//------------------------------// // Jennifer and the Stars // Story: Equestrian Fanfiction // by Lise //------------------------------// Quarters! You sneaky filly! Did you think I wouldn’t find out? :P I read it before it got curated, and it was beautiful! I see you’ve been experimenting a bit and it definitely shows! (@Brush: And you didn’t tell me you were prereading this either! What will I do with you :P) Nightlings, please go ahead and read Jennifer and the Stars. An all human adventure starring (heh :P) Princess Jennifer! It’s sort of like Space Molly (which we all love... well which I love, at least :)) but also very different, as in there are no ponies whatsoever. I really hope it’s more than five chapters long. There’s so much sweetness pouring out that I think I’ll faint! LyraHands Hey! How come that’s allowed? There’s no Molly, no grand9, no corporations, Earth is only mentioned in passing. How is it fair this gets through curation? Not saying it’s bad, but what happened to the rules? MightyDragon Sorry, girls... he hasn’t been getting much sleep because of me. :( CodeFilly @MightyDragon: get some sleep :) And the reason it passed curation as because Luna officially announced there would be a Princess Jennifer series linked to MC. Now, if it turns out that I’m wrong and Princess Jennifer has nothing to do with MC, but is just another human series, I’ll take the blame. LightSparkle Hello, all! It’s been a while since I got to post here. First of all, some good news about Project Butterfly. It has been sold out and we’re doing a reprint. :) It’s true that we went ahead with a far smaller amount than our usual stories, but this is a huge thing nonetheless! Congrats to everypony involved and all of you that made this possible! (And of course LyraHands who is probably blushing right now as she reads this :P) As for Princess Jennifer, indeed it is linked to MC and the Crystal Empire. :) That’s all I could say for now :P Luna Hmm. I don’t know. I liked Space Molly better, but this one is fun as well. Maybe I’m just talking like this because it’s only the first chapter. We’ll see. *gasp* Cdi, MixaMax! Because of your absence I’ve started to become like you! I’ve been constantly complaining and noting that the good old days were better. Argh! Come back fast so we could start making fun of you again and I don’t have to be the grumpy one! RRBB Never ever mix alcohol and salt... it’s a really bad idea... YouKnowWho I found Jennifer and the Stars quite nice, with one small comment. I think the title should be AMONG the stars. The stars are clearly described as inanimate in this fic (as opposed to Space Molly), so using such a title is slightly misleading. Also, the ability to sing your way from one planet to another has no place in science. Granted that this is just a story and it perfectly okay to have outlandish explanations, I’d have preferred a slightly more science-based approach. If this is the core of Jennifer’s power, maybe she could weave objects out of soundwaves and construct the sails of a simple sailboat with which to go through the stars. Or even better, maybe she could weaken a cocoon that allows her to jump from one planet to the next? (If you require scientific based suggestions, don’t hesitate to poke me, okay? :)) I love the hoppees:) They are so amusing and funny. I felt like a filly again reading their descriptions. Keep on going! :) DarkSparkle Like, maybe you meant hippies? Tree @LyraHands: you got me! Guilty as charged! :P When Quarters shared the idea with me I just had to get involved. It’s so fun and we had a lot of laughs brainstorming, much to CEOWitch’s displeasure :P (he’s too curious for his own good. I still love him, though :)) Quarters is such a great author. I, honestly sad she doesn’t get as much attention as she should. :( @Tree: hoppees :) things that hop :P (funny thing, we based them on HopHop and they were a perfect fin :)) Brush How do you manage to write so well? :( I’ve been trying for what seems like ages, and I can’t write anything remotely good! :/ What am I doing wrong? I mean I follow the advice given, I try to read other works to improve. I edit my stories three times then give them to a few friends to pre-read and they still end up bleh and hurried by much better fics :( LittleFinger @LittleFinger: you just need to continue trying :) Your fics aren’t that bad, you just need to get used to expressing character voices better, and also focus a bit more on description. Candle used to have problems as well when she started, but her latest things are really really good. (Knitting Contest is so funny I got the hiccups:)) Just keep at it and you’ll get there ;) @Brush: so sneaky! LyraHands @RRBB: I knew you’d be the one talking behind my back! :P Yes, thank you all for the tons of PMs. I won’t get all mushy saying how much it means, because you know it already and I have an image to uphold :) But yes, we’ve been on cloud nine last few days. Poor Jade is sleeping comfortably now, after staying awake for three days straight (that colt sure is excitable :)). Before you ask, I have no idea what names I will choose and neither does Jade, so quit badgering me about it! As for the story... I agree. It’s cute and nice and I need to see where it’s going before I can add anything more :P MixaMax Her royal grumpiness is back, everypony! Things can get back to normal. I’m sure that within days we’ll learn why we are all mistaken about everything and how Mistmount volume 3 was the best! :P RRBB Ha! Please, that would be too obvious. For starters, I think Project Butterfly was okay... especially since you weren’t writing for it! I don’t want to imagine the pain all of us would have been subjected to if you had. MixaMax Vanhoover is completely frozen! Stay indoors and have lots of firewood ready! Bob
