Sometimes I like to just sit down and do nothing. Alright fine, all the time.
Once again, Vinyl is going to be late for work and in her mad dash to make it on time, she makes a teeny little mistake. Next thing you know, BAM. She has the hair of a goddess. Don't ask me how, I just write the story.

I may revisit this story for an epilogue or sequel some time in the future. Or I may just extend it when I decide to edit it for mistakes. Who knows?
that was pretty funny! I would love to see more!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WAY TO GO VINYL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
you have some misspells? May I be your proof reader? Here are some right off the bat:
"Oh right, of course. My bad."
couldn't see Vinyl from the living room, but she could tell by her room mates tone that she was blushing. "Umm, where is the tool box?"
"Under the sink." Octavia droned.
heard a loud clatter from the kitchen. "Nope. Not there."
"We've lived in this house for over a year. Surely by now you should at least know where some things are." Octavia sighed loudly before walking to the kitchen. Her normally clean kitchen was now strewn with random utensils and tools that Vinyl had needlessly tossed on the floor. I swear, I am the only mare that can put up with your antics.
lucky I love you, Vinyl. Octavia didn't speak as she nudged the alabaster mare out of the way. She rustled through the various items under the sink and pulled out a dull red tool box.
The boxed words are incorrect. They shouls be Octavia, and Your should be You're
…Pssssshhhhhhh!
Again, you're not your
Missing a comma after ID. Also, just as a suggestion, not that it's wrong, I'd put an exclamation point after ages instead of a period for emphasis.
Missing an s after things
You need either an s or an ed at the end of check to show he is doing something (s for present tense) or did it already (ed for past tense)
Should be closes or closed
face should be faces
Insert the word 'to' in between the words door and the. Flap should be flat.
The apostrophy at the beginning of this sentence should be a quotation mark.
your should be you're.
Either have the word 'to' after had, or ad ed on the end of retreat.
polished should be polishing, since the word started makes this action present tense.
Add a ? after are you stupid. You can keep the exclamation point. Where should be Wear and there should be a / instead of a period after does. And for the last sentence, there should be their.
got should be go to
Worked should just be work.
every ponies should be everypony's
Add 'was' between it and attacked. These are all the errors I found and I hope I helped :D
Vynal's dead now
But I wonder, what if they also switched tails as well?
Thus ended the life of best DJ.
In Vinyls Mind when Celestia burst through the door cdn.meme.am/instances/60045485.jpg
Audience and bystanders memecrunch.com/meme/ADIW/run-bitch-run/image.jpg I really enjoyed the story keep up the good work.
Vinyl.. I would suggest running, but you know, immortal alicorn that controls the sun..., so BEG!!!! BEG LIKE YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT!!!
...because it probably does...
I could totally see a sequel of this featuring vinyl being chased by Celestia all over Canterlot making front page. Hope you decide to do one!
6886383 I love gif's. and funny meme pics.

