Been writing since high school. It's rare for a fandom to inspire fiction in me, and MLP:FiM has done so. So, here I am.

T

Vinyl Scratch is a mare with pride in herself. She has her own business, knows what she likes, and keeps everything under control. Octavia is a mare with a cello case full of secrets and trust issues. The two meet one night at a double-booked concert and sparks start to fly.

This is in a more canon verse than the one in Night of Change, Midwife Crisis and anything else designated specifically "AU"

This story seems rather good, so far!

WHY CAN'T I HOLD (read) ALL THESE AWESOME OCTASCRATCH STORIES?!

944247 print them out! or get a nook, i hold them all quite easily on it!

The whole "son to daughter" thing sorta caught me off guard. I hope we get some explanation of this in the next chapter! :derpyderp1:

liking the story so far interesting that Vinyl like classical music and Octavia rather play jazz im fallowing this.

Very well written and intriguing. I look forward to seeing where it goes from here.

I went to push the next chapter button...and there wasn't one! what sort of maddness is this? Loved it, even if the characters are different than what I'm used to. Thats part of why I like it so much.

An impressive work to say the least. It leaves many things to wonder and look forward to while letting the reader into a world that while familiar is actually not that well traveled in concept. The methods used in defining each characteristic of the two is artfully woven into the story to add your own personal flair that still sticks to preconceived character traits. I can think of nothing that needs to be said only that your work continue to amaze. You will not be hearing from me often on comments but i will still watch.

Nice. I love OctaviaXVinyl fics almost as much as I love dubstep. And I LOVE Dubstep. If you too like dubstep you could check out my Youtube chanel where I make my own mix's at MusicMaster1241.

Lol I'm advertising sorry :twilightblush:

Lololololololol when I read Octavia threaten the Violinist I was listening to skilex Kill everybody and It said 'I want to kill everybody in the world' at the perfect moment! The thing about son to daughter though... Do you suggest that Octi is a transvestite, cause I just can't see it.

I agree with the brony above me.
Also, i love it how you are building the relation between Vinyl and Octavia, not to fast not to slow. Love it.

Very good, but the fact that Octavia is a transvestite (if that is what you meant by son to daughter) it kinda makes it creepy. Oh yah and MOAR :flutterrage:

944247 I'm assuming you've read University Days.

So good. Love the fact that you're making them friends, .ot just instant lovers. It is really good though.

With this updated, how can sleep even be tried to be obtained. Nuh uh, this is more important.
Post-reading edit:
This chapter felt a little rushed but was definitely...interesting. The pseudo-argument was pretty amusing, to say the least. It reminds of of another OctaStratch argument scene from another fic that is escaping me right now(just remembered, it was University Days). I wonder how you are going to proceed from here though. Whether you aer going to go the awkward friends for a while route or the straight to relationship route. Well, can't wait to see.

Interesting way of "flirting", I'll say that much.

Thats the first time I've ever heard anyone actually suggest printing a story on here out. :rainbowlaugh:

I really must know what this secret is? Is Octy really the son-turned-daughter? Or...is it just that she's a fillyfooler? COME ON MAN I'M DYIN' HERE.

I like this story a lot. The 'argument' at the beginning seemed to move a bit fast and seemed more awkward than angry or upset or any emotion at all, but I think it worked out okay. Vinylbseemed to recover a little too quickly from her drunkeness as well, at least to me. I think the train ride wouldn't be over four hours at the very longest.

Either way, loved this update. Looking forward to the next.

Like I said in every chapter and PinkieShyy also IS SHE A TANY OR NOT! C'mon at least say yes or no. I'm liking the story tho, keep at it. :trixieshiftright:

Hmmm... :eeyup: eenope. Gotta wait. :rainbowwild:

wait... is Otcy an tranny!? I like this idea!

980792
wait.. if she no trany.. does that mean... OHMYGOSH TAVI HAS A BROTHER WHO IS?!!?!?!?
or TAVI'S BORTHER WISHED HE WAS HIS SISTER AND THEY GOT IN A FIGHT OVER IT?
Caps on purpose ya'l!!!

mildly disturbed at the tranny thing, octy's always been so feminine. it's hard to believe she's a he. though i've heard some crazy things about deployment. i, guess it's possible? other than the weirdness of it, i guess it's an interesting idea to explore. and on the bright side, octyscratch babies! save some foal batter octy! we need a next gen!

i always thought octavia was great. vinyl not so much but she's still cool but i just love octavia. i think its my love for the british or classic people. idk:pinkiehappy:

Finally let it out, eh? Good on you. And points for the idea. I've done work with trans people and I'd say you got everything right. Really a surprising idea making Octavia m2f trans; I'm sure most would have fine rainbow dash or maybe rarity.
tl;dr: me gusta :moustache:

Well, guess it's time for me to start using this account again.
And yes, Tera, it's me.
You already know how much I like the story, so ... let's prepare for the shitstorm.

I think it's less trans, and more herm.

Futanari huh? I'll roll with it just to see where it goes. :rainbowlaugh::rainbowlaugh::rainbowlaugh:

I'm gonna keep reading but this eff's with my headcannon so badly... I'll try not to let it bother me though. LOL

Blame Tigan, he wanted colt-tavia. And, well, it's complicated. I'll let her explain it to Vinyl when the time comes.

1006358 Blame Starshine, he asked for ideas. And he was the sober one. :derpytongue2:

Shitstorm or no, I'm enjoying this one. Kudos for taking on a potentially troublesome angle with such grace.

Very well written and an excellent concept. Every word seems to get me more addicted to the story while at the same time making me laugh at the humor in place. I can not wait for what you have planned next.

And to add to that.. Bucking awesome! I lvoe this story!

:pinkiegasp: She has to tell Vinyl before they go on a date. I mean...yeah. Good update though!

Then she drops the bombshell on vinyl.

Uhhhh were those leaves supposed to be pot? :| Not cool, maaaan. :ajbemused:

That'll teach me to forget research. I thought you could chew the kola leaves to get caffiene, but the nuts should work just as well, and yes, caffiene does relieve headaches.

1027165
Well that makes much more sense ^.^ <3

Caffeine does relieve headaches, but if you have too much and get addicted to it you'll start to have caffeine withdrawal headaches. Not pleasant.

Love the chapter though.

Love the update, I'm wondering how Tavi will drop the bomb on Vinyl!:derpyderp1:

1027134 Not Cool!!!!! Don't knock it till you tried it :ajsmug:
