WTF.mov? ME GUSTA

Love it... Make more!

Everyone on FiM Fiction should read this. Not only it is funny as hell, but it highlights the annoying and overused cliches in the fandom. You sir have obtained 7 arbitrary grading points

Very well played and funny! Nice job!

Alicorn Twilight+Multiple Pinkie Pies+Fluttershy commiting a double entandre= awesome

>>166102

I absolutely, positively agree. But there should have been a mary-sue and/or a self-insert part; those are one of the worst.

Why can't I rate this more than 5 stars.

You know what would have made more funny? If you had said it just an average Monday morning. Oh yeah you got everyone besides Applejack. More please.

Hory sheet that was great.
Now you need to add an "Applejack does..." um... "Applejack makes..." uh... "Applejack..."
...
Huh.
I can't think of any Applejack cliches.

If this is normal in Ponyville, I would love to see an extraordinary day!
Or would that be a boring day in which nothing special at all happens?

So much smashed into too few lines.  I just about baked a pie to pie myself.

Here, have five stars and a fave. As someone else pointed out above -

Soo much punchlines

that was awesome. a truly enjoyable read.

could have used some CMC, though.

Thanks, everyone, for the responses! This one was so much fun to write, and seeing other people enjoy it as much as I did just brightens my day like you wouldn't believe. Oh yeah, and to repeat what I put on my blog here: if you see a bit of your own story in here, it's probably because I'm tracking it! I poke fun out of affection, not malice. Almost all of these themes exists in at least one story that I've very much enjoyed.

>>166156
Maybe I have brown hair. But in seriousness (as much as appropriate to the situation, at least), yeah, even after 4.5k words there remain many clichés that I avoided or simply couldn't fit in. Perhaps someday there could be a sequel? (Someday - right now, I'm just getting up to speed as a new writer by dabbling in as many genres as possible!)

>>166500
Indeed. Applejack bucks apples, and is southern. I got nothin'. We need more AJ clichés, get on it, people! I also had some trouble finding parts for Rarity and Fluttershy, all three of them get a bit less fanfic attention than they probably deserve.

Yes. RD has been shipped with everyone.

And the kitchen sink.

If fanfics are to be believed this actually happens every hour in ponyville. Not to mention a newcomer that is better than every element of harmony, every single character dies twice an hour to name a few things.

There is not enough applause in the world.

>>166500
The only thing that comes to mind is the occasional Applejack-does-weird-faces one, and thats not even all too common.

I loved it! Did anyone else sing along to pinkie's musical number? It needs to be put to music; it's a good song.

I have the strangest feeling that the title might be lying...

That...
was...
Amazing...

That... was just great.

WTF did I just READ?!?

Queen Inferno Blaze
that is the best name for evil celstia
awesome story

Always liked the title "Blinding Glory" more myself for Celestia's dark side, but an Inferno Blaze is fine too! Also, always impressed when someone manages to accurately write a character like Pinkie Pie (nevermind the whole little song, hah!)

Good job, cute/funny/fun read. Applause!

Ah , a cliche parody, gotta love em

sweet jesus that was a thing of beauty, you could have worked a derped teleport spell in there somewhere, but thats the only cliche I can think of you missed.

Oh god I cannot tell you how in love with you I am right now

man, woman, or six-eyed hellbeast, take me now you magnificent stallion

At least Twilight didn't botch any spells this time.

All my 5*s are belong to this. Well done.

Oh, I love this story! It's so cliche that the banality vanishes at the sign of its platitude.
Ahem... 5 stars anyway.

Parody all of the stories!

This is fantastic thus far. I eagerly look forward to seeing what else gets lampooned.

Also, what do they do with all of those humans, anyway?

One of the princesses has gone made and has frozen time again.  Ah, just another Friday in Ponyville.

that was fantastic! sooo funny! i love how you included the way twilight's listed events, from episode 3 "Applebuck Season." that's probably one of my favorite scenes of the show. i got a good laugh off yours too! :D

"...oh, frosting."
i liked that. that was good. this was a funny story.

Hehe you just about fit twelve different fan fictions in one..... i need more of this

tee hee. waking up with wings? a bit better than waking up as a dung-beetle.

