    Oh, wow. Another OC story. How original.

    This is the diary of John, a very bland stallion whose exciting days consist of laundry detergent, tea bags, and toothpaste. From finding lucky coins, to deciding between toilet paper and bath soap, it's almost impossible to tell what will this reckless, out-of-control soul do next.

    I will update it whenever I feel like updating it, meaning that it may have as little as one or two chapters or as many as fifty. This diary in no way reflects the events of my life. It's meant to be a stark contrast between all the so-called "interesting" OC stories on here.

    UPDATE: Story completed. This was fun guys! Really. Thanks for all your comments and stuff! :) God bless.

    This is hilarious! I know John is meant to be boring and unimaginative and whatnot, but he comes off as a pleasant chap, and one who, because he is easily entertained, is strangely happy. I wish I could feel as much about my hobbies as he does about laundry detergent!

    >>839688 Even though he's a joke character, I think that John can show that, once in a while, we've all got to take a big, deep breath and take in the little things just made for us to enjoy in life. :-)

    This better not end with a lesson abour how John should change and be more like other ponies because it is wrong to be like he is:fluttercry:

    >>883983 It most certainly will not end that way!

    You'll have to wait and see how it DOES end, though...

    ...(of course, I can tell you that there will be no shipping, pairings, or John becoming un-bland.)

    Oh my gosh! You were daring enough to write about a bland character! my goodness, what recklessness. You made me write an exclamation mark. Something I haven't done in two minutes.

    This is genious. I want to see him having a hard time choosing between two different brands of toilet paper.

    Just finished the story and I think it was... adequate. John is a refreshing taste on a site of almost constant (dare I say it) adventurous characters.

    Though I do feel a slight bit of shame for snooping into John's diary... I will now express my embarrassment with an emotional icon: :twilightblush:

    I cannot wait for your next update. Oh, and I was lead to this story by the overly mild Bronymaster.

    For some reason this story reminds me of The Stanley Parable. Not that the plots seem similar in any way, I just think that Stanleys job would be perfect for John.

    I 'd'awed' when I heard about John's profession. Such a quaint little appliance manual store. ^^ I think I almost like John better than Derpy, man, I'm just sayin'! ^^

    >>908804 You have a very good, unique writing technique. I write so everypony sees the scene as well as what the characters feel. You go deeper than I do with emotions and do something...I can't really explain it, but it's very good! I'll think of a better description later. ^^

    It contains instructions in three languages and the water heater itself, the E.S. 000, came in shades of grey and gray.

    John's passion for the small things is both hilarious and very touching. I'm so happy Pinkie has learned from her experiences with i.e. C. D. Donkey and now adjusts her merriment-inducing talents to the recipient!:pinkiesmile:

    This is another one of those badly underrated fics I've seen every now and then.

    It's just a bit of fun really; something meant to be light-hearted. I think it accomplishes that very well. :pinkiesmile:

    Well I don't know how long you can keep this up without it getting repetitive but for now it's keeping the charm.

    John should hang out with Fluttershy sometime I imagine he'd be really good at the Quiet Game.

    >>935964 I'll just keep writing until I run out of ideas, but I heartily agree. John would be the bomb at the quiet game. :)

    The contrast of this from all of the 'Exciting' fics going around is really refreshing.

    It's good that there is no conflict at times, but you did a good job of making this seem suspenseful. :twilightsmile:
