Choosing Day. A coming of age ceremony when young ponies choose which faction they will spend the rest of their lives with. Fluttershy has her mind made up; this won’t be a hard choice at all for the young pony. But what happens when something goes terribly wrong? This is an MLP and Divergent Crossover. No knowledge of either universe is required to enjoy this story, although the authors highly recommend reading the Divergent book series written by Veronica Roth.

This fic was funny and well-written. But at the risk of saying what has already been said many times, Divergent is a mediocre Hunger Games/The Matrix ripoff. You can do better than this.

Thank you for the compliments bud we appreciate it.
But I disagree with you somewhat. I believe the Divergent series has some pretty cool aspects. For example the faction system, I kind of like what I read and watched about it. With the exception of the Dauntless faction, they're a bunch of Douche bags. That's why we decided to make fun of that group a little bit in this fic.
I realize that yes there are some parts of the show that are very similar to Hunger Games, and the Matrix. However, I think both the books and the shows were very well made, had a good story, and great characters.
6347805 Yeah, but... The Factions system was taken from The Sorting Ceremony from the Harry Potter fics. They even have the Brave House and Smart House, though they split Hufflepuff into Selfless Sues House and Kindness House to fill space, and replaced Ambitious Snakes with Supposed Truth-Tellers.
Also, the entire plot of the story is that the main character does not fit into her own clique, she is special and unique, and the world needs her, even if it wants to kill her off for being so special.

I see where you're coming from, but I think Divergent takes that cookie-cutter plot that you described and gives it a new lease on life through the faction system.
In my opinion, with Harry Potter we don't get a lot of interaction with the factions other than with Gryphondoor and Slytherin. Divergent, I think does a much better job with explaining what each faction is all about and why they are important. I don't think we get that in Harry Potter. In Harry Potter, the houses are more of a detail then a crucial part of the story.
The main thing I don't like about Harry Potter, Divergent, Hunger Games, etc, is the need for the authors to kill off as many characters as they possibly can at the last freaking book. There is no need for that, and I think it pisses a lot of people off.
6348223 Killing off characters adds dramatic tension. Like in Attack on Titan, when every unimportant background character you don't really care about plus Marco dies!
...I'm kidding. In any case... I get where you're coming from, but the books didn't seem to have that, either. You've got your Erudites, your Dauntless, your Nerds, your Rockers, and the- Wait a second, it's a metaphor. They're cliques.

I've heard of Attack on Titan . . . and that's about it. I've googled it just now and it looks pretty cool. I'll have to see if it's on Netflix.
I think this is the longest discussion I've ever had about something that interests my sister more than me.
(She's at a fair, otherwise she'd be talking to you as well.) But anyways I've really enjoyed our talk here. Me personally, I'm more of a alternate history, science fiction sort of guy. Divergent was a little too . . . eh, hard to describe, teeny. I like more explosions in my movies and books and less romance. But that being said I still liked the world Veronica Roth created. Not the most original I'll grant you but still just enough to set itself apart.
6348627 And just like that, you've gained an Awesome Point. What are your favourite books?
6349527
My favorite alternate history book is "The Guns of the South" by Harry Turtledove.
My favorite Sci-fi book overall would have to be "Battlefield Earth" by L. Ron Hubbard.

What are your favorite books?
6350834 Nice. I like the Terry Pratchet series, Discworld. He's one of the best writers I've ever read. I also have a lot of Star Trek books I bought for £10 at a yard sale, but I don't get a lot of time to read these days.

I hear you on that. I try and read when I can but those times are few and far between. But that being said I make time for MLP, we make time for what we love. Am I right or am I right?
6351779 Yeah. If I had reliable wifi these past few months, I'd likely have been on mlp forums and on this site a lot more.

My Condolences.
6352093 That's... not even remotely the worst part about these past few years, but still... Thank you.

I'm sorry to hear that bud. I hope things get better for ya.