This is one of the stories why I am so glad I found this site...thank you sir you made my day

>>166704
If this is you getting "up to speed" then I feel that waiting for the far-off sequel will be worth it.

>>166834
Thanks, that means a lot to me, because I've seriously considered trying music too.

>>167236
Eternal is in like my top 5 favorites ever, I'm glad I could give you something back!

>>167534



>>167751
Due credit to Butterscotch Sundae for that particular oath.

"I've already achieved ascension to alicornhood, patched up a pulverized pegasus, incorrectly interpreted innocent interactions (with comically chaotic consequences), and been serenaded by a squad of symphonious simulacrums of a particular pink party pony. How much more interesting could today possibly get?"

<----- great alliterations! You're a genius.

yes.
well.
by now my mind vaguely resembles a confused pretzel aswell.

awesome job.

Gwwaaaahh?
This is too good. Gave me a headache trying to comprehend what was happenning

A very good deconstruction X3. The Rainbow Dash "having weird masturbatory fetishes" cliché is really, really overused (I will admit that I like the idea of RD being lesbian, just like Applejack) and I've also seen too much Fluttershy sexual innuendo jokes...

Only thing I'm missing is the mandatory "Cupcakes" reference, or maybe it's really well hidden...

Oh, and you want a Applejack cliché? "Very easily angry about unfair things and later realizing that's she has been wrong." Something I see quite often with Applejack, mostly in AppleDash fics where Applejack is startled by a Rainbow Dash in love.

Another Applejack cliché that might be a bit of a stretch: She always seems to be the childhood friend that tried a relationship with another mare.

"A high-pitched keening pierced the veil of dreams."

Have you ever read something so sickeningly well-written and touching that left you feeling infuriated at the writer because you were unable to claim such a sentence for yourself? YOU ARE BRILLIANT!

"Gentlecolts..."

>>168176

Wait, Rainbow Dash and weird masturbatory fetishes is a cliche? I've only ever seen the shipping fetish. I must conduct more research...

I don't know what I just read, but I love it so much.

"I'm so hungry I could eat a human." >

Even though I've been writing on here since early December, this is the second fan fic I've ever read. Gotta say, it was a great second fan fic to have read. Great job, my friend.

Alicorn, Checklsits, hero
Clones, musical numbers. At least no Cupcakes references
Shipping... with everything
Over reacting
Meeting human, ships with humans.
Turns evil. Hey, at least no Molestia or Trollestia, right?

Too bad AJ doesn't have any cliches, it would've been funnier. Wait, you forgot CMC destroys everything and gets covered in tree sap!

Rarity's melodrama isn't really a cliche, it's just her personality. She overreacts in the show regularly. Same thing with Twilight and checklists. But, these parts of canon are used A LOT in stories.

>>166500
>>166704
Like Elektro said, "AJ angrily overreacts" is trite. I've come across many: "Yer a filly-fooler? That just ain't raght!" or "I can't believe you did [insert offending action].  You disgust me. (Spitefully leaves crying best friend.)"

The only thing it's missing is making fun of the large amount of second person "love stories" :|

Can hardly breathe for laughing.

Wow, I'd completely forgotten RD-broken-wings fics.  

>>167843
And where'd you get the whole Pinkie Pie in mirrors bit?           

pinkie pie does 6 impossible things before breakfast every morning, then has lunch at milliways. using her own reflections to help her out is par for the course.

MARFARGL!

Twilight turns into an Alicorn = Ugh (not this again)
Mention of possible Trixie/Twilight fis = Oh come on! (How original)
Human arrives = Wait a min... (I now had a slight suspicion)
Mention of another human (possibly a Brony) = OMFG!> (You are the best writer EVER!)

This is what the nexus of the multiverse-MLP:FiM-fanfic-section must look like
-Glassed

This was a deliciously insane parody of this exact website. Nicely done, let me compliment you on this one. You are definately awesome :)

LOVE. THIS. In particular, I love the subtlety of the humor--there is no huge lamp-shading or neon signs announcing This Is A Satire, and I like that quite a bit. Specifically, I enjoyed the bit with Rainbow Dash and her love interest. When it finally clicked in my head, I actually laughed out loud and exclaimed to my spouse, who was sitting nearby, "Everything but the kitchen sink! I GET IT. Everything but the kitchen sink!"

