"Only the most subtle of references." -No fanfiction writer ever

Think about things this way: I'm Some Author on this site and I just finished writing a story, and so I post it, and it goes up. And then, it immediately gets drowned by a series of stories, all by different authors, flooding the site all at the same time, but all of which have the same name, title, and short description. Next thing you know, my brand new story is pushed all the way down and off of the front page by what looks like, at a glance, a massive wave of spam. Now the chances of his story getting read and commented upon in any significant way just plummeted.

Now sure, this could have happened anyway even if y'all had different images and titles and descriptions and simply chose to all post at the same time. The difference being that then Some Author just sees a bunch of other authors posting a bunch of other stories. In this case, what you've done is basically put a face that Some Author can blame and feel spite towards.

This idea needed an outside opinion, is all I'm saying.

Wow! That's crazy! :pinkiegasp:

The dark implications of Cadence job.:pinkiecrazy:

Man, this one surprised me. I love it!

I mean, it's as much of an ambush of the reader as mine, but instead of Secret Hitler, it's Surprise Date Cadance!

You can't call foalnapping 'surprise dates', Cadance. It's against the law. :twilightoops:

When it comes to affairs of the heart, I AM the law!

This is by far the best story I've ever read.

Lol, the descriptions were fantastic and that ending.

:rainbowlaugh:

It's a shame. This is a legitimately entertaining story—I always appreciate a good bit of Mad Shipper Cadence—but the Kaleidostigma's going to chase people away from it just because they were sick of seeing a flood of the things.

I liked this one a lot. Cadence is fantastic, and it does a good job of building the suspense, and dropping hints as to what the identity of the 'demon' is before she appears.

Part of me kind of wants to see a sequel with some Twilight/Derpy shipping. Or at least Derpy trying to get Twilight in on the 'get this crazy shipper off my back' train.

Somehow, I'm only following one of the authors of this madness. I would have expected more.

The story is really good, I didn't like it.

This was an enjoyable read with some fun ideas. I liked the opening a lot. Starting in medias res immediately creates suspense and, since we dont’ know all the facts, mystery. However, I kind of struggled with the story’s tone shift. The tone started tense and serious, so jumping to crazy Cadence left me confused. It might have helped if the opening was more comedic.

Lastly, the German lines were funny, and I liked that it all translated easily in Google translate. Not sure if this you put a lot of effort into making them easy to translate for us monolingual dullards, or if it means the robots are one step closer to overthrowing us, but it was a good, surprising touch.

Really enjoyed this one. The imagery at the start was very evocative, and the references to whatever Derpy had done were just enough to get me interested, only to have the tone take a complete one-eighty with the reveal.

Finally, the princes spoke.

(One minor typo)

Nice! Some very strong prose here; really liked the tone being set.

Other than that, 9969429 did a very very good job of summing up my other thoughts. Definitely a strong contender.

If the princess does it, then it's not a crime.

Hilarious. XD

Hello! Have a review. With one exception I really rather liked this. The identity of the demon was both fitting and amusing, and it's always nice to see Derpy used interestingly in a story. That exception? I wasn't a fan of the extensive untranslated German, especially using that for the last line. Probably a YMMV issue, judging by the other comments here. Thanks for writing it!
