TheTalentlessPony


I make fanfiction sometimes. Just call me 'Talentless'.

E
Source

Just after discovering her cutie mark, Fluttershy met the stallion of her dreams, Big Macintosh.

...Okay, he was still a young colt back then, and 'Big' didn't exactly describe him either; he was just eye-level to the shy pegasus.

That's beside the point though.

Now, after hearing that said-stallion is the big brother to one of her friends, she becomes excited to meet up with him again.

But how is she meant to do that, when Big Macintosh is so... big?

A Big MacintoshXFluttershy ( MacinShy / FlutterMac ) fanfiction.

I like this.
I'ma going to favorite it and such.

Er, and I am an editor of sorts.
I see no grammatical errors, but if you need an editor, I'd be glad to help.

SO CUTE! :rainbowkiss: More Please! :pinkiehappy:

HNNNGH! Very good start!

Okay, first off it's maybe a little rushed. Take the time to put in some more details about the scenery and such. Don't be afraid to stretch out a little with that.

With my only criticism out of the way, I fully support this fic. FlutterMac, in my opinion, is simply too cute not to ship. Doing it with them as children is a nice twist on it that I haven't seen before. And makes it even cuter.

Think I'll track this for a bit to see where you go with it. Keep up the good work!

O-oh my gosh...WHERE DID ALL THESE COMMENTS COME FROM!? *hides away in corner* ./////. Y U ALL READ MY AVERAGE FANFICTION?

I can't reply to all of you, so I can only say, thank you so much for your favorites and comments. You make me a very happy pony. :heart:

Oh! That'd be totally cool if you wanted to! It's always nice to have someone around to read over your work. See, I'm really harsh on myself...a lot. so it'd be so awesome to have a second opinion.

Okay, this one takes a little explaining...

First off, sorry that it seemed so rushed, and also sorry if this seems like a bad excuse, but it was New Years while I had inspiration for this story, so I was running around like a drama!Rarity getting ready while this was in progress. :raritydespair:

I'll try to do better next time, and maybe even edit this chapter sometime to put some more detail in. Pinkie Promise! :pinkiehappy:

( EDIT: I lengthened the chapter a little bit. Only by about 181 words, but hey, that's still something. )

And yes; I totally agree. Fluttermac is just...all of the cute!

Them as a young filly and colt wasn't something I've seen before either. I thought of it while thinking back to Cutie Mark Chronicles, where Big Macintosh and Fluttershy had different body styles than the other ponies, and I found myself comparing them a little bit~

Fluttermac is best ship. 'Nuff said.

There is a whole lot of dialogue in this one. It makes up a lot of the chapter. Not saying there is anything against dialogue, but it'd be nice to have some description too, so that the readers could have a better mental picture.

"Oh, and I can't forget about you two either."
"And you."
"And you as well."
"Oh, and the birds need to be fed to!"
"And then the mice have to be taken care of."
"I most certainly can't forget about the bunnies either..."

This little bit right in the beginning should be in one, instead of many different quotes, unless you add in some action, like:
"Oh, and I can't forget about you two either," she said, rushing over to a pair of cats.
A puppy walked over to her and whined a little, "And you."

You get the picture.
Some things aren't capitalized, like:

She then spun around and rushed past the orange mare, giving her a quick "t-thank you!" before heading into the direction of Sweet Apple Acres.

"...well...that happened..."

Hope I helped kinda.

Fluttershy…adorable…HNNNGH!
Awesome chapter. I wonder how she's going to react to Macintosh…if the title's anything to go by…

It's pretty good. I especially like how you mention that Fluttershy had never seen an earth pony or an apple before this point; it's a nice little touch.

Word of advice: don't feel obliged to put out a chapter daily. Take as long as you need, get everything written, edited, and edited again. You'll do yourself and your readers no favors by publishing a hastily-written story.

I am interested...
:yay::eeyup:

I figured that someone would point that out.

I meant to give the feeling of time passing by spacing out the dialouge. Kind of like "Oh wow, she's running around everywhere feeding these animals."


Oh, and I meant not to capitalize both of those. Usually, I capitalize depending on importance. I was mentioning her saying the thank you, and the capitalization felt out of place to me.

And I generally don't capitalize with an ellipsis in front of it, just due to the fact that it was supposed to be a bit of a funny moment and the reader was meant to feel a bit of cluelessness from Applejack.

Or maybe I'm just being obsessive about it, I dunno. :derpytongue2:

(I hope those don't seem like bad excuses...)

1888506

(Totally called it. Knew that somepony would say that. :rainbowwild:)

Oh no no no. It's not an obligation to the readers, don't worry.

It's the simple fact that I have a lot of time on my hands, and have no excuse not to be able to get a chapter out everyday.

Besides, I just really really love seeing a finished story; seeing unfinished stories of my own makes me anxious. :twilightblush:

At a closer look though, she noticed that part of the apple seemed to be rather rotten, and...was that a bite mark? It was only enough of a bite to leave an indent, but still.

If this is the apple that Big Mac gave to her as a filly..

:derpyderp1: Shhh~ Don't remind anypony of that just yet!

In short, it isn't. It was something I thought of while I typed this out. I was thinking about how Big Macintosh can only carry so many apples in a basket. So, he checks them first and slightly bites into the ones that are rotten, then puts the good apples in a basket; this lets the Apple Family easily separate the good from the bad. So, it's like two phases of applebucking; bucking all the apples down, then clearing away the rotten ones.

Save that gif for later though. You'll need it. *maniacally rubs hands together and cackles*

...Also, congrats for being the first to comment. :pinkiehappy:

I am dissapoint.
And to the editing part, of which is only one edit.
Indent. Your. Paragraphs.
That is all.

Moar
1892672 also how would it of lasted this long...

I can't respond to that because I might spoil something. I can only say: be patient.

Oh?

I put spaces between them all, so I didn't think it mattered, especially since nopony ever brought it up.

So...you mean like...instead of

Truthfully, she knew that he probably wouldn't be very hard to find; Applejack had said that she was going to help him buck the apple trees, so all she would have to do is find the trees with no apples in them. If she followed the path of them, he'd probably be around the end of it, right?

Right...

Fluttershy then stopped as she approached the first empty tree, being impressed that every single apple had fallen from it, yet all the leaves were somehow still up there. Was there an art to this thing; giving enough force to make the apples fall, but holding back enough so that the leaves would stay on? She wasn't sure, but she knew that she didn't have time to dwell on it, so she just made a mental note to ask Applejack whenever she saw her again.

I should have it like

Oh, sure, I could do that!

Just give me a few minutes...

(Apologies for it, by the way. I was never one to use indenting. Never seemed important to me.:fluttershysad:)

Fluttershy wants him so bad.

1892799

There ya go!

ThankCelestiaForThe'IndentParagraphs'OptionDJGKJGJNKSB.

(also, sorry for deleting my post and then reposting it earlier; I noticed that I replied to it via the front page, and wanted it to go through via third chapter instead. I'm a bit obsessive about organization. :twilightsheepish:)

Thank you for going through with the edits. Most people just take into mind what I say, but just ignore editing it altogether.

1892857

Ohhh, I totally know what you mean!

Whenever I do that to people, they're usually like 'yeah, kthnx:trixieshiftright:...hey, can you make me a sammich?'

Well, this is all sorts of adorable. *adds to watch list*

She thought he would be Fat Macintosh. :rainbowkiss:

Great chapter. Let the awkward lovy-ness commence!

your first pony fanfiction?
You are kidding right? man this was so freaking cute, i have read a lot of fluttermac fanfics and this one has gone to my top 3 with just the first chapter!, i gotta say i really loved it, now i got to keep reading the rest but damm this looks really good, keep up the good work!

Applejack sees whats up. Plenty of advantages to bringing Fluttershy into the family.

I LIKE IT! :pinkiehappy: A few spelling and capitalization errors... :applejackunsure: BUT I LOVE IT! :pinkiehappy:

The irritation I felt then reminded me of this one time I went onto DeviantART to find out who I could pair up with the other Mane 6.

There was this one person who hated shippings like Carajack, DoctorDerpy, Fluttermac, SoarinDash, and Sparity just because they were popular shippings.

I mean...what if a ship that he/she liked suddenly became popular? Would they just...suddenly hate the ship?

Not only that, but the person went on to say that they hated certain ships because it interfered with a ship that they liked.

And to make things worse, he/she then went on to say that they also hated certain ships because the characters have never met each other...when the ships that they liked already suffered from that exact same problem.

1892941

The only time I approve of stalking. :derpytongue2:

1893808

Well...it was one of the reasons she thought of at least. :rainbowwild:

1897136

Eeyup. First pony fanfiction.

I have some experience in making regular fanfiction, but that was a lot time ago; back when I was a total novice.

Still though, it's good to know that just about everypony likes this sixteen-year-old's shipfic.

:fluttercry: I COULD JUST HUG ALL OF YOUUUU.

HAHAHAHA! FAT MACINTOSH! :rainbowlaugh: OH YEAH! I LOVE THIS CHAPTER VERY DISCRIPTIVE AND GOOD! :pinkiehappy:

1898167

Thank you! :raritystarry:

The reasoning behind that is probably because, as I stated in the Author's Note, I wasn't being pressured by anything else when I made this chapter.

You indented the paragraphs!!
i1355.photobucket.com/albums/q714/mufffinpatrol/3-pmjZDfK0y5mcKYsq6UVA2.gif
Er, sorry. I just got back from my first day back at school, and I had to edit a person's ten page long story, and they didn't indent and of their paragraphs. It was rather annoying.

Am I the only one who can totally see Fluttershy being apart of the Apple family? Through marriage of Big Mac of course... Seriously I'm almost half tempted to write a story about FlutterMac's married life with Fluttershy being apart of the Apple Family... Soooo D'awwww worthy!!!!

1899594 I would totally read and favorite that story
