The Incognito Brony


Elsewhere I'm Brony Incognito, but that name was taken here, so what're you going to do. Something of an oddball, but I do try to entertain. Hope you all enjoy the insanity I come up with.

Trixie returns to Ponyville to retrieve what's left of her wagon and slip away without being seen. On the way out of town she meets up with somepony she didn't think would be happy to see her again.

One shot.

Wound up watching Boast Busters eight times in about three days to try and get Trixie's character for a chapter of another work. Felt the need to write this after realizing something about how Trixie spoke.

I likes this story it makes Apple Jack just that much cooler :ajsmug:

Not bad. A few mistakes (spelling/grammar/word choice) but quite readable. Nothing groundbreaking here but it fits well into my own perceptions of Trixie and Applejack.

Headcanon alert! A satisfying read :)

Thanks, though I always fear the idea of creating headcanon for anyone.

Thank you

not bad, the only complaint i have is that you used likes like "the blond pony" to much normally thats saved for when a character if first introduced, when they come back to the story afer being away for a while, or they do something heroic, for example ""i... i did it" the blond haired pony said" of course that line needs more work, but i hope tou you get the point, normally just an "apple jack said" will be fine.


other than that it was a nice story, it kept me interested and i think i like trixy a little more now, but now you NEED to do a trixy back story, like how she got her cutie mark, and her past obvously! :pinkiehappy:


ill watch you and see what you wright in the future, i hope you dont mind, but im going to make similar comments on all of your stories from now on, because thats what i do for every story :twilightsheepish: also whith tour past stories.... i when i say stories i mean fics, thats just a habit of mine.

I like this story for the same reason I like your other stuff. It's character-driven and wonderfully subtle, definitely pointing at certain things but never flat-out stating them. The reader is instead encouraged to read the subtext and draw their own conclusions. That can be a very hard style to write in and always runs the risk of just straight-up going over the reader's head; I admit to feeling like I missed something obvious at one point in this story. In the end, though, it's rewarding because in a way it's as much your experience as the character's. A good read.

That was a nice little one shot. I liked the characterization you gave the two, not friendship and not quite frienemies but a slight mutual respect. Also your story's the first I've seen to capture AJ's lie face. (to rather hilarious results)

Nice story. It seems that there was a lot left unsaid. A lot of things insinuated but not made clear. After reading your comment about getting her character just right, I'm wondering what exactly you saw (and the way that she spoke) that made you write this piece.
Greenthumbed!

Thanks. Though, yeah that's mostly just my style. I try to have everything in there, but without flat-out telling all the details so people can come to their own conclusions. Does sometimes bite me in the butt, mind.

What I saw in the episode was this: In nearly every Trixie story I've seen, there's a show of Trixie having a hard time using the first person. But, in the show, that's not the case. In fact, it's the exact opposite. When she drops the third person, she speaks comfortably and her demeanor changes and becomes more subdued.

Reference back a ways in the episode to Snips and Snails talking about her show (not counting the challenges that, frankly, all started due to Rainbow's taunting) and you get this line: "Tell us more stories, oh Great and Powerful One." And consider why they'd ask for that and not a trick.

She's a storyteller.

That's not to say she's not a powerful mage, but that's not what she is. What she's putting on is effectively a one-man/mare show about the Great and Powerful Trixie, as performed by Trixie. Everything we see about her wagon and what it does actually reinforces this as well. The G and PT is just a character she plays.

1964275 Thanks for the reply. I always like to hear the author's reasoning and take on their stories. Glad you took the time to elaborate! I've apparently read all your stories now, and greenthumbed all of them. Guess I might as well follow you as well! I'll be commenting on the other two soon.

HI there. I hope you don't mind, but I liked this fic so much I have put together an audio version on YouTube.

Trust me, you won't catch me complaining about something like that. Thanks.
