Locomotion

Vinyl Scratch, likewise known as DJ PON-3, is recognised throughout Equestria as one of the greatest musicians of her time; but few ponies know about the troubles she faced in the early part of her life. Born to a rich fabric merchant family, she was forced to suppress her interest in music for many years, until one of the textile mill workers suggested that she keep a diary in which to write about her feelings. Here is a selection of entries from her diary that tell the tale of how she first realised her music career, the challenges she faced along the way, and how fate separated her from the one pony who had come to mean more to her than anything else in the world.


Disclaimer: if there are those of you who think that the writing style in this is rather sloppy and rushed compared to my usual quality, that was pretty much intentional. I see Vinyl as the sort of pony who doesn't care too much about grammar, so any continuity errors and other mistakes are to be taken with a pinch of salt. Also, slight bit of AU due to a My Sweet Passion reference that contradicts the events of Slice of Life.

Hmm... liking this so far

Wow, her parents are real douches

So sad.... But I'm really peed off at the parents though....... You jerks.

Well, I would like it if Vinyl and Octavia end up back together. That is really all I can think of :rainbowlaugh:

But do whatever feels right to you.

Love the story so far! :twilightsmile:

7433047 Glad you like it. I do aim for those two to get back together in the future, and I'm thinking of leaving a subtle hint in the final diary entry (basically a hasty afterthought on Vinyl's part), but that's another story. But yeah, thanks for the feedback. :twilightsmile:

An awesome read, I really can't believe this story doesn't have more popularity. The flow of the story is amazing, I may be biased though because I've always partial to Vinyl, slice of life stories. Liked and tracking, thanks for making my day!

7460412 You're very welcome, and thank you as well. :twilightsmile: Might be a while yet before the next few entries see the light of day, but I'm glad to see that it's getting a reasonably good press, even if it's not had many viewers.

I'm about ready to introduce Vinyl's parents to Mr. Sledgehammer with a mighty TWACK!!! that'll end up in the history books
