I wrote an unexpected new chapter for Fluttershy's Night Out yesterday & today, and will probably release it pretty soon. As a result, the story no longer has the Sad tag.

I've got several stories I've been struggling with for a long time that I might give up on fixing and release as Twilight Zone chapters, including a Celerity story and a very old Princest story.

Experience and Bad Horse's Bedtime Stories are likely to get updates. Mortality Report, The Saga of Dark Demon King Ravenblood Nightblade, Interior Design Alicorn, and Sisters each might update again someday.

BTW, re-reading parts of Fluttershy's Night Out, I think I realized why it originally ended outside her cottage, POV the chickens. This is a simple trick: To make readers feel sorrier for your character after they suffer something terrible that made them feel insignificant, or to make them look down on a character who was overly proud ("Ozymandias", "The Remarkable Rocket"), show bystanders who don't care about or comprehend their fall.

OH SHIT. Well now my imagination will be running wild until then.

I remember that Celerity story; I was actually just thinking about it the other day and wondering what happened to it.

As a result, the story no longer has the Sad tag
This was the first story of yours that I read here, and it started me on the path to really appreciating that kind of story. I'm very interested to see what you've done with it.

Very welcome news--I look forward to...to...

..uh..."The story no longer has the Sad tag..."

...it...it doesn't have the Gore tag now, does it? :fluttershyouch:

I have a soft spot in my heart for Sisters. It's the first time that I got a story on EqD by piggybacking it on the back of Bad Horse's stories, and that story became quite popular. (In Celestia We Trust)

2166141 Could be worse. He could make it an Alternate Universe, Human, Anthro, Pokemon Crossover if he really wanted to hurt us, but I'm moderately certain he is only Bad and Evil in a good way. :duck:

I was just relieved it didn't turn into Looking for Mr. Goodbar: "Oh thank God, she survived and she'll never see the bastard again--HAPPY ENDING!" :yay:

2166214 Oh my, I never thought of it that way. Well now you have me worried! "the story no longer has the Sad tag" could simply mean it's a Tragedy instead.

He could even tie it to Moments: Fluttershy had a terribly sad experience, followed the next day by a world-shattering meteor.

He wouldn't do that, would he? :fluttershysad:

2166322 I'm revising all my stories to end with meteors.

2166336 I knew it! :yay: I mean :facehoof:

Be sure to throw in some Mac and Twilight sexy times on a few of those. You know, for tension relief...
:twilightsmile::eeyup:

"With you, I've finally found true happiness," Fluttershy said.

The next moment the giant meteor hit.

"We've both survived that! It's amazing!" said Fluttershy happily.

The next moment, the second giant meteor hit.

This is a conspiracy to get me to preemptively fave all your stories, isn't it?
...It'll probably work.

Hmmm...

I don't know quite how to feel about that. My knee-jerk reaction is that there is still value in stories about bad things happening, and I hope the update doesn't change that aspect of the story. Guess I'll reserve judgement until I see it.

As a result, the story no longer has the Sad tag.

UNFOLLOWING for a few hours

FEEL AS BRADEL FEELS.

you were my hero, Bad... :(

I think that's Ed there *hinthint*

...You're trying to experiment how to see how many followers look and comment on Butterbutt's Night Out, aren't you? Would it be helpful for me to make some sock puppets?

2166336
This is now your theme song

Ozymandias, that's an interesting choice...

So? So? Salt-flavored Life Savers are awesome. Especially the iodized kind.


You'd try 'em if they had 'em. Admit it.

2167098 I mean the poem, not the Watchman. :ajsmug:

And yet, it's not entirely irrelevant, is it?

Spiffing decision, old bean!

2168862

I mean the poem, not the Watchman. :ajsmug:

"My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings!
Look upon my works, ye mighty, and despair!"
And I looked down on them and I said, No.

I was trying to get at something else entirely (hint: goggles). Nevermind.

Yeah, I concede. I would actually try a salty life-saver (I think they had brandy flavour ones at one point). It's probably not the saltiest thing I've sucked on, but it will have nutritional value and I won't get goiters or whatever that salt deficiency disease is they have in Africa. Either that or I'll die from salty heart attack or get diabetes.

Worth

I want to eat chips now. Lay's Ketchup flavour.

OK, so let me guess: the newly revised ending to "Fluttershy's Night Out" involves the sudden and unexpected appearance of Braeburn.

Also, you've changed the title to "The Shying Game."

2166336 You're going to "Shower" us with tragic/sad endings, eh? You're bad, horse.
