glad to see this up for the contest, really looking forward to this one!
This was pretty great, lots of fun to preread for. Methinks many will enjoy it.
I thought Trixie's R63 name was 'Trickster' but that is just me. Fun read, keep it up
I don't read a lot of shipping fics. I don't read a lot of AU fics. I don't usually like stories about ponies hitting clubs and getting drunk.
Despite all that, this is one of my favorite stories I've read on fimfic. I have been trying and failing for some minutes now to articulate why. It is not at all what I usually enjoy.
I could point out technical things, like that the dialogue is great, the tone is perfect, and the prose is beautiful, but there are plenty of stories with all those elements that I don't love as much as I love this. I have to believe there is some kind of essence here that I cannot completely grasp.
There is something that struck a chord with me, that moved and engaged me deeply, and I cannot for the life of me figure out what it is.
Thanks for writing this. I love it, if that wasn't abundantly clear. It is a national tragedy that this doesn't have more views.
hello! you should have already been PMed about this, but this comment is just to record that this fic has won Third Place in the StarTrixMaud Shipping Contest!
Coyote, you've missed a golden opportunity to profit off this - a showpony like the Fantastic and Mighty Coyote could have setup the room behind the sleep-dancing roommate to turn it into a show accessed via the doorway!
Narcissists Anonymous was an excellent touch. Also, I, too, am good most of the time, Coyote. Sadly people do tend to focus on that "most" description; it's quite unfortunate.
It is a most glorious relationship. I love it; want to see more!!! ...please?
this is exactly what i expect from Coyote
haha, love this little slipup! and the concept of Coyote having to attend Narcissists Anonymous
fascinating
haha, nice to see Firelight swapped too! and the gender-swapped version of their dynamic does fit into a certain trope
ah, this is perfectly Coyote! you have a knack for writing grifting gremlin foils and exasperated "straight mares", which is perfect for the StarTrix dynamic
now this is the kind of banter i find #relatable
cultural worldbuilding! and a fun inversion of the expected
hehe
ahh, this is great!
this is so great
that's l-l-lewd!
metacommentary on how fanfic authors deal with Maud's abilities!
oh this whole exchange was so great! you really need to write more Trixie/Coyote!
ah, a bit of that Starlight Glimmer peeking out, i can just imagine it!
perfection
it really would be! i am instantly in love with these versions of the characters you laid out in such a short space of text, translating their essences perfectly to their new genders and ripped-from-real-life university setting. Trixie somehow translates especially well to Coyote, and you really have that blend of ego, deliberate ridiculousness, and wit down pat! not to mention the very deadpan and oddly perceptive Kilt, who works well here in the role of the inscrutable outside change catalyst who happens to be incredibly hot. definitely jealous of what's in store for Coyote in particular in the not-told proximate future of this tale!
