Every time a unicorn and a pegasus have a foal together in Ponyville, Twilight Sparkle is under orders to be present for the birth. Most of the time, the pairing results in an Earth pony, but Princess Celestia knows that there's a slight chance something different, something SPECIAL will happen.

That day has finally come. A kind, loving couple has been blessed--or perhaps cursed--with an alicorn foal...

The approaching shitstorm, will be legendary.

Interesting concept, and good grammar! :pinkiehappy:

I can't wait to see where you go with this. :rainbowdetermined2:

912942 Don't get me wrong, I have no grievances with the story, hell the grammar, formatting, and storytelling are fine. Better than most actually. It's just the fact that it's an alicorn story with an OC generator picture. That's gonna cost the author something serious.

Oh the things I can say...but this has got to be the worst way to bring about an alicorn, and I saw two rainbows FUCKING to bring Unicorns!

The Oc alicorn isn't even ROYALTY, which all alicorns should be, because it MAKES SENSE.

I give this story my "Geon's Seal of DISAPPROVAL". BURN IT.

912918 One of these days, I will get to a story first!

You are now my arch rival. XD

The grammar is good, the characters all felt in-character, and the story itself is fine. Get's a thumbs up from me. :moustache: :twilightsmile: Not sure what all this 'Brace for impact! Shitstorm Incoming!' is about. :ajbemused: :facehoof:

912963 If you do, I'll remember to use this.

912980 It's the pony simulator cover and the alicorn concept.
Two things that drives us apeshit.

912963

Alicorns need to be royalty? :rainbowhuh:

Honestly, I am not seeing why there should be bees in bonets over alicorn stories. :unsuresweetie:

912990

I'll give you the generator cover art. That's normally a big turn-off for me. If I wasn't so bored waiting for some of my more favourite stories to update I probably wouldn't have opened this story just because of the art. But then I'd have missed out on something decently written.

And I thought people didn't mind Alicorn stories? :rainbowderp: Or is it just original character alicorn stories and Mane Six getting wings is more acceptable?

913010

Many bees in bonnets tend to be had over alicorn stories. The "loving and tolerant" fanbase is apparently very unloving and intolerant of alicorn stories.

913010 Look at the Princesses. Even Chrysalis qualifies as one.

they're all alicorns. The golden rule:

In order to make a OC alicorn work: it must be royalty.

I mean, it's a practically legendary creature.

913010

I agree. I'll never understand why people hate Alicorn OCs. A badly designed character, yes, but just for being an Alicorn, no. The story is actually a good one and I will definitely be tracking this one. Excellent first chapter.

913024

That's a shame. I was planning a story where the mane six were alicorns, and had alicorn foals, and had to escape to earth, and then had to fight Discord in an epic Disco Battle in order to rescue Elvis and the Beattles. :pinkiecrazy: :pinkiehappy:

=^.^=b

I suppose I have to agree with everyone else it doesnt very well make sense if the alicorn isn't royal :applejackunsure:

913033 Think about it like this:

There are only 3 Alicorns. Period. Unless Hasbro makes more. All 3 of them?

Royalty.

That's why. People make them out to be COMMON. Like EARTH PONIES.

It's like making a legendary pokemon, a pokemon like Mewtwo, when there's supposed to be one and one only, into millions. And they're badly colored.

See where I'm going with this?

-------------

912956 Hits the nail on the head. If the Alicorn OC was a bit more...IDK, not common? You get what I'm trying to say? These are legendary creatures, here. Not earth ponies.

Also, I hate Pony creator covers. They reek bad fic.

like that it's original :twilightsmile:

913065 He's not really making them out to be common. I mean, he did put this line in:

"Alicorns are the most powerful of all ponies," Rarity said. "The birth of an alicorn is a monumental event. In the last fifteen hundred years, only four alicorns have been born, including the foal that arrived today."

Maybe he's proposing that they're not necessarily born royal, but become royalty due to being Alicorns? He hasn't done anything bad, so why are we acting like he has?

