I like writing about the worst day of a character's life; it lets us see the mettle inside. (Pronouns: RB/20 )

The Cutie Mark Crusaders visit Notre Dame.

It goes basically like you expect.

Too soon, SockPuppet, too soon.

Young individual.

So, how bad is this going to be for inter-world relations?

Depends on how fast Twilight talks

... what did they do to The Pope?

I've written three different versions, but none are wacky enough. Suggestions welcome.

WAY too soon!

But even a day later, and it wouldn't have been as funny.

Thanks!

I wanted to publish it last week but the draft was WAY too rough. Frankly, I still feel like I could have done better...

Too soon... It's in reference like Burning the Wight House for Americas, the tower of London for the British, Russia's red square, or leveling a part of Canterlot Castle for the pony's. Not including the cultural historical and religious significance that the Notre Dame church has in Friends. How I would love to see Twilight try to talk her way out of this.

P.S. I dislike for personal reasons not about your righting style.

Too soon? Maybe, but you could have picked far worse than a cathedral fire where no one died, almost everything irreplaceable survived, and the damage could have been much greater. If you had to do one of these, Notre Dame was probably the best one to write about.

I agree. There are far worse to write about, such as 9/11.

A bit odd that pegasus wings are made out of paper, but otherwise amusing!

"Meet Twilight in Cologne," said Scootaloo.

Actually, Scootaloo is right here. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cologne (Yes, I was also surprised.)

Haha! Yup.

I remember when I last changed trains at Köln HBF, the German announcements said "Köln" and then the English announcements, "Cologne."

They left a pile of thinner-soaked oily rags on the dry wood floor.

Why catherdral's attic has enough oily rags for pretty big machine shop?

No, nothing is bad to write about. Words are just that. Words. The only power they have is what you give them. The many atrocities of WW1 and 2 are dark, bloody and hard to wright about. But write we must so they are never forgotten. I meet people today that don’t know what happened at Pearl Harbor on December 7 1941. Or how we ended the war in the Pacific with the destruction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Meet several people that thought Chernobyl disaster was a movie in 2012. No matter how hard or sad or however many died. It needs to be written about. Some could even argue that Hitler’s Mein Kampf is one that shouldn’t be written or read. And I would still disagree. It gives us a good basis of what kind of behavior to look out for to never let another like him gain power. All thing should be written and remembered about. Even those done in a comical fashion. Comedy helps us move on and truly see how messed up and ridiculous a subject truly is. It lets us process the information easier than we would normally, because we aren't focused on the negative feeling of the subject.{good comedy does anyway} But yes even stories making fun of events that lead up to tragedy. I get that to some, certain subjects may be to hard for them and that’s ok. But as I said nothing is bad to write about.

To lighten the mood... :applejackunsure:

Who would be Esmeralda, I wonders... :raritywink: 👨‍🎤⛪

Kosh from B5 said it best:

Dude, nice story but still dude, too soon.

Ha, I laughed. It's a small wonder they didn't go up in flames much sooner really with all the antics they were getting up to. :scootangel:

Also enjoyed the casual world building happening, all the interesting things to learn. Hope Robert made it through ok with creating that pamphlet!

Meet Twilight in Cologne," said Scootaloo.

"Köln," replied Sweetie Belle, drawing out the vowel.

"Y'all're both colons," said Apple Bloom.

:rainbowlaugh:

I always wondered how the Notre dam got caught on fire. Now I know! Its 3 little fillies and one guy that smokes!
