Hole
"What was that?!" Shining yelled out as he watched the leader leap out the window, the singing continuing to fade as the army of Dwarves traveled deeper into Canterlot city. As Shining Armor looked over to his soldiers there was an air of silence that hung over them. A strange look on all of their faces. A look of respect, as their heads hung low, pointed towards the floor. Them, the elite of the crystal guard had failed to stop an army of mini Minotaur 's. And now they were marching through Canterlot probably destroying the rest of the city.
"Princess Celestia! We made contact!" Twilight shouted as she busted through the library doors.
Celestia bolted upward at the sudden noise.
"Twilight, what was it? What was in the tunnel?" Celestia asked grabbing Twilight with her magic and pulling closer.
"They looked like an army of miniature Minotaurs, my brother and his soldiers decided to try and hold them off, but I don't think even they could do something like that."
"Sister! We have found out what was causing the Earth shaking!" Luna shouted as she burst through the door also. She was holding a book in her magic.
"Small Minotaurs? Where have I heard of that before?" Celestia asked herself as she put Twilight down.
"Sister, because we have! Do you not remember the happenings after Discord was sealed away?"
"Not really, what are you talking about Luna?"
"Sister look here, there is a section in which it depicts a species just like the ones we have found and the ones we saw!" Luna said as she shoved the book into Celestia's face as she began reciting what it had said in the article.
Humans, a guide to the species.
Humans or Homo-Sapien, is a tall bipedal being with claws like a Griffon and the physicality's of a Minotaur, except the upper body and the legs are not are not defined with the same amount of muscle, they also seem to lack any horns or snout, instead they have a mostly flat face with a nose and two forward facing eyes with a mouth below those. Their ears are also on both sides of their heads. Created by Discord these creatures are extremely chaotic, with only a few cases of very well behaved. Ultimately, for being so different and hated they were pushed into the mountain caves near the new city called Ponyville, they have not been seen since.
"The only part that doesn't sound like what I saw was the height part, they aren't tall at all, well, they were taller but not that tall." Twilight said as she look at Luna and Celestia.
Knock Knock Knock
"Come in" Celestia said towards the door. And Shining Armor poked his head into the room.
"Celestia, the creatures got into the city, they made there way out from the throne room." Shining said as he walked into the room.
"Are your guards okay? Was anypony hurt?" Celestia asked.
"No Princess Celestia, but the Dwarves are in the city now."
"WHAT?!" Celestia shouted as she shot upwards and ran towards the window. Indeed, there were thousands of them and they appeared to be building something in the town square.
"We need to get down there and see what they are doing!" Celestia said as she opened the window and dove out.
"Halt! What are you doing to my city!?" Celestia said as she floated feet above the army of Dwarves.
They all looked at her has they continued to build what ever they were constructing, it looked like a shrine, but there was nothing on it. The leader jumped onto the shrine with something in his hands. He stared at Celestia with a smile on his face. Hep ut down what appeared to be an onyx block with white swirls on each side of it and he quickly jumped back down.
Rumble Rumble Rumble
A portal opened up on each side of the shrine and the leader began to chant again.
Brothers of the mine rejoice!
Swing, swing, swing with me
Raise your pick and raise your voice!
Sing, sing, sing with me
Down and down into the deep
Who knows what we'll find beneath?
Diamonds, rubies, gold and more
Hidden in the mountain store
Dwarves began to march out from the portals, they began chanting with the others.
Born underground, suckled from a teat of stone
Raised in the dark, the safety of our mountain home
Skin made of iron, steel in our bones
To dig and dig makes us free
Come on brothers sing with me!
I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole
Diggy diggy hole, diggy diggy hole
I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole
Diggy diggy hole, digging a hole
More and more flowed from the portals, hundreds becoming thousands
The sunlight will not reach this low
Deep, deep in the mine
Never seen the blue moon glow
Dwarves won't fly so high
Fill a glass and down some mead!
Stuff your bellies at the feast!
Stumble home and fall asleep
Dreaming in our mountain keep
Born underground, grown inside a rocky womb
The earth is our cradle; the mountain shall become our tomb
Face us on the battlefield; you will meet your doom
We do not fear what lies beneath
We can never dig too deep
I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole
Diggy diggy hole, diggy diggy hole
I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole
Diggy diggy hole, digging a hole
I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole
Diggy diggy hole, diggy diggy hole
I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole
Diggy diggy hole, digging a hole
The army of Dwarves were still flowing out from the portal, but the others were marching away from Celestia.
