Oh, hi! Hello! How are you? I'm doing fine. All good here. Swell. Great. Awesome.
Hoo boy.
Uh, you're still here? O-Okay, well, please don't go any further. I did what I could to get out of there and warn you that if you click the link to the chapter below this description, ponies will die.
Turn away now.
Pretty please?
What do you mean there's a contest about writing short stories? Don't they know what they've encouraged?! What do you mean it's "experimental?!" I enjoy a good experiment, but this is just sick!
And there was an accomplice, too?!
Chapters (1)
Soo... Haven't read it yet, but I have an inkling about the general themes.
Imma guess once the story is finished, the characters in it cease to be, as they have no further text supporting their existence. Either that or it's a meta-narrative about how we can psychologically distance ourselves from fictional characters to absolve any feelings of guilt we might have, but by doing so it has already killed them before the story itself does.
Welp, time to find out.
FOR SCIENCE!

One of your hypotheses may be correct, but is it worth the risk to study it?

I shouted "FOR SCIENCE!", I think we all know what that implies.
Alright, I'm done reading it.
Sorry Twiggles, but if what you imply is true, then those ponies are only as real as the story itself is. The screams you heard only exist because the author figured it made for compelling stakes. And you are only as alive as we, the readers, decide you are.
I have decided you are not.
But do not fret. Perhaps the next reader will be more empathetic to your cause. Such is the struggles of appealing to a higher metaplane of existence. If some uncaring reader who see's me as a work of fiction decides I am just that, then the same would happen to me.

SCIENCE!
I honestly thought this was based on that one sesame street kids book, "There's a monster at the end of this book"

Since I never knew that, that'd be kinda hard to do. Still, there is a monster at the end, but maybe not in the same way.

Oh, it's more about the self aware fourth wall breaking formatting witht he express intention of the main character trying to tell you not to read any further.
Fifty Shades of Cake!
Sorry Twi, but I couldn't resist reading to the end. You really need to work on your persuasion skills, you know just being told to stop won't stop any determined reader.

To quote a certain potato-run, psychotic AI: you monster.
Since you told me not to read it author I promise you I haven't. Those ponies lives will not be forsaken!

Your Twilight is definitely saved. Someone who can follow instructions!
I'll be honest, that was the most in character monologue I could ever have expected to come out of a fic where Twilight breaks the fourth wall. Outstanding work! Bravo!

Thanks! Writing Twiggles is always fun, especially if it's in her awkward/slightly Twilighting moments.
