Silver Hoof


I used to write. Depression killed that for years. I might get back to it someday.

E

Pinkie's life is a normal one... At least, as normal as it could be for a Party Pony. But lately, she has been noticing... things... Strange things that are hard to explain. Ponies that don't seem to be there when she looks directly at them, buildings that were there just yesterday, but don't exist today. And then Princess Luna makes a startling revelation to the Pink mare that explains- as well as shatters- everything that she knows about the world.

Tragedy.
Sad.
Downvote and pay more fucking attention to the mod blogs.

1542115 I want to congratulate you on being first, as well as posting the first ever gif on any of my stories. :pinkiehappy: :yay:

I like it. continue on, my friend!

1542190 Thank you. At least some ponies read the fuckin' story before thumbing down. And for that, we thank you. - Daniel Tosh

This is gonna get trippy. I mean like Matrix trippy.

1542183
Tell me. Tell me, I dare you.
What's the difference between a Sad fic and a Tragedy fic on FiMFiction?

1542281 Okay, i admit that i wasn't paying attention when i tagged the story. but in my defence, it was three in the morning, and i was trying not to fall asleep. I did change them though. im sorry for snapping like that. and how did it get past moderation with the conflicting tags anyway? look, I don't want an enemy on this site. I truly am sorry for the outburst. as for the difference between the two tags, sad is things like 'My Little Dashie' and 'Where You Can't Follow'. Tragedy would be a fic where somepony very important dies a horrible death, or gets raped.

Okay, now I'm unsure as to what I should label this fic as. So i'm gonna finish it and then let the readers decide.

1542335
No.
A Tragedy is a fic without a happy ending. Ponies die. Ponies get irrevocably hurt. And there is no happy ending. My Little Dashie was a tragedy. Where You Can't Follow was a tragedy.
A Sad fic is one where bad shit happens. Yeah, it's really bad. Equestria is dying. Celestia is out of the picture. Rainbow's wings get torn off. But in the end, it's for a reason. In the end things get better. Fallout: Equestria was Sad. Past Sins was Sad.

Now, if you don't want enemies, don't piss people off and don't post things when you're too tired to think properly.

1542384 Just looked up both My Little Dashie and Where You Can't Follow, and they're both tagged as.... you guessed it! Sad! Look up the fics before blabbin' about them.

She wakes up the next morning. She checks her calender. It marked today as... Apple Bloom's cutie mark celebration? Huh, she could have swore she changed it yesternight. Oh well. "Pinkie!" Mrs. Cake calls, "Don't forget to make the cupcakes for Apple Bloom's party!"


And so on. :pinkiesmile:

Just because the authors tagged them as 'Sad' doesn't mean it's right. Look at Wanderer D.'s latest post and the damned FAQ.

1542457 Well, why don't you waste your time correcting them? Or better yet, leave the correcting up to the mods!

1542477
Well, two reasons. The first isn't necessary, per say, because they're older works; yours is a work in progress, so correcting errors is a lot more important. The mods are not omnipresent and hardly infallible, and having them correct some dipshit on the proper use of his tags is a waste of their time.
And don't change the fething subject. This is your shit to handle, so why don't you address the issue I raised instead of using a red herring to take the heat off of you?

1542500 Okay..... look, i have a lot of other shit going on right now. I'm not used to such.... shall we say..... blunt criticism. I apologize, and from this point on, I will welcome your- and everyone else's- criticism. I have taken down the conflicting tags, and I am leaving it up to the readers to decide what it should be.

1542571
Blunt, eh? I must say I've heard worse.
Basically, you need to ask yourself if it has a good ending. If it does, it's Sad. If it doesn't, it's a Tragedy. Simple as that.

1542576 Well, you see... wait, have we resolved the fight? anyway, back to what i was saying. The ending will be both happy and sad. or maybe i'm wrong. could you read it once it's finished and tell me what you think it should be? I lean toward tragedy, but i have doubts.

1542351
If you plan to end it sad, its a tragedy, if it could become happy, its just sad. I think that's what that blog said. (Still a weird difference though)

1542384
Miss-tagging a fic as tragedy and sad instead of one or the other seems like the least harmful thing that someone could do. A completely innocent mistake, and a mistake that deserves neither your chastisement nor your dislike. If you want to give criticism BY ALL MEANS do so, but nobody ever benefited more from someone berating them for a mistake than if they have just given some constructive advice. This doesn't matter so much now that this is resolved, but my point still stands.

1542597 Hey! I think we may be resolving things! Calm your tits!

1542590
Depends on if you want to keep arguing or not.

1542597
At first, it was because Silver Hoof was blatantly ignoring an issue a mod brought up; I don't think I was being very abrasive about it at first. Then Silver Hoof started attacking me and everything I said instead of, you know, looking into what I was saying for a moment.

1542638
Yes your right, I tried to fix my comment.

but... um....

Downvote and pay more fucking attention to the mod blogs.

... little abrasive.

1542638 I do like to argue, but i think the point is settled. And like i said, I don't deal well with blunt criticism. But thank's for the chance to banter with such a sharp mind.

1542660
Thanks for the compliment and sorry for getting a bit out of hand there.

1542667 Will you read the story? And then decide if u no likie? it would be appreciated.

Apple Jack

Applejack.

confidant

Confident.

Was the paragraph with all of the shipped couples really necessary? It might be just me generally not liking them all, but it just seemed unnecessary; they're never mentioned again.

Final verdict? Too short. Barely 1k words here, and that's a minimum, not a good number. If you want to kick your story off, kick it off with the first chapter! Don't write a thousand words, write four thousand as you get the the heart of what the fic is about. There just isn't enough for me to have an opinion abut right now.

1542720 I write short chapters most of the time. I think the only ones with more are 'The Unseen' and... heh, i forgot the title of the other one. i'll look it up. as for the shippings, it was intended to show how perfect thing were in Equestria, and then to show the strange things happening to Pinkie. Will change typos.

I'v decided to label as Sad b/c ending isn't horribly tragic. I honestly expected it to go differently.

:rainbowderp:
Dude... :pinkiecrazy:
DUDE....
DUDE....
This is definitely tragedy.
Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go put my brain back together again. :trollestia:

1542281 Tragedy is largely when a certain character is killed, permantley disabled, or something along those lines. Sad is more for things like a character falls ill, gets badly hurt, or goes through some sort of emotional tramua. I'm not 100% sure if that's accurate though. :unsuresweetie:

Well the ending was a big surprise but other than that I'm not sure how I'm suppose to feel. :applejackunsure:

1547268
No.

Not all sad stories are tragedies. A tragedy necessitates a ray of hope in the end for the character to, literally, fail at. There MUST be something that motivates the character and gives them hope, and at the end the TRAGEDY is that they freaking fail at it, through circumstances outside of their control, or, more classically, their own folly.

Straight from the mouth of Wanderer D.

I can only say this in yoda, 'Bucked my mind, this story has':pinkiecrazy:

1547301 Why are other people answering that question when you asked me? I don't get it.:ajbemused:

1553216 Pinkie gets to have her world back. She gets to have her friends back. And she gets to meet them in every different way possible. Plus, this time, it's going to last. If you didn't notice in the A/N, this was my explanation for how the show got started. And the show is still going. The illusion shal not fade this time around!

Ouch. Right in the feelings :applecry:

Have a thumbs up. I liked this. :pinkiesmile:

Sees a story that seems promising.
Reads about a same-gender pairing.
Closes down.

If you have actual criticism for the story, share it. Otherwise, stay pleb.
Sorry for late reply, haven't had access to a laptop for a couple years.
