Arreis Of Avalon


Sequels1

Comments ( 105 )

I've never really read Rainbow Factory, but I've got a pretty good idea what it's about from what I've read in different places. So I'm going to go ahead and read this one, as it seems like it's going to be pretty good.

I just hope that Rainbow (who's actually my second-favorite pony (the No. 1 spot on that goes to Applejack)) gets her just comeuppance at the end of this.

People who keep making 'sequels' to Rainbow Factory are killing the main story, in my opinion at least. Too many sequels and own takes spoiling the original.

Oooooooo! Good!good!good! Keep going! keep going!! Cause other then rainbow factory and Pegasus device there's nothing good to read about rainbow factory.:pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiecrazy::scootangel::twilightsmile::raritywink::heart::heart:

5274433 I have no idea who you are.

5274319 I personally dislike RD the most, yet I know how to write characters. If RD is your fav, then you would probably hate Rainbow Factory. In my eyes, it didn't twist the character at all - It totally rewrote her character. It portrayed her worse than the show does in my opinion. I hope I write this to you liking ^^

5274330 If you think I'm killing the main story, then I feel FANTASTIC. I hated than fan fiction. The plot was amazing, but they pulled it off HORRIBLY! The cussing was horrible, RD treated Scootaloo like just another member of the flock - I get what the author was trying to do, but they didn't capture the sisterly relationship of those two at all. Loyalty was non-existent. I plan to portray them better. If you love the story, congrats - But I cannot agree with you. I love the fan spin offs because I feel they do it better. As such, I decided to join the ranks. I do hope you will give this fan fiction a chance.

5274368 THANK you! Thank you very much! I love the idea of the story, but I really don't like how they portrayed it. I really hope you enjoy!

5275141 Oh, really? Well, a lot of fans don't like RD, so don't feel bad about that.

And you certainly do! I'm loving Absentia so far because if that!

As for hating Rainbow Factory, like I said, I've never really read it, but I know enough of what it's about (thanks to a comic someone did of it over at DA and the thing from creepywiki(?)) to know that I don't want to read it. Like at all!

And the same goes for Sergeant Sprinkles' fic, Cupcakes. I've read just enough about it to know that I will never read it, either!

(Pinks torturing and murdering one of her best friends so she can turn her into cupcakes. Uh...no.)

I have enjoyed several of the spin-offs/"sequels", though. I especially like The Cupcake Chronicles by MilesPrower06. It's quite good!

Well, you're right there, on both those counts. I mean, I know that Dash can be kinda hard-nosed and harsh sometimes on the show (the Season 1 episode Dragonshy, where she kept harping on the notion that they should've left Fluttershy behind in Ponyville...and we all know how that one turned out!), but, from what I know, she's nowhere near as dark and twisted as she is in the original Rainbow Factory.

And I'm sure that you will. I'm really looking forward to the next chapter!

5277282 Wow, a giant paragraph~ Sweet~
Thanks for the vote of confidence! I'm glad you like that first chapter. RD will be getting a bit of a short end of a stick in this one, but she'll also redeem herself greatly. I hope you enjoy where I go with this, and we'll see where this all ends up~
(PS, Aj is an awesome character and is massively underappreciated. Fav is Pinkie :P)

5277505 Thanks. I...tend to do those a lot. Just ask anyone around here.

And you're quite welcome!

And I really did. I'm anxious to see where this story goes.

And that's good to know. I hope that she makes peace with Scoots' spirit, and that she (they?) do something to close down the Rainbow Factory as it is now, and reorganize it so that they don't depend on foals for the Spectra that they need to make the rainbows.

Yes, she is, and that's sadly very true. It irritates the heck outta me when I see her called a "background pony" by some folks.

Really? Cool. While I actually like all of the Mane 6, Pinkie is actually my least favorite, with AJ being No. 1, and Dash No. 2.

5275166 You're quite welcome, and yes I did injoy it. But to be frank,the part with Scootaloo was confusing but understanding at the same time (does that even make sence?" I do hope you continue with this story, because rainbow factory just has to be one of my most favourite series and all I want to do is eat more!
But if ideas don't come to mind I'm still perfectly happy with how it is already ^_^

5279295 The part with Scoots was supposed to be confusing as she, herself, was confused~ Glad you're enjoying ^^

I don't think you did a very good job of incorporating the Pegasus Device lyrics into this fic, it would have been very good if done well, but it just seems shoehorned in here rather than given the right context.

