Half Dime


"Begin at the beginning and go on till you come to the end; then stop." - Lewis Carroll

It's senior prank week at Canterlot High, so Discord decides to rewrite the fortunes he finds in fortune cookies. Naturally, Twilight doesn't approve.


And an extra special thanks goes to Alovelylittlecomplex for helping me with the editing!

Please continoe writing. Also, is humanized discord a bad guy since you say he is malice?

Wow. The way you wrote him, I can just imagine teenager-Discord sitting there in the corner, smoothly mocking everything and everyone, ever. :pinkiehappy: This was so much fun, and I would definitely continue reading it. Also, does this mean Rarity and the lunch lady share a nickname? Because I don't know what Rarity would think of that. :rainbowlaugh:

Sorry this is not a fabulous story :fluttershbad: Better luck next time Fabulous person :scootangel:

By the way the cover is fabulous :ajsmug:

Well I for one liked it! When all you have are talking heads, at least they can be interesting!

Well... I'd like to see it continue.

Hmmm the story has potential....but in your notes you state you have no time for a continuity so I don't think this is an appropriate one shot if feels more like a prologue of what could have been.

Is there really going to be a sequel, or will this be a one-shot?

Nice humanized Discord. Sounds interesting.
And could it be by any chance that the fortune cookies are a Percy Jackson reference?

Yeah, sort of. I wouldn't really consider humanized Discord a "villain" or a "bad guy" as much as I would consider him an opposing force.

Think of it this way: if draconeqqus Discord is the embodiment of chaos, and is an antagonist because chaos naturally opposes harmony (which the mane six represent), then Discord de Lancie, the embodiment of malice, would be an antagonist because malice, and by extension revenge, oppose friendship, which Twilight alone represents.

*Gasp* You discovered my secret. I can either a) exterminate you or b) give you my most sincere congratulations, seeing as how you were the first one to "figure it out". :ajsmug: Take your pick.

I'm sorry, I'm not sure I understand the question.

Actually, I'm not working on the sequel just yet. When I said in the author's notes that I'm considering a sequel I meant it, but I realized half way through writing this piece that I left myself so many more possibilities for a prequel.

Think about it: there are so many questions in this story I left unanswered. What happened to humanized Discord 29 moons ago? Why did he visit Equestria in the first place? How did he discover who he truly was? When did he meet pony Twilight? What did he learn about Twilight's destiny? Why does he think that Twilight "Tara Strong" Sparkle will eventually have to confront Equestria? What else besides the mirror and the statue bond America and Equestria together? All these questions I was originally going to answer in Senior Prank Week I realized could be answered so much more effectively in a prequel, No Ordinary Mirror.

And the best part is, I already have half the story written. When I started writing Fortune Cookies, I made sure I knew exactly what happened to both Discord de Lancie and Twilight "Tara Strong" Sparkle before the story began, that way I could effectively leave myself the possibility of a second chapter. But, unless Fortune Cookies or No Ordinary Mirror inexplicably generates a greater following, or I get a clearer, stronger direction as to where I could go with Senior Prank Week, I don't think I'm going to continue this piece. I think I'm just going to write its prequel, and be happy. And with any luck, my followers will be happy too.

Could you be a little bit more specific? I'm always up for some constructive criticism.

4842819 What I meant was that the picture was cool. And that I liked the picture. So I just wanted to let you know that. :ajsmug:

Well, thank you; I like the cover art too. But what I meant was that at one point you said the story wasn't "fabulous". What did you mean by that? What exactly wasn't fabulous? How do you think I could improve this piece? I'd just like to hear your opinion so I can improve my abilities as a writer.
