    When Pinkie's friends can't pick a book to read, she decides to write her own with the help of an editor only she can hear. But why is Pinkie suddenly having memory lapses? Just what is the editor editing? And more importantly, will Pinkie's grammar and formatting ever improve?

    Special thanks to my prereaders and to Cozmosus for writing the story that inspired this one.

    Oh, god, lol. I knew a fix when Pinkie went into 1st person the moment I saw that, but lo and behold! You made the best damn story I ever read.

    All in a day's work. Now to make a short story to laugh at when I graduate high school.

    P.S. If you want the first chapter, I'll give you a link to it... it'll involve ponies in a war with humans, time-control (No Dr. Whoves), guns, magic, the usual shit. My class loved the first 2 chapters.

    Thank goodness Pinkie Pie got rid of that crazy editor-person.

    This is brilliant, by the way. :pinkiesmile:

    Unleashed a thousand year rain of burning cupcakes and eternal parties, until eventually all ponies are dead of exhaustion. Then, she shall travel the cosmos, bringing joy and death to every being she meets. Eventually, when her own universe is devoid of life except herself, she will smash the fourth wall to pieces, and eventually, destroy all life in every reality.

    Aww man... would you believe that I've been working on a similar concept for about a month? It's called Lyra the Stalker, and it was about Lyra being aware of her Author. And now you did it, only better. I'm a little unhappy now. This is what I get for delaying it so long, I guess. :pinkiesad2:

    Hmm. You know what? I think I smelled a lesson at the end, just on the way out. I'm not going to listen, though, because I've been a critical bastard for too long. :ajbemused:

    This was quite an enjoyable story. The premise was unique and funny, and I was entertained. You have won the approval of Inky, and thereby win the Inky Award. Shove that on your shelf and smoke one, boy.

    Yes, but Pinkie is a character, not a writer.  Clearly, the writer for the story(you?) thought these ideas were gold.

    My favorite part is that Pinkie kept getting dragged back to the center of the room.  that was like lolwut?

    Sounds like a plan. I'm actually writing a sequel called Rainbow Dash Makes Rainbows, and it should be far better than Pinkie and RD bake Cupcakes.

    Also, what do you think would happen if your Editor met my Narrator?

    #40 · 32w, 15h ago · · ·
    Reply 

    I don't know if anyone's played a Half Life 2 mod called "The Stanley Parable" but this definitely shares some key aspects. If you really liked the premise of your story, Scribble, I recommend you give it a go.

    Good stuff, both this fic, and the game.

    EDIT: I forgot one of the main points of my post, which is that, because of the aforementioned game, the editor had a very specific voice.

    >>1411256 :twilightoops: Narrator vs. Editor...

    Let's take it one step further: what if your Pinkie and Narrator met my Pinkie and Editor (Don't capitalize that!)? What if my Editor (Gaah!)went with your Pinkie and vice versa?

    Why do I like this idea more than I probably should? :ajbemused:

    Hmm... There are a few typos in this story.  You may want to fix them, but it's your prerogative. :ajsmug:

    Editors aren't always trying to write the story for you; sometimes they're just trying to keep it out of the red-and-black zone!  A story should operate with a modicum of common sense, after all. Unless it's a Pinkie story, in which case it runs on Pinkie Sense.  

    Now where am I going to find a banjo?

    This was fantastic!  Is the Editor's personality actually how you work on other people's stories, or was it a character of its own?

    I was writing a story with an extremely similar premise! Except in mine, it was Twilight that could hear the narrator. Now if I release it, everyone will think I'm unoriginal! :raritydespair:

    It doesn't help that this story is absolute brilliance!
