My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. It was a show that so many loved, so many hated, so many were indifferent about, and so many knew nothing of. But now, it's over. The show has run its course.
Twilight apparently didn't get the memo.
Where there is perfection, there is nowhere to go but down. So aim not for the mountain's pinnacle, but simply for its next handhold.

I can't help but imagine the narrator as the guy from the Stanley Parable.
Again, we've come across a Stanley Parable situation.
What shall we create?

I suppose the two are very similar, aren't they? Maybe the thought subconsciously entered my mind as I was writing? Sounds like something the Narrator would do!
4753339
Wonderous things! Majestic things! Scenes of beauty so intense and magical that nothing with eyes can stand to behold its glory!
Also, explosions!
4753351
Pizza?
4753355
I'll see if I can slip it in there somewhere...
4753351 but what if it just has really bad eyesight?
Like an okapi.
Or a sea bear.
But no seriously, this got me thinking:
When MLP truly does end for real--for all things, especially good things, must come to an end-- what will we do? Even now, with the friends I've met and decisions I've made because of the show, I think I'd just cry for a while.
Not tears of sadness though. Tears of happiness for all the memories-- both good and bad-- that came about from my experience as a Brony. To quote the Doctor,
"I will not forget one line of this, not ONE day. I SWEAR... I will always remember... when the Brony was me."
Heh... I'm already starting to choke up...
AAND it turned out to be a comedy.
COMPLETELY pegged that one wrong.
4753493
Comedy or not, it will be sad to see the show go. They will be missed, but their legacy will be continued through fan work like this website and EQD.

We have glasses on hand to help them not be able to see its majestic glory.
Predicting feature in the future, due to faggotry.
4753530 like, tiny glasses? What kind of glasses, David Tenant glasses? Hipster glasses? Or...
*le gasp
Google glasses?
4753564
All glasses, any glasses, even plastic glasses and half-pint glasses!
All glasses, that is, save one... DEATH TO THE POSERS! NO MORE 'GOOGLE GLASS'!
4753550
I'm flattered you would predict such a feat, but I have one question. What would you be referring to, good sir/madam?
4753595
The feature system is a piece of crap, and nobody but knighty knows how it works. Personally, I'm convinced that gay Jewish elves live in the Fimfiction server farms, and in the course of their buggery a wire gets crossed, randomly leading to a featured story.
Or just call it a hunch.
4753620
Hmm... how does one bribe a gay Jewish elf farmer?
...Maybe you bribe them with hunches?
4753664
Hell if I know. I just work here.
Funny story, though.
Mlp abridged would be funny
4753530 Mm-hm.
4753825 There are some decent abridged series, such as 'Friendship is Witchcraft' and 'The Mentally Advanced Series'.
I prefer the latter.
4753471 There will always be fans, and there will always be the community, art, fanfiction, product and all that around it.
Remember Firefly, Startrek, Original Battlestar Galactica, ... Heck, I'm sure there are some Moonbase Alpha fans out there still going strong.
4753901 And that's what I'm counting on!
4753898 I know, I meant when experimenting with life she makes a mistake and creates FiW
I'm so getting flashbacks to Never Ending Story.
--Spade
4753954 Ah. Gotcha.
4754686
Ah, The Neverending Story! That's one of my favorites. This is going to be a little bit sillier than that, though.
Well, this is an interesting thing.
You've certainly got the fourth-wall breaking going on. The cover art reminds me vaguely of The Truman Show.
It feels like a National Geographic documentary where the documentee is talking back.
Keep going.

It's actually a Yamaha advertisement.
As a side note, I like that people are noticing themes, but a part of me keeps getting bashed over the head with a frying pan every time someone points out that an element in my story has been done before.
I'm doing that right now!
4757527
Everything has already been done before. If you want to be original, invent a time machine, and go back a few tens of thousands of years, and start painting on cave walls in France.
I was promised a pizza party
4759920
And you shall have it. Patience, my friend; not all good things need come immediately.
4760085
The ad said 30 minutes or less.
Unusual as usual.
4753351 But mostly explosions.
I really liked this. Very sweet, very sincere. Hope you get the chance to continue it sometime.
I have to say, I'm greatly enjoying this adventure in metafiction. I look forward to any more you might add.

Your wish has been granted! Although you may need to re-read a bit...
Fascinating. Some of the best simulated existential damage I've ever read. Not exactly a long list there, but still well done. The philosophical ramifications of traveling with an omniscient narrator are also very cool. Definitely looking forward to more.
“Yes, and it’s a particularly bad case too. It’s known as ‘Writer's Block’
