“Okay girls, here’s the last one, and yep, the page is ripped out of the book again, just like usual,” she said as the last page floated gently down to her.
202. Draconequi will always make a pointless grand entrance full of needless references, cameos, fourth wall break throughs and singing too of course.
So turn on the lights because it’s the Discord Show Tonight, LIVE!!!
Suddenly Discord appeared as the ponies started to sing again.
“He’s Discord! This spirit and lord of chaos and ain’t no other pony got the crazy like he because he’s D to the I to the S to the C to the O to the R to the D again, he’s Discord!
Ain’t no other pony got the raps like he does or the power, the dramatic flair, it’s useless to resist so just give in and let the chaos control your whole entire life.”
“That’s enough every pony, thank you very much but I think I got the reference from here on out, after all, you can’t just help falling in love with me.”
“Discord, what do you want here exactly?” Twilight said very angrily.
“Oh, well I just want your socks,” he said smiling now then.
“Wait, what? Really? Why exactly?” she said very shocked and surprised.
“Didn’t you read facts 112 and 113? Never mind, just give me all of your socks and I’ll leave you in peace,” he said.
“Fine then, just give me a moment,” Twilight said going upstairs and gathering all of her socks, “Here, this is all I have.”
“Well that’s just perfect, thanks a lot.”
“Wait, before you go can you tell me why at least? I mean last time it was fridges and now this time your acronym name is ‘Totally Discord’ and now it’s socks instead, and I’m just very curious as to why you need any of these things.”
“Oh Twilight, silly you, I don’t need a reason, I’m chaos itself.”
And with that said he suddenly vanished as their wings and horns returned, and so did Monday too as well, and everything fixed itself.
“Well at least that’s over with.”
“Unless of course the author makes a quick cameo!!!” the author says.
“Wait, who are you exactly?”
“The obligatory needless cameo, you know, from fact 177 and 202?”
“Yeah, right, and you’re supposed to be what exactly?”
“Something totally pointless and not needed, but very fun to include in the story especially if I don’t offer any reasonable explanation to the readers as to why I’m here, and speaking of the readers,” the author said turning to the screen and waving at the whole entire audience, “Well hello there everyone!!! It’s me!!!”
“Wait, you can see them too?” Pinkie Pie said very surprised and shocked.
“Yes, now then I want you to end this story on an open note, okay?”
“Okie dokie lokie!!!” she said literally pushing the sides of the screen closer together until the text started to get less and less.
“Sorry,” she said, as the screen slowly started to close and fade to black.
“That’s all folk!!!” the author said as they finally shut out both the screen and story too as well thus leaving the audience in a very open ending.
Tell me why you don't like it, please.
So. Does the word "INCOMING!" mean anything to you?
This is my sincere advice: log off from FIMFic and no matter how strong the temptation is, don't check back in until tomorrow morning. It might be a little easier to deal with things all at once.
You might manage to skate through this. Or you might wind up in a place where you're going to need some time for bracing yourself. But either way, your title will be noticed. And then there's a very good chance that those people will see the sequel tag, name of the author, your parenthetical comment, and then...
...well -- incoming.

Should I revoke/delete?
7948246
Yeah, he said that, so not a YES or NO.
7951558
Incoming apparently doesn't mean anything to me.
No, that would be running away from the problem, and I AM DONE WITH THAT.
7951555 I dislike this, because you use 'too' too often. Too = More then enough of something.

Part of the problem is that you directly tagged it as a sequel.
Look -- writers set off ideas in each other all the time. But there are levels involved here, and you just placed this work on a plane which represents a major drop below some of the other options. The order might go something like this:
* With permission and assistance from the original author. (Direct sequel.)
* In tribute to. (The original writer is gone and you want to honor them.)
* Inspired by. (Similar theme or just an idea which came from reading the first piece, but nothing close to a copy.)
* Personal vision which isn't meant to replace or belittle the original, but just shows how I would have done it. (Alternate history.)

* "The author of the previous story didn't specifically say yes or no to this, thus I take what loopholes I can get." (Incoming.)
You planted the seed. But you won't have any control over the harvest.
Good luck.

I FIXED IT OH MY GOSH ALREADY!!!
(Thank you though for pointing it out.)
7951629
Looks like this would be 'Inspired by' then.
7951629
Define 'Incoming'
(Hate?)
7951555 I haven't read both.
But I think the reason is because, people here who latch onto a good story hate seeing , what they think of as add on's or doubles of the same idea.
It's like to them seeing those weird rip off movies you find at the store.
kung Fu panda and then Fighter panda.
They feel you are trying to claim fame off anothers spotlight.
......Rawr.
Well I read your story.
It has a lack of detail. just voices bouncing around.
I only giggled at fact 179 and 180.
Overall was Ok-ish?
I'm not leaving a like or a dislike. Wouldn't feel right to go one way or the other.
But I do say at least people give this a read. might be your flavor of ice cream or might not.
Also a good inspired fic idea would have been to maybe drop the discord thing, Why not something like 101 Interestinf Facts about Alicorns? Written by like luna or celestia...or both sisters.
They could be fighting while writing etc.
...I'm going to do research if this idea is not taken yet...I call DIBS!
Can you guys even still access this?