I'm also not really sure what to think about how you've broken away from and contradicted the storyline of the original fics.

I think you've tried to be too ambitious with the references and symbolism, but aside from that this isn't bad.

5286755 ... Eeerm... *points at Incomplete*
I'm sure it wasn't the best 'insert lyrics here', but it's still just the prologue. It's just silly stuff. It's the fluff before the story. I'm sorry, but it's just the start of it all. ^^;;

5625782 I know!! That was one of my biggest hates of that other fic. It just... Ugh. SO much cussing - it tore me out of the experience. It's not at all canonal!
... Also, I tend not to cuss in my fics. ^^;

5628990 THANK YOOU. Even when I do swear, I usually censor it, either with narration or with a 'spoiler' box. It's so immersion breaking when a fandom that doesn't normally swear has something with SO MUCH SWEARING! It's one of the reasons I disliked Rainbow Factory so much.

WOW! This story is so awesome! I hope you update it soon.:pinkiesmile:

5740868 Really? All I have so far is one chapter. ^w^ Thanks for the comment!!

5741347
Yup. I've always liked Rainbow Factory so why not? Plus, it's well writen!

5741430 Eh, I've always loved the PREMISE of Rainbow Factory, but thought they pulled it off rather poorly.

5806302 Thanks! This took a turn that I wasn't expecting, and I like it! :twilightsmile: Thanks for the comment~

Nice. I liked how you linked souls and spectra there. Very creative of you.

Nice.... I like this fic, in fact despite how short it is, this rivals "Fallout: Equestria" for my determination to keep reading untill I have to go back to the beginning.

5806610 Thank you! My only guess is that the line came from the combo of my intro and the full end lyrics to 'Pegasus Device': In the Rainbow Factory, where not a single soul gets through... Where failures meet the toll... Now I've awoken, and I'm taking back control. The words just spoke to me, in combo with rosy blood and all.

5806745 Wow! Thanks much, that's an awesome compliment!

5807893 your welcome, and I will say it again, THIS STORY IS AMAZING!!!!!

5806444 interesting~

I like where this is going!

Im going to have to reread RF now!

I was also listening to RF and Awoken. seemed fitting. Also saw that hint of lyrics in there!

6573786 I've actually been working on this one lately! Also, you can always see the lyrics in mine. :) I love using song lyrics!

It's been quite a while!

6806076 That it has. I think spending time with my sister and her roommate is helping me - I've started to write again! It's mostly been awhile because I struggle with having too many ideas and not enough writing time. I accidentally started another Undertale fanfiction yesterday (woops). Still, I'm itching to write today, so maybe a few more of my fictions will update now!

6813943 Why, thank you!! ^^ I've been waiting to redeem Rainbow after the original fiction. They made her out to be so needlessly cruel - I wanted to actually give the character a reason for that cruelty.

7043107 Oh, thank you! :) I assure you, I'm working on all of my fanfictions - it's just hard because, 1, college, and 2, I've started writing a lot of Undertale fanfiction... But I'll try and get on this one quickly! Thank you for the lovely comment!

I imagine a few of the dislikes might have come from people whom instantly downvoted it. Namely because it's an unofficial sequel to the Rainbow Factory, so it's likely to receive some negativity from those who don't wish to read it but are going to downvote anyways.

Color me impressed. Have a fav and follow on me!

7285929 I imagine that's the case as well. It's unfortunately common in fics like these. I like to focus more on comments and upvotes.

7286319
You're welcome! I also have a couple of song ideas for when Absentia/Scootaloo and Rainbow Dash and/or the Rainbow Factory staff square off.

What do you think?

7287520 Both are quite good. I actually listened to Gaster's theme on repeat for quite awhile this chapter! :)

Need moreeeee

Looking forward to it!

Despite the combination of "Sad" and "Tragedy" tags, I'm hoping that the ending to this whole thing will at least be a little happy...
The question, of course being, happy for whom...

7295525 There's always a twinge of happiness in every tragedy.

Scootaloo gon' rek some spines.
