The Conflicted Writer


T

A single normal day, a trip to a friend's home... it all turns sour as shadows from the past attack the present. To learn is the past's only use, as Applebloom comes to understand. The steady beat in the march of time may be lenient on her, but the past cannot be changed. The future, however, can be rewritten.

This is great. Please continue this!

Hmmm....an interesting take on the Story of the Blanks. Perhaps if she survives, the headstrong little filly can actually learn something from it instead of avoiding learning things like she usually does.

What the... I have no idea what's going on, but I'm certainly intrigued! Great writing style, engaging prologue, wonderful start! Looking forward to the next chapter.

Hopefully. That's what I'm going for in this story.

I know it's a bit off the wall right now, but there is a method to my madness. Thanks for the compliments.

It's so great! I can't wait to read more of it! :raritystarry:

Very impresive I must say. I do want to see where this goes and how does it turn out for good... or bad. Lets hope the next episode is as long as this one, but comes up fast ;3

My first thought upon reading this chapter: Great, another time travel fic. Sigh.

My second thought: Wait, this is actually handling time travel in a somewhat logical manner. Awesome!

Anyway, yeah, I'm really starting to enjoy this story. You've managed to set up a pretty big conflict; bringing in the Village of the Blanks was a nice touch. You've given us a fairly easy to handle twist: Applebloom gets to travel back one day, and try to fix everything. Still, you've also managed to include a few odd mysteries, such as Whoove's and Big Mac's behavior. I'm honestly curious as to what makes these guys so special, and I get the feeling that you're going to reveal it to us in a fairly impressive manner.

Finally, I want to comment on your inclusion of the Time Alicorn. Namely, that you're doing a great job of it. Instead of giving some convoluted explanation for its existence, you simply gave him to us. No backstory, no explanation. He's just there. And I love that.

All in all, this story actually feels like a mystery. There are so many things left to explain, elements of the story that you've kept hidden. And I desperately want to know what they are. So, bottom line, I love your story. Can't wait for the next chapter.

I'll bet all my pony themed socks you read "Double Rainboom" and all it's madness.:derpyderp1::derpyderp2:

In any case, thanks for the encouraging words. I work best with simple ideas. The only unfortunate thing is that simple ideas are the ones that are beaten to death and not used properly.

In response to the Alicorn, I'm glad someone too note of that. I'm basing him off of old fairy tales in a sense where gods and spirits did cool stuff and had rules and the like, but no real back story. He's important, but he's there just to exist which, in my opinion, isn't such a bad thing.

If this feels like a mystery, I have succeeded. :yay:

You, sir/ma'am, should have all my bits. Here. Take them. Just keep writing exactly like this.
FOREEEEEEVVVERRRRrrrrrrr... :pinkiecrazy:

12190 "Double Rainbow" is undoubtedly a great story. I just have no idea what the hell is going on there.

And yes, simple ideas and concepts are the best. You don't need an epic battle, a life-changing discovery, or a shocking revelation to make a great story. Just an idea, and a masterful presentation. And, again, you've certainly got the presentation down.

In conclusion, Tom Bombadil. Nuff said.

You must continue writing this piece Of art This makes the story of the blank flanks much more interesting

BRILLIANT! ingenius!! you should write more chaps (OHH! wait till they post that ep about applebloom that will appear.

:pinkiegasp::pinkiegasp::pinkiegasp::pinkiegasp:Oh my Celestia....Dude! :raritystarry:When I found this story, I ACTUALLY Squee'd!:pinkiehappy: I'm not even REGISTERED, but I may do that now, if only to add this to a tracking list thing. YAY!:yay:

PLEASE FINISH THIS. I'VE BEEN WAITING SO PATIENTLY.

I know, I know. Real life has sucked royally for me this past month. I've been trying to perfect the first two chapters and am dealing with school and personal issues. For all of you waiting (and I sure do feel awesome knowing people are waiting! :heart:) I'm sorry and will post it as soon as I can get arounf to actually finishing it..

It's nice to see a response, thanks. <3 This is the only ponyfic I've ever really gotten into. I'LL BE WAITING. >:3

This is quite an interesting tale so far...

Consarn it! now i got to read this fanfic so i can understand whats with the whole zombie thing and what applebloom's got to do with this to understand "Waking nightmares" new chapter. to many fanfics, so little time to do so!!!!!!!!

Very well written so far, Interesting story with little to no spelling or grammatical errors! :pinkiehappy:

Fantastic. I have to say, I was a bit dreading the "time/clocks" motif at first, since it's often over-used/misused, but this story is suited to it perfectly and it all works very well.

Please update soon. Is v. good!

If i EVER EVER hear static While reading something scary, The room im in will become empty.

Can you please continue this awesome story???

How were you able to put so many pony tags on this? I thought the limit was only five

4017549
They were put on before the limit was introduced.

4679084 If the story is dead, then you should put it on 'canceled status'.
I find it upsetting how many people a neglecting to do so.

That depressing moment when one of the best stories to ever grace fimfiction dies...d**n. I had such high hopes for this too.
