Spike ignored the cheering crowd as he made his way to the torch, perfectly in control.
Right on cue, he flicked a spurt of green flame into it and lit it, providing the climax to the opening ceremonies. Miss Harshwhinny was right. Couldn't be simpler.
Awwww, I was hoping to hear Spike perfectly recite the Cloudsdale Anthem!
6570079
Yep. She's already OP enough without the book.
6570137
Heh, that could also have been fun... but it might make Rarity seem slightly non-OP
6570308
Well, a moment of competency, which for him is OP, I suppose.
6570396
Dammit.
You did think of a more OP way to fix it.
6574188
Eh... I wouldn't want to see that.
Also, I don't know the Cloudsdale Anthem, so that might be a bit of a problem.
6574196 Clearly the solution is to make the author more OP.
6574212
Sadly, that isn't quite as easy.
And next up is Twilight's Kingdom, where she has the power of four practical GODS! How much more overpowered can you get?!
6574226
The tricky part is not having her blast Tirek to bits in Part 1, so I leave something for her to do in Part 2.
6574221 Eh, at least this means the challenges you face will give you more character development!
A simple moment, but a very effective one for Spike.
Onwards to the finale, this is gonna be good!
No nervous breakdowns, no ruined anthems, no giant ice cloud of doom, no problem! The Crystal Kingdom's Equestria Games event gets five mustached Spikes out of five. /
"Passable," gushed Ms. Harshwhinny.

LIKE A BOSS!
~KBO.
6574275
Heh. I could probably use a little character development.
Though I suppose my increased productivity lately is a pretty big development (toward being an OP author).
6574311
Eh, probably not as good as you think...
6574358
All because he managed to do what he does by accident all the time.
6574363
High praise indeed.
6574438
Like a competent employee?
6574498 Author has OP productivity, removes drama and challenge, how are we supposed to identify with this character constantly releasing great chapters?
6574565
Great chapters?
You know the last one was like 45 words, right?
6574740 Brevity is the soul of wit.
6575562
*Brevity's wit's soul.
6575651 *Brvt's wt's sl.
6575661
BitSoW
...and now I've invented a new word.
Bitsow: adj, The quality of a thing being better for being shorter.
"It was a decent speech, but it could be a bit more bitsow."
"I like that guy's stories; he' a very bitsow writer."
Now I need to use that in a story.
6575673 tl;dr, bitsow.
Welp, that was easy...
6575744
If there's any chapter of this series that can't be described that way, I've failed in writing it.
6574267 How about doing an overpowered Celestia, who doesn't get a genius idea to send Discord after Tirek and then another genius plan to give all alicorn powers to Twilight?
Or doing an OP Discord, who doesn't immediately fall for an obvious ploy by Tirek and doesn't betray the mane6?
6575869
But if Discord is OP, how did they defeat him in season 2?
6575901 Well since he became their friend he got more OP than before?
*rereads "Keep calm and Flutter on*
oh, a reform spell... nevermind then
"Miss Harshwhinny was right."
Was there ever any doubt?
This chapter...
It only has 46 words...
Heh. I bet you can't fix an episode with ten words.
