This story is a sequel to Room for Rent


Every show has a Christmas special, and Room for Rent is no exception!

Pinkie Pie has fully embraced the Earth Holiday, much to the annoyance of her roommate, Louis. Why does he hate Christmas so much, and how can Pinkie pull off one of those miracles she keeps hearing about to change his heart?

Yet another overly long chapter that I decided merited it's own side story. Previously part of the main story.

:rainbowlaugh: Was there A Christmas Story reference in there?

5979389 Pretty sure there was more than one

Wait. How is it done alreay? This chapter is capled prelude

5980659 These chapters were published as part of the main story. I decided to remove them and make them a side story instead. The originals were very rough, and totally unedited, however, so I will be republishing them as my editor finishes polishing them. They are actually there, but you cannot see them till I hit the publish button.

5981304 okay, thanks for clearing things up. Sorry for the abundance of typos

AAAAND DONE!

5991525 typos? Did you actually read this mess before I edited it?

This is why I need a new editor, lol. My rough drafts are like 20% typo. If it wasn't for the auto-replace feature, my stuff would be unreadable.

And here we go, time to re-read this again now!
Let's see if there are any changes, or just copy-paste, split & checked for grammar.

Yeah, Christmas is pretty similar to me - nowadays it's just commercial bullshit which I don't care about.
But I do love the fact that at least the family comes together.

This was a pretty strong part of the story.

Out of all the three spirits, this was the one that affected everyone the most I dare say.

Well, nevertheless, it's still good to see the chapters up again :twilightsmile:

6277439 Ya, I didnt change more than a word or two, it was mostly editing and spellcheck, since I didn't even bother to edit it the first time though.

Haven't read this yet (and may not), but: where does this fit in to the "main" story? And why would you split out a chapter of an ongoing, episodic story just because it was "long"? It's not like there's an upper word count limit; why make the reader go back and forth?

6782574 Because it was not only long, but I couldn't find a place to solidly anchor it into the existing timeline. Also, it was done more as a trope that every show eventually has a christmas episode, as well as a "Very special" episode, and so on. I just decided we needed a Christmas story, started writing it, and after a few thousand words, decided it needed to be a spinoff. Think of it as an alternate timeline, and it will not have any impact on the main story. If i ever get around to finishing it. *sigh*:pinkiesad2:

Reading this is entirely optional, and will have no impact at all on the main story, nor will any other side stories, such as the Drop of the Creature side story. But damn, you are missing out on some fun if you don't read it!:pinkiehappy:
