Poor little lamb. :trollestia:

A wool-told tale, if a bit itchy. Thank you for it, and best of luck in the judging.

9738451
Boo! Get off the stage! :pinkiehappy:

And thanks! Though in truth I've already got my prize. This little contest has got me writing again, and I'm so happy about that. :twilightsmile:

This is just a 1300 word setup for that line.
And it's magnificent.

9738493
I will admit to being rather proud of that last line. Which probably says more about me than it does about the story.

9738616
ok, i know this was only written just for that joke at the end, but i need a sequel

9738823
I must admit I hadn't even considered the possibility of a sequel. I suppose it's possible I'll bring back Baabara at some point... but don't hold your breath!

Ship dem sheeps.

A sheep shipping fic? Never say never, though I doubt it!

(I deleted the comment by "stunteld" as it was simply a spam link to an entirely unrelated NSFW site. I've also reported the user.)

Looks like the user's been removed.

Well, i just recently watched "beep beep, I'm a sheep" by Minus8. So i got an idea on my head all of a sudden, keep in mind I'm more of a mature and teen writer than a everyone tag so this is just a idea

There was a sheep, that you can per se, a symbol of a lost sheep, the shepard(can be any creature you want) searched for the sheep and is going to explore a entirely unexplored Forest filled with wonder and mysterious symbol by the three Pony tribes, the griffon King's first lair, stuff like that.

Anyeay just PM me cause me hand tires ᕙ(⇀‸↼‶)ᕗ

I am now intrigued to know what that actually sounds like...

aaaghglhglhglhghglhghlglhhhhhh

At least Baabara isn't afraid of mingling with the unshorn masses. I can't tell if the first or the last line made me laugh more.

Release me from this nightmare I've become...

"The first line was good. And the last. We'll pass over the bits in the middle in silence, shall we?" :twilightsheepish:

9759278
This sounds like a reference/lyric I should know. I don't, but then I'm me so it would be entirely out of keeping if I did.

9759506
Hey now; I’m not trying to fleece you. The middle was excellent :rainbowkiss:

9759547
Oh, I wasn't trying to bleat about it!

9759631
We’d better stop before this gets even more wild and woolly

Damn, this pun is elaborate. Kudos to you!

9770770
Thanks! It had to be done.

Cute - I always like takes on the "barnyard animals", and sheep are perhaps the most mysterious of the lot.

Do they have a group? Because this doesn't seem to be in one.

Edit: Well, what do you know? But that wasn't quite what I was thinking of...

9802110
Thanks! And I don't actually know. Fimfiction itself rather post-dates the era when sheep and cattle talked in the show, which probably has something to do with the lack of relevant groups.

9803624
Cows had minor appearances in all the early seasons. Sheep, on the other hand, only had one mysterious line, which the writers had surely forgotten by the time crystal ewes came along. But fans did not forget...

(Speaking of bygone ages of the show, I have discovered Louder Yay and am starting from the back. Nice reviews - a good glimpse of the Season 3 zeitgiest.)

9803635
Reminds me of my favourite line in Friendship is Witchcraft, in which Sweetie Belle (a robot) sees the sheep and asks, "Why have I seen these creatures in my dreams?" :unsuresweetie:

And I'd noticed; thank you! I'm trying to keep up with, and respond to, your comments -- especially as many of those early reviews were written before the blog had much of an audience, or at least one given to commenting. It's interesting to see how my opinions have evolved, too: I'm pretty sure I'll be kinder to "Apple Family Reunion" when I do the series rewatch, for example.

Well there might be a small delay before I continue - going to sync it up with resuming my own mini-reviews of eps. But that should be soon enough - as, hopefully, should be the English finale!

Good story.

the puns
weren't baaad :P

I've read your sadfic, horror and now humour - definitely raised a few chuckles while reading - that was not how I expected today's r34 to manifest :P

And again, the characters passed the 'I can hear the dialogue in my head in the voice of the Mane 6' test. Although funnily enough, this time it was your Twi whose incredulous voice I heard the strongest.

Thank you! I'm always particularly happy if I get characterisation right; it's the thing I most like to work on.
