggan* ...This is the last time I have a drinking contest with Bucky
Well, he's right about the family motto.
Hopefully the thing comes down in Fancy on top of a bunch of mirror travelers.
Damn those typos. They made the toboggan go super fast and far.
the trees were fleeing in mortal terror...
5943037
is ok we all have something we are not good at....... I hate writing but if i put my mind to it i am actually rather good :/
5943242 What do you think?
over 600 chapters, and you don't even know if you're halfway done. 5943260
Normally, when a story is this long, I'd make fun of it by comparing it to BlackRoseRaven's stories, but at least her stories have some semblance of plot
This isn't a coherent story anymore, things just happen.
There isn't any flow. Chapter 630 was about chaos magic being applied to Fever Cure, changing the way he looks, and then the short conversation about Project Shadowsprite, and Twilight Sparkle wanting to kill all of the mirror travelers because she saw them carry Bucky away that one time, which is a petty reason for murder. Naturally, you'd think the next chapter would be about trying to create the Shadowsprites, but no, it's a party with his wives and them wanting Bucky to be safe, I guess?
Okay, so maybe the next chapter will be about that. Wrong again, it's about Bon Bon waking up, seeing bows in Sakurai's hair, and Bucky and his friends/wives/children/what the fuck even going on a toboggan ride and then they crash.
What does anything have to do with anything anymore?
Oh, this was awsome. Thank you.
*too
5943201
Three? You are counting Bucky? I thought he was only partially since he only has one odd leg and stuff.
5943516
It is like Doctor Who, new things come up that are brand new to the story and it doesn't seem to have a near end....... it is an awesome story in my opinion!
5943606 Doctor Who is a T.V. show. The type of formula that a T.V show uses to tell it's story greatly differs from the way a piece of literature tells it's story. Things that happen in it all have something to do with the overarching plot of the particular season.
If there's an episode that didn't advance the plot, or didn't explain anything, it would be generally poorly received.
If there's a chapter in this story that does the same thing, everybody praises it.
5943638
the thing about that is that those chapters give us either a look into the life of the ponies of the story or it gives us important plot details..... no pun intended........
5943516
Kudzu likes to pad the action/drama/horror with slice of life, if he ran from one crazy event to another the story might be much to sad or heavy for his liking.
Also I believe Kudzu is part Draconoquess and must submit to the chaos demons desire to see random stuff happen.
5943516
The story flows as a normal life would. Let me use an example to explaining it:
Lets say you want to lose weight. When you decide you want to do this do you aimlessly run to the gym and start lifting dumbbells without any preparation and knowledge how you do it? Or make it to a schedule and you go, lets say on friday. On the remaining time you do other thing, like walk your kids to school, watch TV and other things which are not related with losing weight. When the time comes you will go there and do what you wanted to do. Maybe on the week you check the prices and look for a trainer which help you out, but you mainly focus on it on that day. Its how life happen you not get consumed by what you do, and do that 24/7
I hope i helped you out

If you don't like it, you can split. No one's holding you here and no amount of complaint will stop this story. You are entirely within your rights to not be subjected to the reading of this work, and to not subject it to yourself by way of evacuation.
Your whole argument really sums itself up in:
- which frankly ignores the fact that the audience is enjoying it. We are here to be entertained. And we are! If you aren't, that's really due to your tastes not being in line with the work or you'd be enjoying yourself but might have some concerns or suggestions - like the rest of us, who ride Kudzu's back like a pack of angry monkeys, telling him what we want to see and pointing out things we don't like. This is essentially a community inside of a community, and we're having fun. That's all that matters - anything else is absolutely irrelevant except to people who are creating issues where none exist.
Also, using your example, it would be poorly received because nay-sayers are very loud and somewhat obnoxious, and present themselves as officially as possible so people listen to them when they decry something they personally didn't like. The majority, then, are pleased and thus have nothing to go screaming to reviewers and reporters and such about, because they're already getting what they want.
Honestly, we're more than tired of people who can't understand this very simple fact - that not only does their negative opinion not matter, we don't care about it and trying to force it on us is disruptive and frankly harassment, NOT criticism. So no one's going to be bowing and scraping to you to make sure your feelings aren't hurt - maybe if you were the first, or the fiftieth, but when we get arrogant self-absorbed people and trolls by here ten times a week trying to make problems or leave their mark on one of the largest stories on this site simply for that reason or because they're assholes who feel the need to try and prove superiority where no one cares about it - then our patience is long past having been worn out.
