"Mah brane hurtz reading this," he said with some asperity.

Hey! Didn't I JUST go through this with Pinkie?! That's MY job!

You people are really walking on thin ice...

Yes. All of my yes for this fic. Such a strong entry and so absolutely goofy in every way, shape, and form. Thank you for writing this!

This has got to be one of my favorite entries so far.

And I'm really glad I was reading on a laptop 🙃

When I wrote this, I didn't make any of the text upside down until it was ready to be posted. When I did, I realized that it was gonna be a lot tougher to read than I expected. By then, it was too baked into the story, and I'd have to come up with a whole new punchline, so I just hoped for the best

Glad you enjoyed

That's some pretty impressive rulebending. :trollestia: Not even the Avatar has mastered that. :pinkiegasp:

How'd you do that cool upside down text thing?

Googled "upside down text generator"

Alondro needs no narration, for Alondro is his own narration. ALONDRO IS GOD HERE!!! :flutterrage:

We have a winner.

Nice bit of fun with metafiction... though I can't say how well the judges will react to it. Still, best of luck in the judging.

Good fic, but I don't think that using formatting to distinguish speakers is following the rules of the contest.

Also, upside-down text is painful to read.

The only thing I recall being specifically barred is color-coded text. I will admit, though, I'm probably stretching the rules to their breaking point.

As for the upside-down text, I was trying to be wacky and fun but I severely underestimated how hard that would be to read. Sorry bout that!

I mean coloured text was specifically banned because of the potential of someone using it to distinguish speakers. Also, using formatting to distinguish speakers has been formally banned from the contest.

The main point of the contest is distinguishing speakers without using signalling, using formatting like you do violates the spirit of the rules even if it didn't violate the word.

Cool. I might actually read the story now :derpytongue2:

UPDATE: I just read it. Pretty good meta humor. Good luck on the contest.

11905679
Oh well. I'm almost certain that rule wasn't there at first, but, as I said before

Oh well

It violates both the spirit and the letter.

Sorry. A poor attempt at playing with words and being amusing that was funnier in my head.

Discord's text made me really thankful I read this on my phone..

I mean… legality aside this was clever, and funny, and upside down text is exactly as headache-inducing as you’d expect. Bravo, at the bare minimum, this made for an enjoyable and world-shattering middle finger to the fourth wall :rainbowlaugh:
