    Living as an independent DJ has given Vinyl Scratch a rough life.  Things are not easy, and they're getting tougher.  When she meets Octavia Philharmonica, she finds herself entranced as well as filled with resentment.  Only time will tell if their connection through music will spawn a beautiful relationship or a formidable rivalry.

    This...this is a pretty good story you have going here.  I do have one thing to ask though.  I don't believe you mentioned what city the story is taking place in (if you have, my apologies I must have missed that).  Anyways it's great to see a very well written octascratch story make it to the front page.

    Cheers,

    >>777694 Well, I intended to have it set in Manehattan, as that's a pretty common city, but you're right, I haven't said it in the actual story. I will at some point, but that's in future chapters that haven't exactly been written yet.

    >>851590 Wow, thanks for the encouragement! I think maybe if I had a bit more to work with, becoming something would be easier. With shipping, you really gotta stay within some kind of linear pattern that often ends up with them together. With anything else, you can create your own rulesand plotline that ends the way you want. Which is exactly why I'm excited to end my AppleDash fic. It feels terrible to say it's ending, but I think I can managed only two fics at once, and this one isn't nearly done yet. At least two more chapters in this one, and hopefully more.

    Right. Octavia... WTF?!?! Seriously? :facehoof:

    And now of course, Vinyl is sleeping in the cold. Again. I'd bet money that Octavia is going to have a massive guilt attack over that.

    But yeah, other than that, great chapter.

    >>898177 Haha, 'Good, good, let the guilt flow through you.' Yeah, at least Vinyl's comfortable(ish) this time. But Octavia made a big mistake this time, and it really throws a curveball on the whole relationship. But enough hints! You'll see in chapter seven!

    >>902299

    Hrm...And thus hurt the object of her affection enough to sleep outside? I know Vinyl didn't want to hear them, but to me there was more to it than that. I dunno. Octavia just needs to face that she likes Vinyl. To me, "finding one's sexuality is a relatively straightforwards process...No pun intended."  -University Days.

    #41 · Chapter 6 · 44w, 3d ago · · ·
    Reply 

    >>903043 Most of the reason Vinyl slept outside was actually that she herself didn't want to have to deal this new declaration of Octavia's supposed sexuality. Up to this point, it was all up in the air in Vinyl's mind, but when she saw Octavia bring the colt home, her hopes were dashed and she didn't want to face it. And I agree, Octavia just needs to see the way things really are, but she still has some reason to be hesitant around a pony she just met.

    I'm glad you like the story so far, too. And I'm with you on the landlord thing, I'd want to be all friendly and stuff and then I'd lose money and that's not good for business. And what's wrong with rambling, I like rambling. It's fun.

    This was beautiful, I would love to see a follow up story to this, (you know what I am talking about, follow the crazy antics of Vinyl Scratch and Octavia as....) just because I can't wait to see the results of Vinyl giving the whole Ironman style reveal "I am DJ PON3" not to mention I can see her now having the confidence to take her life places.