913065

That is pokemon though. The lore for Mewtwo was that there is only one. An Alicorn doesn't have to be royalty. We only see 3 Alicorns in the show. Until they specifically say that they are the only 3 or that every Alicorn is part of the royal family it is still up for interpretation by fans. If he wants to have his Alicorn to be born to a Unicorn and a Pegasus it makes sense to me because of genetics. The chances of an Alicorn are slim to none though.

Dear writer, DO NOT let the hate get to you nor influence your story arc. If every OC alicorn is royalty, none of them are. Keep doing you, keep on truckin. :raritywink:

913065

Except that it's stated in the story that the OC Alicorn is in fact only the 4th one born in the last few thousand years, the others being Celestia, Luna, and Cadance. So they are rare, extremely so, even in the context of this story. Which actually makes a little plot hole, if they are so rare, why is Twilight required to be present for the birth of any foal with a Pegasus and Unicorn lineage? :twilightblush:

I don't think it is fair to judge a story on the basis it has an OC Alicorn, and one of those ugly eye-roll inducing generated pictures. . . Okay, maybe the later a little tiny bit. >.> ... <.<

A story written by

MythrilMoth? Shit....count me in. Let me know if you need any advice, help or ideas, I got your back....got a great feeling about this story

913104 It's because it's so...weird to see a Unicorn and an Pegasus do the nasty, and that equals Alicorn?

I can see where he comes from on this, being both ponies share the DNA required or something, but it's just..so....weird to see in action.

I'll explain why most people hate Alicorn OC's below.

913112 Fine and dandy, but to people like me? Which, btw, 98% of the fanbase share this ideal (Random percentage, but we overweight the people like you) think that an alicorn should stay just the 3. I mean, Cadence wasn't supposed to even be an alicorn. Hasbro called the shots there.

And it's not just PKMN , it happens just the same with people who think there should be more of something they shouldn't touch. They make PKMN OC's and make 'em legendary PKMN.

In this story? Not a problem, but the fact remains, that people like me are just gonna hate it, because the alicorn race shouldn't be fiddled with.

913140 Look up. that's why we hate it.

913149

I can understand that. I don't agree, but I can understand. But instead of coming in and posting negative comments off the bat you should just not bother opening the story. Not everything is going to appeal to everyone. If you know something wont be for you, then don't go there. It'd be like going to an opera and booing because you don't like opera singing.

I almost didn't bother because of the cover art. I'm glad I did read the story though as it actually isn't bad.

XiF

913104 Because alicorns are so devilishly overpowered it's just not fun to read about them. Even if they are foals.

Omg its its a grouping of my favorite concritters!!! :pinkiegasp:
HI GUYS!!! :pinkiehappy:

Very neat concept! :twilightsmile:

Tell you what author. I'm an artist, and I wouldn't mind making a new cover for you. Just give me a few days to work on it, and I'll send you a link. Nice story, favorites, and watched. :raritywink:
Keep writing. Don't let the supposedly loving and tolerant fans put you down. You got supporters, and we'll back you up to the end!:twilightsmile::eeyup::raritystarry:

913184 Understandable.

That's why I thumbed this up. the story (If I ignore the fact it's a...ugh....OC ALICORN....) is alright.

His grammar and everything else is fair, and there's no real glares.

913667

You did? I just assumed you were one of the thumbs down. :facehoof: Stupid on my part. I'm sorry.

Wow, this one got a lot of attention in a hurry! :pinkiehappy:

To address everypony's comments and concerns here:

First off, to those who are enjoying this story and awaiting more, thanks! I assure you, you won't be disappointed. :twilightsmile:

To those who didn't like this for one reason or another: I'm very sorry to hear that, but alas, you can't please everypony. :fluttershysad:

On the question of alicorns needing to be royalty: Bullshit. An alicorn can exist without being royalty, there's no rule saying they can't. Also, as has been pointed out by those who actually read the story, it's specifically noted that alicorns are INCREDIBLY rare, and Velvet Frost's birth is a HUGE event.