And then had to read that section to explain just why I was laughing.

I also quite enjoyed the footnotes and the idea that Twilight would have "quandaries."

Thanks for writing and for sharing!

Rarity: Do you know how beat her?
Twilight: I expect so, it's that sort of day.

But seriously, I love this! If I could give more than five stars, I would!

Too bad I didn't get the RD sink shipping... btw, would like to see such a strange clopfic

- Tendogten

Wonderful piece of satire, I think you touched up on just about every cliche in fanfiction.

After so many plot twists, I guess Twilight has completely stopped giving a shit.

You should do one of these staring each of the major characters POV. I think Celesticas will look like this,
Guard "Ma'am something weird going on in Ponyvilla."
Celestial "What is it this time."
Luna "Fifty bits says it's world ending."
Everyone "You on"
Celestial "Go on"
Guard "(in part cliches)"

>>168176 >>169141
Ah, the Cupcakes references. Although I've enjoyed many Cupcakes-inspired / Cupcakes-universe works (some quite a lot), I'm generally disappointed by fics that include references to it. In addition to bumping uncomfortably against the fourth wall by referencing an unrelated story, they usually show up in otherwise lighthearted pieces, and add a totally unnecessary dark element. Now, it might have fit alright into this story. I'd already hit RD's broken wings, although I was fairly gentle about describing her condition. I actually had an idea of how one would go in case I needed it - but Pinkie's scene ended up feeling more than adequate without it, and I was perfectly happy to toss it into the great recycle bin of decent ideas that had to make way for better ideas.

But if anyone's curious, it probably would've looked something like...

---

This is normal for Pinkie Pie. She's acting normal. Everything is normal.

It was true. Relief washed over the beleaguered mare as the realization set in, soothing her frazzled nerves with a sense of serene and all-encompassing calm. Wrapped safely in her newfound serenity, she began to inspect the (obviously completely normal) scene more closely. Her curiousity was immediately awakened when she started to notice differences between the real Pinkie and the reflections. A full-length mirror next to an oven showed a pink pony wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and the next reflection over seemed to always favor her left hoof. Three or four of them wore their manes straight, and their bright smiles were so obviously false that they might as well have been painted on. One, she realized, literally was - the mare was wearing a layer of cosmetics thick enough to give Rarity a heart attack on the spot.

Momentarily fascinated by the scenes, she glanced over to the mirror that she had stopped next to. Her serenity faltered and she tensed as she saw that the straight-haired pink pony within it had lifted an unusually sharp-looking knife in her mouth, and was purposefully approaching the purple-coated mirror alicorn who gazed back through the glass. Twilight froze for a moment as she watched the armed pony come up quietly behind her reflection, and...

"Cupcake?"

Ponies are not, as a general rule, well known for their ability to perform standing jumps. Twilight Sparkle was no exception.¹ In this case, however, she managed to both lift herself half a meter in the air, and turn a full hundred and eighty degrees to face the pony who had addressed her. Pinkie Pie, poofy-haired and smiling warmly, was holding up the aforementioned pastry in a hoof.

"Oh. Uh, thanks." Twilight, feeling a bit silly, accepted the cupcake and levitated it to her mouth, then paused. "There aren't, uh... I know this is kind of a weird question, but there aren't any... ponies in this, are there?"

Pinkie Pie stared at her for a moment, an expression of shock in her wide, innocent eyes, and Twilight felt ashamed for having voiced the concern. Then the pink pony burst into a fit of giggles. "Oh, Twilight, you silly pony. Of course not!" The alicorn started giggling too, sheepishly, and her friend continued, "That's the Thursday special. It's only Tuesday!" In the mirror, unnoticed by either mare, both the pink pony and the alicorn were conspicuously missing.

Then, before Twilight could properly process what she had just said, Pinkie Pie twitched. More accurately, all of the Pinkie Pies twitched.

