My sides hurt. I feel a bit hurt that this wasn't added to our little group. I'd love this to be a mini-sode in the show. Great job in making me smile. Had a good laugh too. Now THIS is what a CMC story needs more of, CMC being their adorable mischievous selves. xD

Story too short to mention any real scenes without ruining the moments, so I'll just say the only thing missing was the mustaches.

I could imagine, after a mission failed: The CMC go back to the clubhouse and go through a long list of Minuteman-III launch procedures. Then, nukes fly.

This is that special flavor of story that would be in bad taste to judge from a highly critical standpoint, much like it would be in bad taste to judge a lollipop as one would the meal of a world-renowned chef. Its prevalent use of bold text and the one direct quote to the audience from the unseen narrator fly a broad, opulent banner over the story as a warning to not take it too seriously. Yet, despite its lack of depth, it does manage to maintain the structure of a story as opposed to an encounter session.

The CMC try to capture Diamond, it doesn't go as planned, and they end up only partly completing their mission. While I can't say it's made entirely clear why they wanted to capture just Diamond and not Silver Spoon, how they managed to get tons of equipment and "gadgety stuff" in a world that seems to be lacking in it, what they were planning to do with Diamond after capturing her, why they thought stealing Diamond's tiara accomplished anything if all it did was make her mad, or why they had an obsession with using masculine words to refer to each other, I can say that the role of Pinkie Pie hit all the right notes, both in efficiently breaking apart their plan and providing her a meaningful purpose in-line with her character. In fact, I believe I can say that characterization was this story's strongest factor.

The story mostly revolves around the one joke of the CMC pretending to be bounty hunters, but considering its length, there's nothing really wrong with that. Considering it's the topic of the story, I'd say it's pretty justified. The spelling and grammar seem fine, though there are some formatting issues. Personally, I'd say the key one is an overreliance on SHOUTING YOUR WORDS!!! Much like an excellent song on the radio, if you play it too much, it starts to lose its value.

I'd call this story a gumdrop. It's that one kind of lesser known candy that I enjoy in small doses, though I do find it hard to imagine its name being said in a professional setting.

Make the most!
