Hey, my name is Lyra, Lyra Heartstrings. I just inherited my grandparents whole estate, wealth, and all. Now, that's a good thing right? No. You see, I am required to move into the mansion for at least three months so I can get all the bits they had, which I would normally be fine with, but... the mansion just so happens to be located on the outskirts of a town called Ponyville... the most social, fun loving place in Equestria. That's all well, and good... the social, and the what not... for a normal pony, but I'm antisocial, antagonistic, and I just hate being around other ponies in general.
( First person fic as Lyra. A parallel story to Living with the music. You won't miss much if you do not choose to read the other story, save for the occasional cameo, but I do recommend reading it anyway.)
another lyra x bonbon?
people aren't really creative these days.
1681322 What makes you think that?

Read my first sentence.
1681347 Sorry, I've gotten used to dealing with cynical grammar Nazis, and I fear my constitution isn't what it used to be. Anyway, I won't answer that, because I really don't know. All I got down is how I want the characters to act.
P.S. I agree with you, but I'd rather read a Lyra x Bon Bon, over a 'My OC is the greatest, so I'm gonna ship it with everypony ever!' story any day. You may not see creativity coming from me, but I try my best to deliver quality. Sorry about getting confrontational with you, again, and please have a pleasant day.
I am intrigued...
You have an interesting concept. Albeit I was a bit skeptical starting to read it, the worries faded just as quickly as they were acquired.
All in all, you have a great concept and you can write thoughts and descriptions perfectly.
I did feel like some parts were rushed. Some scenes just felt like they lasted less than they should have. i.e. the starting scene could have easily been double its length IMO. Still, just a minor complaint.
I'm curious though, what are you planning to do with this fic? How long are you planning on doing it? i'm concerned because the ending seems like the shipping will get rushed in the next chapters or so and the thought really scares me. The biggest mistake a fic can make IMO is rushing the shipping. I don't want to see something this amazing be ruined for that. But if the fic is going to be only 5,000 - 10,000 words I guess you don't really have a choice but to somewhat rush the shipping.
1681395 You will not have to worry about rushed shipping. You should expect to see a considerable amount of chapters before any actual romance is hinted at. Also, about the slightly rushed descriptions, I wrote this in a hour, and a half last night, and edited it myself (I do not mean to boast, it is simply fact). So, I will simply spend more time on it then I did last night, problem solved.
I smell a great fanfic. Nice work!

Good
I really want to see how this turns out. Also 1 and a half hours?
Holy buck, you're talented! Insane props to you, good sir!
1681502 Its not talent, I just had a lot of practice. I have written, and co-written, about twenty fics that have been complete trash. I've deleted almost all of them, mostly because all the main authors have left this page (This used to be an organization), and because I'd rather the people that do attempt to read them not suffer a brain aneurysm.
If you are feeling brave, I've left one of the first 'acceptable' fics that have gained some kind of following on this page. It is called 'Dashing with rainbows', but I must warn you, if you do read it, I'm not responsible for your death.
1681500 Thank you. I hope you continue to enjoy it.

I wasn't being a grammar nazi
1681759 I never said you were. I simply said that I've become used to dealing with them, and I implied that in my dealings with said people, my constitution has taken a blow (I don't have as much self control). I am sorry about any confusion I caused, and wish that we can settle on good terms. So, I wish no ill will, and would like to apologize. Do you accept?
1681801
Yes
Oh, some Lyrabon.
I don't mind "overused" shippings when the writer is good and you sir have caught my attention dl.dropbox.com/u/31471793/FiMFiction/emoticons/misc_Lyra_dealwithit.png
1681979 Thank you so much.
1681322 Hush you. Lyra x Bonbon rule
Yay, LyraBon. I love reading these

sorry but it had to be done
i haven't actually read much lyrabon, but WGM has always delivered the best shipfics, so a like and a watch is definitely in order
Imma take a shot in the dark and say Lyras dads name is Dick and after his wife died he ended up getting radiation poisoning and becoming a giant Dick. Also gonna guess that Vinyl is the friend from the orphanage.
Also, (this will probably be explained later but) how did they find her to give her the inheritance if she didn't know who she was and why they left it to her not her father? Also, is she a Heartstring on her moms side or dads?
Her story made me think of the video for Lullaby by Nickleback.
Great story. Can't wait for more.
This is really epic. I love how you've made the characters. And Lyra's backstory was amazing! Really looking forward to seeing where you're going to take the story from here. Update soon!
Also remember my complaints from before? Ignore them. All of them. They are all gone already. Great work on that.
1774221 The inheritance, and lineage will be explained in due time. I just listened to the Nickleback song, and It fits pretty well. I suppose it wouldn't hurt to tell you that I was listening to a Coldplay song while jotting down notes on how I felt Lyra should act, and her back story. Here is the song...
Please don't judge my taste in music yet, I just fancy this song in particular.
I have a varied taste in music myself but it was a good song. But can't wait for the next chapter and hope it doesn't take too long.
