Tinker was always the black sheep of her family. Though she is as greedy as the rest, while they preferred to play the goblin nation's stock-market, Tinker enjoyed creating various gizmos and gadgets for honest selling. Unfortunately, her own inventions always seemed to be quickly outclassed by those coming from leading companies (and sometimes tended to blow up).

This was until one day, Tinker had an idea. An idea that would send her half-way across the world. If her own people didn't want her inventions, perhaps she could make it big in a much more primitive nation...

Will Tinker find that money doesn't make the girl, and learn that the magic of friendship conquers all ambition? Well, probably not. She is a goblin after all. However, with a bit of effort, perhaps the socially awkward goblin will learn that friendship may be worth something after all...

First fic? Looking alright so far. Keep it up! Oh, and I vote that she tells the truth.

Not too bad: I like Tinker, even if she's a bit too similar to Twilight. I'll follow, though. However, I'm not sure about the whole interactive thing... so I'll just leave my answer blank for now.

I'm Garrus Vakarian and this is my favorite Warcraft Reference goblin in Equestria.

As for the vote, can it wait a minute? I'm in the middle of some calibrations.

I'm the god damned Goblin King and I approve of your message.

Vote C, you sell-out!

Eh, A or C will do. (They are pretty much the same, except A is less self-embellishing and C is more show offy.) Which matters on what you want to do with this character. Do you want her to be show-offy or more of an honest salesgoblin? (It seems, from what I've seen, she's not mean-spirited or super greedy like most goblins.)

Which reminds me. There is a nation of goblins in this world of yours? So does mine.:raritystarry:I've been thinking over the nations of my world, and a goblin nation fits right in. We geniuses think alike.

Also, this is the first story I know that centers around a goblin. Can't wait to see more.

Hmm interactive..... you are lucky I love goblins or the interactive part would have made me skip this story. Anyway go with a.

Heyo, thank you for taking the time to vote, everyone, but I've decided that I'm going to take the interactive part out of this tale. I have a path I want to take this character and story.

i vote that she says that shes wants to start a buisiness to help better equestria:pinkiehappy:

oh ya. how often do you think you'll be posting?

Only read the description, and I can already tell that you are good just by how you wrote that.
But I will withhold judgement until I read the chapter.

I am the leader of the Party Brigade and i support this fic.....:pinkiehappy:

DAMN IT Garrus!!!!! You done calibrating the orbital party cannon yet?!?!?:twilightangry2:

Hopefully every day this week :). It depends on how good my creativity flows. After that, maybe every other day? Not sure.

inb4 feature and Regidar.

Got that out of my system. Now to read.

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Loving iiiiiiiiitttt:pinkiehappy:

Well this is certainly original. Hope you update soon :twilightsmile:

Awww, that's sweet.:pinkiesmile:It looks like the start of a beautiful friendship. (Or more, if you're going that way.)

Our main lady just went from goblin Tinker to emotional to illegal trafficking in a span of one day.

Yippee! Changelings make the best sidekicks/assistants/guinea pigs for new inventions ever.

Goblins are all disgusting, vile creatures and have no place in Equestria.

Agreed good sir!
Also, as I suspected, this story has great promis. I look forward to future chapters.:pinkiesmile:

I was hoping someone would get the reference :).

Something about this is a weak sell. Maybe the cover image not really conveying "amazing stuff here."

*adds to the read later list*
is it just me or is the crossover tag missing?

"Maybe berry bushes," the male shrugged. "I dunno about individual berries. That'd be like saying an arm has a soul or something. They're just part of the plant."

If you think about it berries are the seeds of the bush, and seeds are like the babies of plants. So that means berries have, like..... baby souls.:rainbowhuh:

Oh our Lead character sure is sinking her problems deeper in her grave. As for that Changeling... it will be hilarious if that spider fell in love with him.

2 in one day?! You spoil us :P please continue to do so :)

I haven't seen any stories on Fimfic involving Goblins, so this is a new one. I like it. Keep it up.

I freaking love that you've turned the Will family into the Armstrongs :rainbowlaugh:

And the winner of best Alex Louis Armstrong impersonation is... Hunter Will, congrats Hunter first nomination first win.

So if a banana tree has the 'heart' shaped red skin covering the bananas... are we eating the insides of the heart of the banana?:twilightoops:

Hehehehehe... heheheheHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

At least keep this fic up. It gives me the drive I need to Play WoW with my Goblin Characters.

awww i havent had any story updates at all today AND WHAT DO I GET!!:flutterrage: you're such a tease :raritydespair:

Dammit Bob, I liked Inventing Happiness.

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaassaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaammit Bob, I was really pumped for the next chapter.

And to show my devotion towards this fic, all of the characters in this comment has but 1 tap each, which means I taped "a" a lot of times. I promise you this is legit.

Well this is a huge disappointment.

And we lose another candidate for our hearts and mind.:ajsleepy:

NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNMNNNNMNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!:raritydespair::raritydespair::raritydespair::raritydespair::raritydespair::raritydespair::raritydespair:
