Review #35 - Just Dodge!, Fluttershy Gets Replaced by a Sherman Tank, Princess Celestia is Replaced by an Ohio-class Submarine · 2:27am Jan 9th, 2017

Alright! I can now get this one out... The three I am doing today are:

Just Dodge! by DannyJ
Fluttershy Gets Replaced by a Sherman Tank by Estee
Princess Celestia is Replaced by an Ohio-class Submarine by Greenback

Just Dodge! by DannyJ
(Comedy, Dark)
Lyra thinks Discord is an idiot for not thinking to dodge when the Elements of Harmony were about to strike him. Discord thinks this is the perfect opportunity for a game.

Review
Lyra asks Discord why he didn't just dodge the Elements of Harmony's Rainbow-of-Death when it was coming at him. Discord makes a game out of it and sends Lyra into his body a few seconds before he gets hit and tells her to do anything she wants for as long as she wants in an attempt to not get hit. After a great, great long amount of comedic fails, she gives up.

This has great pacing. And though longer than the optimal chapter, it cannot be split up at all because of content. It has very few errors within the text, which is nice. And it seems fairly planned out, with not a lot of filler. The tags work out alright too, though there is not much for darkness.

Score: 9/10 Recommendation: Recommended.

Personal Thoughts: This is a great work, and rather comical too... in fact, I actually want more of this, like maybe Lyra thinks of another thing and Discord lets her try it out.

(Random)
When the Bearers race forth from Ponyville on an official mission, somepony has to take over on their day jobs. For Fluttershy, that's usually Snowflake. But he's not available right now, so today, it's going to be a Sherman tank. Don't worry. I'm sure nopony will ever notice the difference.

Review
Fluttershy has to go on a mission of friendship, but her usual replacement isn't available. So Twilight finds her a new replacement, which happens to be a Sherman Tank. Next, come the chronicles of said Sherman Tank's adventures, which I refuse to spoil.

This has very good pacing, though it can get to feel a little long. It has very few errors in it. And it seems, actually, not at all planned out; going along with that, the "Random" tag works out quite well.

Score: 8.5/10 Recommendation: Recommended.

Personal Thoughts: That ending, though...

(Alternate Universe, Comedy, Random)
In a parallel universe, there exists an Equestria where the Princess of the Sun is not a pony, but one of the most advanced war machines ever created.

Review
So, yeah, Celestia is a submarine and therefore solves problems in a submarine-y way.

This has greatly amazing pacing, though it could definitely use a sequel. It has very few errors within the text. And it seems rather planned out, with little filler. All of the tags fit very well, too.

Score: 10/10 Recommendation: Highly Recommended.

Personal Thoughts: Yeah, that was great... and it may, or may not have inspired me to write another story of my own sorts (Which you guys will probably never read, but I will).





And as promised, as my 100th review special, here is a link to a story I have written. IT IS RIGHT HERE. CLICK RIGHT HERE.

I feel vaguely guilty, and yet happy. :pinkiehappy:

4375004 Oh, a number of us kinda-sorta pushed Estee into this after he posted a blog about tanks. It was back during the Great Peach Wave of almost a year ago, where Admiral Biscuit posted Twilight Eats a Peach and things kinda snowballed from there. (There's also a group.)

....

I blame PresentPerfect. And Obselescence. (Hey, it was his blog post that started Peachmania.)

Thank you for reviewing my story! It's an honor to know that you liked it so much!

There may be a sequel, but not until we get a few more seasons so I have lots of stuff to work with.