Hi Vinyl.
Thank you for pointing out all of those errors. Sometimes a I make silly mistakes like that. I wrote most of this around 4am-5am after watching three seasons of anime, so... yeah. hahaha.
Thanks for the offer by the way. Right now my next story might not be ready for a week or two, but if you'd like, sure.
6886845 copy it on a google doc ans send it to me over e-mail. My e-mail is fra094517@stu.aasd.k12.wi.us. and have the document setting set so i can comment and suggest :D
6886872
Or I could pm it to you.
I don't use google docs.
6886879 oh okay lol :D i can just copy and past it into th emassage, make nedded changes and message back :)
6886879 crud. tried typing too fast
Well, it certainly looks better on her.
I liked the idea, although I have to say, it feels like it stops halfway through. Sometimes it's a good thing to stop a story without resolving certain things. In this case, though, the confrontation between Celestia and Vinyl seems like it would have been the funniest part of the whole thing. Certainly more interesting than that conversation between Random Background Pony A and his brother was. That part was so uninteresting and unrelated to anything else, I actually can't remember what was said anymore already.
6887120
Aww, I thought the brothers were cool.
Well if I revisit the story, I'll make it an immediate continuation.
TO THE MOON WITH YOU!
6887338 They could be, they certainly have potential, but for a story this short they just don't have the opportunity to get fleshed out. At the same time they get enough focus that they fall into the uncomfortable middle ground of too much attention on a couple throwaway characters and not enough attention on interesting OCs.
6887855
I don't really agree. They're not interesting characters, not as they're shown. They're a pair of club owners talking about their work and shooting the breeze. There's nothing technically wrong with that, but it's also relentlessly mundane and frankly has no place in a story like this. It's like watching a George Carlin skit only to cut into a scene in some accountants' office. Those two things just thematically don't mesh.
6887975 Like I said. There's enough hint of backstory and personality that there's potential, but their mundane role in the story makes focusing on them for any length of time awkward and out of place. It's not something that should be done in a short story, and in a longer story they need to be fleshed out a lot more. There's no good way to work them into this story, but that doesn't mean they can't be used to prototype more developed characters in a different story. Hence, potential.
Remind me precisely why those two OCs were in the story again? Seriously, they served no purpose whatsoever. The actual joke and supposed main plotline in this story doesn't actually happen until the very end, and only for a few paragraphs. So basically, the story was entirely too short, even more so if you remove all of the wholly unnecessary scenes involving those two random OCs, Generic Pony Trying And Failing To Be Cool And Witty #4532 and Awkward Pony Who Doesn't Actually Do Anything #3987.
Now the fun begins
I'm guessing she missed her point blank magic shot and it hit Celestia thus swapping the hair right?
That's true!
Or not...
But I'm sure Luna approves.
The new DJ looks good, and her sister even better (at least in her opinion)
Nice story!
Too bad on the moon are no soundwaves (because no atmosphere), so Vinyl will get bored very soon.
You definitely should've had Luna in the audience....
6887338 it's cool, I like brothers too.
Though a continuation might in order, this so abruptly!
Vinyl is in huge trouble for this. She might end up decorating the Royal Canterlot Statue Garden as another statue.
6888198
That's kind of the problem with it right there. That scene makes up an appreciable fraction of the story - a good fifth of it or so, by my reckoning. At the same time, it really doesn't add anything to it. It's just a cutaway to an entirely unrelated situation and takes up screentime that could have been used to finish the actual joke instead, instead of cutting it off right before it reaches its punchline.
I felt like the story spent way too much time on OCs, names, appearances, relationship, etc. for a one shot where the punch line didn't even involve them.
It felt like too much padding and you could cut the story to half its current size without losing anything.
Iv'e become dull over time and rarely laugh at anything but this threw me into a fit of giggles more suited for a pony.
that was funny
Overall impressions on the story: it has potential, but could use a bit of TLC to fully reach it.
There were over a thousand words of build-up, most of which was the superfluous scene with Octavia. Only the phone call really did anything useful to set the stage for the fic's entire premise, which lasted only a few paragraphs and didn't provide much payoff; we didn't even get to see Vinyl do anything substantial or fun with her whackjob hair.
The dumb/insensitive approach to Vinyl's character didn't work very well here either, especially since it involves a romantic relationship with Octavia. That kind of relationship is realistically unsustainable, and in a sane world, Octavia would have dropped Vinyl like a rock.
That, plus a deluge of grammar and spelling errors ("it's", "every ponies", "would of", to name a few) and a generally stilted narrative tone (in a single paragraph of exposition, I counted three sentences that all started with "Skyline was"), didn't do much to help things.
I should also note that the vast majority of live musicians (including EDM producers and DJs) aren't "staff" at any particular location, but rather performers that migrate from gig to gig. Typically an establishment (like a bar, restaurant, or similar) will reach out to local performers asking them if they'd like to perform, offering them either a flat fee for the night, a cut of all drink/alcohol sales during the performance, or similar. If the establishment likes them enough, they may ask them to return (maybe once or twice a week), and some places have "house musicians" that are advertised as being a running feature of the establishment ("Vinyl Scratch LIVE every Friday night!", etc), but they're still typically referred to as a third-party contractor rather than a formal employee with a wage.
Overall, it needs a lot of work, but you have a story premise that's rich with comedic potential, and your dialogue is generally pretty solid. I'd say hire an editor to help tighten up your mistakes, brush up on your exposition a bit so it comes more naturally through actions rather than descriptions, and maybe draw out the joke so we can spend more time with the implications and consequences of Vinyl's actions, as well as see more ponies react to it.
Good luck!
6884737 Oh. It's you.
6887855
That is a very good point. I never thought of it like that.
6888336
I'm just assuming Vinyl is bad at anything not relating to music so she failed at semi-advanced magic.
6889401
Yeah... a lot of people have pointed out that the brothers don't work out well in this story. This was kinda of an experiment for me. I've been reading everyone's comments and I'm using this as a learning opportunity.
6889862
To be honest, this was meant to be a story to fill time for my next story. Kinda like an anime filler. I had no idea this many people would read it. You are completely correct about me needing an editor.
6889935
I have one thing to say. It's not even particularly interesting or witty, but here it is:
lol.

You sir, have stolen my heart.
I think you meant "could".

Names are written big.
Either "the salon" or "a salon", but not both.
I think the first "the" should be a "to".
RUN TO THE HILLS! RUN FOR YOUR LIFE~! XD
6890806 Vinyl's gonna have 5 Minutes Alone with the princess.
But in all seriousness, she's gonna get Slaughtered.
