F/F/T3K15 11/8: Time to vote. · 3:09am Nov 9th, 2017
Last week's mess is tidied up. Enjoy.
This week's nonsense is a continuation of last month's. You WILL have a bad time.
Speaking of bad times, here to determine the victim for next week is the return of the dreaded READER SUBMISSION POLL. As per last time, I'll provide excerpts and word counts, and y'all get to choose which you think is suitably agonizing to riff based on that alone.
The first excerpt, for an 8K-word fic:
Long ago in the magic land of equestria there lived a princess her name was Princess Rainbow Dash She has 2 Best Friends One was SilverSnowyFox the other was Melody Shine She was Going to Silver's House now.
Rainbow Knocked on Silvers door.
"hey Sliver whats going on?" Rainbow Said.
Rainbow Was Staring at a White Peagasus With Teal eyes and gray hair with a heart and Pencil Cutie mark.
"Hey princess" Silver Replied.
"can i come in" Rainbow Asked.
"sure" silver said Opening the door. "so whats going on here" Rainbow Asked.
"nothing really how about in Ponyville" Silver replied.
"same i'm acutally working on something on ponytube" Rainbow told Silver as she pulled out her laptop "see" Rainbow Showed Silver her Project then she used her magic to make a Cupcake appear.
"ok so well still need voices for the project and art but i know your awesome at it by the way how's that drawing of yours coming along" Rainbow Asked Silver.
"its going Great" silver lied.
"silver i can tell your lying to me" Rainbow Reminded.
"its going bad" Silver told Rainbow the truth for she remembered not to lie to royalty.
"i can help if you want" Rainbow offered.
"no thanks" Silver replied.
Rainbow hated to see one of her friends like this she had to do something then it struck her so Rainbow Wrapped her wing around Silver in a hug.
"hey don't go all sad on me you'll get better" Rainbow's idea Worked.
The second excerpt, for a fic totaling 12K words:
Rarity hummed merrily while she worked. Within the last fifteen minutes she'd completely done away with all of Spike's Power Pony decor, and brought it solid colors, and modernized shelving. Twilight was neck deep in letters to the princesses and didn't even notice Rarity as she went in, and out of the library. A few quick trips to the Boutique and back gave her all the supplies she needed to redecorate the young dragon's room, and she'd done such a good job already.
"Aha! Perfect! Everything is absolutely, positively, and completely... gorgeous!"
Behind her, she could hear the door creak open, followed by a gasp.
"Rarity," Twilight cried out, "what have you done?" The alicorn spun in circles in the middle of the room, cringing at every little detail that was different about the bedroom. Rarity pouted.
"Being the element of generosity I couldn't help myself when I saw the state this room was in! I just did Spike a favor! I admit it may not be my best work... but you have to remember, I'm a dress designer, not a home makeover artist."
Twilight quickly slammed the door behind them. She had sweat dripping down her face and she spoke fast and low.
"Are you crazy? Do you have any idea how serious Spike takes his comic book stuff? I tried to pull one of the comics out of its sleeve the other night and Spike almost broke my hoof!" Twilight looked at the glass case and choked when she saw little Crystal Sculptures of Spike, herself, and the rest of their friends. "What did you do with the comics?" She asked while tugging on her mane.
"I took them to the boutique and gave them to Sweetie Belle. I figured she and the other crusaders could enjoy them!"
"No no no no no!" Twilight said, spinning in circles again. Rarity got a stiff hold of her and laughed.
"Twilight! Get ahold of yourself! Listen, I'm sure Spike will understand that as he grows up his room will need to be updated to fit his new personality and look. Imagine him trying to bring a girlfriend to a room like this? I merely did him a favor, and I'm sure he'd appreciate it. Especially since it came from me."
Number three, totaling 12K as well:
The purple one is the first to speak. “My name is Twilight Sparkle, and I am pleased to welcome you to Ponyville,” she says with a friendly smile.
“My name is Applejack, pleased to meet ya!” the orange and blond earth pony says with a tip of her hat.
“I'm Rainbow Dash, the coolest pony you'll ever meet,” the blue pegasus says, doing a flip.
“My name is Rarity,” the white unicorn says with a regal bow.
“I'm um... Fluttershy,” the yellow pegasus says timidly.
They all stand there staring at me. Waiting for an answer. “I... I don't have a name,” I say with my head hung low.
“Don't have a name? Whatever do you mean, dear?” Rarity asks.
“Everypony has a name,” Twilight says, matter-of-factly.
“I don't think he is kidding,” Fluttershy says looking at me with sad eyes. Each of them looks at the other, and then back at me.
“I just want a place to sleep for the night. I'll be on my way tomorrow,” I say with my head hung low.
Fluttershy comes and sits next to me. Her warm body, close to mine. I haven't been this close to anypony in my life. “Oh my, you're hurt,” she says, noticing my wing.
“It's nothing, really,” I say, trying to change the subject.
“You should let Fluttershy take a look at it. She's medically trained,” Twilight says with a half smile.
“Then I can tell you my story,” I say. They all look at me, then each other. They all nod and I stand up. Fluttershy, still sitting next to me looks almost frightened at my size. I walk to the back of the room and sit next to the stairs. I watch as the other ponies have fun with one another. Drinking punch and eating what appeared to be cupcakes. So many happy ponies.
Fourth and final, another 8K fic:
It's been 30 years since Joey Drew's Cartoons was shut down. It was after Celestia caught Henry trying to use satanic rituals to bring Bendy to life. She couldn't have anyone using dark magic in her kingdom so she forced him to shut down the project. He refused of course and told her he'd do it deep underground below the surface where nobody could sense it. He had somehow convinced her and kept his word. Surprisingly it worked and nothing had happened after his promise. That was the problem nothing happened, Joey Drew's presence had vanished completely and a rumor of a curse had started up so Celestia shut down the place for good. Henry was dishearten to hear that his friend had gone missing, but recently he had received a letter from him, he asked Celestia and she agreed but he also had to investigate the place to find evidence that the studio wasn't cursed.
"Well if we get into trouble, The Great and Powerful Trixie shall keep us safe," said Trixie.
"Ok So I know it's Celestia's orders but did we really have to bring HER with us?" asked Henry pointing a hoof at Trixie.
"I know it's bad, but try and let it pass for now," said Starlight.
"Actually what Joey was doing was worst and after visiting his workshop you'll know," said Henry. Starlight shrugged and the three continued to Joey's workshop in silence. After several moments the group came to a stop in front of an old worn down building. "Here we are," said Henry.
God, these all look AWFUL... have fun deciding.
Oh dear gods, I've read that second one...