¹ In the latest now-annual Ponyville Iron Pony Competition, Rainbow Dash had awarded her the prize for Least Athletic Competitor. Twilight had never been able to conclusively prove that the award had been made up on the spot, but she had her suspicions.

>>168245


Just about every time I log onto this site, actually.

>>169523
Well, I had to have some originality in there, or I would've gotten bored. The original seed of the idea that she could do such things was, of course, at the end of Green Isn't Your Color. ("And you were doing so well!")

>>170171
Subtlety is one of my great pleasures in life. (Sadly, it's also one of my biggest faults. As often as not, I end up having to explain not only the joke that I told, but the fact that I had even - in my own mind - told one.) I'm glad you appreciated it.

>>170654
A SinkDash clopfic? Yeah, that's the kind of idea that's just unique enough to catch my interest. I'd have a lot of research to do before I could really make that kind of story shine, though, I don't read nearly enough of them. (Yeah, I just called reading clopfics "research" - and meant it. Add that to my list of "Things I Never Thought I'd Say". )

Hey, you stole my story idea! I'm gonna sue your face off... OHWAIT.

Clinically Jaded Twilight is fourth-best Twilight.

Also, leaving AJ out of the story is probably a cliche unto itself.

Ah, the good old cliché storm.

A very well done execution of a classic comedy premise.

Well done!

>gets a few pages in
... oh well that's just silly lol

When Twilight just shrugged off the wings, I was all " what."
But then Spike was unconcerned and then Dash showed up... And I decided Right, this is a parody.  And a darn good one too.  You had a nearly perfect ratio of to and the ending topped it off with a cherry.

Oh I see what you did there. It's not "canon Ponyville" it's "fanon Ponyville".



SPOILERS. so STFU.








So:
>Twi Alicorn parody: Great.
>RD's contradictory levels of durability: Thank you.
>RD shipping with everything including (literally) the kitchen sink: Solid gold hilarious.
>Random humans EVERYWHERE!: I prefer the crossovers myself over the OCs.
>Fluttershy x human innuendo: AARGH FLASHBACK FLASHBACK PCSD EPISODE. *(Post Clopfic Stress Disorder)
Pinkie doing something NUCKING FUTS without a "Cupcakes" reference: I love you now.
Twilight regularly kicking Evilestia's ass when needed: I think I'm having this fic's baby.  

Loved. Every. Line.

hahaha
this is what i like best

Love, love, love this parody!

This summarizes everything of FIM Fiction.

Love it :D
The only AJ cliche I could think of is, well, AppleDash xD since it seems so common (for a good reason! >_>)

I think I have a new measuring stick for how insane a 'fic can get in one story.

Nice work.

This was clever, made me giggle a bit. I love this version of Twilight.

I loved the very fanciful and very sophisticated writing style juxtaposed to the extremely blatant lampshading of the commonly misused elements in MLP Fanfiction. My personal favorite would be all the Human in Equestria references, and the brushie-brushie joke which I got almost as soon as I read it.

The last part with Queen Inferno Blaze was rather darling, and a very befitting end to the very amusing meta joke that was this fanfic.

Oh snap, I didn't put the pieces together, but you shipped rainbow dash with the kitchen sink, literally.
This is now parody #1.

Though short, this rivals Sparkle's Law.

...Wat.

No but seriously, this is awesome. Completely bonkers and no one really gives a damn. I love it.

I'm very new to the fandom (weeks old at best) but even I can spot what a cliché looks like :P This was an awesome parody indeed!

By the way, seeing as to how clichés become clichés by dint of being overused... can you recommend some good stories where these clichés are used? This must be old hat for most of you out there but us newcomers need to check the old favourites to get up to speed!

Congrats on a great job!

>>175466

I can recommend some of my personal favorites (many of which, of course, used the themes before they were cliché).

(SPOILER ALERT for some of these)
Alicorn/Immortal Twilight
- Spark by AVeryStrange is a TwiLuna romance with an awesome action-packed twist
- Pony Psychology by Saddlesoap Opera is a really deep look at, well, pony psychology among other things
- More recently, Not My Destiny by Smayds is a solid alicorn Twilight story that's well worth reading despite the now-cliché premise
Twilight and Trixie - The Ballad of Twilight Sparkle by Gravekeeper (incomplete, but the author does intend to resume it) is a romantic-ish Twixie comedy
Human in Equestria - I haven't found one I truly loved yet, but I can recommend an Equestrian on Earth story: Interview With a Princess by Hoopy McGee
Pinkie being crazy but in a good way - The Party Hasn't Ended by Butterscotch Sundae is a lovely romance between Pinkie and Dash, wrapped inside a conflict with a very interesting antagonist
Evil Celestia - The Empty Room by Wanderer D (incomplete, but close) is a dark adventure story with a title image that I want to hug every time I see it (I'm not quite sure why, there's just something about goth fillyfooler evil twin Twilight that I can't help but love)

Some of them, like RD breaking her wings, I've really got nothing. But I'm always up for recommendations myself, too. Hope you enjoy those selections!

Words fail me.

Too perfect! Is this on EqD yet?

I really, reall really, don't even know.

>>175599 eeyup..
also inferno blaze sounds good, but  i thought differently of the name...

Nightmare moon =
something bad night related + celestial body

something bad day related + celestial body =
Scorching Sun
Flaring Star

This was so hilarious. I actually had to take a break from reading because I was laughing so hard.

>>166500

AJ's a silly pony? Does that count as a cliche?

"The lavender alicorn's mind, which had just finished rearranging its internal workings into something vaguely resembling a confused pretzel..."
Oh dear lord. I completely lost it here. This thing... I have no idea how it manages to fill my head so full of fuck so fast, but I love it. This is certainly the best parody fic ever xD

I certainly hope this will be continuing by parodying other aspects of fanfiction ^^ I can't wait for the inevitable Fo:E spoof. With such a large subfandom, it's bound to happen. xD

Or applejack's stubbornes on believing something until proven otherwise.
Isn't that bit of a cliche?

I'M THROWING MONEY AT THE SCREEN BUT NOTHING IS HAPPENING

Jolly good work with this one! The invisible crowd of fanatic fanfic readers demand more cliché parodies!

This story is crazy awesome and I love it.

Well-written, vivid, clever. This is a solid piece of writing. Unfortunately, it fails to meet the only requirement that has been set for fictional writings: it lacks a story. From this chapter, I see no conflict and no real reason for me to want to scroll down to to find out what happens next. From what I can tell, the closest that this comes to having a "conflict" is Twilight's unrelatable, ODC need to stay on schedule, and the unexpected events that simply leave her patiently waiting for an opportunity to continue doing so. The way you write is full of color and even reminds me of Faust's directing on the actual show. You are a great story-teller. Now start telling stories!

Ah, satire, my old friend.
An excellent story, Gentlecolt.

>>176374
Have you tried turning it off and on again?

>>179147
I knew I forgot something! But seriously, thanks, I'm glad you liked the presentation of it. I promise my next piece will have more plot. (A double entendre, perhaps? We'll see.) I'm moving on to a new story type for now, but I'm coming back to satire some day for sure - this was fun!

Brilliant! How will Twilight get out of this?

At first, I didn't even realize it was a parody of FIMFiction tropes.  After seeing how jaded Twilight was, and how she'd finally learned to just roll with the punches because nothing even registers on her weirdness scale any more, I thought it was just a parody of the show, given that all these weird things have happened, and all centering around Ponyville.

Then you broke Dash's wings and shipped her with the kitchen sink, and I figured it out.

This was a brilliant parody of the fanon.  You covered most of the biggest, most-often used tropes among MLP fanfiction writers.  Although the Pinkie Pie scene was my favorite part, I loved the whole thing.

that was straight-up awesome. you, sir, are a wordsmith, particularly in the case of pinkie's song and twilight's alliterative rant. i loved how tropariffic it is and how genre-savvy the character are.

moar.

That was incredible. I would LOVE to have more.

Six more, outlining a typical week of Ponyville. Needs things like the CMC's unearthing another big evil or something, return of background characters no one cares about, Derpy being anything but Derpy, more insane revelations and stuff... Oh, you know what I'm talking about, you already have the hang of it and don't need suggestions.
