I love psychology and writing. I tend to write origional/experimental stories. I am the head of the School for New Writers and the EFNW writing track. My new favorite quote is "Why so ˈsir-ē-əs?"

Sunset Shimmer needs information on a specific mirror, and she knows just the ogre to get it from.

Originally created as an example prompt for a School for New Writers activity to help people learn how to write character into dialogue without any additional text.

Good story. :heart:

A good piece. Not too much dialogue only (the group for them is small) around here, and this was well handled.

The story was good and the interactions worked well. I wish there was a little more banter, as that's what dialogue only tends to exemplify and these two did what little there was well. A little more play and prodding on the ogre's part (to see how well he can bend the ancient rules that bind him) would have been fun. But, given the story's original intent, that might be overly ambitious.

A nifty read before bed.

Aw now it's ogre:rainbowlaugh:

It has, to my knowledge, only seem limited use.

Interesting exercise, I've always found conversations easier than normal writing, but some things are really hard to do that way. This story mostly made sense, but I didn't understand the last two paragraphs after the "..."

So. Sunset leaves and the ogre mutters to himself about how, while impressive, him binding himself to not talk doesn't stop him from putting in place a series of events that will cause Celestia to figure out some of what is going on. He then thinks on his encounter and decides that she has potential

I also doesn't help that this was thought up as an exercise so some thinks could be improved, and will be talked about, in the discussion.

Very intriguing. Nicely done.

Depends on which type of ogre you are using. In a lot of cannons Ogre's and Trolls are interchangable brutes excepts for a few particulars, such as sunlight effecting trolls or ogres being stronger but more solitary. I simply pulled from some modern fantasy lore where ogres can live an extremly long time, do magic, and this one happens to know Celestia.
