Because if everyone's a princess... no one is.

What would happen if the Death Note were to fall into Equestria? And what would happen if, during its fall, its very ability changed, to cope with the new universe, and became the Derp Note? These two questions, and more, shall be answered in... The Derp Note!

Fics like this aren't about why? There about WHY NOT! Can't wait for chapter 2

Well, I hope you'll enjoy the second chapter, and find it more interesting!

4958596
Why? Why not? Wynaut.
Anyway, with a small amount of luck you'll have chapter two soon! No exact date, to be cautious on my part.

4958868
That is the secondary power of The Derp Note. It causes people to go crazy with hype. Well, your wish shall be granted soon enough.

4958894 ...Hory Shet... That should totally be canon for this story... Whenever it's used, a crowd will start to form around the Derper and do shit.

4958924
Hmm... maybe I can work that into its canonical power. (At least, canon for my short little story.)

4958926
Yes it is! Thanks.

This is either going to crash and burn or be insanely epic. The jury's out on which it will be. I guess I'll just have to watch.

4958962
I'd hope for the latter, but you never know. Well, I'll have to see everyone's reaction to the second chapter. Anyway, I'll thank you for the favorite now, and give you a Derpy: :derpytongue2:

Alright you win ill leavr a like and a fav. Cant waut til chapter 2

4979920
Wow. The fact that you posted that just before I published the next chapter is... ironic may be the best word here, it may not.

Another cliffhanger? And a Surprise reference? This gets even more absurd? :applejackconfused:

4979965 Oh, derp, it's been forever since I've watched the show. Can't remember the name of the voice (or if the name is even said). :derpytongue2:

Also, that is the most adorable cover pic. :yay:

And great job on no dislikes. (something I seem to be ONLY getting)

4980388
*Blinks* That reference is completely accidental. I honestly have no idea what it is, sorry. Well, it may be Hamlet.
4980394
Thank you. I should probably link to the source later. And yeah, no dislikes. That surprises me somewhat.

4980410 The main character of Death Note is Light, and the spirit (who is a disembodied voice for almost every episode except for the first and last episodes) is named Ryuk. He's the original owner of the Death Note.

At least, that's what Wikipedia says. (too lazy to rewatch the four hour long series)

Also, Ryuk is a spirit, because the Death Note is cursed to write the owner's name after its purpose to the owner is fulfilled. So I thought that Derpy wouldn't derp until the end (once she has had her random Derp Note purpose fulfilled). Ah, well. More derp for me! :twilightsheepish:

4980594
:facehoof: Wow. I completely misunderstood you. :facehoof: Yeah, I have watched Death Note. I thought you meant that the line was a quote from something else. I'll let it be a surprise for now, who the voice is. Also, Ryuk is a shinigami. A god of death.

Whispered temptations of revenge against all who wronged you... boy that Shinigami is going to be pissed when it realises its powers are limited to making a pony's eyes go funny for a couple minutes.

Wow. I wasn't expecting you to comment. Thank you! Mind pointing out the problems you saw?

Mostly dialogue-related.

"This is an example," said the example-pony.

When a sentence continues after the speaker is finished, their sentence ends with a comma (or, when appropriate, a question mark or exclamation point) and the next word is not capitalized. I've been editing for a few years now, and this is the single most common thing I run across. There's also the occasional instance of two characters speaking in the same paragraph. Give it a quick sweep though and you should be able to catch most of them yourself.
I also ran across the occasional detail that left me stumbling - for instance, why wouldn't Twilight Sparkle care that Ditzy derped an innocent pony? - but the rest of it comes together well enough that I didn't mind. There are some minor pacing issues, partly to do with how paragraphs are lumped together, but that's a structural thing that gets easier with time and practice. For a first fanfic (feel free to correct me on that) you're off to a great start. Keep at it.

4991827
For what it's worth, yes, this is my first fan fic. Thank you for the sentence advice, I do tend to have a bit of trouble with that. I'll be looking for those two speakers in one paragraph error. And regarding why Twilight didn't care that Ditzy derped Lyra, I'll be covering that more in the third chapter, and alternate ending.

Once again, thanks for the advice. And for the follow for that matter.

You're a jerk for making this a short chapter, but I love you for making another chapter. Damn bipolar-ness.

Eight hours later, I still don't know if I should be insulted, or flattered. I'll go with a happy medium. My spirits will help :derpytongue2:

Watch out, Twilight. You're the only thing standing in the way of Derp. :twilightoops::derpytongue2:

Most excellent. I do believe more is required.

Intriguing. It seems someone's up to some new trix.

Wow. It's been awhile since I've checked on this story. Pity it's on hiatus, but hey, we all have our projects that don't quite come to fruition at first. Try coming back to it, though. You just might churn out that insanely epic piece I've been hoping for.

...

I am going to be honest.

This comment was the comment that finally got me through the block, and actually writing again. Just knowing someone cared. And so... I bring you the newest chapter!

Oh hey! This! I remember this! I remember how much I loved it! MOAR, PLZ!!!

This looks like a ball of fun, but I'm a bit short on time. Adding it to my reading list. :pinkiesmile:

5894139 YES! This is what I had been hoping for! Bravo, bravo! Keep this up! Though one thing I noticed. You refer to Ditzy delivering mail to Whooves the doctor in earlier in the story. Is that the same character as TIme Turner, or just a slight misstep?

5895617
*Derp*

I knew I'd end up making a continuity error!

Yeah, Whooves is Time Turner. When I do my rewrite (See second newest blog post.) I'll have to keep an eye out for those sorts of things.

Thanks, by the way!

I love this series, why is reality experiencing server lag?
