Oh, I'm so glad to see this continuing. :twilightsmile:

It liiiiiiiives!

Wow, surprised to see this pop up. Its been what? A year and a half. Wow...:pinkiegasp: Also, you've go a lot more stories with a lot more likes and views. Not that I am complaining but what made you return to this one? Are you finally going to try and finish some of the stories you have yet to finish?:twilightsmile:

I reread the short story that originally inspired Giant George's thought process.
And...for the newer stories with more likes/views, I realized most of what I'm looking forward to writing is so far down the line it's discouraging (an example: in "Sparkle in His Eye", I'm currently at the plot of "Ratchet & Clank" (first game), and the first major plot point I'm looking forward to writing is in "Size Matters" (fifth game).)
However, stuff I'm going to enjoy writing for this story is one or two chapters ahead, instead of ten or 20. Thus I'll write this for a while.

YYAAAAY!:yay: Eets Ahliiiivee!:pinkiecrazy: *happy dance* "Woot, woot! Flubb-idy dubb-idy, WUB! WUB! boing!"...

:twilightoops::twilightblush: Eh heh heh, oops.:pinkiesick::facehoof:

:Edit: Looks like you have a slog-fest for 'Sparkle in His Eye', hope you don't get too bogged down.

Oh, there's quite a bit I want to do for "Sparkle in His Eye", and a few fun points in each game.

Problem is, I've looked through all the Ratchet and Clank games currently out, and slated ten of them for inclusion in it. Each game has about 9-10 worlds with plot, on average. Even one world per chapter, that's nearly 100 chapters to that story...and that's not including interlude chapters and what I have planned for the post-games plotline.

...wow. I just realized how big a project that story's going to be...Mommy...

5024470 Mmm, are there any levels that can be cut out? I ask because it would get very dry and grind-y if you did. every. level.
I'll be brutally honest... I haven't looked at what you've done so far with the story, but doing every level will make it pretty much a walk-through... of 10 games... Wow. :applejackconfused:

:ajsleepy:Just take little bites, dude, lots n lots of little bites... and chew thoroughly.:raritywink::eeyup:

Well, not to spoiler anything, but most of games 2 and 9 won't be covered walkthrough style for reasons, and game 4 will be original spin...
And actually, games 7 and 10 are much shorter than the others...

And it won't be walkthrough style. Some chapters may cover multiple levels if nothing much happens.

So... Pinkie's dad is... not a rock. And she most certainly isn't constantly hearing gossip from invisible friends and.. relatives?

That's one of the more creative explanations for the Pinkie Sense I've seen.

Oh god, it just occurred to me... that whole Party of One business with Madame LeFlour, Rocky, and her other "friends" takes on a whole new possible meaning if she can actually hear elemental spirits. :rainbowderp:

Damn! I hadn't even thought of any of that! I was trying to explain her crazy cartoonish abilities by saying she was half metamorphic rock elemental.

Please continue.

5043956 *Re-read complete* Oh yes, yes~. Please, continue.

This is quite cute.

Sooo... Continue?:rainbowhuh:

I in particular have no right to try and badger anyone about updating stories, but... couldja please? :scootangel:

This story also has a neat concept. I like how pinkie is the daughter of a stone elemental. Another for my favs bucket!

Wow
This story is beautiful,
Hehe Rarity was a little perverted... So was Cherilee i take it George looks very handsome? Because from the Cover Art he must look different (or the ponies would not be fooled this easy)
And really nice touch, making Pinkie the daugther of a rock elemental.
Hmmm..
I would love to read about Twilights expression when finding out (about the tree elemental not Pinkies heritage) Hoping to read more
J

A great start, I would really like to read more! Please?:pinkiesad2:
