Pffft.
~Exodia, we're done here.
one does not simply tell twilight shes handling a book wrong
Meta parody poking fun at some of our 'friendly' users and commentators? Or am I over analyzing?
A nice little one shot.
Then Twilight discovers that the book is upside down.
I thought this was going to be more like she's been holding them wrong her whole life, like she'd been messing up the spine or something. But now I get the joke. Bravo good sir, bravo.
Ha I think I get it... Nice
5519442 Would you mind explaining? Maybe I missed something...
5519489 read the last sentence and then think of this community.
5519494 ...I have come to the conclusion...that I am an idiot.
5519500 hah
Should be effective.
Just a little gripe there.
Other than that, I found this quite amusing (and disturbingly relatable..)
I thought that this was going to be about how Twilight actually is rough on books. Remember the Series Premier? Twilight just dropped all those books on the ground when she got the one she needed. She also started re-shelving day by pulling all the books off the shelves and dropping them to the ground before levitating them all in a massive display of dexterity.
All the fanon of Twilight being obsessively protective of books is false. She is shown to be rough on them. Her rage at having the library destroyed may be focused on the loss of her home and possessions more than the destruction of books.
Edit: I just noticed that Twilight used the book to hit the jerk and drive him out of the library. That may be something she would really do, considering that it was on hoof.
5519665 Thanks for catching that!
Short but funny.
5518802 It is what you make out of it.

...I don't get it.

I think you could have written the message clearer. Even reading that last sentence, I think the average reader (myself included) would have not understood the point. I was ready to just move on until I read the comments, and I'm sure a few of the downvotes would indicate that. Interesting though...

No, I mean, I don't get the story. What was she doing wrong? I expected some kind of punchline to the joke you seemed to be setting up. I expected something, you know, clever.
5519694 Please shut up and go back to the tumblr crevice you crawled out of.
5523379
I'm pretty sure that comment was a joke.
5523379 Listen, I deleted the comment because of the hate I was getting, so you don't need to insult me, okay?!
5519205 Lol!
I loved it!
I saw this fic right as it popped up and did a quick reading of it. Hope that's ok!
I don't get it ... it ought to be written better with a clearer tone and more characterization. Also more description. You use too many commas. Twilight sounds like a bitch, I don't like it. If you don't get what I'm doing, please don't comment. You use too little/much formatting and we don't like author's notes. It's vague and the message is unclear. It doesn't follow canon. I don't like the shipping, anthros suck, don't make them human, Flashlight is the worst and you smell funny.
Would I be trout-slapped (or party-cannoned) for arguing with the idea behind this story? This is actually a topic that interests me.
That was excellent, and very relatable lol.
Bit odd at the start, and felt a bit slow, but I think mine were guilty of that as well, so I can't complain too much. That being said...
Screw the rules, I have reading!
5525587 I don't get you.
5524967 Nicely done!
5526018 If you remain respectful, I have no problems with a friendly argument.
5528581 How do I put this . . .
I feel like it's the reader's job to argue with the story. The author puts out an idea, a nice, shiny new idea. Then the reader compares it to the ideas they've already got, and decides what to make of it. Maybe they accept it alongside their old ideas, or maybe they decide it just doesn't work, or anything in between.
You could certainly say there's a difference between "I disagree with how this story portrays the concept of nirvana" and "This story should have had Spike more," but I'm not sure that's necessarily true. One may be more "intellectual," but they're both part of evaluating and actively engaging in the story. Commenting about it furthers the engagement, not just by talking with the author, but by talking with other readers, who will then discuss and evaluate the comment.
To me, putting something out with no evaluation feels like writing one of the TV shows in Fahrenheit 451. Just there to occupy time, to be accepted and then forgotten without the slightest thought . . . That's not how I would want to write.
I feel like I'm missing something cause I don't get it
Take a book from Twilight?

Surely nopony is that stupi--
Oh.
Well, nevermind.

The story is ok but that picture is priceless. She look like an old broody hen we had when I was a kid.
5584425 Chickens can be mean.
But yeah, the picture's amazing. As is this one. God, I love this fandom.

If that had been the case I might've liked this story!
5589271 Yes, but it would have detracted from the author's message. Otherwise The Ravager probably would have done it.
Grey fur and pony entrails are so hard to clean off of books. Seriously though, what was Twilight doing wrong?
5804267
With how we see her read in the show. She has the book open all the way with the covers resting on the table. Technically that can mess with the bindings of a book, and ruin it, or even crease the spine. So yeah, technically she's making it easier to break a page out of a book, or permenantly damage older ones.
The story was unclear on its message, is rushed, and there was the same point that is repeatedly mentioned in the comment sections by those not being purposefully malicious trolls. It wasn't that it was bad per say. Just that it had a build up and a message that didn't fully come across. Not enough anything to really make an informed comment.
Heck, if it was satire on people commenting on bad grammar and giving error fixes. Most of those people (a vast majority) give tips on how to fix it. Whether it be misspelled words, improper formating, or just bad grammar. Which the Book guy doesn't do. Heck we don't even know what his Cutie Mark is supposed to be. Especially since he has an important part to the story.
But even ignoring satire. If it wasn't supposed to be that. It still wasn't clear on the type of humor you were going for, the point of the story (if indeed there was a point), and we never hear what she did wrong, for the punchline if any to be had.
Welp, now we will never know what valuable book care advice he was going to give her.

Loved it, very funny story
Well, that was an interesting bit of random. Would’ve liked it more if there were a twist of some kind at the end though.
