Redd Herring


Hey, I'm Redd Herring. I write stories, and stuff... here they are.

E

When a strange magical anomaly seems to spell doom for Equestria, Twilight is forced to go to others for help. However, she's rather surprised by who ends up solving the mystery...

Chapters (8)
Comments ( 37 )

I don't know what to make of this so far. I need to read more.

1058294

And so I shall write more, yea verily, as soon as I get off work today. I already know where the whole thing is going, obviously. Just gotta get it there.

Okay. Talk about feelings of highs and lows. What they found in the center was a complete surprise. I wonder what they will do next?

Find out in the next exciting installment of Operation: APPLECRACK!
I took a bit of a break today, but the next chapter is planned out and should be up within the next 24 hours. Look forward to it!

1078388

Ahh, sorry it's late! Couldn't keep that promise. It's up now~!

Amazing imbecile.
Amazing because of how much power she posses:twilightblush:...imbecile because she couldn't stop sawking at the big red eye as it was getting ready to blast her flank:twilightoops:.
Now what happens? How will they solve this Myr situation?

Just a short linking chapter, but I couldn't really figure out how to make it longer or fit it into another chapter, so there you go.

So now Applejack will be get involved. The interaction between her and Trixie ought to be fun.

1100935
Hah! As if the Great and Powerful Trixie would ever stoop so low as to associate with such common noponies. Maybe if Applejack wants to fetch her some drinks, Trixie might feel generous enough to grace that lowlife with her fantastic presence.

1100935
KaBOOM! Now we get to the crux of the story. More to come!

Binary? As in 0's and 1's? Then I have a question...How the hay does AJ know that and what is up with that trap door?:twilightoops::ajsmug:
If you can't tell by now, I'm hooked.:derpytongue2:

HER...

This shall be the beginning of a brand new fanfic! :pinkiehappy:

What time is it?

ADVENTURE TIME!! :pinkiehappy:

Serious Trixie? :unsuresweetie:

Under the circumstances, seems legit.

Have you ever played TF2?

Do you know about the pony mods?

Who plays Engineer, the smartest of all?

APPLEENGIE, BUCK YEAH!!

(Why do you think the author said Kaboom?)

Bonus because AJ and Engineer have the same accent! :derpytongue2:

1127136 To answer your questions, no to all of the above.:ajbemused:

1127845>>1127845

Ok then.

In fiction, primarily in TF2, Applejack is shown to be the smartest of all, the engineer. She also shares the same accent. I am assuming that this is what he's going for, considering that not only is she apparently good with machine's but he also said, and I quote-

KaBOOM

A catchphrase of the demoman, another TF2 class.

Hopefully, this made more sense. :twilightsmile:

You'll just have to wait and seeeeeeeeee
Chapter Eight is literally being written as you squeak. There's a big chunk done already, I've just been florping around so I haven't sat down and finished it. Should be done within 24 hours.

1131252

Yeah, that's great! :pinkiehappy:

Hopefully my TF2 theory isn't just a... RED HERRING!! :rainbowlaugh: (I'm so punny and smart! :rainbowkiss:)

Aaaand there it is. It dropped later than I wanted it to, but I fell asleep. Oh well~
Enjoy!

Ahem...TIME OUT!!
Did I just step into the Twilight Zone (no pun intended.) WHAT...THE BLOODY HELL...IS GOING ON??!!
I had to stop after Twilight had to plug a jack into the back of AJ's head. What is AJ...a cypony?! Could somepony please make some sense outta this for me? I am completely confuzzled? *brain starts smoking*:fluttercry:

1138993
I MAY have taken one or two liberties with my interpretation of the show. :trollestia:

1138993
Plus, if your brain's smoking, aren't YOU the cypony around here?

1139048
No, because what I read is frying my brain.:pinkiecrazy:

1139122
Hopefully it's frying your brain in a GOOD way, then. I wouldn't want to lose my most ardent follower.

Wow, this took a rather big turn all of a sudden O_O

The events of Ch. 8 were actually meant to be the focus of the story. That's the concept I came up with first. Just couldn't resist putting in some Trixie, so it lingered on them for quite a while. I'm happy with how it came out, though, and hopefully so are you!

I KNEW IT!!

I CALLED IT!!

I KNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEW THIS WAS GONNA BE TF2-ENGINEER STYLE APPLEJACK!!

YOU DIDN"T LISTEN BUT I <b> BUCKING</b> KNEW IT!!

(I'm so awesome. :rainbowkiss:)

1143269>>1139122>>1141413
I know what you're thinking. "Redd Herring, why the huge wait after you dropped such a bombshell on us!?" Well, the answer comes in two flavors.
The first flavor is that university just started, so I've been doing a little bit of prep and whootnat to make sure I know what I'm doing.
The second flavor is just laaaaziness. I get home from work and I just want to watch youtube videos, okay!?!?
But I tell you what: I'll pledge that Ch. 9 WILL be finished and uploaded by the end of Wednesday at the latest. If it isn't, I will write twenty actual limericks about Sweetie Belle. GUARANTEED.

1173373

Um... I was actually not really waiting that intently. I was just gonna take it. :applejackconfused:

But 20 limericks? Seems Legit. :moustache:

1173373
So where are the limericks?:derpytongue2::rainbowwild:
I would prefer another chapter though.:pinkiehappy:

Well now.

...

You know, I was gonna say something about the interpretation of Trixie as a genuinely accomplished magical academic being very enjoyable and interesting. Well, I'll say that anyway.

But then Cyberjack opened her secret lab and shifted my paradigm so hard she might just as well have bucked it with her own hooves. Consider my mind thoroughly blown.

More, please.

Yay badass trixie is badass
