    RandomHero's Stories (6)


    (This is the result of my one hour writing challenge...inspired by an episode of Days of Our Lives. If you are unfamiliar with Laughing Stock, take a look at his other stories.)

    Twilight Sparkle catches her husband Laughing Stock cheating...pretty self explanatory.

    One hour challenge.  No way this will be good.  But because I'm bored and the title interested me I shall look anyway.

    Shallow world development.

    Little description and detail.

    Evidence of circlejerk.

    Twilight out of character.

    The punchline...

    OOOOOHHHHHH I see.  That makes sense then.

    Congratulations on your redemption   :yay:  But next time, cut back on dialogue and use more description.  This was good but it would have been even better if I had developed an actual emotional connection to the story and then got hit with the punch line.  Which is very possible in an hour and less than two thousand words if you know what you're doing.  Good luck.

    So THAT'S what he was cheating on, Laughing Stock is probably right Shining Armor and Mrs. Cake probably cheat on their diets too. :rainbowlaugh:

    Thanks for the advice!:pinkiesmile:

    Honestly, this was really intended for the people who have read my other Laughing Stock related stories, but you have a good point.:twilightsmile:

    I think the best part of the story is the 1111 words.

    Reading synopsis: Chess

    Pinkie mentioned: Diet

    Conclusion: Diet

    Really, this story would have actually been good about a year ago, but at this point these kinds of one-shots are predictable to the point of banality. It would have actually been more surprising if you had played it straight.

    Now it's circlejerk.  I had a feeling Laughing Stock was an original character that you had worked with before.

    You can get away with circlejerk if you remember that your story is going to end up on the latest story feed on the homepage.  Keeping that in mind, always introduce the audience to an original character as if it's everyone's first time seeing them.  Make sure they're always established.  That way when it appears on the latest story feed, new readers like myself won't be confused or pushed away.

    An example of this would be Journey of Graves.  I don't know if you're familiar with this series.  If not, I highly recommend it.  But I actually came in at the (current) end of it.  Though it's a fan fiction series with an original character and multiple stories, the author always reintroduces Graves at the beginning of every story.  So I was still able to treat it as a stand-alone piece and enjoy it on my first read.  Then I was encouraged to go back and read it from the beginning.  Just like that, that author (GentlemanJ, if I remember correctly) has a new reader.

    You could do the same thing to a lot of people if you handle your original characters and continuities properly.  Now go forth and engage your readers old and new alike, my apprentice.

    The fake out, a classic standup routine.  This seemingly simple gag is actually one of the more difficult laughs to achieve, as two comics must work together with presise timing and believable acting to pull it off.  It has been used by entertainers for centuries and has been overdone in fanfiction.

    The point is, you tried way too hard and gave it away from the start.  However, lenience is given as you had only an hour to write.  Also, having a non-OC primary would have helped immensely.

    I'm not going to read this yet; I feel obligated to read the others first.

    But, tell me, by 'Days of Our Lives', do you mean the Friends show that Joey stars on, or is there something else I don't know about?

    heh, you actually got me. I was thinking he cheated in some sort of game, like Hide-and-Go-Seek, or go fish like when he was in the cabin playing with Cadance and Luna.

    Great job, love your series with Laughing Stock, and (hopefully) we can have a sequel with him married. XD

    :rainbowlaugh: I've started on the sequel to Her Big Brother, His Big Problem (this will be the third story in the series). It will be called First Comes Love, Then Comes Marriage...

    I'm assuming you can figure out what happens in the upcoming story just by the title.:raritywink:

    In case you aren't familiar with the rhyme, Twilight gets knocked up.:twilightsheepish:
