If you're looking for sarcastic humor, you've come to the right place!

When Rainbow Dash, your best friend approaches you suddenly, clutching a stack of papers she claims to be a story that she wrote to her chest, what would you do?

Oh, there's also the fact that the characters in her story seem oddly familiar...

That was a really cute story, great job on it:rainbowkiss:

Nice! Loved this!

TLP

I love finding stories like these and reading them.

This was awesome. Thank you for putting this up.

I'll admit that this is a cute story...keep up the good work!:rainbowwild:

cute story.

"Sorry Rainbow, but I don't you're going to be a world class author any time soon."

^ lol

There are grammatical mistakes, as well has spelling errors EVERYWHERE in this.

Tfw the fic beats you to it.

This story reminds me of another fic that pretty much tells a similar story. It’s call “Please Proof Me!”.
However, I like the ending to this one better. :ajsmug:

6903492 Really? I haven't read that one, is it too similar?

6903563
The plots are the same but the stories are told differently.
They’re both about a clueless human that Rainbow Dash has a crush on. She tries to tell him about her secret feelings through a story she wrote but he still doesn't get it, and that’s where the similarities end. The other story has a little more in it then what you put in yours but yours was fun to read too. You should give it a read and see the differences between the two for yourself.
The best part for me in the other story was actually reading Rainbow’s horribly written fanfic. It was so bad, I couldn’t stop cringing and laughing while reading it. :twilightsheepish:

6903492 Please proof me has a crap ending. It spoiled the whole fic for me.

Hated it! It was a cute nice little read but Anon! Give your human a name!!!!!! Why is there no "Anon" tag? I hate to read a nice little story just to have to down vote anon. Rant off(no I did not down vote it)

:rainbowderp: ohhh kaaayy
that was hilarious

6904076
That's why I said I liked this stories ending more. :facehoof:

6904536 Well duh. I was agreeing with you. ffs.

6904098

Give your human a name!!!!!!

Your problem is that he doesn't have a name despite the face he clearly has a name.
Full name Anon Jay smith. His dad is called Anthony and his mom is called Anna.
They wanted to name their child after them selves but were not sure if it would be a boy or a girl so they went with Anon.

6910810 What? The story said none of that.

I came here for reading rainbow and never got it, I'm disappointed:raritycry:

6910908 I made it up :facehoof: My point was that what difference dose it make if he is called James or Steve instead of Anon?
None, Nada, Zip, Zero, Zilch.
In a world where Celebrities call their children Blanket, Rocket, Audio Science and Ocean to name a few why dose Anon bother you so much?

6913789 You didn't answer my question, Why dose Anon bother you so much?

6913799 I don't know for sure but it's like a itch I can not scratch. I did like this story Anon or not.

"Best friend!"
"Best friend!"
"Best friend!"

Now where have I seen that before?

Awesome, that end really made me... feel something

the meaning of best friend in a nutshell!:trollestia:

:trollestia::trollestia::trollestia::trollestia:

Okay I read it, just kind of dissapinted already that this is just a one-shot.

Okay I finished it, it is getting an upvote from me, but nothing more, it is really good, just to short for what I prefer.

If there is a sequel I would like to read it, maybe using this story as a prologue for a longe one? I kind of like the writing style.

You need to change 'often' to 'awfully' and a 'thought' to 'though'.

Otherwise great work! Write more pls :raritywink:

I loved this story so much I'm gonna make a fanfiction reading on it. Will give you credit. :rainbowwild:

7612654 Dude that's awesome! Let me know how it comes out!

7612887 Sure! I'm even gonna be adding some artwork & try to get some VA's IF POSSIBLE.

7643147 Awesome! I'll check it out :)

7643719 It was great except the title says Ep3 but the description says Ep 2. Just a little heads up :P

7643763
Thanks for the tip XD
Also I gave "Anon" a real name because there seems to be an uproar if your character is named anon for some reason XD

The moral here today is spellcheck your love confessions/fanfiction.

It is unclear, though, why she'd fall in love with a human :trixieshiftright:. No one would ever notice, had such a thing occurred to two ponies, but for two creatures of different species it should either be more drama, or have more backbone. It's like a draft to a love story :unsuresweetie:.

Also the human seems to be somewhat emotionless: "Yes, my absolute best friend? You want me to proofread your story? Sure, my ABF! Anything for you! Well, let's see here... (Oh my gosh, I wanna burn it, it hurts my eyes to see this kind of errors!) Let me teach you the basics, my ABF (starting from grade 2, perhaps :ajbemused:)... You like me?.. And would even marry me eventually?!.. ...Sure thing, my... no, no one has ever said anything about marriage, just that your liking me is that kind of liking... But sure, whatever... my ABF. By the way, I am not mad at you (even if I should be confused and be like: "Huh :rainbowhuh:??!")... Boy, things have escalated way too quickly, my ABF!.. But... Sure. I will go on a kind of a pretend date (that's not a date, right? I should never date a pony... well, unless I do fall in love with one, but... :facehoof:...)".

See? There is no conflict. No turmoil. Just a dummy. And why make such a dull character, anyway :rainbowhuh:? Make me experience what that human is supposed to! Isn't it the whole point of telling in second-person??

