Ghostly Glow


E

Lucky Roll has never been lucky. Ever. His father beats him, his brother generally ignores him, his mom is dead, and he has no friends. Fortunately, that last bit changes. But only for a while. Good things never last, and with that streak of lightning, the world he made with her died. But maybe this was for the best after all.

I'm really proud of how this is turning out! :pinkiehappy:
In case you can't tell, Lucky and his band are a ponified version of the Gorillaz. I love that band! :twilightsmile:
So you know the drill, rate and review, please!

Oh, and the art is from auis-isme, y'know, the gal who does creepy ponies.

Gorillaz... why is that familiar. *thinks of a well-known song by them*

Feel Good Inc.

Bleh, is that like the only song I can name? I am disappointed in myself.

Following so I can read it later when I get time.

1119278
It's okay, that's their best song, I think. :pinkiesmile:
And one dislike already?! :twilightoops: Discord.... :twilightangry2:

1119312

Obviously a troll. That, or he/she was a fast reader like me.

1119317
Well, it's in the sad category, I've heard of people automatically disliking it because of that.
I really hope people like it, I spent a lot of time on it... :fluttershysad:

So, these are the two chapters you were talking about.

1119327

Trust me, just get a good proof-reader, write to please yourself (don't force good writing), and accept constructive criticism. Haters and trolls? Send them to the moon! :trollestia:

Anyway, at least you upload your stuff. I go and write a few thousand words, and then I don't go through with it. I ask myself, 'is it too sophisticated? Too unbelievable? Too down to earth? Too cliche?' and other issues that it might have, before deciding to not give it a shot. Self-esteem is at an all-time low xD.

Grammar? Great. Ideas? Plentiful and abundant. Good story? Probably. Self-esteem? Nil.

1119365
Oh, I'm not TOO worried. My other story is doing fairly well, and I got a great group. I just told them about this. Hopefully, they'll like it, otherwise I'm not too sure how this will go down.
And as for trolls..... Suddenly, I want cupcakes. :pinkiecrazy:

I'm liking this story. Keep em coming.

Here is a like, a fave, and a spike :moustache:

1119489

But what's with all the dislikes? Its really good and the Gorillaz reference made it SO much better :pinkiehappy:

1119533
I think the dislikes are because people don't really like sad stories.
But they need not worry, it'll have a semi-happy ending.
Also, glad to see a Gorillaz fan. Hail Santa! :rainbowlaugh:

1119592

Yup. But I'm sorta glad that they got back together again. When Damon Albarn started to say that another Gorillaz colab wasn't conceivable in the future, my heart almost gave out.

1119676
Wait... After phase three? Or phase two?

1119695

After phase 3. He said it after they made "Do Ya Thang"

1119712
So...there will be a phase 4? :raritystarry:

1119754
OH THANK THE GODS!!!!!:pinkiehappy::rainbowlaugh::raritystarry::yay::twilightsmile::trollestia:

1121499

Is should've used the TF2 medic D:

I HAVE NO IDEAAAAAAAAA.

1121499 I'mgetting antsy and wanting to see what happens next... :flutterrage:

1158579
Tomorrow. It shall continue tomorrow. :pinkiecrazy:
And tell me, Suke...did the first chapter with Lucky remind you of anything?

Plastic... erm.... whatever it's called? Beach?

1161412
Nope. KONG Studios. You were close. Noodle isn't around in Plastic Beach, remember? Neither is Russell.

1162024 I don't know everything sadly. I would love to but, meh, not a super-computer. I am currently listening to Gorillaz while writing the torment of trollestia so you know. Had a brief break with 19-2000 blaring through my speakers into the garden, hanging up washing in the Sun of all things... IN BRITAIN!

You gotta admit, we brits know how to make music fit any atmosphere

1162050
Indeed. Though I was quite dissapontied that my favorite band got no screentime in the Olympics. Ah well.

1162072
Wait... It's sunny in Britain? OH NO!!! THE APOCALYPSE IS UPON US!!!! :pinkiegasp:

1162072 Dunno why. Maybe 'cause they're still not together again yet? The fact they would need screens to project the band members?

1162093
Mayhapse...really hope they get back together. :fluttershysad:

1162102 Thought I saw someone else here say they were soon. For phase 4 and whatnot

1162083 'Twas right sunny during Olympics. Beautifully so.

DAWWWWWWW

You made my shit day become one the best days of this week:scootangel:

1162024

Well except for the Melancholy Hill music video.....:derpytongue2:

1209042
You just watched it? Or are you watching it again?

1209084

What? Dude that music video came out like a year ago XD

1209102
I know but...okay, never mind. Now you're just confusing me.

Ok, you got me interested on this one. :pinkiehappy:

Am I going to need to know things about Gorillaz to understand future chapters?

1242852 Nope, it's just a nice little add-in.

So now, everything's going to hell.

Does this mean that you will change the Rate to "Teen"?

1805175
Eh, maybe. Would the destruction of a city fit for a teen rating?

1805206 I'd say it depends on how you write it. If you're going to describe in full detail how ponies die and lose their homes and loved ones... maybe. It depends on how much blood you're gonna show.

Although perhaps I'm not the most adequate to talk about it :twilightblush: I have two stories rated as Teen, and maybe it wasn't neccessary.

Ultimately, it's up to you.
