Twilight Sparkle loves books, but is that even legal?
When Twilight realizes that she loves books, and not in the way you love your grandmother, she embarks on a quest to discover if her love is legally allowed. Along the way, Rainbow Dash and Applejack try—and fail—to talk her out of her madness. Trixie, upon hearing about Twilight's passion for books, hatches a plan to get the lovestruck mare to fall for her. Shenanigans and absurdity ensue.
Written during a tea-fueled bout of midnight-madness induced by looking at one too many Twixie pics on deviantart. Someone save me from myself...

That was hilarious! Hahaha awesome! Keep up the good work! Have a like and a fave!
What the hell did I just read? And why do I want to read it again?
YUS

In Soviet Russia, book curls up to you!

It's probably voodoo magic or something. Don't fall for it!

Thanks!

Well. That happened.
...huh. That. Yep. So... anyone want to get some coffee?
What the hell did I just read and why do I want to do unspeakable things to my Star Wars book collection...?

*wrings hands while laughing maniacally*
Okay, I snerktled a number of times. I hope that makes you happy.
But I contend that true love can only be between a man and his Firebird.
Okay, that was hilarious. Fav'd.
This is mad genius, dude.
The pain of an aspiring author!
This was ridiculous and hilarious and you should feel good about yourself.

There can be no purer love than the love felt from the purr of a 1969 Pontiac V8 engine as you fly down the road at 90 miles an hour.
and for the record, that did make me happy

That was actually a thinly-veiled jab at authors who use saidisms far more than they should, but your interpretation also works, heh.
Wait, Trixie spent the past 2 years being a book?
2611911
Sure, why not? She was a book, time didn't matter to her.
Lol ok so that happened. And I loved it!
The thing that continuously impresses me about you is how smegging easily you seem to draw comedy out of your writing. It seems like every single action taken by any character is funny in one way or another. And if they can't do or say anything funny, you add something comical in your narration. I could never achieve such a steady stream of ideas if I spent the rest of my life writing humor.
I'm pretty darn happy to see another comedy from you; this brings back fond memories of laughing my way though Two Smoking Hooves. Their personalities aren't so bitingly exaggerated, but the laughs came just as easily.
Content: meh. The story was great, but I can't stand Twixie. Partly because I would prefer to see either mare shipped with Spike (especially Trixie), but mostly because there is Twixie material everywhere. Frankly, I'm kinda sick of it. And despite it being so heavily incorporated into the fandom, there is distressingly little interaction between Trixie and the most important person in Twilight's life.
Loved the humor, turned off by the Twixie. It of course has an upvote from me, but I'm honestly on the fence about favoriting. Maybe later.
Don't hold your breath unless you're, like, a crocodile or something.

I was hoping you'd come in here and comment at some point.
It really warms the cockles of my heart to know that you think I can actually be funny consistently. Hell, I don't even think I'm funny consistently. This was basically just a long stream-of-consciousness fic that I wrote while imagining "What's the dumbest, silliest way I can get Twilight and Trixie together?" and "I wonder how many stupid references I can cram in here before anyone notices?" Seriously, this fic is like 50% references.
Anyway, it felt good for me to write another comedy as well. I really enjoy being all srs bsns with Letters, but it's fun to just write a dumb story every now and again. I've actually got another one that I'm sorta kinda working on that hopefully I'll have done at some point. I'm really glad that you enjoyed it so thoroughly, despite your Twixie hatred, which I totally get by the way.
This fic was actually meant to be satirical in a way, silly yes, but also with lots of jabs at other fics. The way I just toss Trixie and have her be in love with Twilight for no reason other than "because I said so" was making fun of how people really do that, and in fact that's the basis for many Twixie fics. I guess this fic was sort of my send-up of shameless Twixie fics. Hell, the ending is a pretty good indicator of that when Twilight just says, "Meh, good enough." As much as I love Twixie, I completely acknowledge that it's way overdone and pretty trite at this point, but my god is it fun to write.
Anywho, again, glad you enjoyed it and I'm happy you upvoted it as well, but whether or not you favorite it is totally up to you. Just the fact that you read and commented is enough for me.
2612225 Y'know, earlier I read about how Mark Twain made fun of detective fiction in a similar way. I can't tell if you've done the same thing here, or if you have subtly worked your way around my logic to use it against me in order to manipulate me into favoriting your story! .... The former seems more likely.

It's a mystery.
I love—*notices large, scary man wearing a suit and sunglasses sitting near me*
...nothing at all. There is nothing I love. Period. Heh.
2612225
What's a cockle? It sounds inappropriate...
This is so random that it actually made perfect sense. Like a fox.
dafuq is this?
*reads*
So much alliteration!!
TwiBook is most hilarious ship...

Its a shellfish, i eat them from time to time. Why does he have shellfish in his heart?
This site keeps managing to surprise me.
What's next, shipping Twilight Sparkle with her scrolls?
Rainbow Dash, with a Daring Do poster or cardboard cutout?

While it may be be immoral to love books. Its obviously okay to love ebooks on Kindles...right?
*POLICE! OOEN UP!*
"“Someone’s excited,” Spike chuckled."
You know, only if you want to change it...
Typo, it's somepony.
"edge. “I don’t care what anyone says!” she cried. “I. LOVE"
And this would be anypony.
Probably one of the funniest fanfics I've read in a while...I don't think I've seen anyone use this is a while, so here's my chance!

Silly! Silly silly silly!
District Attorney: This is a tricky case.
Chief of Police: What's tricky about it? She's clearly guilty of forbidden love! We should throw... the...
DA: You see?
CoP: ... well played, Twilight Sparkle. Well played.

It sounds absolutely disgusting. Even more so when I realized it was in your heart, as your heart would be pumping shellfish juices through your veins.
Free love!
And I now have to get drunk. Nice work. You get an upvote.

Save you from what? You're on the path to enlightenment. *monocle*
This was an extremely absurd story. And yet I loved it. Well played...
You get a fav.
I'm not sure whether I love
this or hate
this!
Haha, awesome! Excellent writing, and a surprisingly lovely ending as well
Nice one!
Brilliant!
That is all.
So....
Is this the mystical Luna's Fanfiction?
2613882 I'm sure you meant...
Booklight.
Well, what can I say? It's Twilight being romantically in love with books! What could be a better farcical subject for our favorite book-ish mare.
I had a few minor gripes in the beginning, but considering I totally forgot what they were by the end, they were probably not all that important. Towards the end, we were getting into "Spaceballs" levels of silliness, and I really have no business criticizing something that's not supposed to be taken seriously.
Really, my only wish at this point is that it had been even MORE over-the-top. Like, I dunno, a sequel to this staring Derpy. And her love of muffins.
My God.
I don't even usually like these sorts of absolutely ridiculous stories. But this one had be laughing all throughout. The thing I like about this story is that is was utterly hilarious, bu didn't get too outrageously crazy. There's a fine line between a story that is funny because of its absurdity, and a story that is annoying and unreadable because of its absurdity. I have no idea where that line is, but this story didn't cross it, so very nicely done in that respect!
Although, one question remains: Who is the author of the daring do books? O_O
what the heck did I just read!?!? xD xD
I seem to be in that weird part of FimFiction again
Please don't hurt me crazy story
