Story Recommendation: A Bug on a Stick · 12:00am Jan 2nd, 2018
How does a lovely, Pratchetty, coming-of-age fic featuring the two royal sisters (and one slightly more ichor-ish outsider), bearing a well-built-up world in pre-alicorn times, and sporting the following description sound?
"Celestia was a filly living on an isolated farm with her sister and harboring dreams of greatness. Chrysalis was a black goo poured out from a screaming wound in the walls of reality, with a weak grasp on the appropriate amount of fangs one should have. Friendship was inevitable."
If that tickles any part of your soul, then I wholeheartedly recommend A Bug on a Stick by Orbiting Kettle. The first chapter's already out, it and the following chapters in the pipeline haven't suffered too much in spite of my proofreading, and I'm sure it'll satisfy. 
You had me at "Pratchetty."
A recommendation from Carabas?
Golly, this sounds like something I'll have to check out.
It's not like I've already been browsing your favourites or anything...

Six words in? MIchty. I'd aim lower, but I'm not sure how far I could go before my recommends devolve into 'READ THING AARGH'.

Flatterer.
Oh god, a searchable history of things with my endorsement. Ignore everything incriminating please.

Well that's two wasted syllables right there.
Don't forget the three Cs of public speaking:

I've tried removing the two extraneous ones, believe me, but I struggle with my inflection. There's only so much I can do with my 'AARGH' that doesn't have people either fleeing or going after me with pitchforks.

Well, between you and FOME both recommending it, I guess I don't have a choice, do I?

Peer pressure, yo.
