Twilight has a terrible case of writer’s block, and her creative efforts have been nullified for over a month now. She seeks help and gets an ingenious idea.

Maybe too ingenious.


An attempt to break out of my own damned writer’s block. Let’s hope it worked.

Thanks to:
Aragon for the idea as well as proof-reading.
Abcron for editing.
The Abyss for additional tips on how to deal with this block.

Boy, that was a trip.

Not bad at all.

Who knew writing about someone's writer's block would break you out of your own?

Definitely helped with Spike's Writer's Block. Fun story to write as well.

And that's why they're called inferno gems.

Those last few hundred words were hysterical.

Why do we hate pinkies 4th wall awareness?

WE NEED TO GO DEEPER!

Well, this was a fun jaunt through true randomness. Twilight must really like writing if she never noticed Spike's screaming of impending doom and death.

“TWILIGHT YOUR BED JUST EXPLODED!”

Is that a reference from Minecraft?

Anyway, writing about writer's block? Strange, I never though of that...
And first of all, how did the bed explode?!

No, it was an idea by Aragon, the guy who made me write this. Was too good not to include it. :V

It's pretty clear Twilight WANTED to ship A.K. Yearling and RD.

:rainbowdetermined2: I wouldn't mind!

:twilightsheepish: I bet you wouldn't...

I suspect the gems went critical because of the dangerous amount of recursion at work.

Also, I do love a good meta-aware Pinkie Pie.

In any case, thanks for this. In addition to breaking your writer's block (hopefully,) it was also a most enjoyable read on its own!

I sure hope so too. Thanks, bro! :pinkiesmile:

I really need to get down to work on Gödel, Escher, Dash some day.

This was so illogical and random that I couldn't help but show how much I enjoyed this story about Twilight having writers block and then writing about A.K having RD help her with her writers block by writing about having writers block........... I confused myself.... where was I? Oh yea, LOVE IT XD :pinkiehappy:

3945374 Well maybe Aragon made a reference to Minecraft?

Writer's Blockception! Also I'm glad I'm not the only pony who's though of shipping Do and Dash. :twilightsheepish:

It was the stash of Inferno Gems Spike kept under it going off all at once.

Twilight beamed at her friend. “Since when do you know how to properly break meta layers, Pinkie?”

Pinkie returned the gleeful smile. “I literally have no way to answer that question without lampshading a thing that nopony wants me to lampshade, so let’s keep ourselves in character and ignore that last thing you said, okay?”

Twilight blinked again. “… What?”

The best part of the fic (besides the bed exploding).

Also, GLORIOUS!!!

~Crystalline Electrostatic~

*ponders hmmm*


Big Sis was all like "Apple Bloom, yer super cool!"
The super smart filly with perfect locks fallin' off her mane smiled.

"AH'M BALD!" said the evil apple pie.

....
*stops ponderin'*
Ah dunno Author-person-thingy. Free writin' can get all messy like. :rainbowderp:

“You bet your hot butt round flank beautiful eyes wonderful mane heart-breaking voice awesome hat nice-I-guess jacket (Note to self: Learn good You-bet-your descriptions that don’t imply hitting on someone. Ugh.)

I laughed way too hard at this. Really well written, fantastic story. Favorited!

So . . . . Did this story succeed in helping you with writer's block?

Spike turned the library in to the nether. That's why the bed exploded.

Twilight looked completely dumbfounded at the the spot just a moment ago she was going to fill with a fancy fan fiction of A.K. Yearling overcoming a writer’s block with the help of Rainbow Dash by writing about Daring Do overcoming a writer’s block by writing about Ahuizotl overcoming a writer’s block.

Pinkie returned the gleeful smile. “I literally have no way to answer that question without lampshading a thing that nopony wants me to lampshade, so let’s keep ourselves in character and ignore that last thing you said, okay?”

okay that made me laugh. I thought I'd run out of ways to find untapped humor in fourth wall breaking, but a refusal to break the wall (and merely crack it by providing context to the refusal) is a new one for me.


I take it both those times that twilight started to speculate about things (racism and homework vs. voluntary work) was actually you trying not to dismiss the thought as silly so as to not block yourself? Because I'm very glad you didn't block yourself if so, those were some of the best parts :-)
