Night watch to day watch and back again, make up your mind mare!
At least she's giving her squad mate some extra time to herself...
Ah they bonded, that is cute. I can't wait and see how things goes when we return to Anon perspective.
I do hope the gold digging attitude is dealt with
I'm just waiting for the ear-scratches to start.
Love it. I did cheat a little and read some of the green text version, but I am definitely enjoying the fully vetted format!
Question: Is this a romance between the guardsmares and Anonymous?
I don't know where this story is going, but the meandering pace is growing on me. Here we are on chapter six and there are still no strong signals about where it's eventually headed. I started this assuming it would have a harem outcome, but the way it's going it seems entirely plausible that this story might contain nothing more than comedic innuendo and misunderstandings.
And that's turning out to be entirely ok.
We're getting to know the characters. The pace is working.
Man, I'm loving this story so far keep up the good work!
I like how each chapter is formatted to be about one character, it makes it easier to keep track of whose who and what voices they have in my head. I don't know why, but despite watching a lot of tv shows, my mind always chooses one of the Mane 6 or Luna to act as a woman's voice in a story.

I'm up to the third greentext doc. Over 15,000 lines of text and it is only their second week. At that pace, several chapters are a single day in the format on fimfiction.
No chapter from the Lt's perspective?
10492909
Alright. Thank you for letting me know
Martingale-Locksteed...I like it

The only one who seems not to get a perspective is Anon.
10492909

Damn That mare has plans
I wonder what area Anon specialty is? Ingenieur but Civilian or military ?
Construction, theory and development?
Wait... Isnt that a years to come gig? Sounds like she is only planning to stay as long as she absolutly need to...
I wonder how the Specialty of the Guard will effect there service around Anon.

Now I could make a comment about how you said my own dragon story was just a retailing of the movie, when you are doing the almost the same the thing with this story.
But I'm not spiteful, and no I'm not being sarcastic.
I'm actually proud that your first story is a hit and hope that you continue to succeed in making great content for your readers. Please keep up the good work and never let any negative comments effect your writing. So long as your writing for the fun and joy of it you will never lose.

I'm a fan co-authoring this port of TheManFromAnotherTime's story to Fimfiction with his substantial help. This is the man the myth, the legend himself.
10492129
Unpopular opinion, but I'm ok with the attitude for the time being since its a quirk, and will provide some great character development. To see this mare transform from a social climber to perhaps a decent pony will be fun to read.

Just to reiterate: I'm TheManFromAnotherTime, and I wrote (and am still writing) the original story on 4chan's /mlp/ board in the Royal Guard Mare general thread as a 2nd-person "greentext". Bobbles the listed author here is the one editing/adapting the original text into a traditional 3rd-person narrative and posting it on FIMFiction, with my permission and endorsement and even a little help.
i'm really enjoying this story!
Re-reading from the start... Some fine forshadowing hidden. Well done !
10492129
I personally do not see a problem. It's a charming part of the character, at the very least it is clearly obvious she can do her job and does it well.
So, no one's brought it up, but from the Equestrian perspective, Buckingham Palace basically means Pig Fucker Palace. I cannot unsee that. A pox upon your house.

Are you familiar with certain names of places around the world?
You'd be surprised what they were able to get away with back in the old days. I'm sure there is a town for every curse word.
10528978
I suppose I'm not familiar with the places you're referencing. I'd be surprised if there were towns whose names were literally curses, but slang or double entendre?
10529855
Here's an example
10545406
Except in Austrian it's NOT a swear, so it's not at all a curse word (for them). A quick bit of digging points to the town being named after a 6th century nobleman by the name of "Focko." It was his fief. I suppose it is rather like the Buckingham example, but I don't think that's what ArcherStern was implying.

10546536
They just changed their name to "Fugging".
Because of all of the rowdy, vandalising, and generally undesirable tourists who came to the town specifically because the town was called "Fucking".
10558171
Speaking of undesirable, guess what happened to the Washington Redskins.
10642032
That was basically inevitable, and I saw it coming years ago. Also it was for the opposite problem: Respectable people refusing to associate with a name that is seen as uncouth and a racial slur; in 2013, Emory University researchers conducted a study that found that racist team names had negative effects on team revenues (but that live animals increased them).
10545406
I will say more, you can offend the population of an entire country with one word
Never have i been more disappointed in a story.
I was enjoying this until I got the misfortune of learning that Anon is....Br*tish
/j
But tbh, his way of speaking while proper erks me due to my dislike of rich and stuck up type people. Reminds me of them to verbose your words.
I do like the difference in personalities though.
I'm curious about the 4th mare in the stories thumbnail when there's only 3 that we've seen so far.
10492114
Indeed... But so is life, it changes from one day to another sometimes...
10492129
Meh... As long everyone gets what they want

10492138
Yesss... I lice that part
10492669
A bit soon to ask... Or is it? DUN DUUN DUUUN
10492721
I love Harems. Why? They are typicaly so colorful in variation. For example:
Earthpony
Pegasus
Unicorn
Thestral
Griffon
Hypogriffin
Etc etc etc...
I am positively surprise to see that Anon is no American Yankee, but rather British Tommy. This is quite a refreshment for me, most in most of the stories I saw Anon is typical American
11563829
.... I must run in some weird circles because as a NE American, barring the fancy clothes this is how people talked in an official, yet not official capacity.
And most English folk were polite, but when asked to speak freely, WHOOOOOF. Talk about verbal creativity!
(Seriously, I was never so full of mirth and happiness, AND insulted on behalf if whoever it was they were talking to at the same time!)
11563829
Anon is not British, though that is only hinted at later in the story. However, I am Canadian, and I wrote him to speak in a fairly "upper-class", "formal", vaguely "mid-Atlantic" style, at least at this point in the story, and in this company.
(Also, the original greentext story uses Canadian English spelling as well, but Bobbles converts that to US English for posting here; colour->color etc.)
This chapter makes my anticipation of the fun to come skyrocket 👍

Wait so Canadian English = British English? 🤯
