Woo. Dark Souls and Ponies. My two favorite things evar.

>>11840291184029

Could not agree more. I'm going to read this, and damnit I'm going to love it. I'll notify you of errors I find, if any.

Put on my read later list but on another note, does anyone have trouble with blight town because it has made me cry

>>12068091206809

5fpstown makes everypony cry the first time around.

Surprisingly, I don't notice a drop in FPS on my PC(any more than normal - you get used to the slight framerate drop through the entire game, it's slightly worse than console)

>>12068091206809

Just skip Blighttown? Back entrance FTW!

"what had to be" <- Not sure if that's wrong, but it's definitely weird.

“No!” She shouted <- that "she" shouldn't be capitalized.

Well, damn. An author who knows the difference between "it's" and "its". It's kind of sad that I'm so surprised by this, but I digress. You've got yourself a loyal reader.

>>12068261206826

Hay no. If you've never done the entirety of the Depths and Blighttown before, you're missing out on the true Dark Souls experience!

Of course, that means you never have to do it again.

NEVER.

>>12068861206886

Hey now, I didn't use the shortcut the first few times. After the fifth character or so, though, Blighttown wasn't any longer worth the effort it expends. So, now, I'll just farm people in Dark Anor Londo to make up for the souls I lose by skipping pretty much half of the game.

>>12069011206901

lol

Karen scooped it up with one hoof(heavy thought it was) <- You missed a space there, and it's supposed to be "heavy though it was." I make that typo all the time, as well.

You missed a closing tag for italics. Again, something I've done in the past. Twice, even.

(soon as it fell off of that hollow in Darkroot she’d taken a liking to it)  <- The rest of your writing is so... near-flawless that you're making me doubt that the space before brackets is even necessary. Nevertheless, if I'm not sure, I'll tell you.

Shining armor <- Armor is a part of his name as well, you know.

ashes(fire!) <- Think you missed something when revising.

so he sat a moment by it, relishing in the feeling. <- This just needs a completely rephrasing.

It oriented on him, <- ?

walked this new direction <- Should be obvious.

That is all, for now.

>>12069611206961

Thank ya kindly, sir.

By oriented I mean that it turned towards him. That is an accepted use of the word, but thank you nonetheless!

>>12069981206998

Upon posting the comment, I noticed that it could actually work. Still, if it bothered me, it might bother others. Sometimes, you just have to look further than whether or not a phrase is technically POSSIBLE.

>>12070061207006

Actually, it's quite commonly used among the things I read, but I didn't want to accidentally insult you by saying it was "common" (I really don't want to sound all high-nosed, I'm so sorry if it comes across like that)

And if someone is going to turn down my writing because of a single phrase, I don't think I care about whether or not that person likes my writing.

>>12070191207019

Eh, you're not insulting me by saying it's common. If I'm wrong, I've learned something new. If you're wrong, the story improves. Win-win, no? Recognizing something as "common" would require me to do a lot of reading on this site, though, which is something I definitely don't do. I'm going to go ahead and stop bothering you with replies now, but only so you can hurry up and write the next chapter.

>>12070321207032

Don't worry about "bothering me" - I'm reading a book right now. I also enjoy discourse like this with my readers.

My writing comes and goes with my inspiration - I think I'll probably write later, but no more chapters for any of my stories tonight.

Wait, Spoilers? Dark Souls has a story? Would explain why I am just randomly walking places for the hell of it. Why would someone go to Blighttown exactly?

Wait, YOU ALREADY BEAT THE DLC :O

HOW

just saying, i would love to see shining armor fight ornstein and smough and to see someone INVADE shining armor, i would love it.

>>12081571208157

I may do some side chapters if my mind wills it, but I hadn't planned on bringing them here. This character has done everything in Dark Souls except defeat Gwyn.

>>12074161207416

Time. I did my usual DEX/END/FTH build and worked my way through. Beat the DLC at level 72. It sucked. I recommend going in at no lower than 90 if you want a nice time of it.

>>12083311208331 I mean because Dark Souls hasn't been on PC THAT long. You must do late nighters. Still, I was massivly held back by the fucking bell gargoyles, those guys are complete assholes, and the hardest boss for a long time. With me at Blighttown now, no boss has been nearly as hard, except for the bridge dragon, which I chose to just skip. Especcially the fucking gaping dragon (AKA the vagina demon) which I beat on my 2nd try (first try I went in with half curse health and no estus flasks, and I almost won, second time I was on full cursed health and 3 estus flasks, so easy fight) and the Moonlight Butterfly (Butterfree) was nothing for a decent player.

