Sharp Spark


Nothing says I miss you quite like war poetry carved in your door with a stanley knife.

Verdict - Twilight Sparkle prosecutes a crime of grave importance.
Fantasy Hoofball - A new sport is sweeping across Equestria.
I Don't Think You're Ready for This... - Love blooms at the Grand Galloping Gala.
Cinderarity - Rarity tells the Cutie Mark Crusaders a bedtime story.
Light and Dark - Celestia and Luna have a conversation.
May the Best Pet Win - Edwin has a plan to claim the position of favored pet.
Monsters - Some monsters do not look like monsters.
Soul Proprietorship - Minuette and Twilight have a run in with the Devil. (s??)
Trixie and Pumpkin Cake Save the World - Title is self-explanatory. (Okay, not really.)
Prisoner in Pink - Pinkie Pie is trapped in the Village.
Scootaloo and the End - Being a kid and growing up. It's hard and nobody understands.
My Little Pony: The Movie: The Fix-Fic - This is how things should have ended. Trust me.

Anagnorisis - Sometimes, a sudden revelation can change everything about how you perceive a story.

This is a cool idea. Would have loved to have seen your TwiDash take on the idea. But since that's not to be, would you mind linking the AppleDash version?

Man, I kinda want you to expand this. The buildup and ending are so great, I just want to feel more of everything!

I kinda agree. It as pretty nice. I don't like such an abrupt ending though. I really wanted to know where that would go.

I appreciate this so much, you have no idea. :D I'm sorry you didn't finish this, it really feels like it needs more. :B

Never know, I might go back to it one day! The biggest thing in the way is I have a first chapter of a different pleasant slightly-comedic fic hanging around unfinished that I like a little better, so if I do end up going back to that genre, it's already got dibs.

This went exactly where I expected it to, aside from incorrectly guessing the PoV character. Still quite amusing.

Oh, I liked this. I'm a sucker for good twists.

Of course, I saw the identity of the adoree coming lightyears away, although for just a few sentences at the start I was thinking of Celestia.

The adorer, however, was a very nice surprise, fairly foreshadowed.

Also, you are good at making words in thoroughly pleasing permutations without spelling or grammar issues. Very nice. :twilightsmile:

I'll third the "saw the twist of the object of affection's identity coming from the beginning, but enjoyed it anyway" crowd. The narrator's identity snuck up on me, pleasantly so. :raritywink:

Oh man, I had no idea what was going on until the very last line, that was brilliant! I bet Luna justifies this on the grounds that it "helps ponies face challenges in a team setting. Also, I like the idea that any industry or group that starts failing can come complain to Celestia about "cutie mark dysphoria." (I don't think it's actually a good thing, I just think it fits really well in the setting.)

Now that was amusing. Very clever idea! :yay:

I don't even.

Well, I do. A little. I know I love this Lyra. :D

(Honestly, why didn't you post this as its own story? c.c)

When I saw "green curves", my thought was "Yessss, it is Crackle!"

I was wrong, but not disappointed.

Aaaargh. You got me.

Does it count as bestiality if they don't have a spine? :twilightoops:

Well what would you call sex with invertebrates? ...I ask because there's no way I'm going to try and google that myself. :pinkiesick:

6329202 I don't know, but there's probably a name for it.

I kind of hope that he really is hallucinating, and that's just a jerk beggar who knows how to prank ponies who walk out of a psychiatrists office.

This was an amazing fractured fairy tale :rainbowlaugh: it's too bad the complete project wasn't finished

I'll miss seeing new stories from you! :applecry: you were one of my favorite authors here

Ahh, that was great. :D Sorry it comes with a note that you're out for the near future.

This was amazing and I really feel it could've been published on its own. Thanks

I did Google it because YOLO and didn't find anything. I guess it just falls under the bestiality envelope. Most invertebrates wouldn't he compatible anyway, except possibly larger octopuses or squid. So maybe just call it hentai.

Also, totally didn't guess either of them.

6775763 I've already suppressed the memory of whatever it is we're talking about.

I don't get the last line.

Feg hooted.

:trixieshiftright:You are a very bad pony.:rainbowlaugh:

Ever since Mafia Bunnies, I love the idea of Machiavellian scheming going on within Fluttershy's cottage among the animals. Poor Edwin, he should probably just leave town right now. When you strike at a King, don't miss!

I found this story compelling. Bravo! :)

I was thinking I'd seen this in another story of yours, but I must just remember it from the writeoff. :O That means it's memorable, excellent!

This is brilliant! It's exactly what I love most about good MLP fanfic: Taking simplistic situations and events from the show, and making them more complex and subtle. Well done!

This is super adorable.

You are now fully into the part of this collection that consists of unfinished stories, unfortunately. There's bits in all of them I really like, but they're also all incomplete and doomed to languish that way.

Damn, I do wish you'd finished this.

Note: These links don't work anymore unless you include a password on the story.

Thanks! Site change thing I guess.

Ooh, that's a creepy one.

This was very fun, had me thinking of the time Homer sold his soul for a donut. The long-term payoff sounded like it would be a blast.

This one felt weird before getting to the author's note. Two strong scenes with only the most tenuous of ties: magic, bitterness, and perhaps ambition or pride, looking back. I actually scrolled back up to make sure I didn't switch chapters between them.

Do feel awfully bad for Pumpkin, here. The Cakes seem to be much more restrictive parent(al figure)s than the CMC have. :P It's almost like you mean to suggest screwups have consequences.

I think I may have missed out on ever really doing the straight coming of age thing, certainly at the same age. Don't think Huck Finn and Tom Jones really count. Not sure if it's something you ever really outgrow, though, at least not as long as you still have things you're leaving behind, or the memory. The feeling I got from this suggests perhaps not.

You and me both. But glad we got what was here.

What happens in the last three stories?

I've added descriptions to the anthology's summary.

Not particularly helpful descriptions, but c'est la vie.

A clever way of hiding the link. However, it is broken.
What did it lead to, may I ask?

Not sure what you mean. But thanks.

I like this better than most movie fix-fics.

A "feghoot" is a short story which serves as an elaborate, convoluted setup for an extended pun or tongue-twister. The punchline here is a pun on a famous line from a Robert Burns poem, which is sometimes rendered as "the best-laid plans of mice and men oft go astray".

The worst.
