S01E04 Applebuck Season
"Don't you use your fancy mathematics to muddy the issue!" Applejack stomped a hoof down. "I said I could handle this harvest and I'm gonna prove it to you. I'm gonna get every last apple out of those trees this applebuck season all by myself."
It took three days and every ounce of Applejack's legendary earth pony stamina, but she made good on her promise. She even managed to help out her friends with bunny censuses, stunt setups, and muffin baking in the meantime.

It's my goal to be caught up on these by the time season 5 begins.
Then, I'll try to publish one after every new episode.

You should rename this. The easy way out on every single episode.
You glorious bastard.
Some of these are going to be quite funny. Over the top like this makes for good light comedy.
5025753
That's going to happen a lot with these.
5025763
You're probably right. I should be writing... not constantly refreshing this page.
5025769
Pretty much! ^.^
5025793
You flatterer, you.
That's my favorite thing to be called!
5025800
I certainly hope so! ^.^

And nopony learned anything. Ever.
This is marked incomplete. If it is actually complete, let me know, otherwise it will be removed from the COMPLETED Story Compendium.
Already featured, and it just came out?!

+1 for the story. -1 for this chapter.

Good, good. ^.^
5025875
It's better that way. ^.^
5025886
Oh, yeah, sorry about that confusion.
It is complete, with all chapters written and ready to go...
But I'll be posting it one chapter per day.
I just leave it as 'incomplete' until the last chapter to avoid anyone getting confused and thinking that there won't be any more chapters.
I don't know if that counts or not... feel free to remove it until all the chapters are posted if you want.
5025915
*checks*
It has had an amazingly quick popularity curve... but I don't see it in the feature box yet, even with mature turned off.
5025930
I couldn't ask for a better reaction!
5025934
Eh, yeah.
Some people are not going to like the way I did some chapters. It's inevitable.
I hope you can enjoy most of them, though!
5025954
The image didn't load for me... but then I saw the file name.
Ocalhoun...
*slow clapping*
This. Is. Awesome.
5025977
I just hope how you treat Gilda doesn't make me upset. I hated that episode as it made no sense to me.
If you don't reply to this comment, I'll give you a like or a favorite.
Just reply to this comment, stating your choice, it's one or the other.
5026063
Wait, you did that, too?
I thought you had forgotten about it, so I set out to do it myself.
Whoops.
Oh well, hopefully it will be enjoyable anyway.
...and I'm sure some of the episodes, at least, will be very different.
Some are harder to subvert than others.
5026069
Thanks!
5026074
*Trying to remember how I treated Gilda*
It's a little better than in the show, actually, I think.
5026101
I reply to everyone, no exceptions, not even for bribes.
And besides, if you're going to like/fave, I want it to be on the story's merits, not because of some gimmick.
5026063
*looks more closely at yours*
Well, at least we did it in considerably different ways.
In mine, everypony is OP, not just Twilight... and I'm doing every episode.
I can't help but think of this as I read your story.
Anyway, I got a few laughs from it, so have an upvote.
5026366
5026124 DAMMIT! You saw through my trap!
I was jesting, I wouldn't grade a story based on it's comment section. Just wanted to see to what extent your one rule would go.
The results were rather complete. Thank you for the details! It sure will be handy when I'll use your identity to take control of half of Europe!
5026124 Eh, I don't doubt there will be some deviation, but the main reason that I stopped reading Letters from a Disgruntled Friendship Student was because literally every chapter used the same joke and it quickly lost its novelty.
After reading the first two chapters of this I had a flashback to why I stopped reading that story
With OPony, I actually intentionally stopped doing every episode perfectly in order because it became so mind numbing following such a rigid blueprint.
Hilarious!
OK, if you want a critique, here we go:
Basically, you took the existing script and just removed all of the obstacles from the episodes. Considering the fact that conflict is that which a story revolves around (yes, even comedies), this makes for an incredibly boring and woefully short story, with no real originality, and no reason to continue reading, other than the fact that it might get better.
That being said, the writing is decent and there are no gaping grammatical or spelling errors.
TL;DR - You have the skill to write a decent story, but the story itself is flawed.
5025875 My little Pony: Applejack Edition
(Spoiler, the S5 season finale is a three-episode cider party in which Applejack drinks cider. lots of cider.)
This was boring.
Try to make the next chapter better, please?
5027006 In what way? Was there supposed to be a funny joke?
S0XEXX: The ones with Twilight - Powerful spell that the canon plot needed her to forget she had. The end.
While this chapter is awful and it is no getting past that it is too short and Applejack doesn't learn anything or do anything wrong. There is potential with this premise so I suggest you go back and rewrite these with a timeline and a word limit.
You sir, (or mam) are a genious. Here is MY seal of approval!

If you looked at the picture, you just got skurred.
5027189 Were you reading the same chapter as me? Applebuck Season had two sentences, neither of them funny in the slightest.
What you've just done there is write the most hilarious paragraph in the English language. Bravo!
Well... that was... something.
Honestly, this strikes me as something which is funnier in concept than execution. "What if all of the episodes ended instantly due to the use of soft magic?" is a funny idea, but in practice, reading the stories isn't actually all that interesting, even as short as they are.
5027628 What I find funny is that, without a moral lesson to stretch out the situation, It's hilarious how easily resolvable most of these problems can be, if it's all carried out the right way.
5027721 Really though, it felt incredibly lazy to me.
5028335 It's not exactly an action packed episode :/
Just out of morbid curiosity I am going to favorite and like this to see where it goes. This is so surreal I cannot pull away. This is faster than anything I have ever read. Yo may call it "Ultra Fast."
KBO.
5027546 SPOOKY SCARRY SKELOTONS SEND SHIVERS DOWN YOUR SPINE
I'm with Titanium Dragon on this. A really funny concept, but there's not enough joke to support more than a one-shot. What we get is a bunch of fairly pointless snippets where nothing really happens. It might work better if written as a full-on parody, but it sticks a little too close to the show for that.
Also the whole OP thing just makes me thing of this one instead.
You should have her just start out with super rainbow alicorn blasty power, like in the picture. And she uses it on Nightmare Moon. And the gala tickets. And the apple trees. And Gilda. Etc.

HAAaaa!

5028335
Yeah... this isn't exactly intended to be a great work of literature. Just something I threw together in my spare time because I was bored.
5026669
Integrity for the win!
5026684
Yeah... it might get old after a while, I guess.
But hopefully I can have interesting ways to subvert some of these episodes.
5026928
Yeah, this is going to be hit-or-miss, I'm afraid. Some will be good, others... not so good.
5026944
5027546
Thanks!
5026998
Yeah, I can understand that reaction!
5027189
*shrugs*
5027212
Pretty much!
5027432
Nope. Because everything really is that easy.
5027682
Wow... it's weird how some people love it and others hate it.
5027720
Kind of true, yeah.
But I'm a sucker for concept-driven stories.
Especially when they're easy to do!
5028371
I should find some way to incorporate that!
5028559
Can't ask for more than that!
5028893
I know, right?
5029124
Sort of what I did... but I opted for just a bit more making sense.
5029138
But that won't do at all!
They need to be easily defeatable!
5029224
5029266
5029599
Pretty much.
Solves her problem, though.
5029945
I always thought that was a fun part.
5030336
5030339
Yeah, I like how this episode went!
5030353
I don't even like celery.
