Well hello there, everypony! Welcome to my humble corner of fimfiction. This space is an outlet for my creativity, where I hope to further myself as a writer of decent fiction. I hope you enjoy it!

Sequels1

After one fateful day changes everything, Rainbow Dash struggles to cope with the sudden loss of her very identity. Given a second chance, she must discover hidden strengths and rely on her closest friends to get by. However, the road to recovery is perilous; a mysterious energy hangs over her which threatens to defeat her will to press on. Is this a conflict of the mind, or the work of something far more sinister?

This is good so far, but it reminds me a little heavily of The Cupcake Chronicles, that suto-sequel to Cupcakes made by the guy behind Letters from a Disgruntled Friendship Student.

Now this is an interesting turn!

And I'm now going to favorite and up vote it. But 2 things:

scootaloo

*Scootaloo.

Wow. That escalated quickly... It's about time someone ripped Diamond Tiara a new one, but still - is Rainbow Dash going to be okay?

Hell if I know, you're the writer! :rainbowlaugh:

*shakes head* Dash, getting rid of your life from before is not the way to get over this.

Great chapter! Fluttershy, you just came closer to killing Dash than Pinkie did in SCC.

*Scootaloo.

Blatant typo. There, I fixed it!

Hell if I know, you're the writer! :rainbowlaugh:

Lol, true. But you know the writer isn't always in control of their characters. Sometimes it feels like I'm discovering the words for the first time rather than creating them. That's why I love writing so much!

And Fluttershy almost killed Rainbow. Lovely experience after having your body parts sliced off, topped by being gutted minutes later.

Yes! More please!

Working on Chapter 5. Not sure when it'll be up, but it's coming!

5097043 Pseudo.
And yeah, it smacks of Cupcakes Chronicles.

5121807 Oddly enough, I've neither heard of nor read Cupcake Chronicles, but I will assume it's good and take this as a compliment! :rainbowlaugh:

5121834 Oh. Well, then I hope I've done a better job!

5121826 Well, Cupcake Chronicles is great, but you've surpassed it in my opinion. 1. For showing in greater detail Dash's mental state. 2. Your story doesn't have any clop chapters.

Amazing! But why is Pinkie a demon?:ajbemused: That doesn't make much sense. At all.

5137438
She doesn't obey any of the other laws of the universe. Why would she obey the one about death being permanent?

5137438

Is Pinkie a demon? Or is a demon Pinkie?

5137547 Shall I pull up the Inception "Bwom" sound effect? :pinkiesmile::rainbowlaugh:

Okay, I'm sorry, but I laughed my a$$ off during this. It just seems like such an 80's B-movie cheesy ending!

C:\Users\Mom and John\Pictures\hvp85f.gif
Wow, that was such an overwhelmingly meh ending!

Eh. I'll admit I didn't care for the spontaneous rainbooming in the previous chapter, but other than that I thought it was a pretty good ending.

I didn't expect Pinkie to be still alive. The scar suggests she's the same one who took a hoof to the face, as opposed to one of them being a changeling or something. Good, "changelings did it" is kind of a cop-out.

5141199 I don't think it was really a rainboom. More of a rainboom-like event. The sort of thing you would expect to happen when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object, and then you throw some magic in there. The idea was that she found her new talent after she was placed in the situation of having to throw herself between her friends and certain doom. Read into it what you will, but Rainbow Dash's loyalty to her friends makes her capable of accomplishing some truly extraordinary things.

Oh, and yeah that is indeed the real Pinkie Pie. And no, she is not a changeling or a murderous demon. Whatever dark force that was tormenting Rainbow Dash and corrupting the Elements of Harmony is still out there... Somewhere.

I got half way reading through the summery when i decided I fucking hate this story no scratch that I really dispise cupcakes alt endings that portray pinkie in a bad light she obviously has a mental disorder and she needs help not scorn hate and revenge from ponies who are suppose to be her friends. Also PINKIE WOULDNT DO THAT TO HER FRIENDS IN THE FIRST PLACE! author i hope you are proud of yourself its one thing to want to get revenge on pinkie for cupcakes but to write this revengefic is uncalled for! Ugh I need a drink if you need me i am going to read a story where pinkie doesn't fucking try to murder her friends. Dash fanboys do me a favor stop getting revenge on pinkie by using that god damn orange horse! Make pinkies friends try to help her not kill her yeesh i swear these stories are made because dash fanboys want to kill off pinkie. That's the only reason Dash fans dislike her so they want to kill her off they are that butthurt over cupcakes. Can someone please kill off applejack i hate her for killing pinkie fucking orange bitch dont touch her with your filthy tree kicking hooves!

5195848 I'm sorry you felt that way about my story. If it helps, Pinkie is one of my favorite characters too, and part of what motivated this writing was exactly the kind of OOC behavior you mentioned. Pinkie is a true friend, and would never act out the way she did in Cupcakes if it were of her own free will.

5196928
I see that makes perfect sense. I didnt know that sometimes you cant tell what someone likes by their story but sometimes when you like something you would redeem it. Sorry for snapping cupcakes really gets to me since its incredibly OOC but sgt sprinkles is at fault for it not you again i am sorry.

All is well. For what it's worth, the synopsis hardly encapsulates the entire plot. If you read through the story, my hope is that you will find your expectations pleasantly subverted.

5198111
I think I will give this a shot then. After all you can't judge a book by its cover. Sometimes the story is more then it seems and summetries are suppose to be vague.

This looks like an interesting (though a bit messed up) story. But what can I expect, its based off of cupcakes. But eh, I'm curious.

5216775 WELL I'LL HAVE YOU KNOW THAT I... uh, well, I actually agree with you completely. :twilightblush: This story was supposed to be on the slightly "messed up" side (see my blog post about why I chose to build my story around such a grimdark story). I like to think that this has a good narrative reason that gets explored more in the sequel (What Came Before, just in case you're wondering). However, as I am writing this I am starting to develop the opinion that the sequel is even more "messed up" than this entry (although the dependency of Cupcakes upon the plot is revealed to be purely incidental).

I know some people didn't care for this, but I thought it was awesome. I prefer a Rainbow Dash who embodies loyalty so much that she performs a damn near miracle to save her friends despite having suffered so much.

But I also like the inference that one doesn't have to be defined by a single talent, and that you can rise again after falling so hard. So screw it - you've earned my respect and my fave for the interesting take on a Cupcakes spinoff/explanation. ::hug::

5243572 I'm glad I was able to convey RD's development, despite the grisly backstory. I knew taking on a cupcakes spinoff wasn't going to be a great idea, politically, but thanks for seeing past that and leaving that really nice comment. Cheers!

Overall in regards to this story, I thought that it was indeed worth reading and in favouriting. I thought you did a fantastic job at portraying the characters personalities and in how they work. The overall storyline was good and I can understand where (most) people would start judging and comparing this to "yet again another" cupcakes sequel or "its too much like cupcake chronicles". However I would say your take on the whole what if factor was indeed interesting and it wasn't just the same generic thing. You gave Rainbow Dash real emotions, even branching the terror onto poor AppleJack.