Born underground, suckled from a teat of stone
Raised in the dark, the safety of our mountain home
Skin made of iron, steel in our bones
To dig and dig makes us free
Come on brothers sing with me!
All of Dwarves that had come out of the portal were all holding devices that seemed buzz and whir with energy
I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole
Diggy diggy hole, diggy diggy hole
I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole
Diggy diggy hole, digging a hole
I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole
Diggy diggy hole, diggy diggy hole
I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole
Diggy diggy hole, digging a hole
With the chanting still continuing, the others that had marched away from Celestia began to fire their devices at the cities buildings, to her surprise the buildings began to rebuild themselves, the Dwarves continued to march to the exit of the city firing their weapons at any building that was in ruins.
Celestia watched as the Dwarves were exiting her city, while a whole group of others began to wander the city still chanting.
The orange haired one still leading them in the song, all from behind the massive army. The city shook from the vibrations of the chanting along with the pounding of their feet.
Brothers of the mine rejoice!
Swing, swing, swing with me
Raise your pick and raise your voice!
Sing, sing, sing with me
Down and down into the deep
Who knows what we'll find beneath?
Diamonds, rubies, gold and more
Hidden in the mountain store
All the Dwarves that were left began to march towards the exit of the city, still chanting away.
Born underground, suckled from a teat of stone
Raised in the dark, the safety of our mountain home
Skin made of iron, steel in our bones
To dig and dig makes us free
Come on brothers sing with me!
I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole
Diggy diggy hole, diggy diggy hole
I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole
Diggy diggy hole, digging a hole
The only one left was their leader as he sat at the exit of the city, looking at Celestia with a smirk on his face. He turned and began to march with his fellow Dwarves.
The sunlight will not reach this low
Deep, deep in the mine
Never seen the blue moon glow
Dwarves won't fly so high
Fill a glass and down some mead!
Stuff your bellies at the feast!
Stumble home and fall asleep
Dreaming in our mountain keep
Born underground, grown inside a rocky womb
The earth is our cradle; the mountain shall become our tomb
Face us on the battlefield; you will meet your doom
We do not fear what lies beneath
We can never dig too deep
I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole
Diggy diggy hole, diggy diggy hole
I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole
Diggy diggy hole, digging a hole
I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole
Diggy diggy hole, diggy diggy hole
I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole
Diggy diggy hole, digging a hole
The music fading as the Dwarf army began to vanish behind the city doors.
Born underground, suckled from a teat of stone
Raised in the dark, the safety of our mountain home
Skin made of iron, steel in our bones
To dig and dig makes us free
Come on brothers sing with me!
I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole
Diggy diggy hole, diggy diggy hole
I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole
Diggy diggy hole, digging a hole
I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole
Diggy diggy hole, diggy diggy hole
I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole
Diggy diggy hole, digging a hole
Celestia sat there, with her mouth gaping open. Behind her were the Elements of harmony and the guards with Shining Armor, Luna and Cadence, all of them sharing the same face as Celestia.

Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh...
4690587 Basically, that's it. I can't say other wise, but this story isn't really meant to be taken seriously, it's just something for fun. Well, my fun, maybe not yours
Well, you definitely should not have written the song lyrics in this after the first, full set. As it is, it doesn't give the story anything beyond an inaccurate word count. I really just skipped all the lyrics and read the actual lines detailing what happened.
I love this story so much
Simon, we need song when we mine
Good times
4690601 I only really did that because I honestly didn't feel comfortable with just leaving people to listen to the song whilst reading, because most of the time when someone I had read put a song to play during their story, it would end up playing longer then need be. And I really hated that. It would usually ruin the mood for me, so yeah.
you deserve my follow
Diggy Diggy Hole!!! Digging a Hole!!
If ya want heres the original
Who else is subbed to the Yogscast ( Besides the other members)
You know, this story has kind of a weird feeling to it, in that it feels like two stories sharing a space but not actually being connected at all. You have the ponies do some stuff, a few lines are said, and then over half of the chapter involves the dwarfs singing without having really any kind of interaction with the ponies. That's why it feels like two stories to me, because there's no interaction. It feels like neither the ponies nor the dwarfs actually realize the other side is there.
