And so Twilight was traumatized for life, and Fluttershy went on to become a famous niche romance novelist!

Simply adorable . . . also, great description of the cotton-candy cloud in the making.   That is just what one would be like . . .

Earth pony magic!!  Or perhaps just Pinkie Pie-ness.     I like the idea of Pinkie's little personal rock garden.  

These are exceedingly cute.  I've got the same problem - interesting ideas that may not flesh out long enough to be a full story - and this is an elegant way to use them.

This is pure gold right here.

Love it.

Kind of a fourth-wall breaker since Twilight's singing is supposed to be spontaneous (and how would Lyra know what she was feeling?), but I like it in a cartoony, logic-defying way.  Clever story.

>>3577435774

Lyra re-wrote those parts after the Mayor got her to change the soloists, and there's also a bit of improvisation involved.

"That's mah story an' I'm stickin' to it!"

Hmm, I'm glad somepony decided to do it, i had deleted my version a couple days ago

If I didn't give this five stars, I'd know not literature.

5/5 for a silly Celestia

Here's something for everypony

...wow. o_o

You got a laugh out of me. Well done.

You know, it's fics like this that make me smile.

HHHHHHHNNNNNNNNGGGGGG. My heart failed...

No comment other than well done.

Hah. Clever story. The idea of Winter Wrap-Up being pre-choreographed certainly made sense.

Good lord, you are amazing.

Aww.

And now, for a review.

...

If I had one. I'm...I'm amazed. I can't find anything wrong with any of these stories. Nothing. No plot holes, no characterization problems, no grammar mistakes, no horrendous formatting issues...

I can't. I'm a serious editor and proofreader, and I cannot find any blemish in these stories. It's literally perfect. Flawless.

You are the proof that humanity might not go straight to hell. This collection is a diamond in a sea of cubic zirconium.

If I could rate this higher than five out of five, for once, I would be very happy to do so. For the first time in my life, I have been unable to give a critique.

This...this is fucking magnificent. Fantastic. Amazing. Beautiful. It is so awesome. It is 20% cooler than everything else.

...more.

liked this one, and the ones before it very much, keep up the great writing

This is a stunning concept, brilliantly executed. Oh, please keep going with these; sometimes a great moment is worth a thousand long stories.

Is this at all related to a particular Dr. Who episode from a few seasons back?

>>4883948839

Technically, several episodes.

Oh, yes.  As an aside, that pattern at the start of this chapter does translate into something.

Cookie to the first pony to correctly do it!

(It's dangerous to translate alone, take this: http://shermansplanet.com/Gallifreyan.html)

Again: You fucking rock!

"And that's the story of how I got Gummy!"

That was just amazing.

Beautiful.

"And that's the story of how I got my cutie mark! FHey, maybe I should tell you how Equestria was made!"

Made me D'aww aloud.

You have a gift for words both exquisite and rare. Looking foward to reading more from you.

I'd Like to See this continued. I dunno How, but It'd be great.

TANGENT!: I'd love to see your take on one of the many Tired Literary Cliches surrounding the Pony fandom (Heh, a fandom less than tw years old has tired Literary Cliches) Namely Gasp! Suddenly X is an Alicorn! (X Being any or all of    ( or maybe go right out of left feild and have or )

Dammit, you're seriously denting all my Delusions of being a being made entirely of Manlyness by having me D'aww this frequently

.Don't stop. I'd rather have Cute PonyFics then my Machismo

Good god, that was perfect!

The Link you gave is Busted. T.T I wanna Author Cookie and I can't find any no-conflicting data anywhere else

D'AWWWW!

I regret nothing.

yes Fluttershy, you do need to get a better hobby

I never tire of these stories

Did I just really read a short fic about AJ's legs. Don't get me wrong it was actually a nice story but probably one of the oddest ones. My only conclusion is that, yes, Fluttershy needs a new hobby, or needs to stick with the animals.

this was..... interesting....

Are Bucky McGillygutty and Kicks McGee a reference to something?

*edit* Oh, Derp. They're actually Canon. I just saw them in another fic and thought it was a reference to something else. My Mistake. :D

>>120334120334

You shouldn't.

I took a bit of a step back before reading this thinking it had the potential to make me uncomfortable enough to wipe my history, and frankly WHY AM I DISAPPOINTED THAT THIS DID NOT GO FURTHER?

P.S Fluttershy, just hold on to those fics for a bit and then when the pony internet gets invented, you gonna be famous!

Besides, it's not like I'm just confined to paper.

Just leave some for me!

by Twilight Sparkle and AAAA. Don't you mean 'Johnson'?

There are a few typos/grammatical errors. But nothing that was sore to the eyes.

>>140416140416

As much as it might sound like I'm making an excuse, those were all intentional.  Remember Twilight was writing this in a bit of a hurry!

And no, Johnson was my brave companion, I'm AAAA.

So is Johnson supposed to be the control, and AAAA is the enchanted book?

It's a bit unwieldy, I'll be the first to admit.  Perhaps A4 is a better moniker.  But your deduction is quite correct.

Brilliant..favorite part so far. I liked how you incorporated songs in the show in this writing.

This reminds me of the psy papers I had to write in high school.

>>140449140449 Sweet. I has logics. IN SCHOOL!

Sapience, not sentience.

Sentience is simply being aware of the world and responding purposefully to it; a rat or a cat is sentient. Plants are not sentient, even though they can sense changes in chemistry and light, and will grow in reaction to those changes. Sentience requires a nervous system and the ability to process information, not simply react to it.

Sapience is being conscious and capable of self awareness, planning, scheming, plotting and thinking. A sapient creature can grasp concepts and formulate ideas about the world; they can express those ideas through behavior. Sapient creatures can recognize themselves in a mirror as being unique individuals, and can communicate that fact. Human beings are sapient, so are the great apes such as chimpanzees and gorillas, with example such as Washoe and Koko exhibiting every sign given above. There is very slight evidence of sapience in dolphins.

The spellbook was sapient - far more terrifying than simply being sentient.

The More You Know...

>>140586140586

Perhaps I could offer an explanation.  Whilst Miss Sparkle is, I'm assured, aware of the difference between sentience and sapience, the theorem to which she was referring involves only the former.  Thus her "observations" correspond to the theory but are not entirely explained by it.

As for the note when she first began to notice me... Slip of the quill, perchance?

...

Please don't ever stop writing.

This 'story' now bears the odd mark of having more views than it does words.

From now on, when I need to cheer a friend up THIS is what I'll recommend for them.

Especially the day before a Biology Exam

...This.

Is.

AWESOME.

Very amusing. The book flapping gave me a mental image of Alfred Hitchcock's movie 'The Birds'

...I think I have a new OTP.

...I want you to have my children.

What.

Well. That's one way to explain spontaneous musical numbers.

Sepia Tock...  that's a first. I've heard several other nicknames for him, but I think Time Line is my favorite.

What black magic is this?! The story had a 5-star rating, and I agree with that, so I also gave it a 5-star rating.

AND THEN THE RATING DROPPED TO 4.9.

>>161394161394 Too late, he already has mine. Or at least he should. I hope I poked enough airholes in the box I used to send them

I love your take on Fleur Miyajima, and this is... words escape me.

I want more Fleurdeliser.

Flawless. Your work continues to be wonderful.

So true. Seriously, every death trap I've ever known was slow, torturous, and terrifying. Deathtraps need to be fast and brutal, otherwise the hero escapes. Just put a bullet in their skull and be done with it. #pragmaticvillainy

This made me laugh so hard i stopped breathing for a moment. Keep up the good work!

Very cute.  I don't know if Dashie would do something so considerate... but maybe after another year of friendship lessons.

Haha, these are awesome. Keep up the good work!

Oh Pinkie Pie, you are so random!

I actually said "Aww, that's cute" out loud. Good thing I'm alone.

This is like the My Little Pony equivalent to Chicken Soup for the Soul!

Why hello there Johnson!  Have you by any chance met my friend Ben?

I get the feeling you two would get along great.

awww :)

Oh my...

I think I finally understand one of the memes.

Yeup, that's totally Pinkie.

I bow to the ultimate power of cuteness.

Well, this explains a lot. Great story.

The best. Creation myth. EVER!

... Well, this rather bland personalitied trophy wife just took on several layers of awesomeness.  

D'awww, d'awww and once more D'AWWW!

Don't, Fluttershy, don't! I LOVE your stories!

Help....

           ....the books....

                                   ....are watching....

                                                               ....ME.

Wait.... It means... It means... Ewww!

>>220487220487

It wasn't that.

I discovered these recently. Some are great, but one or two lack something. My favourites are Zen (Pinkie Pie gardening? Who'd have thunk it?), On Crowd Songs (because the explanation for the songs made me chuckle), and Experimental Report: Animus (Twilight's "scientific" investigations, my hoof! ).

The rest have some fun moments, but feel a little so-so. I wanted to like One-Bit Novels, but there are too many adjectives floating about () and I basically skipped from speech to speech until I got to the stinger. Pity as well, because the stinger was good. Good fun to read, though. I'd definitely come back for more.

>>223104223104

Ah, yes, the floaty adjectives were intentional in that piece!  I tried to write it as badly as possible, to most accurately reflect what I felt the actual Daring Do and the Sapphire Stone novel looked like.

So really, if you found it difficult to read, that just means I succeeded!

>>224478224478

I wouldn't recommend doing it again, all the same. It did make it less enjoyable to read, which was a shame because (as I said) the stinger was a treat.

Bon Bon:

Pretty good one Miya.

Oh, I would be too quick to rest Bon... Cyanide and all...

>>284293284293 True. It would have me dead and gone in 10 seconds at max.

God damn it.

See, this is why I track fics, people. Because they're good.

I should have known

and my horseshoes were sodden.

-They are made out of something permeable to water?

The strong smell of cheap punch pierced through the rain.

-Nice touch with the punch.

I'd hit a wall on the Bright Eyes case.

-Bright Eyes The Secret Agent version of Derpy/Ditzy? Or the Earthpony with the cataracts and the tumblr blog?

and the tangled web I was uncovering just seemed to get worse and worse.  No amount of brushing was gonna fix this one.

-Nice turn of phrase.

and sported a collar, with more than a few knife and teeth marks in it.

-Minimalist armor?

-Started getting lazy with the reviewing here.

and span around to buck me one.

-"Spun" I think.

>>287719287719

-They are made out of something permeable to water?

S'deliberately meant as a joke.

Bright Eyes The Secret Agent version of Derpy/Ditzy? Or the Earthpony with the cataracts and the tumblr blog?

No specific reference.

That's so cute. Trust Dash to figure out how to make cotton candy!

I approve of this chapter.

Very nice of Rainbow.