>>12084041208404

Actually, I was only about thirty hours in when I beat the DLC. I've done a lot of playthroughs, so I know the little shortcuts and little things that make the game easier. I hopped through the Parish pretty easy (Hint - always use a 100% physical block shield, it makes the gargoyles a cinch, not to mention summoning Solaire) and skipped the Depths after rescuing Laurentius and getting the ember.(I've only ever fought the Gaping Dragon twice in my many playthroughs) and ran though 5fpstown pretty easily after summoning a Sunbro and Maneater Mildred.

It's all a matter of knowing what to do. You need help somewhere, just PM me.

>>12084891208489 I couldn't summon solaire, despite having talked to him all the way through and being human, and I DO have a shield that prevents all physical damage, the real trouble was fighting the gargoyles while the other essentially protects the other with a wall of fire. I had to level my short sword up to 5+ so I could kill the first gargoyle before the second could arrive. Those gargoyles set me back 7 hours to beat. With all other areas combined adding up to 6 hours.

BTW, why is the longsword such a useless piece of shit even when upgraded, short sword is better in every respect, including damage and speed.

EDIT: wtf is 5fps town? I heard Blighttown has the worst FPS, and I'm getting 20 fps at the worst on it.

On the console, Blighttown often falls to incredibly low FPS when you look at the busiest part of it. A common name for it is "5fpstown" because it drops SO MUCH.

I've noticed that they fixed it on the PC version.

You want to continue this convo, please do it in messages . What's your build?

Cool. Managed to write more. Sleep nao, bye.

Found no errors or oddities this time. Also, it's nice to see that NEITHER of them have a clue of where they are. Here's eagerly awaiting chapter 3!

I saw this and thought no way someone actually did this. I read it and so far liking it, hope to see more....fav

Prepare for Ponies gets a much-needed and well-overdue update. This is going to be sparsely updated people, and I'm going to try to be better about it, but I make no promises. Hard to get inspiration for it.

You mistakenly capitalized a few dialogue tags with speaking verbs in them. I haven't read the whole thing yet because I'm in class with about four minutes to go now, but will pick up where I left off in about half an hour-an hour. Most common instances of this mistake occur at "She/He said".

Other than that, great as always. I love how you're sticking to Dark Souls lore.

Ah Kalameet! The boss that can ever give Artorias a run for his money. Looking forward to see more!

>>15041961504196

Ugh. I beat Artorias the first time I fought him - Kalameet took me seven tries.

>>15043951504395

About the same here, getting the tail proved challenging, but doable as well. Manus... why didn't they tell me the tail wasn't cuttable! I died so many times trying.

>>11840291184029 You are my HERO !!! I'm surprised you didn't go with Sif but this is good to

This looks interesting...  Not really, but hey, it is the prologue.

I've been trying to think of what they are when they lose their humanity. I mean, everyone says "Well you aren't hollow" and you are still undead when you have humanity. Are you only hollow if you are insane?

Well, I’ve got eyes. Means I didn’t die

Wow, either that is incredibly stupid, or a very bad idea. fighting blind,,,

And then he was stuck in that room with the snake, dying until our friend finally found him.

14 weeks since this update? Oh the irony, I found this when I looked for another Dark Souls crossover, I was wondering what had happened to it, or if I had unfavored it.

Will this be updated?

>>20630102063010

When you're hollowed, look at your face. You don't have eyes.

Sometime. Honestly, of the four stories I've got going, it's lowest on the list.

So uh, how about that update?

>>21501622150162

You would

Sweeeeeeeeeeet this is good. Tracking/favourited!

I was ify about this story, but i think that if you get some great pre-readers, update more often "but i see why it takes you a while like you said its hard for you to find inspiration " and thats were asking for help comes in. in all honesty though really great story i can see this going far. So good luck with your story.

hmmmm...

Shining got Havels armor and Havels ring, yet she uses Favor and protection and hawk ring. Not to mention Orenstiens. I ditched boss armor before four kings, and went Black Iron and farmed the shit out of clams for twinkling titanite for a full +5 black iron set. working on paladins set(not including sanctus.) and i ditched favor about a quarter through the game. now I use critical ring, Havels, and I also use zweihander and silv knight strt. sword with sunlight shield.

Also, its Artorias of the Abyss
