CalmNQuiet


I try to tell the stories others tell better than me.

T

This is a set of prompts (<1000 word minifics based on a single word) I’ve written in groups scattered across the site mostly due to too much coffee. Please comment or critique if you find any of them particularly interesting.

For the curious: The story title is a play on CalmNQuiet. These prompts often interrupt me when I'm trying to write something else. Hence, breaching the peace!

Oh yes, the glorious kick in the balls.

Lots of cute and simple stories. Nice.

I'm a little surprised that there isn't a little Twijack; been running into a lot of that lately. :ajbemused:

2164251 Just something silly lovey-dovey. Nothing too serious or romantic. No real story building.

You were right, these fluff ones don't make sense and yet are cute.

Why would you write something so sad and weird? Have the ponies here become canibals?

2170693 That's the implication. It was a prompt and I wanted to try writing something Dark and Noir as the tags suggest.

2162515>>2163103. AJ and Dash got married and had a filly. RD most likely died from giving birth. AJ.was just telling her about how they got together and had their own filly.

Dang, even I can't explain this one.

Somehow, that looked a lot better in my head than it did in the pic.

Man, you sure like your AppleDash, huh? Not that I'm complaining or anything, but could even it out between AppleDash and TwiDash?

2170810 I have two more TwiDash prompts which I need to update into this. I'll get around to it when I have a chance.

I would love to read this one did you write these cause i like the style

2170974 Yep. I wrote all of these. It's a huge mixed bag of random things I've written for various prompt games on the forums.

Someone puts up a word, and you write a short 100-500 word story around it.

I tell you to write more TwiDash and you make this sad piece of genius? Brilliant. :moustache:

2171233. Already found it. Someone else is doing the exact thing your doing, and for the same reasons.

2171253 Yep. There's a bunch of us doing this. And thank you for all the comments! I really appreciate it.

2171283. Do you have any links to the other guys doing this?

2171376 Not immediately. But if you check the thread: http://www.fimfiction.net/group/93/twidash/thread/11997/twidash-prompt-tag
I think a good number of the authors have small story compilations up of their minifics.

Suddenly Soylent Green. D:

2179501 The tags are no joke! Read at your own risk. I should do more happy fluff TwiDash though. They make me smile.

Can I request a couple of TwiJack? :ajsmug:

2182837 I can certainly play with the idea and see if I can write something involving TwiJack. I am rather fond of the pairing. Though It'll have to be for the Writer's group prompt. Since AppleDash and TwiDash come from their respective groups.

2183017

That's so awesome!!!

You, sir or madam, have made my day! :eeyup:


I understand you have to 'wait' for a prompt, but I'm sure it will only be a short matter of time.

That really was a lot of sexual innuendo. Poor Twilight can't handle The Dash.

Apparently I suck at taking a hint. And considering the Fluff tag, I had no idea.

Read it e second time... How did I not pick up on any of that!?

2198712 Was I too vague on the setup? I know I try to accomplish a lot in a short period of time. So it's easy for stuff to get lost if I'm not succinct enough.

Alright.

I don't think you're a bad person. :scootangel:

I think the only thing that could have been done a little better was if you'd introduced the cloud and/or shadow a bit earlier. As it was it's introduced near the end but implied it's been there all along. If you'd referred to it once or twice earlier, the reader might've been able to start building the suspicion that Rainbow was trailing her around all day.

That said, still a wonderful short fic.

I agree with this.

2227797
Yay! I'm glad to see that university hasn't completely fried my brain yet!

Commence read.

I wonder what put her in there.

2227793
That would be my guess. Coughing is usually a sign of sickness, and Twilight's panic indicates it's likely something that's dangerous, unfamiliar to her, or both.

From the very start I wasn't sure if prison or hospital. Because of the fact that it seemed this was a long-term thing I was guessing prison, but from the increasing signs of sickness I managed to decide on hospital before the reveal.

2227822 Oh it'll happen my friend, just you wait. Slowly, but ever so surely, your sanity will be sapped from your being :pinkiecrazy: I know because I've reached that point by now :pinkiecrazy:

Touchingly beautiful, thank you for making this a happy ending.

Commence read.

For better or worse.

D'awwww-- So much yes, even if it's sads. :pinkiesad2:
