The Grey Pegasus


Pony stuff author since 2012. Writes supposedly good stuff. Still haven't made a break. Still persistent. Probably highly unlucky. Or hated by the universe. Either determined or insane. Or both.

Trixie Lulamoon. A normal unicorn mare that aspires to be a stage magician in her spare time. She's more skilled and well-practiced than one would appear. Two days after what could be considered her only failure, she meets up with a friend to again discuss her recent experiences.

A very slice of life story. Involves a simple conversation between our favorite magician and one of my OCs.

Written before Season 3.

Finally got this out of the way. Back to writing other stuff!

And about the four random comments below- I just had someone do a quick review of the story before publishing, so... yeah.

O.K. bud. I don't know how you wanted me to respond, so I figured a comment would suffice. First, the question that bothered me and I think I already know the answer. Is this Redwood the same from AToR or a separate character? If so then this is a bit of a prequel spinoff of sorts. Nice. :ajsmug: Second, I don't see how you saw this as making you look like a jerk. Redwood simply stated what he felt was right and what Trixie needed to hear. Third, I like the premise of the story and do believe this will give some readers a better view on Trixie, to know she wasn't just a boastful brat. I personally think that this could be a really entertaining series. Any Trixie fans out there would have a fun time. I do feel that there needs to be a bit more detail though, like "Were is she from?", "Who is her boss?", "What is her job?" Things like that. I'm sure you'll answer all of those in later chapters, but their something to take into consideration. I did notice a few grammar and dialogue errors, but nothing a few re-reads wouldn't fix. I hope my insight has been helpful. :twilightsheepish: If there is anything you'd like to ask me feel free and also 'till you plan to publish this I'de remove or edit the comment on my page with the link. I realize not many people look at my page, but some people have prying eyes and would read this without your consent.

Yes, this is in fact the conversation Redwood mentioned in All Types of Rain, making it a sort of prequel/spin off. Also, the jerk part is because this is an incredible satire on writing stories and... you know... not getting noticed much (this story was conceived before my generally well-received Eureka crossover). It was another one of those stories written in frustration. I mean, authors do tend to write their feelings in their work, right? Fortunately, this story served as a vent, and I think I feel much better now. I personally do not care too much about how popular this story gets (ironic, huh?), as long as it's not received negatively :twilightsmile:.

And, uh, it's a one-shot. No other chapters :twilightsheepish:. But I'm free to expand on it if you want on my other story, through conversations about Trixie.

1104284 Well, I didn't view this as you being a jerk. I viewed it as a well written and entertaining talk between Trixie and a friend. Most people don't read a story and go "This must be his/her's inner feelings." Most just read a story for the entertainment value of it. Now if a personal friend or relative of yours read this they might understand you were projecting your feelings in written form, but most people won't. It takes either time or extreme talent to get out into the super know works list. Aurora Dawn, the author of Rainbow Factory, would probably be just as unknown as me or you if he hadn't gone out and told BronyDanceParty about the story and gotten it featured in the description of the song. The rest of his works, and I'm sorry for saying this, are mediocre to good at best. They're definitely not something that'll be in the featured box anytime soon. Even though it may seem like it's taking ages, you just have keep going and building followers. You'll get there with your talent. It just takes time. :raritywink:

1104284 Re: to the edit to your comment. I think you should try and include whatever works in your story. If your story doesn't have an opening to include talks about Trixie then don't force it. If something a reader wants interferes with the overall feel of a story then I don't recommend it. Writers make readers, not the other way around. Remember that. I might include things in my writings as a way to avoid disappointing certain follower(s) I've gained (which isn't many) but I never change a story or ruin a flow to do so. One follower of mine is quite fragile of a person and is always afraid I'm going to kill Dash in my writings and ya know sometimes I might, but I don't change how I planned things to avoid offending him. I just tell him not to read it or toughen up a bit. That's all I got on the subject.

Dude... This story, it's like... Multi-layered and metaphorical and stuff.

That's deep.

How so? The way I said it was?

This is a really sweet story.

I think people go overboard with Trixie, she's an actress/showmare... you got to show everything in flare like fashion and whatnot. She's not horrible, she just wanted people to believe in her illsuion like any magician.

:) This was really a sweet story.... I hope you make more:heart:

1104914 Yeah, pretty much how Trixie's attempts at fame reflect your attempts to gain more popularity as an author.

At least, that's what I got out of it.

It's a nice story. Kind of an unusual take on Trixie.
