Interesting... also, beat any famous people to the comments :pinkiecrazy:

Uh... Oh. Can't say I expected this. Huh.

This was...surprizingly sweet... I wanna know what happens later on in this universe, as being bullied would probably make these two less likely to be bullies themselves...or not... :twilightblush:

2963123 2963501 It certainly was interesting to write. For some reason, I enjoy projecting Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon in a slightly better light. When I saw Futaquestria's contest launch, I couldn't help but think that this would be a wonderful opportunity to write a unique fic featuring these two, with the serious issues of bullying, fear, and acceptance in mind.:pinkiesmile:

That being said, I'm ashamed to admit that I kinda had this running joke in my head while writing it. "Diamond Tiara is a massive prick, and here's why," with the subtext "Diamond Tiara has a massive prick." Shameful, I know, but my brain is goofy like that.:facehoof:

Stop making this such a cute ship!

2963883 ... Somehow, I would not be surprised to hear Futa!Tiara x Futa!Spoon is your OTP now.

Interesting choice. I look forward to seeing what you've done with the theme.

2964305 Even if I didn't quite nail what you were looking for, I'm happy with what I've done, and that's all that matters in my book.:raritywink:

D'awww. This was a really sweet story. :twilightsmile:

Also, nice metaphor there...having Diamond hide in the closet. :moustache:

This story was surprisingly poignant. I was expecting the situation to be more played for laughs rather than the serious take on it that you have written. I enjoyed it though, even if I don't normally like DT & SS as characters.
I'm a dirty dirty man though, because after that sweet story all I can think of is that I want to see a story of their first "sleepover":raritywink::rainbowlaugh:

2968601 Even if I had less than serious thoughts at times while writing this [see earlier comments], I honestly couldn't bring myself to maliciously approach such a theme. I'm too supportive of the LGBT to do something like that. I'm glad you enjoyed it though.

I think you did a great job on the story! :pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy:

This was really well written and I enjoyed every word of it. I must ask though. This:

{~H - a - D~}

Is there a meaning behind the letters? I'm not slandering it in any way, I am merely curious.

3139506 It's simply a fanciful divider. Also, perhaps take a look at the title of the story and compare it to that divider.:raritywink:

Glad you enjoyed the story, by the by.
.

3139672 :facehoof: I feel like an idiot. I don't pay enough attention I guess. Thanks for sating my curiosity though. It is an interesting divider.

Ehhh. As good as this story is, and as good as the message "cheer up, because there are others just like you" is, I don't like this very much.

It promotes the idea that the only people who will ever accept you are the people who know first-hand what you are going through. I'd much rather Silver had accepted Diamond not because she herself was a futa, but because she honestly thought that picking on others because they are different is wrong.

This story is acceptance via empathy. That is often a given. Acceptance via sympathy is a more necessary idea to promote, as it allows everybody, not just those who suffer as you do, to start helping.

What of the other fillies and colts? If/When they discover, will they be accepting or be like the foals from Detrot? I think that is a much more interesting story.

3162338 Part of the reason I went with acceptance via empathy is because the contest that the story was written for had a soft limit of 4k words. Acceptance via sympathy is a topic that requires a lot more buildup that I did not reasonably expect myself to fulfill within or around four thousand words. Just writing this in thirty-three hundred words felt incredibly expedited to me. If I had railroaded the sympathy, I honestly don't think the story would have had the same effect for the judges who read it and deemed it the winner. It most certainly is nice to look at what I could have done, but I'm certainly not going to scoff at where what I have done has gotten me.
:raritywink:

3162538
Oh well. I still enjoyed the story, and I still upvoted it:twilightsmile: I think I didn't make it clear in my original post that I did like it a lot.

3162913 If it makes you feel better, I have been bouncing around the idea of a sequel to Hard as Diamond. Unfortunately, it probably won't take priority over my main project.:twilightblush:

Fascinating, and the title makes perfect sense now. I wonder if this was a romance, which filly or colt she would date...

3213890 I'm not going to lie; in the state I'm in right now, I had a great difficulty understanding what you actually meant. That being said, if this were a romance fic or a rom-com, I'd probably go with the absurdest pairing [or is it?] and ship TiaraBloom.

Pretty sure I didn't sleep a wink last night. I thought I had been dreaming at some point, but more and more I'm convinced that my mind was simply in a hypercharged state that made my looped ponderings seem like dreams. I'd have liked nothing more than to finish The Public Life of Sweetie Belle before 'falling asleep' around 4:30am. Finished it this morning anyway just after ten. Almost done Broken Blossom. Can feels cause insomnia or psychosis, I wonder...

3214301
So, your "condition" is just you stayed up all night reading?

My insomnia had once led me to 'dream' I was awake... so I couldn't even tell if I had been awake all night, or if I'd been dreaming of being awake. That's why I'm glad I don't work night shifts anymore.

TiaraBloom would be incredible. You should give it a try for the sequel to this story... then again, you probably have less free time then us people who have fake-jobs.

3214934 Believe it or not, I'm a jobless [former] neckbeard trying desperately just to find a job. My writing is an outlet, my reading escapism. The only time I don't have on my hands is that during the time spent sleeping, cooking, or cleaning. Everything else is dictated by how compelled I feel to write.

Take my apparent 'condition'. Throughout the entire day, I've been sluggish, melancholic, tired, and halfhearted. I felt hollow inside and didn't want to do anything but read, to finish that trilogy. It wasn't until I finished Broken Blossom that I figured out what went on, and why insomnia struck. Throughout the end of The Secret Life of Rarity and the entirety of The Public Life of Sweetie Belle, I'd been growing more despondent—depressed, even. While the reasonable part of me wanted to fall asleep, that other part of me begged for me to plug on, hoping for a shred of happiness.

"I guess you were wrong, Mommy," she whispered. "I guess I really do have those sad feelings like Aunt Rarity."

When I reached this line, I had to stop. I was almost on tears at that point, and setting the eReader down and going to sleep seemed like the smart thing to do. Instead, I laid restlessly on my bed for the rest of the night, that situation replaying again and again in my head. Upon finishing the third story's epilogue this evening, I finally broke down, crying silently for but a few minutes, and my mood improved almost immediately. Even as I tidied up my appearance—tear-stained eyes are unbecoming, regardless of your gender, and the scruff of my beard somehow just channeled the tears into my ears—I felt compelled to think about my own work, where it's going, how I'd planned certain things, when I came to a conclusion; I don't want to do things exactly the way I had planned with the climax, which I'm now working on.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that you have more of a life than me, so you have more excuses for writing delays.:twilightblush:

3215119
Reminds me of Background Pony, and the TSLoR trilogy. A story gets so good and you're so invested that you stubbornly defy the tragedy tag, and continue reading. Surely the author mis-tagged it and the hero will have a happy ending. So you stay up and read in defiance, demanding to know what happened, hoping for a light at the end of the tunnel.

And then there is none, and you're crushed, depressed, and looking at your own stories and despising them.

3215148 Try as I like, I couldn't bring myself to finish Background Pony. I think I got to ten before I called it quits, not because of feels, but because I simply lost interest. The story was interesting, don't get me wrong, but it was just too wordy for me.

3215239
Yeah, about 400,000 words to wordy...

3216544 I mean in the purple prose sense.

Even though that last line was very predictable, it still made me feel emtional when it came up.

Nice work! Now I'm just wondering if there will be a sequel to this alternate universe of futa bullies.

MAN! i wish there was a follow up to this.
this....
maaaaaaaan

:raritydespair:

wait what

3310022 i know right

I'm sorry, but I could only think of one thing when I read "Detrot."

Disliking but only because I came here expecting clop.vnot ax but story otherwise.

Well written story and really cute conclusion :pinkiehappy:

I won't say that she didn't have it coming. :ajsmug:

3514665
Despite the description clearly stating that it was not a clopfic

4042802 Ever think that that part wasn't there 15 weeks ago?:moustache:

4043871 Pretty sure it was, given that I wrote it in following the initial rejection for incorrect rating.:pinkiecrazy: What do I know though.:raritywink:

4043999 exactly, what do you know? As a random person on thei nterweb I'm pretty sure I'm right, your wrong #NaNaDaBooBoo


4044346 :rainbowlaugh::rainbowlaugh::rainbowlaugh::rainbowlaugh:
Thanks for the laugh, I really needed that

Silver's cousin is either oblivious to Silver's condition, or a total (more so) plothole than they already are. Given the ending, bit of a convenience, sort of wish the cousin thing was expanded on a bit or the ending had a bit of a longer scene to break the reader in.

All in all, great story. I can see why they suggested the Mature tag despite every fiber of my being saying it should be Teen and proudly so, given how real a situation this is to some, but the constant talks about her girth and flagpoling felt unneeded once the points were made.

I still don't think it's /Mature/ to a point it should be blocked from public view filters as it feels insulting to censor any herms/intersex kids out there that don't want to be exposed to clop but still want to seek out stories with such relatable content.

Could use a bit of cleaning up, again the cousin scene just adds more questions than the left-field and yet all too convenient twist at the end. Would of been nice to hear Silver tell a tale of why she relates to Diamond in some way. Besides the obvious.

All that aside, I thought it was a wonderful story.

Hm... have to say, sounds like this could actually be an interesting story, despite the seeming "guy with tits" theme to it.
As, it unlike 90+ % of all stories that contains them, this doesn't seem like it intend to just fuck around with the topic.
