    Frosty Mug runs the premiere (and only) watering hole in Ponyville. He's been behind the pine for years, and listened to many a sob story, and joyous announcement. Enjoy his recollections of a rather strange week in which he served a different Element of Harmony every day, and a pony he would have never thought he'd have the honor of getting drunk. These are the memoirs of a Ponyville booze vendor.




    Warning: Shipping is mentioned, so if you're some kind of anti-shipping zealot, don't read it.

    Good Author Checklist:

    Solid prose and word variety [ ]

    Fundamental understanding of grammar and punctuation [ ]

    Questionable relationship with alcohol [X]

    One out of three ain't bad. :ajsmug:

    the last one is the only one that really counts, because everyone knows that alcohol gives writers mysterious powers to write good stories.

    As a general rule, shipping the elements grates on me, it just writes "FAN SERVICE" in big fucking letters over the fic it's in, I mean some of them so blatant it's almost laughable.

    Well, this is definitely one of the more unique(?) takes on ponies getting drunk and getting into lord knows what, at least of ones I've read on this site/overall. Though hopefully, rest aren't as sad as this kinda was (which'd probably require Sad tag, even though it is probably more Slice of Life right now with AJ finding out sometimes don't always get what/who we want, and dunno what others'll be like, just saying and kinda rambling, so feel free to ignore this part). Definitely funny (whether or not it's related to Rainbow/Big Mac storyverse of yours), how AJ stumbled upon them! :ajbemused: I'm curious as to if when Rainbow comes into the story, what she'll have to say, if Applejack has come clean by then. And having the bartender relate as a gay like AJ is, was definitely something for extra points, I think, even if a minor point or will be only brought up with Applejack (at least, at the moment). Definitely tracking to see what the other Elements of Harmony have to say when they get drunk, as well as the special pony he never expected to get drunk! :trollestia:

    That was great! The introduction made me kind of skeptical, because it seemed like the narrative would end up trying too hard (You know you've read stories like that) but this story didn't have that problem. As soon as the the action got going, the narration smoothed out a ton and came much more naturally. I also really like Frosty's analysis of Applejack and cross-referencing with past experience and all that as he communed, and Applejack herself seemed way in character the whole time.

    I'm not gonna lie, you've got me on edge! I can't wait for more installments!

    No. 9... sounds like the name of a pale ale. IPA, maybe?

    I'm partial to wheat beers myself.:ajsmug:
