lol not bad
And Spike does have a point, it does seems like all the really bad crap happens now that Twi is around lol (and so no one can get mad at me, I don't know all of MLP history I just know that Celestia is always sending Twi out to fix things)
This was...... incredibly cheesy, and yet fun in a ‘don’t think to hard about it’ type way. Just go along, enjoy the action, the insanity. And all for one hell of a cheesy joke that... you manage to make work. It felt kind of rushed and kind of just, stuff happening at random for the sake of tossing in random stuff at times. But, the whole thing managed to be a really fun time by being absurd enough to laugh at, while still having it’s own internal sense of logic to it.
Not a whole lot more to say given, this isn’t the sort of story you pick apart, just, go with the flow and enjoy, and it was a fun, if cheesy at times but in a good way, ride.
Also... reference... only think can think of is the xkcd strip.

Perfection! You got it!
The entire concept was based off of that one goofy strip, and the cover pic is basically it. It’s basically why the fic itself was somewhat-subtly cheesy, hiding in a work that has some sense of seriousness.
As for the probably rushed nature, this was written approaching a personal deadline, so that might attribute to it. Also, the way the story was written, I was basically trying to write in a manner od connecting the dots between defined plot points that I knew I had to reach. The build-up was really the hard part, and it was creating a story with functioning internal logic that was the challenge here. I ended up having a personal obsession to this story needing to make sense, which meant constructing a lot of surrounding plot just to hold up a few jokes.
Writing a story to make jokes is good, but it’s better when it’s a fun story as a whole that integrates those jokes well. I’m sure someone else probably could’ve taken the idea and written a shorter story that was purely on the jokes and come out with something good. But for me, I think it also had something to do with staying true to the nature of the source material (a joke about a ‘movie’), and weaving in a somewhat more complex plot for a more whole story.
Also, I sort of ran out of plot points to write and subtle jokes to make. Once the story hit the climax, there really wasn’t any need to stretch it out with more writing than necessary.
