Sparkler


Not the G1 Sparkler. Nor the G3.5 Sparkler. Nor the G4 Draft Sparkler. Nor the Winningverse Sparkler (even though she's awesome).

My penis approves of this.

Another lyric warned the listener to fear the dark

I have a constant fear that something's always near!

That was...quite hot! A+ good job!

Didn't we see them both together at the wedding, though? :rainbowhuh:

That was... wow. Talk about top-quality word smithing. You used your fingers prettier than a twenty dollar whore.

:rainbowwild:

I checked for canon screenshots of the two together before I started writing, so I don't think so... but if that's the case, my official explanation is that the second one was just a remix.

Or look at it this way: Shining Armor, by virtue of his position as captain of the Royal Guard, has access to highly restricted areas that most ponies wouldn't be allowed anywhere near. Like, say, the Starswirl the Bearded Wing with all the time travel spells in it...

They aren't just in the same panel, but she got her Cutie Mark because of him.

3593602>>3593829
That said, the comics and the show seem to have slightly different canons. It doesn't really make much sense that comic Twilight meticulously calculated that Cadance and Shining were soulmates, yet show Twilight was completely in the dark as to who Shining's fiancee was at the start of A Canterlot Wedding. So, I guess this story is compatible with show canon, but not comic canon.

And on the subject of the story, that was really good! I loved the descriptiveness, and after having a few vague suspicions about the identity of the fan, the ending was a nice little pay-off. Great work!

This confuses me.

Didn't Vinyl DJ at Shining Armor's wedding?

Mirror Pool.

Bam.

As disturbing as most clop is, I actually liked the premise. Are you planning to do more with it?

3593973 No one knew about that until Pinkie found it, which was after the wedding.

The story was superb and grand on its own, but I must confess, the wedding, Shining Armor and Vinyl are present.

HOLY CRAP.

This was beyond incredible.

~Skeeter The Lurker

Hahahah! Oh, wow.
:rainbowlaugh:
So thanks for that.

3593988

Actually for all we kniw others could have known about the mirror pool but it was just a really well kept secret

Dis. I like dis.

Kind of want to see Cadance warping his personalities further apart, playing up the masculinity/femininity of each... which would be sort of opposite of the personality's actual gender.

In any case, this was really hot.

For what it's worth, I tried to depict Shining Scratch (yay alliteration!) as fully bigendered - neither half being 'false', just two different presentations of the same personality.

I'm not certain I pulled it off. Then again, you don't get any better as a writer if you only do things you already know how to do.

3596523

What I meant was that it could be worked to something approaching full DID/MPD and that between Shiny and Scratch, Scratch is the more masculine, and while Shiny isn't exactly girly, it probably wouldn't be hard to twist him that way.

>story premise

i smell a winner here.....

oh god that cover art , makes me umph every time i stare into his/her eyes , makes me to super excited can wait till i can read this.....

I fucking loved this. :pinkiehappy:

awww , i was hopping there would be a lot more on the characterization of shiningscratch , but i guess that's what i get for a 7k word clop fic....

ugh and that tease at the end >.< , i don't know what this thing needs though if it's a sequel , more , a remake , what....

3596523 i think you did rather well in portraying that here , just didn't give yourself enough room to work with , like 85% of this fic was scene building......

3596700 the canon for this is they have a similar body build , and since scartch has always been behind a dj stand and hasn't worked in close with anyone it's believable to have gotten away with that....

Multiple personality disorder? This fic was great!

So he DJed at his own wedding?

Heh so now because I read this I can't seem to break up the mental link between those 2 ponies! Lol thanks a lot and nice work! :pinkiehappy:

guys , i figured out the resolution to this conundrum , anyone remember exactly how vinyl scratch got in the same location separate from shining armor?....

because pinkie pie

that is all.....

3602369

Good point pinkie pie is the answer to everything unanswerable

3602908
So what you are saying is is that nothing is unanswerable because pinkiepie. Which creates an answer to everything, which makes it so that pinkie pie can no longer be the answer to everything because she already is and-

OKAY KIDS CONFESSION TIME WHO STOLE THE TARDIS?