And there's got to be no way Rainbow was that bad at writing! The way you described it -- she was pretty bad in classes. Or she was still in the first grade. She is mature enough to live all by herself, right? I'm pretty sure she had passed the final test in Language at a grade higher, than D (that's my assumption, anyway).

Also the human should have at least raised his eyebrow a couple of times. How was he so blind not to notice the similarities :facehoof:?

Like, had it been me there, I would have been like: "Ex... cuse me? Am I reading this right?.. You have...quite peculiar interests, Dashie... But you should have totally invented a more creative way to establish romance. You see, inserting real people (or ponies, for that matter) may ruin their dignity. Fiction is fiction, because the characters are fictitious (as a rule of thumb)", -- and so on. And upon hearing her confess I would have, well, reacted? Like, what??! (:twilightoops:.) I am confused on -- so many levels :applejackunsure:...

Fellows, I feel compelled to explain, why there is a revulsion.

When it comes to naming characters, choosing them names is no easy task. It takes contemplation to give him a fitting name. Does "Anon" fit the character? It might. It could be a very good name... were it not for there being a certain lack of education to many people, who used to chat on image boards and the like, back when there were almost no good sites to dwell. You see, %username% could be substituted for one's online nickname. Of course, anonymous users would have no nicknames at all, which was why their %username% would be "Anon". Further, not always was there such a variable available. And some people thought, it was witty to insert "you" (whoever was reading their creations) as the protagonist, hence the string "Anon", rather than the var. %username%.

Yet some rather educated people knew, it was unconventional for a decent piece of literature to refer to "you" as to "Anon" (since there had been ways to refer to "you" way before the Internet even was conceived). These educated folks must have passed their education on. A decent writer never names his/her character "Anon": it has a certain touch of filth (:raritydespair:) that can be found among rather perverted posts on some sites (not to mention, such places' dwellers were writers themselves rarely). A decent writer might, however, make his/her creation look like such a post -- the name "Anon" is thus justified :raritywink:.

Here ends the lesson.

I know the name Anon is justified that is the point I was making. But thanks for clearing that up on an argument that ended 3 years ago.

9521982
Didn't she drop out of school? Now, I personally like to imagine that she went back, and got enough of an education that busting storm clouds wouldn't damage her, as she would need a certain level of education for that to be true, but there's nothing in the show pointing to this fact. Also! The title of this story deserves the following song:

9937918
:rainbowhuh:: "Dafq??" Disregard that...
:rainbowhuh:: "Did I what out of what??"

If she did, she must have been a pretty unfortunate filly, because only "losers for life" are supposed to study terribly, to drop out and to get undesirable, despicable jobs. But... we know for a fact, that RD is way too awesome :rainbowdetermined2: to be called a loser! It is not to say she was a grade-A student like Twilight... but I think, she did OK.

9938207
:rainbowhuh:: "Did I what out of what??"
Then why weren't you in the Wonderbolts from the beginning, Dash? They are, after all a military organization, and you saving the world countless times could be seen as on the job training for that kind of thing...:facehoof:

9938984
Why?..
I guess, because the sempais would never notice me (:fluttershysad:)!

9939095
They wouldn't notice the pony that performed the Sonic Rainboom? Your smarter than this, Dash! By a bit, at least. Who wouldn't notice the Sonic Rainboom? :facehoof:

9939117
That's right, everypony would!.. But... you know them sempais (:ajsleepy:)... The awesomest pegasi in the world (:rainbowkiss:)!.. Ah!.. Maybe, they just wanted to prove me to be their match? Oh, yeah, and a match I! Am (:rainbowdetermined2:)!

:pinkiesmile:: But you are no match, Dashie... You are a pony!

(:facehoof:) Not that kind of match, Pinkie!..

:pinkiehappy:: I know! [cue a rim-shot.]

[:rainbowlaugh:]

9939159
But wouldn't saving their lives at the best young flyer competition, along with Rarity's, and still managing to do a Sonic Rainboom with all of that deadweight weighing you down have convinced them? :facehoof:
Yeah, Dash. I think maybe they were waiting for ya to teach your honorary little sister how to fly. :ajbemused:
Which you never did, even though you totally could have!:scootangel:
And now it's too late! :applecry:
Yes girls, thanks for that...Anyway, pardner, like Ah was sayin', they were waiting for y'all to teach your little sister how to fly. When it became apparent that ya were never going to, they made you a Wonderbolt so that she could say that she was sisters with a Wonderbolt. :applejackunsure:
Which was cool, at first, but then I realized that I would never step out of your shadow, so I decided to join the washouts! :scootangel:
That didn't turn out so well... :unsuresweetie:
It could've been worse... :scootangel:

9939187
:rainbowderp:: But!.. But... But, Scootaloo!.. (:ajsleepy:)

...

Well...

:rainbowdetermined2:: I say, it's NEVER too late (:flutterrage:)! Come on, Es-te-el! We may still have the BEST quality time!

...Um, Scootaloo?.. I'm calling ya! Yes, of course it means you! "Es-te-el" is how I spell your name (from now on): "STL"! As in "Scootaloo", but, y'know... Radical names :rainbowdetermined2:!

9939811
it's not? You mean you'll teach me? :scootangel:
Btw...if this doesn't happen in Gen 5 now, I'mma gonna quit life.
