Who is Pinkie Pie?

An up-and-coming author in a familiar world hoping to bring smiles to her readers. She is still young and has much to learn about her chosen life of laughter...

Interesting, but the world keeps distracting me. From place names to food choices to global issues to ponies riding horses, the equine aspect feels crowbarred in for the sake of satisfying site guidelines. Don't get me wrong, this does feel like Pinkie, but she feels like part of a thin veneer of pony over an otherwise unrelated story. It's a good story with a good message, but it just doesn't feel cohesive given what you've done with it.

That's fair. The main point here was that the 'normalcy' was supposed to be jarring. You are right: it is exactly what you think it is. (EDIT: not in the sense of satisfying site guidelines, the other thing.)

Though there is a bit more going on here.

“Yu-huh!” Pinkie said with a vigorous nod. “Ponies always ask why. To that I say: BOOKS ARE FREAKIN’ AMAZING!” She let out a purposefully psychotic laugh. “For all my prose, I cannot bring myself to put my feelings into words. The sensation of worlds beyond, of ponies within the page… it is too much!” She fake swooned, leaning on her bookshelf for support.

I wish I knew people who were as passionate about reading as me, or even pinkie here. As far as I know, everybody I know closely dislikes reading, and many internet denizens are even vehemently opposed to literature in general (excluding the fimfiction folks, of course.)

I don't think it's crowbarred in (if that word means what I think it means.) It's pinkie pie, and it's meant as a sorta-prequel to a story that does involve equines. I think that definitely satisfies whatever qualification is necessary to have your story stay on the site.
(also, sorry for making 2 comments in a row in a single comment section)

Thanks to the companion stories and sequels, I now appreciate the greater context involved.

“The Presidential Race is heating up as both candidates throw insults at each other in the debate. Proponents of both parties are arguing that the other is engaging in unacceptable, rude behavior not fitting of the President, and polls are showing public opinion of both dropping to record breaking lows…”

Hilariously, this is the most unrealistic thing in this chapter, not even a pony *riding a horse* was as unbelievable as a political commenter on television talking about an election without being biased towards one of the sides. I actually laughed at how neutral it was. XD Almost as if you were trying to keep from picking a side yourself.

Heheheh.

I actually based this on a real article I read. Granted, that wasn't TV, but it was a big article. ...Though, granted, that was BBC making the article, but whatever.

Interesting to see Pinkie Pie living in a normal world.

Or at least normal except replace humans with magical talking ponies and you got it.
(still weird reading a pony riding on a horse. That's a mind screw)

Now I am kinda nervous about that list of stories. Knowing that Rainbow Dash's story is marked "[Error]" for some mysterious reason. As well as the main storyline Amber Ashes has what I presume to be her logo is damaged for some reason.

There was a city of mysterious supernatural darkness that needed to get onto the page, and making it wait wasn’t going to do her other writing any favors.

Oh, you foreshadowing illegitimate child.

She looked to the clock. 11:19. She was suddenly overwhelmed with gratitude that she was an author and, as such, didn’t have a daily routine to speak of.

Yes. That is a wonderful feeling some days. Though I have noticed it seems to perpetuate the sort of behavior that wrecks one’s circadian rhythm, it is quite lovely in the short term.
I spelled circadian right on my first try, but I followed it with rythem. Wow.

and a few times she had actually caused a disruption by walking a tad late.

by walking in a tad late

Pinkie and Hazel walked out of the church, frowns on their face.

Wow, this took a sharp turn into Not-Where-I-Expected-ville.

This one is the most sharply-detached from the set that I've read so far. Still, I have to take that it has to be connected somehow. The personality and the Pink One being...somewhat aware, tracks. The writing/writer aspect is a new angle (And of course my mind can't help but jump to "Prophet" but that's not one of the rules here I don't think). Taking what one commenter said, this almost feels like ponies "crowbarred", or shoehorned into place almost one-for-one into the normal world we currently live in. Makes me think...There's multiple levels of something going on here, but I can't quite grasp it. It's almost as if...as if the writing is a deliberate illusion of some sort - a deliberate play made out by the writer:pinkiecrazy:...
There's something hidden here. I'll just have to keep this one in the back pocket reading forward.

When she had stumbled home in the wee hour or four AM, she had flopped onto her bed. As it happened, her head had landed square on the metal railing of the bed rather than the mattress, so she had spent the entire night pressing her face into a hard, cold, unloving rim exerting pressure on her skull and, by extension, her brain.

I spent a good 10 seconds at the least groaning in empathetic pain after reading this. Owwww.:fluttershbad:

A girl can never be too sure!” Pinkie called as she ran off – not looking at where she was going. She ran right into the side of a mare riding a horse. “Ow…”

Yeah that was bizarre as heck to read.
