Have you met Shutterfly?
No, not Fluttershy. One's a pegasus mare with a yellow coat and pink mane whose talent is communication with animals, and the other is a pegasus mare with a pink coat and yellow mane who can print pictures on pretty much any solid surface. There's no way any reasonable pony would get the two confused, not when Shutterfly just opened up her print shop today, introducing herself to the town through a group of Special Limited-Time Offers!
That's right. She just got into town today. And she'll be leaving tonight.
Because Shutterfly's skill is for printing pictures on things. But her talent is for being really, really annoying...

A. Hello, Downvote #1!
B. *breaks into tears* You're right...
C. Ze magicks!
D. I'm sorry: did you say something? I couldn't hear you over the sound of my plummeting follower count.
Just wait 'till it burns through the fourth wall...
*faint sizzling noises*

*leans into debate mic* WRONG.
I was the upvote.
I demand a sequel. Shutterfly Gets Replaced by a Terman Shank.
Now that everyone has skipped to the next comment because of that horrible Spoonerisms, what was the picture item you paid a delivery fee for?
Discord, it's not nice to hijack Fimfiction accounts. Or authors' minds.
Still, I can't argue with the results. Well, other than the fact that I like the insistent magical terminology.
Oh.
Hmm.
I see.
This was funny
Well, now you're just parodying yourself.
You should sue.

Discord!
Forth-wall-hopping again?! Oh, wait, maybe that should be pole-vaulting...
For shame!
Using an innocent author's account to spread your engaging, fascinating and admittedly captivating story.
Who writes this stuff, seriously...
You're going to make me genuinely cry....in laughter.
Well, I'm looking forward to that Spike story
For whatever reason, this reminds me of Aragon's writing.
I'm on the fence about this.
Easily the most overly meta thing i have ever read.
For better or worse.
I flipped a coin to decide whether to upvote or down vote this.
...
BOOM.
Actually I think Shutterfly was a character in a previous generation...
...I'm pretty sure I read that somewhere. But the wiki isn't being helpful at all.
um...does the name of that company start with "H"?
Noooooooo!
I pay homage to your magic terms all the time (because I'm too dumb to come up with my own)
Yes. I now feel the need to re-label some of the books at the local library. As a public service.
I definitely will read this. Because I actually did want to ponyfy the shutterfly from all the offers I get from only buying once. Or twice. Whatever. Not like I'm that stupid to keep falling for their admittedly great deals.
I didn't listen. Why!? Why didn't I listen!?

You go vandalize any books and I will make you eat your spine.
I wonder what could Shutterfly do with the help of the CMC... She could use them for maketing, after all who could say no to their puppy eyes?
I vote Discord for mayor
I am now convinced you have some sort of storytelling-based superpower, because you've just taken not giving a fuck and elevated it to an artform.
... Actually, I like your magic terminology and would like to use it. May I?
Which means she potentially upset Saffron before being executed.
Because Em Dash. That is all.
7670448 Ba dum tish.
I feel vaguely guilty for some reason. Oh, well. It will pass. (Applause)
The "Random" tag seemed to be forgotten, which this story very much was. The absurdity of it went too far for my liking. Especially with the "director" random appearance and multiple arbitrary fourth-wall breaking, often marked by self-deprecating shots at the author.
It takes a special kind of talent to write drivel that's this good.
I give it 7.9 stars out of 5
At first it was "first the money, then you can see the picture", but later Applejack suddenly know the picture?
(If you think about it, this is probably still the least weird part of this story...)
Currently you havean about six upvote to one downvote ratio. Just saying.
Indeed. If you had, I would writing about it now.
One last thing to the author:
We should probably send you a bill for shattering our beloved forth wall.
(I case you are wondering, Pinkie Pie bought a flatrate some seasons ago; so don't use that argument)

Library books around here already have pictures on their spine: a heart for Romance, a covered wagon for Westerns, a rocket ship for Sci-fi, etc. So I'd just cover that sticker with a better one.

Well, I suppose it can't be worse than Dewey decimal.
Still proud of the pun, though.
Favorited.
That was random.
And there's my next story assuming Estee doesn't write it first.
Never used Shutterfly.
Guessing you had a bad experience.
Said experience churned out something hilarious.
One-to-twelve upvote-downvote ratio? Puh-lease.
You know, I might just have to Follow you for this...
And you said in your Rush to Judgement my suggestion was better than yours!
You lie, sirrah, you lie!
Estee? Can I have whatever it is you were smoking when you made this work of art?
oh, that made me think of this dumb video:
oh, and that part about Wanted Posters made me think of two online comics...
maybe i'll try to find the exact pages later...
"Freefall", a security guard is talking to a very stupid A.I. and says, "you don't have a self-destruct i can voice-activate, do you?" and the A.I. replies, "no, but that is the most-requested feature for my next upgrade."
the other, similar, gag is on "poisonedminds.com".
oh, another memory...
a "spider man" comic book, where Peter Parker is at an airport in Chicago, waiting for a connecting flight, and sees Doctor Doom walk past, and hears this conversation between Doom and a security guard:
"-so speaks DOCTOR DOOM!"
"how do you do that?"
"how do i do what?"
"how do you speak in all capital letters like that?"
"silence, minion!"
Was about to upvote. But then you executed the most interesting character.
Now I don't know what to do.
Gah... This has been on my list to add to AcquiredErrorAtThePrinter for so long! ... And it seems there is no such example... How very interesting...
I guess I'll need to make a RedLink, so when/if anyone wants to make the page, examples are easy to track down...
Discord for Mayor might be intentional, as a prank by him... Discord as mastermind explains the messages being so comprehensible and stuff, among other things...
Self-depreciation is usually funny, unless you delieve it, then it's sad. So, I think this is funny!
Typo:
learn your head > lean your head
I understand the need to vent, but what exactly made you think ordering from them was anything remotely approaching a good idea to begin with? Unless it was a family member or a friend, that's like watching a train wreck happen while being completely helpless to stop it.
Oh, I died so many times during this thing. This was the
worstbestI honestly can't describe itthing I've read in a long time.here's another "venting" story i found while browsing this site:
https://www.fimfiction.net/story/316324/sunset-shimmer-is-fedup
What the actual fuck is this?
Sometimes a story is so good you've just gotta downvote it.
The sheer idea of this happening is worth a laugh
! Here we go:

Ee-nope
. My life isn't ready to get ruined 
. I have a night to sleep and a day to go study. And then the next night. And the next day.