Hopefully that explains your situation to you and you can move on peacefully and leave us to our enjoyment.
5943516 Oh great...another one of THOSE guys showing again. Let´s make this quick.
You´re right, We´re wrong. We humble apologize for any incovenience this story may caused to you. Close the door when you leave. Bye !
Now, on the next chapte...wait. No update yet !? Kudzu, stop trying to have a social life and publish more marvelous pony words right now !!!!
5943732
If Bucky can have slice of life moments outside of his work and purpose, why can't I?
5943650
Best definition of the writer.
EVER !
May be applied to the readers too. ALL ABOARD THE CRAZYNESS TRAIN...CHU CHU !!!!
5943516
Aw, are you upset that somepony has a life away from their work?
If so, what are you doing here, reading fanfiction? Shouldn't you be, I dunno, WORKING? Because if you are bitching about Bucky having a life away from work, you are being a big fucking hypocrite.
Because that is what you are bitching about. You are saying that the story is only relevant if Bucky is at work, doing his job. See, he has a life away from his work. Eventually, the Shadowsprites will be touched upon. But first, life has to happen. Events flow. Natural progression happens.
He went to work, came home, and his wives tried to make him feel good.
And you... bitch about this?
Anyhow, that's all I have to say about this, I have better things I could be doing. I must go and place pastel equines who have lives away from jobs and school into difficult and awkward situations.
This reminds me of the first Ice Age. WHO'S UP FOR ROUND TWO?!
5943757
Wow. That's a terrible way to respond to constructive criticism. I know someone criticizing your work isn't always pleasant, but insulting them and saying that responding to them is essentially not worth your time does not help your case. It just makes you look like an ass.
I do have to agree with Voiceguy on some of the recent chapters. Written works can't really get away with putting the main plot on hold. Yes, I understand you want to write chapters about Bucky being a wonderful dad and husband and how his family spends time together, but the problem is there are essentially over 100 chapters that have already done this and don't really add anything new to the story. Hell, plenty of these chapters just involve them taking care of the foals or just farting around (sometimes literally). The pacing honestly needs to pick up because we're only about year in and we still have some more down the road. Some events take so long to even occur and kind of feel like they could be taken out of the story without affecting anything. The Winter Games was a massive disappointment for me because it was built up for about 100 chapters, but only lasted about one and was extremely anti-climatic. Yeah, there was a lesson about how to approach problems in a more peaceful approach or something to that degree, but it doesn't feel too relevant since the main characters are determined on murdering the shit out of their enemies.
All in all, I suggest try picking up the pace quite a bit and not respond to critics in such an insulting way.
5944057
Oh look... a Rage Reviewer.
**Waves**
I was waiting for one of you to show up and take advantage of the trouble. So very... predictable.
So... anyways, how's things?
5944072
Yeah, I was expecting you to respond in such a condescending manner. It doesn't matter that I belong to Rage Reviews. My point still stands. Once again, rather than address criticism, you decide it would be better just to be insulting.
Are you sure I'm the predictable one here?
5944086 Yes, you are. Actually, all of you are. To the point to render any valid critic you could have useless, since all you do is rage and rage and HULKSMASH yadda-yadd-yadda...
Look what you are doing right now. You´re criticizing comments !!! For the love of Celestia, when someone sees him (her ?) self in such a position to criticize comments and answers to such comments in a fan fi site, that is the point you know he (she ?) went too far.
So, sorry, not buying what you have to sell here.
5944086
I wasn't being condescending, but I was being conversational.
This story is about an entire life. And all aspects of that life. The scope of the story is huge... perhaps too large. That said, I plan to keep writing it, bumbling through it, and learning as I go.
You... you said some pretty insulting things about me. Folk sent screencaps. You're welcome to post here and talk with folk, I just ask that you keep it civil and don't start trouble.
5944086
Love every chapter of this story.
I'm sorry it isn't working out for you but I'm going to have to disagree on the removal of chapters.