The story isn't necessarily bad, it's just lacking enough description and interaction to be more interesting.
Well now I know i'll be hearing that song a lot more.
We need more Yogscast stories, specifically one where Simon becomes a dwarf, grabs a pick, and then just starts hacking away at the breast rock, while the others watch.
Can you make more stories based on yogscast songs? Like making sips sing 'big girl' for Celestia!
Been listening to that song all day while writing a section for a story.
Seing this story in the feature bar made me giddy... though that could be the mead (Iced Tea) I've been drinking. 
lol And that is why nobody messes with the dwarves and their singing!
Ohh this is hilarious! Just stop with the lyrics for the chanting we already know them and I have the song playing while I read this so I don't really think they are needed apart from that great work!
Click ten hour version of Diggy Diggy Hole. Commence read.
Oh my goodness, I never even imagined this day would come! This is just pure awesomeness in written form! So much fun was had both giggling at the dwarves' antics and listening to the revised version of Diggy Diggy Hole. Ahh, Simon, what a wonderful imagination you have to make up stuff like this in a few seconds of Minecraft gameplay.
This just shows what a comment from a person made a while ago; was correct. We people at fimfiction.net have no standards what so goddamn ever.
A story this low of quality made it to the favorites.
It's as if the people did not even consider that this story may be in fact not good, and only liked it/faved it for it being a Diggy Diggy Hole crossover.
This amount of fail is detrimental to my health.
i.chzbgr.com/maxW500/5831235328/hCF60225D/
I have nothing more to say.
I...give up. There is no reasoning with regurgitated lyrics. If it was just once I might have been able to tolerate it, though just barely. Twice? Thrice? Fourth? I'm pretty sure I'm digging into my eyes with the sharp end of a spear, but I can't feel the physical pain anymore. The spirits consume me, arglefargle-frig-grak. Afjdhasuibi vafdsa.
Jokes on every one else I loved it, I like the song so it didn't bother me! but truth be told it did get repetitive...

Give this guy some slack it's his first story.
4691758 I enjoyed it so I gave it a like and favorite looks like a bunch of other people did that to and the story made it into the feature page personally I don't see a problem
4692054 Actually, it's not, hehe

Guess what I saw right next to your comment when I saw it?

Guess what he has in his bio?
"New to writing, please be harsh, I need the criticism."
It's always hard to be critical of a piece of work this bad and not come off sounding like a giant douche nozzle. Spelling issues, questionable wording, out of character dialogue, coloured text, poor formatting, copy/paste blocks of lyrics, terrible pacing, and the list goes on. That's all fine though, you can improve and learn from mistakes and experience. Gotta learn some how so why not enjoy it while you are at it, right?
The biggest issue that I have (and perhaps why a lot of the criticism for this sounds overly harsh) is its popularity. Right now this thing is in the feature box, and as big a shame as it is; that means something. This story is only a couple steps beyond being literally unreadable that it does not deserve to be there considering how many great stories go unnoticed. It is quite clear that the only reason for this stories popularity is because it is a crossover with something from Yogscast. It is sort of like one of the star wars prequels. You saw it because it was a part of Star Wars; not because it was good by itself (I am really hoping that you didn't think any of the prequels were good).
Please don't like something just because it is somewhat related to something else. It's not to dissimilar to an otherwise bad video getting a ton of attention just because it has a pair of tits in it.
Amazing! This was only a popular story just literally yesterday, and now look at it! XD
Absolutely brilliant! Triple thumbs up! Oh wait, I only have two hands...
Screw it, double thumbs up instead then!
4692175 I wouldn't have wrote that I needed the criticism, if I couldn't handle it. It's people like you who help me learn, you criticise for a poorly written story, MY poorly written story. I can't think of anyone who is willing to judge something for its wrongs (And in this case, an awful lot) to sound like a
4692175 Also the popularity thing, while I'm not complaining,
I just really wished that some of my other stories would go somewhere, but this one left them in the dust... somehow 
I just don't like it. Makes me feel kind of let down.
