Friends with Anoymous!

After having failed to defeat Discord with the elements of harmony, Twilight returns to the Golden Oaks library to pack her bags and leave Pony Ville. Upon entering her room, she discovers a pile of letters and spike curled into a ball, in pain. The letters were sent from Celestia. Yet before Twilight has the chance to read any of these letters, Discorded Fluttershy burns the pile to ash.

I like happy endings. By the time the story ends, will I be glad I read it?

5862879
. . . . Um . . . about that . . .

5862879
I don't want to disappoint you so to tell you the truth . . . do you like cliffhanger endings?

5862998

Might want to add the [Tragedy] tag then, for something bad happening that won't be reversed.

5863010
Oh! Is that what tragedy means? Okay sure, I'll add it.

Difference between [Sad], [Dark], and [Tragedy]:

[Dark] is when the setting is darker. Can include death but doesn't have to, generally a less happy setting. Poverty, xenophobia, discrimination and all things like that can make the setting dark even with no violence. It is also used to depict excess violence beyond, say, A Canterlot Wedding Changeling invasion shenanigans, or Daring Don't fighting minions. If it doesn't feel like a Saturday morning cartoon anymore, it's [Dark]

[Sad] is when sad things happen. Hits you right in the Feels, but can have happy endings. It's more of an emotional setting than anything else.

[Tragedy] is when something happens that either cannot be reversed, or takes great pains to break even. Such as, having somepony be exiled under false pretenses, and trying to make up for that mistake later. Even if they return and 'accept' the apologies, it still hangs in the background. Also: character death, being crippled, fatal flaws causing the protagonists downfall (classic tragedy), bad endings. While it can have a happy ending or at least a bittersweet ending, it's tainted by the journey. [Tragedy] usually has one defining event (though it can be more) that pushes it to tragedy levels. In this case, burning the friendship reports that starts the downward spiral.

Oh, that makes sense, thanks!

Twilight is so indecisive.

Reading this story... after every chapter, I feel ill. I should untrack the story, but I'm hoping, praying for a turn around.

5884244
Dude if your looking for a happy story, you should untrack this one while its still early. I don't want to give spoilers but the endings a cliff hanger, or a "to be continued" sort of thing. So that's one sign that the ending/story might not be what your looking for.

This story... is so...

Bucking...

Awesome..!

5884281 :fluttercry:

Have a like for being patient with me, even if I will probably wait 'til the ending to see where it goes. It's just not my kind of story. . .

5884301
That's fine, thanks for reading part of it, and the like. You can read the ending if you like (once I eventually get there that is), but I'm not sure if you'll like it. If you like happy endings, your really not going to like this one. I'll give you a hint: look at the stories picture and take a guess at what's going to happen. That's all I'm really going to say. Anyways, thanks for the like! :twilightsmile:

Neat I haven't read any stories that followed a discorded Twilight, I wondered what she would have been like if she'd stayed around longer. The added side story of Spike being discorded is interesting, though I don't quite have a grasp on what that means. Hope to see more!

Hmmm. Interesting

Defiantly a interesting story. Cannot wait to see where it goes.

Haha discord turned it dark on purpose! LoL!

Dessert=Tasty
Desert=Sandy
You might wanna fix that :raritywink: otherwise quite entertaining so far.

5892530
Oops! My bad! Thanks! I'll fix it now.

great job like always

Poor Spike, I hope Sweetie Belle catches up to him. Be a shame to break her heart.

Due to finals approaching, I won't be able to work on Twilight's Journey until summer vacation (May 30). I will be sure to post up a lot of new chapters in June and July. Until then however, I am sorry but I will have to place the story under hiatus. I know the story just started and I'm sorry for the inconvenience. There will be new chapters in June. Sorry :fluttercry:

5941185 Good luck!, By the way I wonder what Celestia's reaction will be when she finds out Fluttershy destroyed the letters she sent twilight.

Hey its almost the end of the month! :pinkiehappy:

Would you look at the time it's broken~ best line ever!:pinkiehappy:

Chapter one has been updated with more content.

Is this story truly on hiatus or are you working on it?

6086550
It is on hiatus, but I'm not posting any chapters until I have a good bit done.

6086823 Well don't forget this story. Its a pretty interesting one. And I for one am enjoying it.

6087160
Thanks! Sorry I haven't posted anything sooner. I'm working on another story called The Sirens and the Vampire. I have updated the first chapter so that there is more content to it. Although I hope I didn't accidently ruin the beginning. I felt I left the beginning a bit too vague so I put in more things to kind of predict what's going to happen. I hope I didn't accidently ruin it by doing that. All in all I will post up more Twilights journey as soon as I can.

I am very sorry about the excruciatingly late update. I know I said I would update at the beginning of summer. But I got side tracked over a few minor to major to very very major things. I won't go into detail. All in all I'm sorry for the late update. To make up for it I will be posting five chapters tomorrow. Then I will try to keep up with updates. So, ya . . . . sorry :fluttershysad:

I can't help but ask, didn't this Discord claim he doesn't turn ponies into stone, on account of what happened to him?

wow that's dark

6230490
I don't recall him ever saying that :applejackunsure:

6230520
Oh believe you me, compared to some stories out there, this was pretty tame. You know what Fluttershy's doing, and the characters talk about it. But I don't actually go into specific detail, and the characters don't witness it either (well except Discord).

6230556
. . . . . . Dang it :facehoof:

6230556
Well lets just say in my story he's a hypocrite, aight? I don't wanna have to change that entire chapter :fluttercry:

6230571 he is the spirit of chaos after all

6230571

I figured if it was in their heads, it would be an interesting method of making them think twice of sentencing him to the same fate.

I always wondered why Twilight never comments on it, when she herself had been petrified prior.

6230590
I don't quite understand. What's happening in who's head? And Twilight never commenting on something because of what?

6230571 To be fair, Discord said he didn't turn PONIES into stone. He never said anything about not turning dragons into statues.

6230642
Lol! True! :rainbowlaugh:

here's a suggestion for the desert that Appleloosa is in, turn it into dessert

6230695
Isn't desert= sand and dessert = something tasty?

6230695
Because I've made that mistake before, and someone helped me fix it.

6230642 that is true

6230556 he never said anything about dragons

this won't end well...for Fluttershy

6230702 yeah but it would be funny and I can imagine Discord doing that, also he's gone to Canterlot hasn't he?
