Interesting, interesting, interesting. But too much far far too fast for me. Props on the Idea though.

701774

I tend to have fast-paced chapters.

Sorry.

701838 It wasn't so much the pace of the chapter as how fast he went from zero to bad-ass. A bit much power a bit too fast for my taste. 'Tia forked over a pretty hefty bit of power when she always seemed to prefer to nudge others towards things - Hell, just sending him off to look for the guitar and empower it would have made a pretty bad-ass story, and seems more like a chess-game thing to do.

Instead it strikes me as Warhammer, where you Min-Max, drop something hefty on the field, and swing down.

What I am trying to say is that you pushed the character into 'awesome-town' far too fast for me to really buy into it. I really Dig the Idea though.

(Also, you are the second HiE Changeling Fic. I know of, but that has no bearing on this)

701939

I'd considered making one, but I wanna get approval from at least 2 of the 3 'Big Shots' before I make it.

As for the scar? That prologue is 3 years in the future. For all I know, it'll NEVER be touched upon, our stories may well end before it hits that point.

I shrug at you and then berate you for giving too much away. Bad Author.

Delete that comment so anyone reading isn't going to get blasted with info not yet revealed in story yo.

I was giving my words as just that, my words - With what I knew then, I was speaking what I thought. I can be heavy handed at times and advice can seem like commands.

701977

I just didn't want you to assume I was gonna uberize Knightmare like Griffin.

I have a plan, and I can assure you, uberizing Knightmare would actually be a detriment to said plan.

Is that... Barney?! OH DEAR GOD!!! - gouges out own ears -

Also... Barricade? Wasnt she from another fanfic on this site? I think it was called Mothers or something.

701982 That said...

... Can I call him Joe the Beating Stick in the near future?

701990

I WARNED YOU!

I WARNED YOU AL HOW VILE THAT SONG WAS!

BUT YOU DIDN'T LISTEN, DID YOU!?

NO ONE EVER LISTENS TOT HE GODDAMNED CHANGELING!!!!

701996

Wat?

No!

No you may not!

Oi, think about it. A changeling serving as Celestia's 'Minstrel', what do you think he's gonna be doing?

I'll say this much, He's not gonna be ready for direct confrontation ANY time soon...

Unless it's a Rock Off, he's pretty much got that covered.

702007 Heh.

In any case, you have my hastily glued on thumb, and we shall see where the hell this goes.

702072

Awesome! I hope you enjoy it!

702172

Doncha mean IS an awesome group?

SO MANY SONGS!
Why do you love to blow my mind like that?
Your song choice is amazing!

I had a stop for a minute and simply cringe at what you had invoked.
That should never have left my repressed memories.

702212

Thanks! After chapter 2[the next one], I'm might begin taking requests on occasion, though I may or may not take them all.

702184
I believe you have a nice sample of concentrated awesome in that group.

*Read Description* -Set in the universe(s) of "The Ballad of Echo the Diamond Dog" and "Griffin the Griffin" huh? Whelp, that tears it, I'm going to have to read this later.

702224
I'll be ready with one or two which may be worthy.

702233 Singular. Asside from variable differences between scenes, they're still, technically,t he same universe.

I, personally, view all of the stories as being our character's memoirs, as such some details are mroe accurate than others, especially in eachother's stories.

702240

If it's badass or silly, I might like it.

I'm a major Metalhead, though, especially Sabaton, so keep that in mind.

Aannd now my paltry writing ability seems even more paltry, still now that school is over and I have a few days off work I may start writing again.

I do like the idea of a game of chess between the powers that be. In my story I was looking for an aspect of power for Celestia, I was going to use Twi but my story needs more changelings anyway, mind if I use Knightmare? I will give full credit to you and any other authors I use. The story is in its beginnings so even if you did say yes He wouldn't appear for a time anyway.

On another note: Between Knightmare, Griffon, and Disarray the universe is in for a hell of a time.

702252
I like System of a Down, but your introduction to Sabaton has opened my eyes.

Listen to B.Y.O.B. by System Of A Down

You'll probably laugh at Cigaro by System Of A Down

702302
So long as you keep him in character[shamelessly perverted, really REALLY loud, and more reliant on dumb luck and his magic singing than any genuine, skill-based badassery like Griffin] I have no complaints.

702307

Sweedish Pagans

702344 got it, that I can do.

702344
I just found myself half singing, half shouting along with it.

And thus I woke my step-dad...
I get too excited over amazing songs.

702385

Which song?

Topsy Turvy?

Metal Crue?

American Badass?

Swedish Pagans?

The Barney Theme?

702390
American Badass and Swedish Pagans, I woke him twice...I never do learn.
Never the Barney Theme *cringe*

Master Exploder - Tenacious D

702399

I'm trying to contact Blackwing about doing something with this song

702401

When I saw the title, my goodness, I laughed and laughed.

And then I sang along because I've learned all Tenacious D lyrics. Time well spent.

If you use that song, people will fall, unable to withstand the pure distilled awesome they had been exposed to.
Side note: Have you heard their new album, Rize of the Fenix?

702184

Yes, it has arrived. So damn happy about this. This universe needed a little bit of comedic relief. I feel Chop Suey would be a fun song to use.

Also, if you still plan on using the Octavia possessed by Nightmare Moon idea, may I make a suggest for you to use Zeta instead of Griffin? The story is in the same universe, and Tavi has a huge reason to hate Zeta. Just food for thought (yes I shamelessly just advertised my story, but it is in the same universe as all the others.)

702501
702507

Then join the group and add your stories. Also, I'm still trying to refine the idea, it's a fair ways away and, most likely, a REALLY long way away considering my planned ending.

702662 you have now.

I like Running Wild, Sabaton, DragonForce, NightWish, Epica, Manowar, Disturbed, ElvenKing, hammerfall, Rhapsody of Fire, Blind Guardian, Suidakra, Trans Siberian Orchestra, and last but not least, PowerGlove.

I like a LOT of heavy metal bands.

702248 At first the differences between the stories are small, but then they begin to grow as the universes begin to separate again. An example being what happened during and who was at the Battle of Wethoof. Possible Spoiler: Example:) What happened to Mayor Frost Snap.

702704

Already saw that. And as I pointed out, I personally view the stories more as the memoirs of the heroes, as such technical inaccuracies ranging from minor to extreme should be expected due to differing perceptions.

702718 O.K. I guess. I have a tendency to get caught-up in the fine details.

Here's some songs you may like for the story:

Radio Up

Breathing

Reinventing the wheel to run myself over

702302
And Ember will just screw with Griffin (No Gilda, not in that way) and proceed to completely boop things up. Herald of death is present.
Oh, can't forget Echo or Khajiit (no joke), cause they're gonna cause some meyhem before the end.

704102 If allowed, all of your characters would would fit into my nicely. I just fear that my writing ability Isn't great enough to capture everyone properly.

704203
Give it a try. I've been proofreading a multitude of different fics, and just ask me to read yours and I'll give you the yah/nah. I hope you make it.

704243 That is very kind of you, thank you.

704246
Nah, I've just met enough people who are assholes that I want to halp everyone that I can. (If you can't write, then what's the point)

702718
It's not a memoir, but it is close. Also noticed a gramattical error.

I won't live to tell
So if you do
Give the next generation a big, Fuck You

Bold it? Other than that, yeah, way to overpowered within five seconds. Hell, my character has the strength of an ox, the speed of a cheetah, and the brain of a human, but still sucks when it comes to a fight. Gotta give everyone a problem. Still, LOVE IT!

704278

Like I said before, Knightmare mainly only survived via dumb luck. That's all.

You HAVE to do this song for the next fight secene

704921

I was actually thinking of using 'Warrior' for the next brawl, and Indestructible later on.

I've got a LONG list of songs from my own stockpile I plan on using.

More often than not, I likely have it n the list already.

Plus, there's a badass PMV for Indestructible.

704941 There is? I haven't seen it, link me to it?

Indestructible

there's even one that'd be perfect for Luna, The Night

Hmm read the description, and know this is on my list of things to read. When I saw that there was a new story about a dragon turned into a human taking place in Rust's reality I knew it was only a matter of time for the human turned into a changeling to enter this growing group.

Dont ask me why, but I imagine him grabbing a guitar out of nowhere on the way down as the song kicks in.

Speaking of which, was there any music durring the fight, or just his random singing? Btw, why wasnt Rainbow all "WHY ARE YOU SINGING?!?!". And we all know he would answer "BUCK YOU THATS WHY!"

707070

I'm gonna edit it to add that.

And yes, there was music. I'mma explain that in the next chapter. the 4'th instalment willl have to wait 'til I get word back from Blackwing.
