Thanks Daring. Appreciate the support from a heroic mare like you as I prepare to engage in combat with a pony like Trixie.
Also, I think you need your own emote. Something representing heroism. :daringdodeathdefyingdive: or :daringdefiant: or :howamievergonnagetouttathisone:. Something kick-flank like that.

You're welcome :ajsmug:

and yes that is true :moustache:

Huh how does a story exist in a story? Paradox.:pinkiecrazy: This is going be awesome.:pinkiehappy:

Cool. You're a halfling named Night Glider working for Unicorneversal Studios. You work as a keygrip at the studio and your hobbies include chillin, Super Smash Bros. and parties you can't remember but hear about a week later. You met the CMC when they attempted to get their cutie marks in go-kart racing. You don't see eye-to-eye with most pegasi, gryphons or alicorns; you don't understand 'feathers' or why they have so much trouble taking care of their wings. Being a halfling, your wings are easier to manage and you're capable of hanging upside down for long periods. This makes you perfect for various tasks in the studio.

2593032 Works for me, just one small thing...He's a Halfling (half Thestral and half pony) . Notice his eyes aren't cat like. This isn't hugely important but I thought I should make that known. Shadow is an awesome name by the way. (Even though its Night Glider. But Shadow is fine by me.) Can't wait to see him in your story.:pinkiehappy:

This gonna be good :ajsmug:

My only regret is that it's taking me so long to get to the goodness.

2610587

It's fine,I can wait :twilightsheepish:

What about Fluttersized 3?

Hurray! This story is getting (more) awesome and my OC is in a really good fan fic. This just made my day!:pinkiehappy:

As this has the term "Alternate" in the title, it takes up where the Alternate chapters left off. Fluttersized 3 on the other hoof takes up where the regular non-alternate Fluttersized chapters left off. In both scenarios, the events leading up to Chapter 5 are the same: Fluttershy became a giant and rampaged through Ponyville, Twilight and Trixie got in an argument trying to return her to normal which led to her fleeing to be found by Discord who deharmonized her.
In the primary story, the not-so jolly gray giant Fluttershy returns to Ponyville and continues the destruction. In the alternate story, Fluttershy proceeds to Canterlot and gets in a fight with giant Rainbow Dash.
In the primary story, Twilight's sizing spell shrank all of Equestria as Focusphobia first guessed. In the alternate story, Twilight's spell hit Cloudsdale and gigantified it and all the pegasi there. So they're two different realities, two different situations caused by the same spell. Also in both, Michael Hay kidnaps me during the writing of the primary story and the subplot is me learning to put faith in my own ideas and give them a chance despite what I believe others might think of them. A literal and literary journey of self-discovery I actually undertook during the writing of the story.
I didn't like Fluttersized at first. It was something I wrote as a joke in my spare time, nothing I intended to extrapolate on beyond a simple concept. Michael Hay's intervention represents my own inner feelings, ideals and ideas taking hold of me and forcing me to take a new look at my own dark side in order to find a bright side.

Something else I noticed...
Barro reads stories about Rainbow Dash.
Rainbow Dash reads stories about Daring Do.
And Daring Do reads stories about me, apparently.
Fanfiception?

2611006

Understood.

Hmm Fanfiception? I like it,it works.

2610950
Your OC's been in it from the beginning Shadow. In the alternate chapters where a group of ponies are pulling the stagecoach? I always intended for Night Glider to be one of them. It represented how your own feedback and that of the audience was literally pulling me in a direction, having an effect on the story.

2611019
Hmm. I'll have to start writing on that.

2611034 Huh. Well thats interesting.

2615987
Yay! Also, I'm going to need you to wear a disguise and deliver a pizza.

Yay! :pinkiehappy: Brohoof! (\ I love the reference and the chapter :pinkiehappy:

2616718 You'll have your own personal reference in one of my stories when it's published just for daring to be Daring.

Wow you made my OC look awesome! :rainbowdetermined2: Also that bit where he slammed the pizza into Trixie's face had me in tears.:rainbowlaugh:

GAH! cliff hanger!! :raritydespair::raritydespair::raritydespair:

Awesome chapter :pinkiehappy:

2648832 Hi, David Hasselhoof here for Barro and Michael. They're running for their lives at the moment but they're happy you enjoyed their hilarious peril. Barro also wanted me to let you know he's come up with a male counterpart for you, Go Gallant, a pony adventurer like yourself and he asked me to ask you what you think. Thanks again!

2648970

A male counterpart? :moustache: I like the idea :ajsmug:

2648999 The name though, how do you like the name?
Sorry, still running for life.

2649015

I like the name,so it's perfect.

I hope they're going to be ok :derpyderp2:

Why...My wings.:fluttercry:
Poor Night Glider . Anyways, this was your funniest chapter yet and the giant Trixie just adds loads of fun all around. Can't wait for the next chapter.

2650004 WHY ARE YOU TALKING?! RUN FOR YOUR LIFE, IT'S THE TRIXTITAN!
<Experiencing technical difficulties, please stand by>
Hi there, David Hasselhoof again. Thanks so much for being a part of... whatever this is and Barro wants to let you know he had a chance to look at Crusaders of the NLR. He liked it a lot, especially the scene at the barn, feels its perfect and adorable. And don't worry about your wings, they will be perfectly fine as per the disclaimer at the top of the story where it says "No pony was harmed during the writing of this fan fic"......... wait what? Hold on a second.
...
...
...you forgot? Oh dear, ummm... this is a little awkward but you're gonna wanna keep running. Yeah, don't let me take any more of your time, just go, GO!

Another great chapter :moustache:

This chapter kept me grinning the whole way through. Nicely done.:pinkiehappy:

2677866 As did the latest chapter of Crusaders for me. You're pretty talented yourself and I kept having to stop every couple seconds because I wanted to hug the teenage CMC and help them fight the Revolution Cleaners.

2677680 You're only too kind Daring. I'm also coming up with a little surprise regarding our earlier discussion. I think you'll find it interesting when I'm ready to submit it.

2678031

:heart: And I look forward to it! :pinkiehappy:

2677953 Thanks. :pinkiehappy: I will try to have the next chapter out by Friday.

Hmm at least we know what Flim and Flam are up to :ajsmug:

2732460 Yes. They've been living double lives secretly managing a chain of super stores named after themselves.:rainbowlaugh:

"RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!" Luna said in the Royal Canterlot Voice. "THERE IS A GIANT MONSTER OUTSIDE THAT WANTS TO EAT YOU!"

This reminded me of a scene from Sponge Bob. Man what a good chapter. Well done.:rainbowdetermined2::rainbowlaugh:

So much LOL! in this XD :rainbowlaugh::rainbowlaugh::pinkiehappy:

"Does anypony hear that rigning noise?" Barro asked, still staring at Trixie.
The four others stopped to listen. "What ringing noise?" Celestia asked.
"You should be hearing a ringing sound."
"Why?" Michael asked.
"BECAUSE I BUCKING CALLED IT!" Barro shouted.

:rainbowlaugh:
So much awesomeness in this chapter!:rainbowdetermined2:
Only one thing that bugs me, why didn't Luna and Celestia just teleport out?:rainbowhuh:

2771342 It's likely Trixie would've seen the flash instead of being preoccupied with destroying the building long enough for them to fly out. That and you can't use the teleport cure for everything. Even in the show, they don't teleport in some places when they really should. You can explain it several ways but why waste time? They flew out.
