Oh Celestia, I came so hard!

2701338 Dude, did you read it yet?

Holy fuck a John Dies at the End crossover/tribute/thing. Never thought I'd see the day. I'm actually going to finish the last chapter of JDatE (which i've been sitting on for months. I'm weird, shut up.) and then give this one a go.

2701417 This is definitely a thing, you're right about that.

So I just watched the movie version for the second time this afternoon. No fucking coincidence here. None at all.

2701386
Yeah baby.

ok i am a rabid fan of the book and the movie. i'll give this a shot but those some big shoes to fill.

2701684 I talked to God, we timed this shit out bro.

2701789 Yeah, but I've always believed that if you don't have the balls to try then you don't deserve success.

I watched the film a few days ago, haven't read the book. It was entertaining, even if it didn't make much sense.

This story, I'm not going to read it immediately. I have a long to-read list but I'll be sure to get around to trying it.

HAIL KORROK!

2702557 Ok, I'd recommend reading the books though. Not because they're necessary for reading this, but they're just awesome.

But does Bon Bon still die in the end? I mean, she isn't even in the story yet.

2703716 Read and find out! Eventually.

2703821 I try

*sees title*
FUCK YEAH. JDATE was one of the funniest books I have ever read. Now to read the actual story...

2704411 And our survey says?

2704839 Hm... Good... though it could definitely use some more of the type of cool figurative language that JDATE uses.
Example (from the also extremely good sequel)- "Don't you get it? You're wasting your time, we're just some inconsequential dipshits in this whole thing. The people behind this will take out all three of us. We're all pawns. Well, you're a pawn, we're a couple of Gummi bears your retarded little brother stuck on the chessboard."

Also pony Detective Falconer is going to be making his appearance soon. Now that I've gotten the introduction out of the way I can use all of the jokes I didn't want to waste in the first chapter.

swing and a miss. good effort though.

2710465 Well you can't please everyone I guess

Thanks for at least commenting after your downvote, any advice you think can help me improve this?

2710796 won't lie im biased. read the book nine times before the movie was even being filmed. the balance between soul sucking lunacy and batshit insanity is a bit off. and very difficult to pull off. i give you full marks for bravery in trying this though.

2710826 Its tough, that's why I tried a tribute and not a full blown crossover. Tried throwing in Corner Guy to add to the depression, rereading it I think he comes off a little weak. Also matching David Wong's level of insanity is hard without flagrantly ripping him off, the guy has a very unique talent for the weird and humorous.

For downvoting me and being cool enough to say what you didn't like I give you 4 Photo Finishes out of 5:

2710862 as i said man. I'm pretty biased. you can chalk it up to that. your the one brave enough to try and not to sound pat but that's damned impressive.

I love you because you averted the scum on the face of ponydom that is Lyra/Bon Bon shipping.

2713057 I just don't ship the pairing any more in all honesty. I used to ship it, until I realized that 90% of Lyra/Bon Bon is just "Lyra likes humans, Bon Bon is normal". It just drives me insane to read the same thing over and over again.

2713075

Couldn't have said it better herself.
What I particularly dislike is that because of this ship, Bon Bon's fanon personality has become that of a fun-hating jerk who exists only to grumble at Lyra's Oh! So! Wacky! mannerisms.

At least OctaScratch (the other great fanon ship permeating everything) occasionally manages to make things fresh every once in a while.

2713093 I like writing Bon Bon different than most, she's fun to write if you make sure her character doesn't just revolve around Lyra.

Big Scratchintosh is best Vinyl ship by the way, until I decide on another random ship for her in another fic.

2713108

WarGame you are now my weird and unknown shipping loving brony brother.

I love big ScratchIntosh fan art (that's very small amounts of art)

NotePie
DerpyOC (because of "Shipping and Handling")
And
Fredtavia
(Fredrick is the piano stallion in the Gala episode
octavia is Octavia)

Oh and

CarBon.
(Caramel and Bon Bon.)

2765539 Haha I prefer to think outside the box with shipping in my stories, there's some odd shippings that I've been writing in my stories. I change ships at a pretty alarming pace.

There's gonna be another story coming out soon with some odd shipping, its like this little game I play with myself to see what pairings I can pull off in my stories.

2766013

Well your name has Game in it so its all good

It's like me with my sad/ tragic stories of which no one really reads.

Vinyl and I didn't share a word until we got back into town and went our separate ways, only saying our good-byes before she set off for her home. I didn't walk home though, I came here to sit on your little park bench next to the school. I'm not here to do much, just watch the little foals pick fights with each other to try and get there cutie marks, just feeling a little nostalgic about back when I was your age.

Yeah, that's how I got here.

2768851 No idea how I missed that, thanks for the heads up. Any opinions on the story apart from the punctuation error?

2768944

It's fun, I suppose. I never read the the story this is tributing, but I'm aware of it, I'm rather a fan of Cracked.

2769132 I would say read the book. Its no work of literary art, but its a ton of fun to read. Its a lot more inappropriate than this story, so just be aware of that. I tried to tone this down because I was submitting it to EQD.

I'm pretty sure that if I, like, put his spirit to rest or something like that, he would just disappear and stop puking all over my floor. Don't know how to go about that though, it’s not like in kids stories where it’s some middle class parent whose one regret is never letting their child know how much they love them. If that was the case then we'd just go through some sappy hour and a half about learning the value of love or whatever the moral value of the day is and call it a wrap. Hell, I'd probably meet a handsome pegasus stallion along the way and we'd live happily ever after.

Supernatural phenomena just work differently in the blue-collar neighborhoods.

It’s actually not so much emergency vodka, I just sort of keep it there for when I want vodka. Emergency enough, I guess.

But referring to a stash of alcohol as an "emergency" supply just adds that layer of legitimacy and deniability to one's drinking problems. It's not there for when you want it, it's there for when you NEED it.

This would be a good moment to note that she seems to get all of her ideas at raves, which are famous for being some of the greatest think tanks in Equestria.

They don't have much competition. The greatest academic institution in Equestria is more of a glorified dragon hatchery. It's most successful student got turned out of the school and was forced to do field studies in friendship. MIT it is not.

I brought my hoof down, caving in his already cracked and brittle skull. I ended what remained of Caramel's life.

A horrifying, brutal monster death in this story, and self-induced asphyxiation in another. I'm starting to see a theme here with Caramel.

What? Don't give me that look. Was it the porno comment? Everyone watches porn, don't act like you're some high-class asexual psycho-pony who never clopped before.

No, I don't care that you're only eight years old. For all of the fucks I give you can tell your parents about how I talk, they already hate me. If you want a story then you get the story I give you.

Nightwalker, you're a jerk. I love this already. One day I really need to finish John Dies At The End. I never could figure out if John actually Dies At The End.

7510152
Heh, that was one of Wargame's original lines, not mine. Though it is a good one

Spoiler: John dies within like the first 75 pages. He just doesn't stay that way. Blame the dog.
