Uh, this is harder than what I expected · 8:44pm Aug 1st, 2014
Ok, I've been procrastinating really hard, but I have the one-shot halfway done. The problem is that I'm stuck in a fight scene. This is my first fight scene and is harder than what I thought. And making it worse I'm trying to make it funny! Because is supposed to be my first comedy fic also!
Yeah, it's been almost a week now since I'm trying to figure how to make it right. I'm better at sad and heartbreaking fics, comedy isn't my strong. But hey! One must try new things, right? Even if the first time doesn't come out very well!
I just wanted to say that. And one last thing, Derpy OP is best Derpy

Fight scenes are hard, yeah. Watch a lot of action movies, though; it might help.
I may be able to help.
The only piece of advice I can give regarding writing a fight scene is that you should consider the place in which your characters are fighting. Try to think of as many objects as you can that can be found throughout the area, and how they can employ them against each other. I think that with the right amount of basic hoof-to-hoof combat (kicking. punching, etc.) and some environmental weapons (a jar of honey, sheets left to dry in someone's garden, or even a cat) you can make any fighting scene funny and exciting at the same time.
Hope that helps!

Mmmm... I never put much thought into that. Mostly because the two ponies fighting can do magic. Besides an apple missile I haven't used much the environment.
Thanks for the advice
