Review #64 - Lyra Kills a Mare, X Pony does Y and Fluttershy Catches them in the act, Rainbow Dash Visits The Proctologist · 4:25am Feb 28th, 2017

I have some... very weird ones picked out for today. Like, really weird. I actually have them listed from relatively sane to weird in descending order. But, promotion time:
This here group called "Looking for Editors" if you need one for a story.
MLPmatthewl419's Collection

Lyra Kills a Mare by Snuggie88
X Pony does Y and Fluttershy catches them in the act by Wanderer D
Rainbow Dash Visits The Proctologist by Bad_Seed_72

As always, I will put down my recommendations, but I truly hope that you to make the choice on whether to read a fic or not yourself.

Lyra Kills a Mare by Snuggie88
(Comedy)
While fighting over a pie, Lyra accidentally kills Bon Bon! Or did she?

Review
This story is pure comedy. I don't think there is anything else in here, except a little bit of darkness due to, you know, Lyra killing a mare. Anyway, Lyra in this one has really good characterization. She seems to be: cheerful, innocent (the young/ knowledge kind), and bouncy. I really like that about her. Authors, if you're gonna make a Lyra fic for me, this is how to do her. Bon Bon, unlike Lyra, seems to be the responsible one. Pretty much the perfect counter to the oddities of Lyra. Though I don't understand why she would go to a doctor for a (what I'm assuming is) a small cut. All-in-all, these two personalities really work well together.

This one's greatest, however, has to do with the pacing. It feels prolonged in some areas, while rushed in others. This, unfortunately, leaves a slight dissatisfied "taste in one's mouth" after reading it.

Recommendation: Worth Reading/ Recommended. (Because, deep down, I did crack a smile with this one. And, even though the pacing is wacky, everything else is pretty good. If you are looking for a one-shot comedy about Lyra, or just a comedy, this one is for you.)

X Pony does Y and Fluttershy Catches them in the act by Wanderer D
(Comedy, Random, Romance)
Fluttershy lives a normal pony life: Simple needs, good friends, an established reality around her... and so, she starts her day as usual. Until Discord visits. But she has stuff to do. Warning: Read at your own risk. When I say Random, I mean Random.

Review
Now we get into the realm of "what the heck did I just read." The answer is, the random-est random I have read, with an amazing amount of comedy. There is a bit of romance within this, but it is a minuscule amount. Fluttershy is, umm... how do I even do this? Fluttershy is not timid like in the show, but a normal pony who has seen truly horrifying experiences. Not scary horrifying, but the "what?" type of horrifying. Anyway, to quote a certain reviewer:

What? Just, what?

Continuing on, this one's greatest weakness is that there is absolutely no point. The only thing this includes is comedy, which leaves you forgetting it exists. But you will probably laugh at it again should you choose to read it twice.

Recommendation: Recommended. (Because if you can get past the weirdness, this is a hilarious story).

Rainbow Dash Visits The Proctologist by Bad_Seed_72
(Sex, Comedy)
After eating an incredibly spicy burrito, Rainbow Dash discovers some blood on the toilet paper the next morning. Dash panics and rushes to Twilight, who then accompanies her to the doctor. Unfortunately, her issue is beyond Doctor Stable's expertise. He refers Dash to Doctor A. Scope, a proctologist, for a more thorough examination. Rated Teen for... Oh, c'mon, you know what you're getting into!

Review
So, this one is beyond the realm of "what the heck did I just read," and well into the realm of "da hell?" It is pure comedy, just plain old comedy. Anyways, Rainbow in this one is a Season 2/3 Rainbow Dash. Competitive, stubborn, confident, not entirely sure what she's doing, you know, the whole shebang. Twilight is such a plot device, but she does have some characterization in the form of "smart-pony." Also, comedic plot device. Spike is only there for comedic moments, which is pretty much his life everywhere. Wow, I did a bad job with this... but before you complain, you try reviewing this fic.

This one's greatest weakness would be... I don't know, my mind is still broken from it. Probably that you forget it exists, due to it being mostly devoid of all things noncomedy.

Recommendation: Highly Recommended. (My brain is so broken, and I laughed so hard when I read this. Therefore, read it).
