Hey, cool. I thought they didn't let you post this before? *Shrugs* Oh, well, cool to see it posted here.
Ah, this takes me back to my childhood of watching veggietales that was my favor of watching.This is much better, keep up the work. I expect more stories of this
6902352
They didn't, but with alittle more effort on my part and some edits, I was able to get the approval and publish it;)
You wrote a story based off of an episode of Veggie Tales? Immediately commendable.
This...... Is.... AWESOME!!!! It's a great story so far Wonderful work
I love it so far! I cannot wait to see more!
No. Just no.
Xerxes was a Persian king. Not Saudi.
My inner historian hates you.
The brony loves you.
We appear to be at an impasse.
6902824 To be fair, Saddle Arabia is MLP's version of the entire Middle East. Persians and Saudis are the same thing in the pony world.
6902824
I know I know, its not historically accurate:/
Hmm, I should have put a history warning or something on this:/ But, I understand your pain cause I love history too. BUT keep in mind, this story had to currently fit in the world of MLP so far. And the only desert like kingdom we've been introduced to is Saddle Arabia. So again, keep that in mind.
Based on Veggies Tale episode huh.....you do realize that itself is based off a story from the bible right. i dont know why but that irks me
OK. I just favorite, followed and liked this story just like you told me. How many more people should do this too?
This is Fluttercord right?
" Biblical " Wow I figured this stroy would have way more down votes . (you used the B word)
I love this story! I've read it on fanfiction.com and on your update on there when you said that you published it on here I was so happy!
6904058
Thank you so much for the favorite and like and follow
Hmmm, not sure how many specific likes I need:/ Most likely, I need at least a 100 likes to be considered fairly popular.
6904243
Oh haha lol In that case, hello Crystal!
Yay the first piece of art for this story! No worries and no rush, take your time on the picture
6904295
Yes, that's correct
6903422
Yes, I do realize that and I was aware of it when writing and creating this story. But this story is drawing elements from BOTH the VeggieTales episode AND the actual Esther story from the Bible.
6904470
Haha lol I know, the dreaded B word
6905117 How many do you have so far?
6905138 One that people should not be getting into trouble for using.
So far, the only thing bothering me as the reference to Celestia as a goddess. If this is supposed to be based on a Biblical story...
Sorry. Just my personal concern. So far, it's avoided being sensually offensive, which I was afraid of, and it's not that bad. Hopefully, the remaining chapter are of similar quality.
6905294
46 likes Can you believe?! After just being posted up on Fimfiction for, what, almost two days
6905358 Think you might win? Or do you need more then that?
6905305
Why thank you
In terms of why this story has Goddess Celestia instead of the Christian & Hebrew God is because I wanted to make this MLP retelling as true to the world of MLP as I could. And the closest thing ponies gave to a concept of a god is Princess Celestia. At least so far anyway. Plus, I wanted this story to have a more universal feel and draw in a wider audience than just people who in the Christian and Hebrew. I want this story to show Biblical lessons and stories can apply to a wider audience, and that people can appreciate these kinds of lessons and stories from the Bible.
6905364
Well, we're certainly on the right track when it comes to people reading it and knowing about it:) But in terms of winning, that's for the host of the contest to decide.
MORE MORE MORE!!!!
6905379 I hope you win I would like to see your story in audio drama. That be awesome.
This is a very well written story and I want to read more of it.
6906552
Sounds good, can't wait to see it
Oh my gosh, VeggieTales was my childhood!!!
I watched veggietales as a kid. Can't wait to see how you handle this story!
Aack! I can't get over the whole Hamana instead of Haman thing. Not everypony has to be feminized, lol!
Oh the Aisle of Perpetual Tickling, surely a fate worse than death ;) Whoever came up with that one is a genius, though I wonder if you're going to stick with Haman and him setting up his gallows. I'm just glad you kept the original party in tact instead of the whole "Make me a sandwich" in the middle of the night nonsense. I get why Big Idea Productions did that, but it still bugs me. Too many things are taken out of context in Veggie Tales when it comes to Biblical stories. Maybe it was a good thing Phil Visher had to come back from bankruptcy of his own company and start up a whole new series for himself.
6905387 I was just thinking of doing this :)
pretty good those 2 last chapters looking forward to friday
Can't wait for the pea-oni brothers and the grand piano.
6908190 Doing what?
Please have this song in the story!
Can't wait for Dt, SS, and the Piano.
Phineas and Ferb reference?
6918679
Where?
6918832 The Changing Tables every few minutes to meet a new possible queen. That sounds similar to Th Mix and Mingle Machine from Phineas and Ferb
6919777
Oh, really? I did not know that
Then again, I don't watch Phineas and Ferb
6919989
6921842
Haha lol I can definitely see the similarities between this and the dining room table system in Chapter 3 Although, I don't think Discord's system isn't this quick and plus, it doesn't have a lever to send his unwanted guest flying from their seats
Did you win yet?
6915294
I quiet agree with you, this story is as unique as a newly bloomed flower in the fall
6930078
I haven't submitted the story yet, and I will submitted in the beginning of March. The last day to submit is March 10th, and the results of the contest will be announced on March 12th.
SOOOO CUTE!!!! Absolutly love this story!
So far the story is very interesting. I kind of get a bride of discord feel in this story.
The only concern I have is trying to remember the change in names. With Weeky updates it's hard to remember whose who. Maybe you should write in the description to clear those doubts
