There are only three real monsters: Dracula, Blackula, and Son of Kong.
Twilight has finally achieved her lifelong goal of having her article published in the local newspaper. It's been a long time coming, but now that she's done it, she's so excited that she runs around town shoving her achievement in everyone's face. It doesn't take long before Twilight discovers that no one cares if you get published in the local newspaper. After all, it's just the local paper.

Never change, alex. Ever.
I really enjoyed reading this, as it's so true in a number of areas. I found the dialogue to be humorous as well. Have an upvote and a favorite!
don't worry Twilight, we all know that pain. but hey, you got it in the paper

I wouldn't dream of it.
This so meta I do not even what your huh bluh?
*hugs Twilight* We've all been there, girl. Do what I learned to and publish self-indulgent blogs calling on others to vindicate your effort.
Dat fic title tho. So catchy. 11/10
Fucking beautiful
And thus Nightmare Sparkle was born. A creature desiring to be noted as an important addition to the world of journalism and Literature (yes Literature with the capital L). From her ability and power came the endless barrage of too specific newspaper articles, critical analysis of classic films that fit with a more hipster and cerebral crowd. Her lectures rained down upon the public for a thousand years, and it was only after Discord awoke from his nap that he sat things right by turning back time, walking in on Twilight, eating her article, and then replacing it with a tell all interview with himself.
Or not.
Seriously though I enjoyed it.
4934376 it's 1 September in England!
Poor Sampson, he was too beautiful for this world.

I DONT LIKE THAT TITLE...
Is this your little rant for not getting published on EQD?
Well I be damned, it DID get passed. You awesome sonofabitch!
That title is something else.
Saw title. Saw date. Saw box. Knew I had to give it a go.
Eheheh.
Awful lot of people in here need a few knee pads :/
That title is really messed up
i feel like this is some kindof attention seeker. and i really dont like those. I would read it if you at gave it a proper title. It looks interesting but the title i just cant sorry

...Okay, yeah. This is actually pretty brilliant.
The concept, I mean. I didn't think the story itself was anything to get excited ab... OOOOH!
4935008 Don't get it
4935108
Exactly, you don't get it, you missed the point completely.
The title is not intended to seek attention, it's making fun of people that do seek attention.
And besides, rejecting a story purely because of the title is rather pretentious.
4934912 Ever hear of the phrase, "Judging a book by its cover"?
You literally just did that.
Shame.

>title is "Featured on 8/31/1014"
>Actually gets featured on same day

Oh, OP.
I just realized. Your comedic characters are mean and really stupid. Maybe that's why I can't get into your comedies.
Equestria Daily was a good punchline, tho.
Am I the only one who realizes that it actually wasn't today's date in the title?
Title: Featured on 08-31-1014
Today's date is: 08-31-2014
About a thousand year difference there, people...
Anyway, I did indeed get a laugh out of this one. I loved the line about a lampshade store!

Upvoted purely on title and summary alone. Brilliant.

4935217 I don't care.
And then Twilight says "Next Tuesday Ponyville can solve it's own problems. I'm just a hack writer."
Same goes for when a story gets featured here; no one cares
But it's... words! You have to put them together in some kind of semi-coherent order and everything! Don't you know how hard that is?
{everyone who's ever downvoted me}Yes, we know exactly how hard that is.{/everyone who's ever downvoted me,}
4935219
Except it's 2014, not 1014.
Oops.
Still, bravo, Alex. This is surely the most meta story in the history of evar.
Alex, really do know us!

You changed the title...?
I hate you.
Listen closely, My Little Bronies, for the writings in his story may be older than it appears!
I tell ye now, curious Brony, that this story was, indeed, featured in the year of 1014 by none other than GM Luna, herself... but unfortunately, due to her getting greedy with the GM commands, Admin Celestia had to Ban her from the site for 1,000 years!
Then, after the Users of Harmony joined in and chatted with her on the Blog of the Two Sisters; the same website that Admin Celestia and GM Luna fought at, she was finally reformed, and the ban was removed! Now, to this day, this story sits in the "Featured" list, and its name "Featured on 8/31/1014" shall be a reminder of how ancient, yet how wise, this story is, since it has foretold a character that wasn't born in it's writing day! This story... is words of wisdom! This story... is a prophecy that came true just one day prior to the day I posted this comment!
...Okay, I have NO clue what I just typed in!

Don't worry. We've all been there.
That sums up Equestria Daily alright
Okay, this was simply awesome! I couldn't stop laughing!
That's quite possibly the most arrogant title I've ever seen. Well then, time to read!
Rolled a 20 on that persuasion check....
This was hilarious!
I loved the Equestria Daily thing, how the date was close to ours (only about a thousand years off), and the ice cream thing! Although I get the feeling Spike would have taken advantage of Twilight and her ice cream. 
And their poor fish!
Are you going to submit this to Equestria Daily? (
)
4935916
That's because he's the only one who did. (

When Rarity said that only lonely housewives and effeminate stallions reading that far it i just had an image of the scene cutting to Big Macintosh looking up from reading the article and sneezing, and or frowning.
I'm not really sure how to feel about this fic. You paint Twilight as getting smug about her achievement (I.E. offering to give Applejack tips on how to improve her writing or w/e) which is funny, but you also seem to be delivering the message that being proud of your achievements is a bad thing.
Me personally, I don't mind throwing a 'Featured on __/__/__ in my description because I hardly ever make stories. As opposed to the amount of followers and quality stories you have, Alex, anything you make is almost guaranteed to be an instant feature (No offense meant if you took any.). So I can understand not really caring about your stuff getting featured anymore because it happens so often but when someone works on something they really care about and other people like it enough for it to get seen on the front page of a high-traffic website? That means a lot to them.
I really hope I don't spark a flame war with this post, I'm aware it's a comedy fic and probably isn't meant to be taken seriously, but it put me off kinda.
Good read, though.
BAHAHAHAAAAA!! It's so like that.
4938466
Perhaps I should explain. I tried to make it clear in the story that I am not saying you shouldn't be proud of your achievements, and in fact I make a point of having both Applejack and Rainbow Dash say that several times, but what I am saying is that being proud and being boastful are two different things. You can, and should, be proud of yourself for achieving something like reaching the feature box, but that doesn't mean you need to boast about, which is what putting "Featured on XX/XX/XX!" does. I don't think most people do it out of arrogance, but by bragging about how you got featured that is how you appear to most people. As I've said previously, there is absolutely nothing wrong with being proud of yourself, but you don't need to tell everyone else how proud you are.
I love you
4938557 I don't see much harm in putting a line in the summary acknowledging you got featured. That's not exactly the same thing as going around town bragging about it.
This story:
"Reapers." ... I mean, "Accidentally."
Spoilers! Sheesh!
Either I *doubt, or you accidentally a word.