They dig. They dug. And they sing. GG
You know... I feel like this is a huge, missed opportunity.
I've seen a meeting and the resulting cultural clash between dwarves and ponies like, only two times. Two! And only one of them was not a deeply flawed parody from the very beginning!
As for this story; it lacked substance. Substance and direction. That made it difficult to care for what happened to the characters involved, since the things that do happen lack emotional impact.
Nevermind that everything is drowned out by the lyrics of the diggy song.
4692189
If it means anything, I reread my comment after a while and I could have been less harsh while still being critical and constructive. I should clarify that my anger is more directed at those that jump on bandwagons and not really at you or the story despite it all being closely linked together. I probably should have done a better job at clarifying it in the original comment in the first place.
4692198
I've heard many with that complaint before. It's unfortunate but there isn't much that can be done about it (perhaps a slowly updating upcoming authors box?).
I also gave the story a quick scroll through and it looks like you have already improved it a bit. You still have a ways to go but there is always room for improvement.
4692286 Hey, what you said was the truth, the truth is usually anything but lenient, but that doesn't make it any less true. You said what was needed to be said, and I thank you for that.
But think of it this way, the people who bandwagon attract people like you to stories like mine, thus, I have someone telling me what I need to hear. But hey, that's just the way I see it. 
I have to watch this when I got back home. I don't have time to now, as (believe it or not) I am working on my own Yogscast fanfic for a different sight!
And I don't have much time...
GET OUT OF MY HEAD!
*their
*to
Curse ye spacebar for acting too early!
(*He put)
There are grammatical errors aplenty, the story lacks substance, and the song utterly drowns the other characters. Given the lore you're trying to add, there is a lot of untapped potential here. But I cannot argue this: the new version of Diggy Diggy Hole is BAWSS.
4692054 I'm only so harsh because I actually read every line in the story. Individually and together.
4693107
but thats just how I see it 
Here's how I see it, you are free to state the facts and your opinions, I liked this story. I liked re-reading the lines while listening to the music. I actually enjoyed it
It may have not been story with many characters each with their own personality or with and in depth world of its own, but I liked it. Isn't that all that matters?
One could say a chef didn't do a good job of making the food look appetizing but does it make it any worse?
I've probably rambled long enough
4693312 ...Here's how I answer the one faulty line in your paragraph.
It doesn't matter if the food looks good or not if it tastes like shit to begin with. There's no substance to the story and what little is there, is subjugated to being pelleted with word-choice errors, covered gratuitously in nonsense, and smells faintly of cleaning fluid, (colored dialogue lines). It's less of an actual story and more of a way to experiment with the various on-hand editing tools.
4687428
Dwarf Hole isn't even new.
I was faintly curious about the story... until I noticed the errors in the description. Biggest way to turn readers away. I'd suggest an editor, or even a lot more practice at writing.
4693440 He meant the newly released version.
4692097
4692175
It says Stories 1 for me. Perhaps something is wrong with my internet
.
4693872 I was talking about the original video, not the actual part. I miss the Shadow of Israphel.... Do you miss that too?
4693440 Not Dwarf Hole. Diggy Diggy Hole. They made another one. Dwarf Hole is the old one.
Dang it this story plays the song so much... and the modded version I play doesn't like my computer.. given how many times I've listened to the song in this fic im going to be reseting the game a lot to mine.
A fun little jaunt, and the use of the lyrics, did help give a timing of the pace personally. There are numerous errors, which i did notice ,but have mostly been mentioned. I would have loved to see more done with this, but for what it is and was, I was entertained.
Most entertaining
I've not read but it look HILARIOUS
This is not much of a story. I understand how this is basically the result of a rush from hearing the song, but it should be completely reworked if the author cares to keep it in existence. If you knew what you were doing and fleshed it out a little, this could be a great tribute.
First off, put this wherever you want the song to start brothers of the mine rejoice , and they will instantly be at the singing.
Secondly, you need to change the text so the singing is bolded and the narration in between is normal, because you want your story to read the same all the way through.
Thirdly, you need more description. If needed I am willing to help you be more detailed and edit any mistakes for you.
And please tell me this isn't the end. There should be some reasoning for this, or at least some ending
4693644 Get out of here M'aiq! Shoo! shoo!
Yes. Yes I am.