Regarding the cover art: I can't draw. Even if I could, I have no tablet and no scanner. So I have to make do with what I have access to, which means Pony Creator. Sorry if that's a big taboo around here; didn't realize Pony Creator was a berserk button around here. Once somepony donates a better cover (thanks, GunslingerWhiteRose! The offer is MUCH appreciated), I'll toss the PoCr image. That having been said, I think it's a LITTLE silly to overreact to PoCr cover images. Not every writer can draw. :fluttershysad:

Concerning Twilight Sparkle being present for the birth: it's purely a matter of protocol, since Celestia is aware that an alicorn COULD result from the pegasus/unicorn pairing, it's just not LIKELY to. That makes sense, right? :twilightsheepish:

Anyway, thanks to all who commented favorably and are looking forward to more of this; I'll try not to keep you in suspense too long. For those who didn't like it for whatever reason, that's too bad, but I understand. For those overreacting to it because of the OC Alicorn or the PoCr cover art: I respect your opinions, but perhaps you should've kept them to yourselves? I'm just saying. :unsuresweetie:

913692 Baaah. I never said! XD

You wouldn't have known anyway!

913695 hmmm...that right there deserves a watch. you took my criticism, and you didnt get pissed. That is respect to the fullest.

Have a watch.

And you know what? I'll fav your story too. I think I was too hard on the story anyhow.

913708
Thanks, Geon. And hopefully you'll enjoy my other stories as well. :twilightsmile:

I've been writing fanfiction for over 15 years. I've long since learned how to accept criticism gracefully. :raritywink:

913736 Awesome.

And will do. Anyways, I should PROBABLY get back to my HiE. I got BIG plans for it, and people all over my board are getting ANTSY.

That and they want my Donkey Kong/Daring Do crossover. XD

this reminds me....I need an artist! D:

913708

Took your comment to remember that I had yet to actually Fav the story. :facehoof:

913695

Nice, you're getting gift cover arts! Congrats. :twilightsmile:

913747 No worries. XD

now I need to find an artist for my stuff....damnit...It's like, Impossible.

913756

Tell me about it. I am using a screen cap from 'Read It and Weep' for one story, and just some generic fantasy arts off the net for another. I hate just using other people's art without permission and used to just not have any art. But people seem to use the art as more of a guide to read a story than the synopsis. :facehoof:

Another thing that is hard to find: editors. :twilightoops: Mine keep going off and having 'real lives', like sailing, or school/writing their own novels/stories. :twilightangry2:

I find this chapter quite humorous. Alright. I know exactly what I'm going to draw! I'll make you a cover art that will make you proud! Free of charge of course. :twilightsmile:

914969 Don't worry! If I really like a story, and it's in need of a cover art, I happily create one. Just know, I'm top of my Art Class. But tell me Dahling, do you just want the picture, or do you also want me to put the title in it? And if so, please do consider checking out my fics? You don't have to, but it's just a suggestion. Anyway, I'd better get to work! Happy writing! :raritywink::eeyup:

915521 Adding the title is fine by me.:twilightsmile:

I'll definitely make an effort to read your work ASAP. :raritywink:

Thanks again!

Poor Velvet, abandoned by her parents for three weeks. :fluttershysad: At least she has Cadance and Pinkie! Twilight is more liable to break down... :facehoof:

Yay! 'nother chapter! The picture is ahead of schedule, I just need to finish coloring in one more pony, darken up the outlines, and do a background. If I find time, it should be done by tomorrow. Anyway, happy writing!

918897 just one liiiiiiiiiiiiiittle drawback. I don't have a scanner, so I have to take a picture of it. Good news is, my camera is pretty good and takes okay pictures. So it should still come out good.:twilightsmile:

HAHAHAHAHAHA.... Holy, umm.... Hmmmm.... What the foal made rain three times that week. It's 4 am. Welp, TOTALLY WORTH THE SLEEP DEPRIVATION! :pinkiegasp::pinkiehappy::rainbowlaugh::twilightsheepish: :unsuresweetie:
