"To call me a nerd would be an understatement." ~ Friend of mine

Ponified version of the Count of Monte Cristo, with differences and references.

After being convicted of a crime he didn't commit, Discord is thrown in prison, off the coast of Prance. He used to be a sailor in Mareseille, living with a fiancée who he loved dearly, but he learns once he breaks out that's she's moved on and that it was three of his closest friends that got him thrown in jail. This story is about justice.

Teen tag just to be safe.

I genderbent Rainbow Dash and Applejack. It fits the story.

Warning: Ships included: Fluttercord, Sombrashy(kinda), Rarijack, Raridash, Twidash(kinda), Pinkiedash, and Cheerimac

References to the movie, and the anime, but mostly crosses with the book.

Albert, Eugenie, Franz, and all characters that are important halfway through the fanfic are all my OCs.

EDIT: This is being cancelled for the time being. I have no drive to right anything romance based because of personal issues. People have been mixing up criticism and rudeness up while giving their opinions and criticism. I'm sorry, but hopefully you can understanding.

This is an interesting take on the original; Discord as Edmund isn't something I would have come up with on my own, but it makes a weird sort of sense. Your composition is good, but a little hasty, suffering a bit from outright telling us the characters' emotions and character traits instead of showing it to us via behaviors and reactions. There is no need to give a laundry list of hair and eye colors right as soon as you introduce a new character. Just let the description unfold naturally over the course of the text.

He was a creature compiled of other animals.

"Composed" or "comprised" would serve you better. At one point you use the actual digit "2" which is generally to be avoided in prose (try and spell your numbers when they're that low).

Regarding quotes: do not close the actual words being spoken (inside the quotation marks) with a period if you're going to continue on with a "he said" or whatever afterwards. I know this is hard and I did it myself all the time when I was just starting, but it's a habit you need to break for the sake of good punctuation style.

Hope some of this helps!

6327885 Thanks a lot. I got angry at my editor cause she was ruining the original document, so she never really to edit.

I love the count of Monte Cristo in fact I was listening to this SFM

I'll be watching


ps just one thing in everything everyone involved knew what Dante looked and sounded like I don't care if he had a beard but he has the voice and looks of your scapegoat you should check the chateau dif to at least see if he's still there

cool but instead of discord it should be rainbow dash cough cough ink potts cough

6340362 Yes, I am aware of Ink Potts' work; I love those videos. This is just what I though could make sense, though in a weird way.

This is looking very good and interesting. I can't wait for more and Discord and Fluttershy are perfect in this role to me! I have one question though, do the ponies walk on there hindlegs instead of all fours in this book?

6341613 All pony characters stay on all fours. Discord, of course, is an exception.

Today I was listening to Monte Cristo and thought about how fluttercord makes strange sense for a Monte Cristo MLP story...
Here it is!
Just wondering if its okay for myself to write a monte cristo fic? I was going to write them anthro though...
Im wary because of people accusing me of copying your idea or something and i dont want to argue.

Anyways, i cant wait to read more!

6343409 I don't mind, just try not to get close to my story in terms of changing up the plot and scenes.

6343974
Thanks! And i was going to probably change up some of the characters so they aren't exactly like inkpots/your version.

One word :rainbowkiss: AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can't wait for the next chapter.

6383259 The original book? If so, I must warn you, its weird, and kinda gritty.

so far, this story is great! Can't wait for the next chapter:twilightsmile:

Someone is actually, finally doing this. Yes! Thank you! You will satisfy my need for ponified Monte Cristo!! I'm interested in what you will do with the story though. It seems so far to be a mixture of the movie and Inkpotts animation.. and quite possibly some ideas of your own thrown in there as well? This is just the beginning so there is still so much to guess at! I can't wait for more!

When I first saw this in anime crossovers, I thought this would be based off the space-opera anime version of the Count of Monte Cristo

6666284 It's my story. If you don't like it, don't read it. And just because it's a crossover, doesn't mean I have to "stick to the script".

WHY IS THIS CANCELLED?! THIS SHOUDN'T BE CANCELLED!!!!!!!!!!!! :flutterrage:

6666284
Things are going to be ponifed and you need to get over that. People will crossover shows they like with other shows, so just because YOU think they should stop isn't going to happen. There's a difference between constructive criticism and just flat out being rude. People won't stop just because you say so, so either get over it or just leave it alone.
