Bookish Delight


I've moved on from Fimfiction. New works on AO3!

Rainbow Dash and Twilight Sparkle get up close and personal with a thunderstorm.

(Written before the 1000 word minimum was put in place. I've been here a long time. ^^;)

An audio reading can be found here. Thanks, Zeus! <3

Short and sweet. Twi/Dash in any setting wins for me!

:pinkiesad2: And then they get hit by a lightning bolt.

New speed scale: Fast, Way Too Fast, Hyperdrive, Plaid, Awesome. :twilightsmile:

beutiful. just beutiful.

I hate that 1000 word limit :twilightangry2:
You HAVE to write you first chapter more than 1000 words
I wrote one that had 990 I had to put Random gibberish at the end
GAH Sfax gadget gasbags ahxhshd ahxhshd ahxhshd suchDsch chech used

Wow spell check made those words from Random typing :rainbowlaugh:

Finally, someone who knows how to use present tense effectively. I love the way the cadence of the writing mimics the storm.

One tense slip though:
"She crisscrosses the murky skies, seemingly dodging bolts as they appeared on both sides."

Cute, fun little story. There isn't much to it, but it's got a certain minimalistic charm - just a snippet of interaction between two friends with a dash of excitement. Lovely! :heart:

Awww.
It feels weird to read such a short story here on FIMFiction, but I think the minimalisticness works well with it.

This was too short. Just wanted to be honest with you. =) Now I understand why they put in a 1k word limit.

I hope you didn't take any offense to my comment about the length. Sometimes I say something only to realize after the fact that it might come off as insensitive.

Some like it, some think it's too short. It's not my place to care all that much. :raritywink:

I want to say there was an EQD contest back then to write 300-word fic. That's where this and the Trixie short came from.

Doing some lighter reading tonight. :scootangel:

I'll concur with a prior comment that this piece has the feel of a free verse poem. Part of it's the urgency of present tense, part of it's the use of just enough alliteration and inner rhyme and repetition to give the whole thing flow in a way that feels intentional.

Only so much room for substance in a story this short, but it sells the atmosphere, and someone getting dragged into midnight thunderstorm riding for the sake of sharing the thrill is one of the most Rainbow Dash things I've ever heard. gonna start counting how many times this happens
