Tragedy and Sad are conflicting tags.

1778303 Hey, Regidar! This is actually my friend from real life mentioned in my fic. You know, Coleton! He decided to try his hand at writing, and I encouraged him to do it.

1778308 Doesn't change the fact that tragedy and sad conflict. Choose one.

1778327 Guess where the inspiration came from? Huge A7X fan.

1778325 I must admit, I wouldn't expect "Sad" and "Tragedy" to conflict. But whatever, man.

1778335 Sure, just pick one. :twilightsmile:

1778333
That is true. I make tragic comedies.

1778352 God damn right. Although, that would go more with the "dark" tag.

1778376 Oh, like this?

Looking under the sink, he pulled up a box, and read the label aloud. “‘Rat Poison’. Huh, funny name for a cereal.” The hungry teenager poured the green pellets into his bowl. “I really need to go shopping sometime soon. This looks like gerbil food.”
Pouring the milk into the bowl, he left the kitchen and sat down at the table, spooning the “cereal” into his mouth. Chewing it, the pellets crunched unpleasantly. It also didn't taste quite that fresh. However, this boy was hungry, so he continued to eat.
“Man, this cereal is weird. It’s even staining the milk green.” Elijah finished eating the bowl, and then drank down the milk. Sitting at the table and staring ahead at the wall, something registered in his mind.
“Aw, fuck.” Elijah fell facefist into the bowl, and expired.

1778376 This is... really awkward. See, Coleton doesn't have internet, so he's entrusted me (tencentpartycannon) with his account until he can get to it. So when you talk to me, you talk to tencentpartycannon. and when you talk to tencentpartycannon, you talk to me.

:rainbowderp:

1778405 It's from one of my earlier stories "Your Guardian Angel".

Wait I didn't quite follow
What exactly was the lie

1780923 1778731 Sorry about that. This guy is my friend in real life, and my friend's fic wasn't really as good as I'd hoped it to be, but I kept my mouth shut so I wouldn't anger him. After an overwhelmingly negative response, he's begging me to edit it. Should I?

1781009 yes. I am not saying go and change the whole thing and make a new plot but some minor improvements could be made.
But I was wondering could you make an extra chapter with the mane 5 and scoots discovering rainbows plan and rushing to save him. And you could decide whether he survives or dies to make it emotional

1781145 yeah I've been thinking on this for a while and I've actually started writing it I may add it as a different story or a new couple chapters I don't know how long it will be or when ill have it out but I am working on it thanks for the feedback and I hope you enjoyed my mediocre fanfiction XD

This is a decent plot, but the grammar is pretty horrible.:facehoof:

2343510 yeah sorry iPhones really aren't great for fixing grammar but I will try and get better at it hope you enjoyed

u gav me feels, I hat u.

:fluttershysad:

2343510 (In Ghostbusters theme rhythm)

When your story is great
but needs correction
who you gonna call?
TENCENTPARTYCANNON (I'll see myself out)

But seriously, I've edited the last chapter (the thousand and something word chapter) as of writing this, and Deathpony45 and I are gonna get together some time soon to do revisions to the earlier ones. What basically happens is that I COMPLETELY rewrite the script and he takes the changes he likes and applies them :twilightsmile:

I'm glad that you decided to do an alternate timeline. Awesome story can't wait for more.

2424866 Thanks. Unfortunately it might be awhile before I can get the next part of the alternate timeline up. I'm currently editing the first two parts of the original fic with me friend Tencentpartycannon and I want to have those done before I continue on. Again thanks for the view and I'm glad you are enjoying it

Your welcome, and with how good the story has been up to now, it'll be well worth the wait.

2425532 XD wow thanks a lot I worked really hard on this story. And was obviously rather dissappinted with the negative feedback with which it was received I have the majority of part 1 edited and am contemplating writing another story too I made a of post if you want to check it out

I don't think that's quite true. Tragedy by definition leads to something sad. While it can be spun to be funny, that comedy still stems from something tragic that, while some may find it funny, others will obviously be saddened by it.

In fact:

Tragedy: The most confusing category by far, the Tragedy Category is often misunderstood and misused. A Tragedy has, by definition, a sad ending, but it doesn't mean the story is sad until that point; unlike a Sad story, it always, always will have a sad or bittersweet ending.

I pulled that right from the category explanation in fimfiction's faq. In this situation, it's like the square/rectangle relationship. A tragedy by definition is sad, but using the sad tag doesn't necessarily mean it's a tragedy. So the tragedy tag should really be paired with sad in most situations, unless of course you're doing a comedy with it. The only situations I can see it as actually conflicted is if the two tags are paired with comedy, or if the sadfic doesn't actually contain a tragedy in the first place. The last option usually isn't likely, since tragedy is one of the main tools to elicit a negative emotional response like that.

Whether you want to turn it to be funny or sad is personal preference. But tragedy and sad tags really will go together in most cases rather than be conflicting.

3251911 That was really my thoughts when I tagged it as such but thanks for reading X) whatd you think of the story overall?

Sorry about the late answer, I've been real busy with gta 5 coming out and all. I did get through the first chapter and some of the second though.

You're really ambiguous when it comes to certain things, which is okay for certain story elements, but it totally ruined the shock value of the events of the first chapter. Their relationship isnt very defined in the beginning, and you just tell us that theyre close instead of showing us that they are. Also you get redundant at times. You don't need to tell us the letter was from Rainbow six times in the same paragraph, we got it the first time. You want to cut out any unnecessary info for your story to have even pacing.

That's what I have so far. I'll get to the next couple of chapters as soon as I can.