Herp Derp.

3598980:pinkiegasp: I feel the same way! I don't know what it needs either! Sequel, prequel, side-quel, inbetweenquel, whatever. It just needs MORE!

3596523also a few questions that may or may not inspire said MORE!:twilightblush:
When after the wedding does this take place? Before or after the Empire returns?:rainbowhuh:
How could this Duel-life be effected by it's return?:twilightoops:
How could Shinning Scratch have effected the events during the return? :moustache:
What was the "Talk" like the next morning?:trollestia:
How will this effect the Marriage?:ajsmug:
How will it effect their sex life?:rainbowwild:
Which Gender does Shining Scratch identify with more?:unsuresweetie:
How would Twilight react if she found out?:fluttershyouch::twistnerd:

3603317 idk where you were going with what he said , but that line of reasoning is separate from my explanation for keeping head canon with this....

I'm pretty disapointed this is a clopfic; you could do so much more with the double life premise than just sex-nanigans.

I've already got two bigendered Vinyl Scratch stories I'm working on. I don't want to erect a monopoly on the concept. :eeyup:

3604204 Are these stories related to this one in any way?:trixieshiftright:
Also did any of my questions help at all, I know they probably didn't, but if they did that would be so awesome.:rainbowkiss:

i fucking knew i've seen your icon before , i thought it was just generic ugly anime looking person , but it's a little more obscure than that isn't it?......

Yes, Yajima Mirei is my avatar, because I basically have her face and build.

3605030 i see , idk anything about the character's or anime , only see some of it in searches on that site....

That... Was weird. Made me remember the famous "It's a TRAP!", but still...

Pros:
-an interesting approach at Vinyl's personality.
-picturesque and vivid environment; the way you describe the music almost makes the reader hear it.
-dat wuz hawt. :rainbowwild:

Cons:
-well... I may sound like a prude, but - the genderbending and transvestism are exactly not my cup of tea. This rustles my jimmies.
-typos. Typos everywhere, but that's just a nitpicky me.
-the structure of the whole story is kind of... Ragged. Sometimes you can just get lost in time, not knowing where were you and what comes next, so you'd have to reread and try to comprehend again.

All in all, this is a jolly good one-time read. Aside from all the drawbacks I've mentioned, this is a thing I could've enjoyed.

7/10 and an upvote.

Keep up the good work, author, but please, a small inquiry to you: don't do trans again. This is seriously a very... Piquant topic, and it takes a specific mindset.

No offense.

Captain Hawkri out. ^v^(\

:pinkiecrazy:
"Because Pinkie Pie" is the most appropriate answer for everything strange that doesn't make sense in MLP.
Because Pinkie Pie.

This. Just freaking epic! :rainbowlaugh::rainbowlaugh::rainbowlaugh:

It was pretty interesting. Obviously, there are plot holes (of both varieties, heh) but they don't kill the story.

The one thing I found distracting was the narration consistently calling Shining/Vinyl female, regardless of who he is. Especially since it goes through a couple bits talking about the double life, it might have been good to change it up in a few places, but that's just me picking nits.

XB I do like the implications of Cadence being the stallion at the next show :p

And once again, Cadence gets painted as being the princess of love and being very 'open minded' about it's interpretations. I love when people write her that way :p

Love the story, but gonna have to call bullshit on it. Why you may ask? Because Shining armors muzzle is totally different from Vinyl Scratches.

saw that coming a mile away:pinkiesmile::eeyup:

3606925 Technically wouldn't it be cross-dressing since transgender's actually the change of a gender whilst Shining was still male, disguised as a female thus making it cross-dressing.... I think.

Also, Mr. Author mans, it was VERY predictable that it would be Cadence from the start. How would Shining have fooled everyone into thinking he's a mare since he, like all the males, have a square broad snout? It's a nice concept but doesn't make much sense. But I could totally see how it could work hypothetically, being similar in colors, but again, the snout.

As weirded out as i am by this, it was frickin awesome

This shouldn't be a one-shot, the premise is too good!
