Lulwat?
Senseless at some points, lacks the logic of MLP world, isn't too well written and the characterization of Rainbow Dash is pretty bad. Not to mention there is nopony and nothing Rainbow Dash can't catch in the midair if she really wants to.

The heck is this? Pinkie Pie suicidal? Out of character! RD being too slow? Possible--but simply giving up and saying "Oh well! Pinkie die! I go way-way now!" and zipping off ain't her style.
There's no real flourish to the writing, the pacing is too rushed, the characters are OOC except for Rarity, there's barely any description to damn-anything...
Dude. Fail. Try again.
I agree with Klabautermann, but it was okay. Sad though.
needs to be better.

With your profile picture being Discord I find it hard to be affected by you comment...

If that's your attitude then you'll never improve.
The premise was overdone like hell, yet such things can still be saved.
I find myself lacking empathy towards the characters, and that's not even because of their OoC-ness. The scenes lack emotion and a gripping writing. They are merely descriptive. Minimalist if you may.
There is absolutely no explanation as to what happened. It wouldn't even need one if the fic could've been developed in a proper way.
This is pretty much like Cupcakes. Except that, instead of KIll RD -> Profit, it is Kill PP -> Profit.
And there are pretty awkward scenes, like this one, for instance:
I can accept the fact that Pinks couldn't be saved, for one. But get this: Dash is speeding after Pinkie. They are one hoof away from the other.
Pinkie is in free-fall.
Dash is accelerating after her (ergo, in a speed greater than Pinkie's own).
Pinkie hits the ground and dies.
Dash crashes on the ground and lives.
Unintentional Deus Ex Machina?
Actually no, because it doesn't push the story forward, because there isn't any...

That's not what I meant.

What did you mean?
I have to agree with the other posters. Pinkie Pie would surely have (and did) get upset about her friends not coming. However, she would never have jumped to the conclusion that suicide was a must. And IF she had saw Dashie coming to help her, you'd think common sense would dictate that her friends DID care, and that the thought that suicide would only cause them horrible pain would come to her mind. Being the holder of the Element of Laughter, that is so OOC it's completely preposterous. And what DID she spent her life doing? She spent her life making others smile and laugh. She helped save Equestria at least a few times! That's what I know. Now if you want to come out and say there was something underneath her smile, something that always haunted her, then MAYBE you should of said something and elaborated on that. This story could of had potential, but by rushing through it and straying completely out of the ponyverse, you totally blew it.
Nor would Rainbow Dash not be fast enough to catch her.

Well for one just let me get this out of the way: I know that this is bad. It wasn't meant to be good at all. My gift/curse is that I get a lot of ideas, probably too many. Once I had a new idea but rushed to finish a fic I was working on and it basically crashed into the ground and turned into an incredibly rushed waste of time. This was one of my new ideas and I had to stop what I was working on because I did not want what could be good to be absolutely awful.
And personally I just can't take Discord seriously for some reason.
Umm... suicides warrant a teen rating btw

So let's see if I got this straight.
It's an intentional piece of trash, that you happen to be defensive about. If it's intentionally bad, then it's a trollfic meant to get a reaction out of its readers, good or bad. But I don't get that vibe, mostly because it's not bad enough to be considered over-the-top or way too mean-spirited, like "Derpy's Finest Hour".
The fact that you are trying to excuse your failure here, instead of just shrugging and saying, "Oh, it's just a trollfic, it ain't nuthin special" tells me that you intended for at least someone to enjoy this fic, but don't know how to handle criticism. I got that idea from dismissing my critique simply for the character in my avatar. If my avatar was Jesus would you have listened? Doubtful, as Klabautermann also has a Discord avatar, and had many of the same gripes as I did, yet you said nothing, dismissing her critique silently.
So here's what you did wrong.
>You wrote a fic that has... no... point. If you actually had all these ideas in your head, you would have written them down into a "bible" you would use for possible plots for future stories. You wouldn't just rush in, write down the bare-bones of the story's structure, not edit it, and not get a friend to "test read" it. In this sense, it's a drive-by badfic.
>You did absolutely nothing to make sure your fic could be good. I understand not every idea is a good one. And even some of the best artists in the world, whether it's Stephen King or Chuck Jones, get a real stinker occasionally. BUT! If you knew it was gonna be bad, why didn't you try to improve its mechanics? The writing style, the descriptions of the situation and the environments, the overall plot of the fic, all of it was in dire need of improvement before being submitted for the Internet denizens to read. If you HONESTLY thought it was going to be bad, then why submit it in the first place as it is?
>You are becoming defensive regarding criticism. You did not claim it was a trollfic before, but only NOW are you stating it's meant to be bad. Somehow, I don't believe that's the case. You're not fooling anyone here. You are making up excuses, instead of tackling the problem like you should be doing.
>In conclusion, this story stinks, it needs a rewrite since it could have been a good, dramatic story if its author could have just put forth any effort, and you seriously need to improve your attitude in order to become a better writer.
well, i suppose it's a halfway decent story idea, i mean i've seen suicidal fanfics before. but this one is just totally out of place and out of character. granted pinkie pie did jump to the conclusion that her friends didn't like her parties anymore, but i don't think she would've tried to kill herself. (then again i can't really say much in that respect, i tried a similar matter when i thought i had no friends) anywho, it's not the worst story i've ever read, but i can't honestly say it's going in my favorites.
385722
I guess I chose my words poorly.
Edit: Oh and thanks for explaining what a trollfic was. I honestly had no idea what one was.

