    I’m back to the land of the living!

    Hello everyone!

    So sorry for being MIA for the last year or 2. I’ve been taking online classes and I just made a big move from my home of 17 years to what now feels like the middle of nowhere lol.

    I’m back!!

    Yes, you read that right! Fluttercordlover232 has come out of retirement! Recently I’ve been reading some old favorite fluttercord stories (and new ones) and it’s gotten me back into the swing of all things fluttercord! So you can definitely expect to see more chapter updates in the coming future! The last time I updated was…. a year ago maybe…?? 🧐

    Hi all! I am so sorry I’ve been MIA on here for a long time. I’ve gotten so busy with other things that I almost forgot about this site completely.

    One Last Favor For You All...

    My Little Pony Friendship is Magic has come to an end, and I’m sorry to say it’s also the end of my Fluttercord stories. I just haven’t been as inspired to write about Fluttercord as I used to be. But don’t worry, I won’t delete my stories, I’ll still keep them up for your reading pleasure. I just won’t be on this account anymore. Who knows? Maybe I’ll be back when g5 starts and I get

    Someone please tell me....

    Ok... I just saw the very last episode of My Little Pony Friendship is Magic ever. And it appears to take place years later. Pinkie Pie marries Cheese Sandwich and has a foal, and Fluttershy appears to be married to Discord!!!!!! Although I can’t tell exactly. They weren’t wearing a ring, and they didn’t kiss, but Fluttershy made it sound like he was her husband, and Discord to pack her a bagged

Need help when using laying/lying in past/present tense · 4:35am Nov 5th, 2018

Hi everyone,

I’m currently writing a new chapter of “Love is Stronger Than Chaos”. I am not going to give anything away, but more than once in the chapter I use the words laying/lying.

And that’s my problem.

Can anyone tell me what the difference between the two is and when and how you should write them? I have tried multiple times to look it up, but I still don’t really understand the difference and when it would be appropriate to use them. The example I read on the internet said to use “lay” when referring to a direct object. The example was given that you lay a book down on a table, but you lie down on the sofa.

Wouldn’t a person still be considered a direct object since they are the one doing the action? When I write about a person (or in this case a pony) being on a bed or couch, or placing themselves on it, should I use lay or lie?

Couldn’t it work for both?

Does lie in the past tense mean the action has already been performed? and does lay mean that the action is currently being performed?

So would it be “Discord was laying on a bed” or “Discord was lying on a bed?”

If anyone could tell me in the comments and give me an example it would be most appreciated! I do not want to publish a new chapter until I’m sure of the difference and the use.

Thanks!

Really want to know how it goes for Fluttershy and Discord... and the baby...

I'll try help you... (I'm not soo good with English...but I'll try...)

But laying is like. 'She was laying in the bed.' Like resting or taking a nap.

And lying is like. 'He knew she was lying to him, she wasn't telling him the truth and he could feel it.'

I took some texts from my own Fanfic that I'm currently writing... I just hope it'll be as good as yours :heart:

I hope I was able to help you ☺