5944086
Oh right, because he's an author you don't like, he can't be a human being. You know what happens when human beings get attacked, bitched at, ganged up on, screamed at, trolled under the flimsy pretense of criticism to try and add false validity, and then treated like garbage constantly by people with egos larger than their dicks? They get TIRED of dealing with the shit, and that makes them frustrated, and abrasive.
That is absolutely, completely, 100% normal and expected. It is entirely okay. You're trying to demonize him for being a normal human being to add some sense of justification to your unnecessary needling and subversive attack. It's obvious to anyone. You've certainly done worse in your life, so who are you to stand in judgment? He has no requirement to bow and scrape and plead with little shits trying to piss him off further when they could have just done the sensible and mature thing and walked away. EVERYONE who is alive today, and has lived, understands that this is part of human nature because we ALL get tired of putting up with people who have no reason to be bothering us.
So, rather than it being on Kudzu, that makes you the problem. You are creating problems where problems did not exist. Rather than defending someone who came in here and dropped a load of crap that no one cared about, just like dozens of others who claimed criticism while executing group-based troll attacks to avoid any sort of legitimate counterattack or administrative interjection, what YOU could have done was just kept it to yourself and gone somewhere else. Now here you are, continuing and exacerbating what was a very simple issue that NEVER should have been an issue at all.
No doubt you'll spin some crap about how it's your right, but it's not your right to create and prolong problems. Shame on you for making things worse.
5944123
Fascinating.
Yes, there is irony here. A member of a group that does nothing but be rude, insult people, attack people, organise campaigns to downvote stories, and generally a source of negativity just came and criticised me.
But yes, I tend to agree. Very difficult to take the advice "Don't be mean to people!" from someone who is part of a group that does nothing but be mean to people. And had been quite rude and condescending themselves... insulting, cruel, delving into personal attacks rather than focusing on the story, attacking the author, etc.
Just more of the usual "do as I say and not as I do" stuff.
If anything, they probably sent VoiceGuy in specifically to stir up trouble so they could launch another one of their mindless crusades and look like they're in the right. So freaking pathetic - and it'd be obvious considering how quickly this other one showed up afterwards, almost like... /gasp/ someone's been waiting and watching, like they were prepared for just this exact situation!
5944251
Now now, there is no point in being paranoid.
I invited Pumpernickel Rye to stay and chat with us. I'd like a little bit of civility on both sides, if possible.
There has been more than enough trouble.
5944257
We're both quite well aware that the only ones who've tried actual civility were the people of The Chaseverse community. Everyone else hides poison behind flimsy veils of 'criticism' while insulting at every turn right to the edge of what they could actually be punished for. Then any rather valid and deserved retorts or counterarguments are treated as some sort of horrid attack on 'innocent' parties.
There's been all of what? ... Less than five? People who were actually sensible and realized their error and left peacefully or had an understanding accord with any of us to discuss their perceptions, ideas, beliefs, and what they felt they didn't like or understand before leaving us to our business.
It's obvious and sickening, but I'll hold my tongue and wait to see if this one and their no doubt incoming compatriots will be able to address us as human beings instead of putting on the superior-being elitist act so they can feel big about themselves.
5943585
It's been speculated that he's sort of transforming? Until we see what ends up happening to him I'm going to think that it's a Draconequus-based transformation.
5944326
No... no ascension in this fic.
Harmony magic sours and becomes chaotic. Bucky has resisted his purpose for far too long.
A more detailed explanation is coming though.
5944057
Well, The Chase has a massive cast and every single one of these characters has his or her own life. And I'd be very cross if I wouldn't get any more silly slice of life moments with each and every one of them. Those moments would be cut if the pacing would pick up rapidly. And we love this story for that. The perfect mixture of everday equine insanity and more or less epic battles.
Well, they need peace within their own rows. Can't have two princesses being mad and bickery at each other secretly. That would backfire somewhen. It did once, a thousand years ago.
I think both the Winter Games and Bucky's fight with the Crystal Lich back on the Isles needed to be this anticlimactic. They weren't supposed to be epic - at least not the Lich Fight, the Winter Game Peace was epic in its own way, in its simplicity. I personally loved the outcome of the Winter Games Arc.
And come on, we got the Rats Arc. That was pure adrenaline put onto paper.
Well I for one LOVE this story been here from the start as well and man has the chaseverse gone far :D