Before replying to a critical comment, read it over, beginning to end, at least twice. Take in everything they say. Consider it, mull it over. Don't rush. If they give you good advice, advice you know you can use, then thank them for their critique and try harder the next time.
I read your bio on this site, and I should probably tell you, your Asperger Syndrome will not excuse your behavior to most people. They might consider you quirky (which is good), but they're not going to stand for any rudeness, and they're not going to care for excuses--people just don't have the patience for that. So be patient with others, and they'll be patient with you. Everything'll turn out peachy-keen in the end.
385788
I know that nobody will excuse rudeness for that reason. And they shouldn't. It just isn't a good reason.
I need to practice patience though. I am rather impatient and most of the time that's just terrible.
385085
Thank you, I would have wasted my time reading this crap if not for you.
385602
Perhaps in future you can learn to distinguish between terrible idea's and decent ones, hm?
Am I a bad person? I laughed when she died.
Since you ignore constructive crit, I'm not gunna spend a lot of time.
Characters that are OOC, especially here, are not good. You might as well have created new characters. However, I have read worse stories than this one. This story isn't as bad as everypony says in the comments. It actually has potential. It just needs more detail is all. I hope you add more detail to your stories in the future! It'll make them super awesome. Especially because you get a lot of ideas.
I don't...
what..
I don't get it. You claim it's bad, and on purpose, yet after that you state you had no idea what a trollfic was.
1. I'm pretty sure that Pinkie would get upset, but just jumping to 'I HAVE NO FRIENDS I MUST DIE' just doesn't make it seem right.
2. Pinkie literally saw Dash speeding to her. Why would she want to die if she would probably know that her friends care about her since Dash was speeding to her?
3. I don't get how one of them dies falling to the ground, and the other is just...alive.
4. Rainbow Dash can catch anything. Hell, she's catched a baby falling in a well, what would stop her from saving her best friend?
5. I especially don't get why Pinkie dies and Rainbow Dash is just like 'oh well, best friend is dead, so what.' and flies off.
This could've been a good fic, but because of several reasons (those are just the start) it fails.
Everyone struggles with show vs. tell. But this one shows the reader nothing at all, to the point, were one to desire it, could be revisited and easily changed into a wikipedia article on the event.

Thanks, haha.
As for your question, um, I suppose not - I dont entirely understand your question either though, so I'm not sure if my answer here is right, hahahah
If it is about you considering me harsh, I don't think I was harsh at all. 
Pinkie Pie sat in her room. She sat there, her eyes welling with tears. She sat there, her straight mane flowing down the left side of her face. She sat there, her mind filling with sadness and cold fury. Her friends didn’t like her anymore. They hated her. Her real friends had told her: deep-voiced Mister Turnip, the gruff but charming Rocky, courteous Sir Lint-a-lot and the ever-so-classy Madame LeFlour.
They told her her friends weren’t her friends. Not really. Not ever.
After a few minutes, she began to believe them.
Her ‘friends’ were avoiding her. Why else would they lie to her when she tried to invite them to Gummy's after-birthday party? They avoided her and they hated her, so she had her real friends join her party instead. They’d never leave her. They could be trusted.
Still, even given the cake and streamers and silly party hats, Pinkie was sad. Sure, the four were nice friends, but even though they were top-notch party guests, she was aware that they weren’t real. If a bucket of turnips, a pile of rocks a dust-bunny and a sack of flour were the best she could do for friends, then maybe she’d be better off dead.
Pinkie’s eyes widened. Perhaps that wasn’t such a bad idea...
sequel? i wanna see everypony's reactions
EPILOGUE!!
386047 ??? That's all I've got to say. I'm pretty much neutral to this story until my mind processes what just happened.
This was a good sad ending for Party of One. Although I would like a continuation.
387640 .....yours was better.
