I finally figured out how to put this thing on my profile. This is the best thing to happen to me since Princess Celestia teleported me to Equestria so that I could romance her student and sister.

Chaos is as chaos does. I think, I enjoy myself, I even have a zoo of cute animals. What does this have to do with what you asked? Oh, that's just the beauty of it!

I'm not all that exciting, but I'm flattered you'd ask. Why share your thoughts with another when you can be him?

(This is a first-person mental trip that follows Discord from before he was sealed by the princesses until after the events of Keep Calm and Flutter On. Not for everyone, I'll say that much.)

Well, the chapters were kinda short. But hey, what's life without a little chaos? The perspective was interesting, but i still think it needs to be about twenty percent cooler... :rainbowdetermined2:

Well, it's nice to see things from Discord's point of view, but a little scenery wouldn't hurt, plus I suppose I always imagined Discord to be a little more cunning and mischievous. If i may be blunt, the writing style sounds similar to a minor style in another fanfiction, where one of Pinkie's clones dictates the action.
All in all, its a very nice premise, and I would like to see more of it, although the presentation is poor in my opinion. :twilightblush:

Oh, I just realized that I should have replied to this, like, 3 weeks and 19 hours ago. Haha, busy me.

The cunning and mischievous portion comes in later; he has over 1000 years to plan and plot for his return to Equestria, but he's running out of ideas before he gets turned to stone the first time, in my headcanon. He is cunning and mischievous, just not immediately.

This is also something I never expected to write. I'm not an eager fan of first-person, and I definitely don't have as much experience with it. I just thought up the idea, presented it, and was told to write it, so I did! If I polished my first-person writing skills, I'm sure I could have delivered it better, but I guess you'll have to enjoy it as much as you can as is :p

I meant for the chapters to be somewhat short; things don't need to be particularly verbose with something like this. Putting myself into the shoes of Discord, I imagine he would get pretty bored with looking too closely into things for any amount of time, hence 3/5 of the chapters being under 1,000 words, and the entire thing only amounting to 5,700 words. When you look at things from his perspective, events tend to go rather quickly. That being said, I *could* have extended them at least somewhat, but I felt that would have begun to bore the reader. I intended the short chapters to be part of the appeal of the fic.

i like the idea you had for the way discord somehow got in an opera singer's pose. clever.

discord changed rather abruptly, but other then that, i really liked this whole story. nice work.
