Thanks to Starlight Glimmer's necromancy, Gertie the Dinosaur walks Equestria for the first time in over 150 million years.
Mistakes are made. Many, many mistakes are made. An outrageous comedy in the old-school toon style.
For the Who Crossed Over My Little Pony? contest.
Gertie's film can be viewed in full on Wikipedia, along with the surviving footage from the never-finished sequel. This story draws on both for inspiration.

This fic earns it's 'Random' tag. -AlwaysDressesInStyle

Hi new friends! -Izzy Moonbow
This was the stupidest thing I'd ever read. Then I read your back catalog. Hahahahaha This is still in the top 5. -Woody Woodpecker
I hate this story so much I'm going to downvote Estee's entire back catalog. Again. -Judge Doom
As a yacht-rock enthusiast, I was glad to see this vital Eclipse Cross representation.
I hope he makes it. He's got such a long way to go, to make it to the border of Mexicolt.

He will. He's on the run, no time to sleep.
LMAO
If I had a nickel for every time an entry in this contest brought in Gertie the Dinosaur, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.
In any case, this was a story. More or less. It was certainly a pile of mayhem, potshots, references, and very well-crafted dialogue cards. (I did appreciate the gag with the Crusaders' G3 predecessors.) But ten thousand words is a lot for random comedy to carry, and it definitely overstayed its welcome. There are only so many ways to show wacky antics as a reanimated dinosaur eats everything within reach and a few things that shouldn't be. More than anything, this needed a trim. Possibly with a chainsaw. And I hope you plan on patching up those cracks in the fourth wall.
Still, thank you for it and best of luck in the judging.

Very weird, and I assure you, I was as shocked as you. One of the reasons I picked her was because I figured no one else would. Making this even weirder, the other was released directly before mine:

What makes this weirder is that up until this contest, Gertie had never been ponified at all. I couldn't find a shred of fanart or another fic that had her crossed over with MLP previously. Maybe someone has and I just couldn't find it, but from what I could see this was new crossover territory for the fandom.
Thank you! This is what I was going for, ridiculous and ridiculously thin plot.
The intertitle cards were created from screencaps of Gertie's movie, and the font I used is G1 MLP (or rather the closest I've found: De Vinne Ornament D). The G3 CMC references are quite possibly the only subtle thing about this story. The rest of the jokes are as subtle as... well, a dinosaur eating a city.
I can't argue that. This one went quite a bit beyond ten thousand words, coming up exactly one word short of the twelve thousand word limit (if you add the words on the intertitle cards to the published total).
As for overstaying its welcome, the same can be said for FIM itself.
Not a chance!
I'm pulling a Starlight Glimmer and escaping to another town entirely to leave somepony else to clean up the mess. 
Sweetie is a Elizabeth? Is canon?
Brigada A ¿Somos tan viejos?

Nope, not canon. If I remember correctly, the only characters ever given middle names on the show were Pinkie and Maud. Full names: Pinkamena Diane Pie and Maudileena Daisy Pie respectively.
11274220
The A-Team, yes.

Aahhhh. Gracias.
11274753
De nada! I apologize, my Spanish is limited to random words. I'm unable to answer your other question as it seems to be losing something in the translation. I'd rather ask for clarification in English than trust a translation website.
11274662
Of course. Thanks you for the answer...My english ia than bad.
11274774
Reasonable, my question was who is the main character in the last chapter?
Deepl.

Tag-A-Long who was a background pony in a few episodes dressed as a Filly Guide:

She's had a bunch of fandom names: Thin Mint, Ginger Snap, and Tag-A-Long being three of them.

Ahh. Gracias por responder.
An oddball ghost happened across your fic and read it. Have a review!
