I write stories.

T

Each week a different story will be written INSPIRED by the new episode. Tags will be used where applicable, but every story will be different. Not every story will necessarily reflect the episode which inspired it, but will be cut from the same fabric, if you will.

A personal writing challenge to myself to spawn more creativity, and more fun stories to share with you guys.

THIS WEEK: Fears are faced, and Lyra has a birthday party.

Chapters (12)
Comments ( 49 )

THE FUN HAS BEEN DOUBLED!

I will tune in every week~

Could have expanded on how Skygazer was changed, but otherwise interesting and suitably creepy.

5823901 1. I don't know myself 2. I didn't want to ruin it with exposition 3. Some of the creepiest elements are more creepy when left unexplained...

Well...that was horrifying.
...more please.

They approached the front gates together, tall, menacing spires of iron laced with clearly fake cobwebs that provoked more of a laugh than a chill.

Extra space.

upon the face of the shinigami known as Ryuk who haunted other dimensions.

:rainbowlaugh:

The young stallion wore only a silver nameplate reading Skygazer, and an unnaturally wide grin seemed permanently plastered on his face.

Extra space.

At least the Pegasi should have an easier time escaping. They will not have to ride the roller coaster for a thrill. If you can haul ass through the sky under your own power, what is the point of rolling around on a rail in a cart?

I got a rather familiar vibe from the creepy smiling ponies.

Once again, you have caught my interest. A possible twenty-four different stories in one? I am there! Count me in.

One of the best literary devices is "Show Don't Tell."
Isn't it just a little bit creepier, not knowing what they did to him?

Discord groaned, and tugged at his own antlers with annoyance. "You are tearing me apart, Twilight."

Shenanigans? Tomfoolery? Did I step backwards in time to the 1950's? Why do we not go ape and play backseat bingo? We will be on cloud nine, hepcat. And if some square tries to get fresh with my chick, I will tell him to get bent or he will get a knuckle sandwich.

~KBO.:twilightsmile:

5853364 Keep that up and I WILL bring in Megan for the Courage story and then blame it on you :p

This was hilarious.

And now no matter what Luna does, things will just get worse. If she does visit them to tell them to stop, she confirms that this sort of behavior gets Luna to visit them.

If she doesn't visit them, they'll assume they aren't misbehaving enough and get worse.

Maybe the CMC should try to get their Cutie Marks apprentice themselves to Discord. They seem to be naturally gifted at causing chaos.

5878825 I just added a huge new section because I forgot about Twist, make sure you check that out!

5878831
And Neat Freak is the one who will get the visit from Princess Luna to help him with his OCD.

"I'm gonna stop eating my vegetables!"

Are vegetables not like ninety-five percent of a pony's diet?

Bloody Barbecue III!"

Sounds like a dirty scary movie.

"I think it's about these folks at a party who run out of things to eat, so they start eating each other!

A really dirty scary movie!:rainbowwild:

It's my brothers."

There seems to be a possessive apostrophe missing here.

This was an unusual request, but Twist was in here so often that Sweet Tooth recognized her and her business, bowed deeply, and
nodded cheerfully.

It seems you hit the enter key instead of the space bar.

Poor Luna is going to become the next Superman.

We got Mooned! We got Mooned! We got Mooned! We got Mooned!

Do you think it is weird or cool that Snails' voice over artist is Inuyasha's? And Allelujah Haptism's. And Ranma's. And several dozen others that I will not really go into for reasons of space and time.

...that seems fitting, really.

So...what did Gummy pay the geese with?

One day... Tony is going to call in Gummy's favour. And on that far distant future day, Gummy will supply Tony with a distraction by setting off some of Pinkie's partillary next to Sweet Apple Acres, distracting the farmponies while Tony's geese undertake a daring raid of the grain silo...

"Don't be silly. Alligators can't plan parties. Hey, where is Gummy anyway?"

For the love of Celestia, please tell me that this is not a Perry the Platypus parody.

The eye pulled away, and Gummy could clearly see that it belonged to a bright pink monkey, the same monkey who always called him when he needed to go on these emergency missions.

Minka?

however one seemed to be in any danger as far as he could see.

Perhaps you mean "none"?

Another spectacular party was planned for exactly twelve noon today, which was in approximately four hours.

It was only 11pm, the party still wouldn't start for another hour.

I remember doing the time warp. I think you mean "a.m."

Thank you, thank you, thank you, for not doing a Perry the Platypus parody. I cannot thank you enough. I would kiss your feet, but I do not have lips. I lost them to Limp Lip. Keep your meat ice cold.

Gummy Pie: International Man of Mystery.

"That's more ridiculous than a three legged rattlesnake," Apple Bloom said.

That is quite ridiculous. On more than one level.

"You ain't never gonna stop us, Coppers!"

Sickening idiolect aside, "coppers" does not need to be capitalized, unless it is an actual name. Truthfully, I have not gotten that far yet. If it has not become painfully obvious by now, I type these out as I read.

"Y've been in here fer fifteen minutes," she said. "

A wild quotation mark appears!

Celestia has the hiccups, and when that happens the solar schedule get's fussier than a fox at a huntin' dog convention.

You cannot just put random words together and call it a colloquialism.

Whoa, déjà vu.

"We still call Scootaloo a pegasus even though she can't fly."

Damn, that was harsh.

Funny and cute.

~KBO.:twilightsmile:

5932458 Literally the only reason I put that colloquialism in there at all was because of you and that video last time, I'm playing Portal 2 in my spare time and wanted to use you as a test subject to see if I could prompt you to link the video again.

You have succeeded spectacularly.

For science.

5932499 That would explain all the wires attached to my head and the machine that goes DING! every few seconds... Although every time it dings I salivate and get hungry. I wonder why?

"I really don't think that's how this works," Rainbow Dash said.

"I don't care!" Twilight said. "If I can't find a problem to solve, I'll make one!"

Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy exchanged a glance. Whoa. Deja Vu.

Twilight didn't hear her, she was off already, and beginning a supposedly necessary check of every building in town.

Did not hear who? No one spoke in the previous line.

She was thrown in a holding cell next to a bright blue mare in a straight jacket.

ARF! ARF!

Empty author's note is empty.

Even when there is nothing to write about you find something to write about and make it awesome.

The only story in the also liked sidebar is another one of your stories, Avalon.

~KBO.:twilightsmile:

Finally, next to him, on the left side, sat Gilda, who stuck up her middle claw when Discord turned his gaze at her. Classy.

What, no Diamond Tiara? She is more evil than Gilda. Well, I guess this proves that Diamond Tiara is the Eric Cartman of Friendship is Magic.

Do you think that that is what happened to Scootaloo's parents? Diamond Tiara tricked a crazy redneck into killing them. Then Diamond Tiara chopped them up into chili and fed them to Scootaloo. Then, after the big reveal, while Scootaloo is sobbing over her parents being dead and having just eaten them, Rainbow Dash comes along to see Scootaloo crying like a little baby and calls her lame. Then after Dash flies away disgusted, Scoots breaks down and cries even more hysterically. Seeing this, Diamond Tiara, with a smug look on her face, saunters over to Scootloo and starts drinking her tears. Taunting Scootaloo all the while. Diamond Tiara is an evil little piece of sh:yay:.

Hoped that Sempai Luna might notice me again.

It is "senpai".

That was pretty funny, but Diamond Tiara should have been there too. Though I suppose that it is supposed to be a repentance group, and Diamond is an unrepentant and irredeemable little twat twit, it would make sense she was not there.

Quite simply? I don't see DT as a villain.

I see her as suffering from 'Pre-teen Princess' Syndrome, and I like to think in a few years she'll grow out of it, and look back saying to herself "Aw, man, I was a douchewaffle to those guys."

5985035 For her sake, I hope you are right. She cannot be as evil as the writers make her.

5985051

"I'll just come back later."
"Why? You can't come in then, either."

Case in point. Being in DTs position, surrounded by other ponies who have their marks already, leads to a sort of... corruption, I think. It's too easy to feel superior.

5985067 I hope that that is all it is. Unfortunately, she most likely not get a redemption episode until after the Cutie Mark Crusaders get their cutie marks. She is their foil, and must stay so until the show runners say otherwise. Though, she may just be taking after her maybe mama, Suri Polomare. If that is the case, hopefully Filthy Rich is a better role model. And a better disciplinarian.

Huh. Wow.

...the Galloping Griffon was an asshole.

How will the Galloping Griffon get out of this one?

Does the Galloping Griffon not know that he can move in three dimensions?

...as she'd half expected, but really him! Of course, being radio and not television,...

Extra space.

Is the Galloping Griffon supposed to be the Lone Ranger?

The Galloping Griffon had some good advice, but the "dweeb" thing was a little harsh. Though that could just be how all Griffons speak.

:twilightangry2:That's racist!

It was just a hypothetical based on what was written. If you think it was racist, blame the author.

:twilightangry2:Racist!

I have no idea why Twilight is calling everyone racist. This bit sort of got away from me and I forgot the point I was trying to make, so I am just going to end it now.

Does the Galloping Griffon not know that he can move in three dimensions?

What, and leave his faithful steed to be torn apart by timberwolves? Horses that can gallop on a tightrope are absurdly expensive, you know...

6038687 Griffons have the combined strength of an eagle and a lion. "A powerfully-built griffon" like the Galloping Griffon could carry Silver. (I named his horse Silver.)

CCC

6040151

...maybe he had an injured wing? Like Daring Do?

6040237 Or maybe I was a little bit too into my Long Island Iced Tea when I wrote this and forgot griffons could fly... nah, I like the loyalty to his horse thing better. Let's go with that.

Knowing when you are beat is a good thing.

~KBO.:twilightsmile:

"Golem! In the... courtyard...thought you'd want to know..."

Yeah, because why inform the actual Princesses of Canterlot? They are probably too busy not protecting their city. Useless figureheads. They. Did. NOTHING! during the Bug-Bear attack.:twilightangry2:

"Surely you can't be serious."

"Oh, but I am. I'll be right behind you, helping out, of course.

Really? It looks like I am going to have to do this myself. But I must say, I am disappointed the joke was not there.

The golem clipped her, and she she smashed into the ground with a surprised, pained grunt.

One of these should be deleted, though I am not sure which one.:trixieshiftleft:

Spike, now appearing much more like an adult Godzilla than the small juveline he'd been prior to his greed episode

Extra space. Also:
"Up from the depths,
Thirty stories high,
Breathing fire,
His head in the sky,
Godzilla! Godzilla! Godzilla!
And Godzuki!"

Save for the lack of a specific joke, this was pretty funny. Poor Spike. He always tries to please everypony, but ends up pleasing nopony.

~KBO.:twilightsmile:

6115647 You laugh but I literally did put that joke in the first draft, that was the whole reason I had that line in there. But when I reviewed it before publication it wasn't funny at all, it felt... forced and out of place. So I took it out.

Chapter eleven: 5.11 - Face Your Fear - Adventure; No Spoilers:

the NightMare shrieked loudly, rushing down to grab at them in its tendrils of smoke, and all three of them were pulled forward into the closet. The doors slammed shut with a loud clattering.

I have seen enough hentai to know where this is going. Mmmm, giggity.

"Rarity, it's just a mirage," Twilight began. "It's not-"

Hyphen should be an em dash (—).

The vision continued to get worse, with clothing now appearing on all three mares, splattered with multi colored polka dots.

If you insist.

Kind of a tiny little spoiler, but nothing to revealing. Except Twilight's deepest, darkest fear. The horror. The horror.

~KBO.:twilightsmile:

Chapter twelve: 5.12 - Party For One - Slice of Life; No Spoilers:

She saw ponies shopping, running, laughing, doing all sorts of the things that she herself liked very much to do. But she was staying indoors today, because today was a very special day.

Extra space.

Lyra shrieked, her martial arts training kicking in, and grabbed the hooves that had gone around her neck, hauling all her weight forward to fling the attacker over her head and body slam them in an overhead arc onto the floor.

Extra space.

"I was," Bon Bon said, staggering slowly to her feet.

"Hooves".

I told them I couldn't go, I told them I had diarrhea.

You should have wore your diarrheaphragm.

"Of course, that's what best friends do."

"Oh and Lyra, I got you something."

These two lines of dialogue are both spoken by Bon Bon, so they should be in the same paragraph.

"...Yes?" She whispered.

"She" should not be capitalized.

"Bon Bon leaned closer, whispering low and sensually into Lyra's ear.

A wild quotation mark appears!

"Happy Birthday!"

"Birthday" does not need to be capitalized.

Lyra was so close to a meaningful relationship. "You raised my hopes and dashed them quite expertly, Bon Bon. Bravo!"
