In b4 ban!

what did I just read and why did I enjoy it so much

Reverse Four-score? Now THAT is something.

This'll be an interesting trip.

Wait, I thought spin-offs or side fics of five score devided by four were banned or something?:rainbowhuh:

The cover art confused me for a minute. :applejackconfused:

Wasn't that like, 4 years ago? I don't see it in the submission rules anymore. Also I need an editor and a patsy. Know anyone?

8879580
My very first story was Reverse Asylum! I love reverse fics. :rainbowwild:

8879684 8879549
I can guarantee it'll be fun, or at the very least, unique.

8879913
Who else but Kaidan?

It's Dash without a cutie mark! Just wait until she grows a fedora. :twilightoops:

8879970
They were temporarily banned years ago to stop a slew of not-mlp related stories, wherein humans would screw around for a chapter or two and then have a cutie mark appear. Luckily, time heals all wounds. Probably. If I don't post a blog tomorrow, tell my followers I always hated Rarity the most. :pinkiecrazy:

8880045
I respect you for sticking to your principles of downvoting all 5/4 related fics and that's why you're the only commentor who passed my test! I stick to my principles as well, even when it doesn't end well. :twilightblush:

8880074
No, I mean because it's the same cover image as the old one (minus the cutie mark) and such a similar title that I thought someone had re-uploaded it, but then the description was backwards! :rainbowhuh: It's crazy, I tell ya. :derpytongue2:

I'd just like to point out to everyone that if there is a ban on story subjects, they're not going to pass the approval process and get published in the first place (unless shenanigans).

8880115
Auto approval is a thing, which this story did get auto approved, but I doubt this will raise any flags since that was such a long time ago, in the good 'ol days of FIM.
8880074
I have been out of that game for a long time, sorry bud. Glad to see you are writing again though!

8880045
That wasn't the rule. As long as it was a certain amount of words, or if it had ponies in it from the start of publishing the fanfiction, it was good to go as a side-story to Five Score Divided By Four.

8880192
Auto approval = systemized shenanigans :derpytongue2:
(But I did forget about that. :twilightsheepish:)

Sigh, back to my blog then...

"Looking for editor, college degree in english required, entry level, no pay, 8 years experience required. Must be willing to take a ban for the team. Contact me by texting this pager for a LinkedIn profile to retrieve my email. Job posting expires in 23 minutes."

Ooh!

Really glad to see a fresh instalment of this. :rainbowkiss:

“Yeah, ah hate ta shee such a lightweight wastin’ my cider!”

So AJ's drunk as well? Huh, alrighty.

So, I don’t know any spell that can remove a cutie mark...

Oh, but Starlight might have a clue!

Not all of them are observable, and there are likely other life forms living in the other dimensions. When you take twenty-three and multiple it by twenty, then divide it by a score—”

*lifeforms
*multiply

How do you think I can pull a tuba out of my hair?

Historically, tubas tend to always be made from 2.3 caret gold. They're also inexplicably linked to rumours.

Yes, with Pinkamena Detective Pie on the case, us twenty-three year old ponies had nothing to worry about.

A thorough review of the Ponyville planning maps will reveal that Sugar Cube Corner was originally intended to be placed on No. 23 Milkyway Candy Terraces, the 23rd street on the east facing side receiving an early-noon sun at exactly 11:23 AM. It was changed to the current location on the 23rd of March, exactly 23 days after a mysterious Sonic Rainboom destroyed 23 structural beams previously graded to withstand a compressive force of 20 tons...

...with some overhead giving a grand total strength of 22.899999923 tons max.

Ayy lmao
Only time will tell if this causes FiMFiction to implode again :rainbowlaugh:

Okay... gotta say that you got Pinkie nailed down perfectly!

I just have to say, Best disclaimer ever

8880947
Each pony's point of view will have their own style, but I can't imagine any of them beating Deadpool's Pinkie's POV.

8880621
I can't decide if I want to write AJ's accent / drunken slurring, or write normal and have it be implied. She's gonna hit the hard cider in this story. A lot. :twilightsheepish:

A thorough review of the Ponyville planning maps will reveal that Sugar Cube Corner was originally planned to be placed on No. 23 Milkyway Candy Terraces, the 23rd street on the east facing side receiving an afternoon sun at exactly 11:23 AM. It was changed to the current location on the 23rd or March, exactly 23 days after a mysterious Sonic Rainboom destroyed 23 structural beams previously graded to withstand a compressive force of 20 tons...

...with some overhead giving a grand total strength of 22.899999923 tons max.

Rainbows don't shine bright enough to melt structural beams. AJ and Pinkie thank you for this conspiracy which I'll use later in the story! :heart:

Break the site once, shame on TwistedSpectrum.
Break the site twice, shame on Kaidan. :rainbowlaugh:
But, break the site three times?🤔

8880954
Best. Comment. Ever! :rainbowdetermined2:

8881098
You're welcome! :pinkiecrazy:

I might address some typos I left behind, though.

But, break the site three times?🤔

Shame on the plebs who programmed it?

