When Sky Stinger is captured by an unlikely foe, it's up to Vapor Trail and some of her closest friends Angel Wings and Midnight Strike to get him back. Can this group of unlikely ponies rescue Sky before it's too late? Will this story fuse into a coherent narrative by the end? Who knows, I sure don't!
This story was an Exquisite Corpse effort hosted by Lofty Withers on the Quills and Sofas Speedwriting Server.
An exquisite corpse story is a collaborative writing exercise in which a group of people try to tell a story: the catch is that each author can only read what the author before them wrote and must continue despite not knowing the entire story. This was the result.
Chapter One: The Red Parade (he sucks)
Chapter Two: TheLegendaryBillCipher
Chapter Three: Silent Whisper
Chapter Four: Zontan
Chapter Five: TheDriderPony
Chapter Six: _Moonshot (godspeed)
Chapter Seven: Lofty Withers
Chapter Eight: Shaslan
Chapter Nine: Atom Smash
Epilogue: Lofty Withers again
I'm genuinely confused. Why's Angel Wings on the cover when she isn't mentioned in the description? I apologize if I'm being nitpicky, I can be hung up on semantics sometimes.
Since I commented, I promise I'll read this at some point. ^_^
FFFFFFFFFFFFFF

Angel Wings doesn't have a character tag so she quite literally can't be tagged lol
EDIT: misread your question that's my bad. I asked the organizer what they wanted as a cover and they sent me that picture lol

Ah. That makes sense.
Well, that was…. different….
This has been remarkably coherent for an exquisite corpse, and so the sudden change of Midnight becoming a batpony really stands out. XD
Nothing like a twist that was literally never planned for. :D No better way to keep the reader from seeing it coming!
I'm less concerned with the rug pull at the end than I am the idea that Midnight seems to have undergone gender reassignment since the previous chapter. XD
I love "flipping the primary" though.
And his species switched back! Amazing chameleon work.
lolwtf XD
And thus Sky Stinger's injuries were lost. Remarkably little was lost until now.
Haha what a nonsense twist, that's great! Midnight completely forgot about the fake package plan and Sky Stinger is brought before the mysterious masked pony he never met before.
Figured that after The Smiling Mask got that name that they'd eventually turn into Pinkie. Didn't expect this prank twist though. Oh that Pinkie, what a jokester, torturing Sky like that.
Damn, what has Pinkie been doing?
Ah, kind of a shame this went for a non-ending. It was still coherent enough that a proper ending would have been straightforward. Overall, I liked this a lot. If I wasn't already, I'd definitely go for a dramatic premise for my next exquisite corpse.
