This story is a sequel to Comma Comma
many years have passed since the last time royal prerogative was used to ban a vital part of written language. regrettably, it has happened again. for reasons known only to her, princess celestia has banned capital letters, and this time twilight sparkle cannot turn to spike for help/blame. instead, she seeks assistance from starlight glimmer. it goes about as well as you would expect.
warning: contains intentional grammar-mauling, fourth-wall breakage, and desu.

well i suppose it could be worse a grandfather clause could have been invoked which had both rules operating at the same time with some additional fallout of course that would have been well let's just say it wouldn't have been good but since that didn't happen there's no need to worry about it thank goodness
8655331 - good point i think if that had been the case twilight would most likely have simply spontaneously combusted
instead poor starlight was left to take the fall
this is when i feared something terrible had happened.
nice work. seeing new stories published by you always gives me a new hope.
maybe i’m missing a point of humour here, given the type of story this is, but it looked to me like there should be a word between ‘accidentally’ and ‘the’?
what is celestia going to ban next? contractions or apostrophes? full stops/periods or speech marks? italics or bold? exclamation or question marks

'x accidentally the whole thing' is sort of an old humourous bad grammar meme. dunno where from though

it's something i'll need to think about if i ever decide to continue this crazy-train. speech marks weren't really standardized in english lit until the 20th century, so it would be easy to write a story using an esoteric quote style. it'd look weird, but it would be correct. the whole point of these grammar mauling fics is to be incorrect for comedy.
in my works, celestia doesn't use contractions (this will become obvious once I post two completed stories with her in them) -- or she shouldn't; if she does in fics I've already posted, then I'll need to go back and fix that.
8655896 - i appreciate the link to comma comma -- i loved writing that -- but it's already given within the story description itself, since this is a sequel. besides, that story takes place years before this one. so, celestia banned comma & semicolons, then capitalization. what next? i'll have to think about it.
BREAKING THE LAW!

You must accept Celestia's flaws Twilight, it is your desutiny.

I'm not all that kind to Twilight in my stories. Celestia gets better treatment; she only pulls out the desu hammer when she's drunk and angry. But boy does she have reason to be both sometimes.
It's because 78% of those times were your fault, Twilight.
Oh! The pain! The pain of reading this
!
At least Spike's name got capitalised at the end of his letter.

that was a mistake, i think (it's been over a year), and i appreciate you pointing it out so i could "fix" it.

!!!.. Oh, well, OK, I'm done goofing 
!
...
The PAIN! It intesifies!
But (on a sidenote) it wouldn't work in Semitic languages, as there are no capital letters. But the Germanmen would be so-o-o pissed: every noun, be it proper or not, must be capitalised
!
Wait! There is a sequel to it?! I'll check it out later!
I got to say I like your Twilight. Taking all her worst traits and increasing them, plus assuming the worst of her for everything she cannonically does that's either not fully explained or immoral. It's a fun take on the character and feel like the most accurate version of an evil Sparkle. Very similar to Mentally advanced but without the excuse or character devolpement(that existed in the first series of MA) though of course it's own version of an evil Twilight. Many props for taking my favorite character and making her a monster I love to hate.