8880027
Thanks! I just fixed that. Anyway, why was the fic so popular? It's an original concept at its time for sure, I think, but what about it attracted so many people?:rainbowhuh:

“What’s up?” I asked. As I walked around the corner, I saw her and Dash in bed together. “Oh, wow, I didn’t know they wanted to sixty-nine. Everypony knows it takes three twenty-three year olds to make sixty-nine!”

As a math major I can appreciate Pinkie’s logic.
As an Education major, I am starting to question Pinkie’s education.

8881768
I believe the really big thing about the story is it was a writer’s wet dream. Plot? The grounds are there for how the plot goes you just put your touch on it. Character? Pick a character from the show, find a little or big thing that is opposite to the character’s personality and plug it in the human. Also it’s semi important to note you didn’t have to try and figure a HiE way you got there story. The transformation just happens.

Pinkie probably got her education on the streets from a pony in a purple jacket and lots of gold jewelry. Did you know, cops can confiscate money if you're arrested but can't take jewelry, which is why pimps would wear so much jewelry? They can always pawn it off for cash, but any cash they're carrying when arrested during commission of a crime is forfeited.

Wait what was your comment again I got off-topic ;D
Thanks for being (or becoming) an educator though, you all deserve lots of kudos for what you do.

Spike coughed and rolled over, “yeah I’m fine. Thanks for asking…”

poor spike

i get feeling that this is more about you listing off all of the fan fics you read instead of ponies turning human

Well... there is Rule 64 (nudity) and Rule 63 (gender bending), so where are the other rules?

How do you plan to write a fic in such a short amount of time? I have trouble trying to push a Flash fiction in a week :twilightoops:

8885064
Some people need less time. I've put out some one-shots in as little as a day.

Applejack jammed her dirty hoof in my mouth. My friends always talked to me about boundaries, and yet anytime I started to talk for too long they just shoved the nearest foot or blunt object into my mouth. Was that even sanitary? I always washed my hooves before I eat; I don’t want dirt or rabbit poop in my salad. And yet, I open my mouth and bam! In goes their foot.

After that, I KNEW this was gonna be a good story.

Kaidan, you are a beautiful buy some apples and I hope you never change.
8880074
I will rage if she does not literally grow a hipper tipper now.
So thanks for that.

Ok, this was great! I was a bit confused at first, but as it gained momentum I realized I definitely need more of this :twilightsmile:

Twilight, being the jumpy alicorn she is, teleported to safety as the gunpowder charge in my cannon detonated.

:ajbemused::fluttershysad::rainbowderp::duck:: "And forgets about her so-called friends."

Dash, being twenty percent faster than the average Pegasus, rolled to the side.

:rainbowhuh:: "Only twenty percent?! You'll feel my hoof for that! At least twenty times!"

Rarity, Applejack, and Fluttershy stood there like rabbits in front of a runaway apple cart.

:applejackunsure:: "Is there anything wrong with apple carts?"
:yay:: "Is there anything wrong with rabbits?"
:raritywink:: "Is there anything wrong with being a steadfast lady?"

“So, I don’t know any spell that can remove a cutie mark. I’ll write to Celestia right away. I bet fifty bits this was Discord! He’s always causing mischief!” Twilight stated.

I know another suspect you should check out whenever cutie marks are going missing...

Yes, with Pinkamena Detective Pie on the case, us twenty-three year old ponies had nothing to worry about.

:twilightsmile:: "Okay, we are doomed."


Okay, that was a weird start!
In a good way.

Well, this is going downhill very fast...

Other question: Do I have to read the original story to understand this one?
And can anyone explain me the background of the original? I heard in the other comments here it had involved a lot of banning...

“So… you worried for Shining Armor?” you ask.
“Nah, Spike’s watching him and he’s not cursed. If Celestia can’t fix this, we’ll head back and begin experimenting for a cure. If Spike is immune, I can try giving Shining Armor some of his blood… and since my magic seems to be fading slowly, I might even be able to try a spell or two dozen on him,”

Shining: "I'm soo looking forwards to this."
Spike: "Welcome to my world."

“I have a bad feeling about this,” you remark, as clever, witty, and original as ever.

Especially original.

Good chapter!
I'm curious what they will find inside the palace.


If you have some spare time consider making a blog/author's note explaining the story-references. I got a few, but not all.
And I imagine especially the bronies new to the fandom will have trouble understanding these.

Don’t Human Open Inside

... I don't get it. :unsuresweetie:

Wait a second... Did you lie about how fast you were gonna complete the fic? Unless you have like several chapters already been written, there's no way you could catch up to your supposed deadline:ajbemused:

8890846
Basicaly there were too many side stories so they had to make restrictions on who could make them.... it was THAT popular.

8892785
Oh, I get this one!
It's a reference to the big boxes they stuff zombies into from The Walking Dead. The left door says

Don't
Open

And the right door says

Dead
Inside

But if you read it left to right, it looks like

Don't | Dead
Open | Inside

So people like to make fun of it. It inspired its own subreddit, /r/dontdeadopeninside

*pokes story with stick*

Southern accent: Ah think it's daid!

I was considering finishing it up as the silly/random thing it is. Maybe it'll spontaneously resurrect itself soon.
