Writer of RariTwi crossovers, RariTwi almost crossovers, and weird one-shots.

It all starts at a pirate coffee shop...


An exquisite corpse is a form of collaborative art where each participant only knows about part of the whole work, and must complete their part with limited context. In this case, each writer only had access to the previous chapter, resulting in the story getting confused, yet still moving forward undeterred. The exception is me having full context when helping out the others, and Nonchalant writing two chapters here and thus having a bit more context.

Participating writers were me, Posh, Nonchalant, Seigneur / Tache bleue, TGM, kits, Cynewulf, and trAce.

That’s a pretty good title; whoever came up with it is probably very smart and sexy.

Oh, what a fantastic idea, and the authors did very well in each of their parts! How ever did you find and organize such a thing?
Kinda makes me wonder what would happen if you limited the view to the last 3-5 paragraphs of a chapter instead...

We already lose a ton of threads and context with just the previous chapter. It took me a while to realize i wasn't writing an actual EQG-setting story. I'm not sure only getting a few paragraphs would make a coherent (used loosely) narrative at all.

Of course, if we stuck to 500 words max and an overarching theme, it might be possible to get two characters to a kiss. Totally couldn't "split the party" though.

At least the pirates and Twilight's mom stayed consistent throughout, but that was about the only thing

Ah, yeah, I imagine it would be.

Good point. I guess it's very different looking at it from the perspective of someone who can see all the chapters than from someone who has to write one. Did you guys settle on anything aside from "it's raritwi" beforehand, or did each of you have to figure out that it's human AU rather than pone (though I imagine that deduction would be pretty easy)?

It’s raritwi because the server is raritwi. I don’t think that was part of any prior agreement other than that. We literally only knew what the previous chapter was. For instance, I thought it was a EG steampunk AU where Rarity was just beginning to date Twilight and then Twilight found out of about her alter ego and was caught up in a heist situation.

"Sticking out from the crowd was the woman behind the counter, whose very presence immediately made Twilight question her sexuality."

oh, this is fun :D

Immediately, Twilight began making plans to kill everyone in the cafe, and then herself.

This is one of the best things ever. :D

Or Sunset and... uh... the entire crew of the Lesbos... it doesn’t mean it’s gay, right?

Number one, yes, number two, I'd better see this fucking ship in this story or so help me

Ah, I'm glad the ruse has been forgotten and we're at the point of just assuming they're together because this is RariTwi, after all. :D

So many shenanigans. :D I love that we seem to have forgotten Twilight was ever a pirate, very good. Also love the section with Pinkie, but I of course expect kits to write good Pinkie dialogue. :)

Oh my god, we went full anthro. XD

Rainbow Dash and Pinkie followed Twilight Velvet in silence, the former because she didn’t want to get shot and the latter because she was still pretending to be an airship.

The amazing thing about this sentence is that it makes perfect sense.
