WOOHOO! Update! 8D Might be a little bit short, but who cares?! Also, I SWEAR I have these Pinkie-esque senses! I was just thinking this morning at work, 'Huh, I wonder when Vampony is going to update?' and then I came here and it was! WOOHOO!

God damn it. Seriously? Why'd you leave it there!

****ING CLIFFHANHERS! MOAR!

*quickly reads* .... NOOO I have to wait again.

Aww, I had hoped that we'd see the sunblessed again this chapter. Oh well, sharing secrets and all that is awesome too!

836072>>836074>>836080

836088

Is there any chance of....

*Glances around suspiciously*

(Whispering) Pre-reading?

That was a horrible cliffhanger. And by horrible, I mean brilliant.

And the plot thickens...

What has Fluttershy been hiding?

Going to call it, Fluttershy is a Werepony!

836091>>836102

oh all the hints are there, just don't post your guesses in the comments.

Vampony! Update! Yay!
Why sleeping when there is more reading?

About chapter: Nice, nice. Very nice. More, please.

836107

Guessing doesn't cut it, I need to know what it is, otherwise I won't be satisfied, I think it is called Twilight Sparkle Syndrome.

836127

you could always try pming me the guesses and i'll tell you if you're right or not. like I said, the information is there.

836154

I can wait (I hope), it will be much better (slightly) to wait for the next chapter.

I got a good guess, but I hope you update soon. THE SUSPENSE IS KILLING ME!!!

836154

You annoying person you. After glancing through again, there is *something* screaming in my head but I can't convince it to tell me what it is

836195

ooh i'm loving these mindgames

wath now what will fluttershys secret be , i need to know

all you people are gonna kick yourselves when i reveal it, it's right there if you make the connections.

HA-HA! I really am glad i stuck to this once it was published!
836154
You can't disappoint dude!

As your editor, this chapter was great; it flowed well and developed the plot and all that good stuff. As a reader, I hate this chapter because fucking cliffhangers. About Fluttershy, is she any of my wild stabs into the dark that I had at the end of the word doc (Please be the second one. I love those things)?

well mint has a basis in greek mythology. in greek its menthe, which is also the name of a nymph or nature spirit, which kinda works with fluttershy's animal thing. also, theres a better match thats a little creepy. In ancient Greece, Mint was combined with Rosemary and Myrtle to mask the smell of death. sooooo.....yeah.

836213
it is in there, see if you can guess it. here's a hint, i probably won't be adding races anymore.

836226 Hmm... I see. Well, time for more wild speculation. Obviously, Fluttershy is Cthulhu in disguise.

836230

ooh, something is right in there.

836230

read my comment, it totally does

Fluttershy's cutie mark is painted on using paint derived from mint leaves.... or she is undead cause the fall killed her, but her will to live was far too strong and now she uses mint to mask the smell of her slowly decomposing body... cause that makes total sense.
836102
If Fluttershy was a werepony, that would leave AJ and Rainbow as the only purebred ponies in the group.

Also, I like the feeling I am getting from Twilight withholding the "I'm a vampony" from Celestia, I am hoping it leads to a FUBAR situation with Celestia thinking "Vamponies in Ponyville, Sunbless Twilight" and then lil' old Twilight is like "Wut...?" and boom shit happens. Though this is my own little fantasy.

836107 I know EXACTLY what Fluttershy's secret is!
It's something that nopony knows except for her!
Hahahahaha.
Counter Troll!

836225

Minthe was also connected with death, it was used in funeral rights. More directly, Minthe was nearly seduced by Hades. Death and various states of undeath seem to be a bit of running thing here, so I'ma go for Nymph as well.

836269

so shes either a nymph or undead. well, guess everyone in ponyvilles hiding something.

Either Fluttershy is a werepony or just a vampony killed or something like that or in the random case, something complete third I would never have seen coming... I can't wait to find out!

836242
OH my cupcakes, you're on to something mister.
836257
You trying to drive me crazy with speculation?

836283

im also ON something, but hey

Not enough words!

when i came home from camp i had virtually no updates for anything...then today I find this...this is most certainly relevant to my interests and i thank you good sir!

836294
But those "on somethings" can bring great insights.

836102 dammit. and I thought i was going to be the first one to figure that out.

Its pretty obvious if you look on all the other stories that include that.

funny how in first 5 mins after i finish chapter i imediatiely think of several things for shy's secret.....given her very nature as a whole narrows it down......hehheh ......

836381

Im actually on some perscription meds for acid reflux.

836283 I also know what happens next chapter!
Things with ponies!
I'm like a freaking pyschic, no?

836448
Close enough, drugs are drugs. Who really knows what sodium bicarbonate really does.
836494
My goddess, you are truly a sage. Your foresight and vision is unbound.

836540 Fluttershy dies............ in alot of stories, but most likely not in this one.
And Dash is a lesbian sometimes..............but we ALL KNOW she is will be when Rare's is finished

I"m an ass and I already know I'm going to hell lol

836206 I love doing that to my readers. Cliffhangers ftw!

836249

When does Twilight get her batwings like in the cover art?

You are not the only one doing vamponies. Please know that I did not steal your idea, I just randomly thought of Luna drinking someones blood and then my shitty fic spawned the idea.

836576
Poor Fluttershy, always at Death's door. Well, we know AJ and Rainbow are probably lesbians now (or bi), but I get the feeling vamponies basically will screw anything they bite, they are total sluts.

836593
Writing cliffhangers is evil, it makes every reader just want to scream at their computer screen (or Kindle, or iPad, or book).

I did as the the parasprites and devoured this chapter right of the bat. Also Twilight's explanation gets more deadpanned each time, I love it!

PS: A cliffhanger? Nuuuuuuu!

836448
Those don't get you high, or I would have tried them at an earlier stage in life...(Yes, I used to have a problem with pills, but I've been totally clean for about a year-and-a-half, and did it all by myself!)

836628 I disagree. It builds up an element of suspense that cannot be achieved otherwise.

836241
Wait, what does before a whoosh, as if a fire had suddenly caught. have to do with anything, it's like you are implying she is a Changling. And also, you stated earlier "here's a hint, i probably won't be adding races anymore." Yet that seems to imply only you adding races, not races that are already in canon. Hmmmmmm
