A little self conscious, I suppose. Hopefully putting these out will help with that.

Flim and Flam, the shamelessly handsome and talented salesponies of all things cider and cider related are a marvel of the modern world! Such derring-do, such charismatic and unbridled charm is unmistakably theirs in the world of cider sale! But even such magnificently talented stallions such as the incomparable brothers Flimflam had humble beginnings. And like almost each and every would-be salespony, it involved a brief chase.

I said I'd get something out today, and I did. If you're observant enough, you've noticed that this story is 'On Hiatus.' And that's true. While I do have a continuation in mind, I'm trying to focus on other things. But they aren't leaking out of my head so well, so I stalled for a little while with this instead. I do plan on more along this vein, following the Flimflam brothers through a few towns, but that's farther along the line. For the moment, this is effectively a one shot story, I guess.

I offer the first thumb-up.

Though I wonder what happens to the machine, considering they're using the 6000 when they get to Ponyville. I guess that story is the "on hiatus" part. Work out your writers block however you want.

I really like the title, and the description makes it a bit more interesting.

Excuse my lack of praise, as I never, ever have any to spare for anypony :/

Interesting . . . :trixieshiftleft: A backstory for their song? Rewording it to be an ethics code and dream they had? I shall favorite this! :ajsmug: As well as ask your kind permission to reference these events in my own fanfiction. You shall be accredited if course!

Certainly. Permission on this and anything else that pops up in the later installments. I'd be downright honored.

1306063 You're the first to give those two any sort of background that feels like it fits. Uncle Scam also plays well into the setting at large as well as their individual atmosphere. The whole American internal battle between "honest entrepreneur" and "con artist." You made the brothers themselves neutral and ambivalent in their morality. They could be the jerks we saw or honestly trying at a business enterprise What's more is the Speedy's speed levels left me howling with laughter. All in all, if I can picture this scene as part of an episode, then you've got a backstory in my book! Speaking of my book, I'm pulling everything I can fit into my story. Several fics from this site, brony memes, common crossovers, all framed with a counterpart to the brony movement. Can I pull it off? Not a Windigo's chance in Tartarus, but I'm gonna try to at least make it not suck!
