YES

FEED ME ALL OF YOUR BABS

Nice little one-shot sort of outlining what happened prior to the episode.

Could've expanded a bit on the conversation, but that's a stylistic choice, and the route you took did just fine.

Overall, not a bad fic!

I guess Applejack thought Babs would feel better if she could see that other fillies had the same problem with bulllies, guess it could've gone better. :eeyup:

I didn't want to make it too boring tis all, and the challenge was 1000 so once I hit that it was simply to finish it up. That is to say: I am not very good at 'normal' converstaions.

:trollestia:

Good point. When you're on a word limit, you have to have a bit more action....ish...you know what I'm sayin :ajbemused:
Still, great job.

1682053
It was more a word limit then minimum, but the scene didn't have any real action in it to make it a rollercoaster so I just aimed for a slight comedy. I am not good at 'two characters just talking like normal with nothing important whatsoever happeing' I'm not sure how to explain it better then that. But if I need to, I can extend a scene easy, I just chose not too because it makes me, the writer, lose interest and if I lose interest the story stops writing itself.
Did you laugh at anything? I tried to make it slightly comedic, but I often fail.

1682094

No doubt, some laughs were had. What you did well that I wanted more of was the contrast between the two styles of living and how sometimes they clashed made for funny moments. I loved how you did it. Do that more.

1682114
Really? Psh all I did was picture applejack when she was sitting at the table with aunt and uncle orange during that cutie mark flashback and add words.
:heart: I'm glad you like it, thak makes it worth writing.

I could always do another phone call between the two, maybe when something else comes to mind.

We NEED more Babs Seed!!!!:flutterrage::flutterrage:

1682196
Screw Babs

:ajsmug:

1682822
I don't get the reference, but I lol'd anyway. :pinkiecrazy:

1682714

You know, I'm kinda bored so imma write that story ya mentioned earlier.
However, I'm getting the urge do be a verry horrible Author and Babs is going to be worse off once I am done writing this one shot of her life being absolutely ruined. :pinkiecrazy: :trollestia: :flutterrage:
Aka: I feel like writing a little horror.

1682833
Trixe, as you mentioned, is a b***h,
In this picture, He slapped a b***h.

i liked it but I thought you could have make it more detail. Just because its a one shot doesn't mean it cant be detail. just my thoughts.:twilightsheepish:

1683362
OOH I see, you were slapping trixie-aka teasing me for liking Trixie cause she's a bi***
:rainbowhuh::rainbowlaugh:
HAHHA nice try sherlock, you can't keep a wolf down long. :trixieshiftright::trollestia:

Trying to keep swear outta the comment cause this is for everyone after all :scootangel:

1683375
Gotcha, just not very good at the 'details' aspect of writing Xd

Hm... I like Babs' character design, yes, but like many, my one hang-up is that the filly did not think "strength in numbers" when cornered by mini-bitches one and two. Oh, sure, judgement reserved due to fandom, but as InsertAuthorHere stated in a blog, Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon went from their usual opportunistic bullying -with even Silver Spoon liking Granny's founding story- to openly hostile... Flanderization, folks. Still, this shift almost makes sense when one considers how little has actually been done, onscreen, at least, to curb the bullying these two pile on to the CMC.

Where was I? Oh, yes, on Babs Seed. Well... she's a child. Children do not often make good decisions. Let's think about this story-wise as well. If she had been with the CMC throughout the episode, I'm sure many of the fandom would have dismissed her in much the same way Shining and Cadance were dismissed prior to episode airing. You know, calling her a Mary-sue and so forth. Who knows? Personally, I did enjoy the episode...

1686939
I enjoyed it too, however my lifetime of experiences with bullying has left me with a very sour note when I see an episode like this one. It's best I don't go into detail, but while I enjoyed the episode, in real life the moral wouldn't work. But then again, I'm a crazy bi**h so it comes with the territory.

All in all, I enjoyed the episode more than the first three, I'm supprised myself but it is true. I enjoyed Pinkies more then the first two, and even though Pinkie's eps are always fun I guess it felt rushed? hmmm

Ignoring the morals, I didn't really get into the episode until the song started, damn catchy tune. The selling point was :pinkiegasp: 'SALAD!'
Oh and Golden Sweetiebelle, I wonder if people will make that into a trophy.
Honestly, Pinkie stole the show for me.
Now there is one last thing I wish to know, HOW LONG DO THE FREAKING WRITERS PLAN TO KEEP THEM BLANK
I get it, they're semi main charries
But they're not that dumb! :facehoof:
Or are they...:rainbowhuh:

1687000

I think the writers are just sticking to formula, in terms of them staying blank.
:unsuresweetie: Hm... For me, a low-point was, well, Applejack's plot-induced obliviousness. Even without telling her, there were sure to be signs of the influx of bullying -and likely physical injuries suffered- to the CMC. Heck, maybe even Big Mac could have noticed. There was a missed opportunity for a 'if you see someone else being bullied, tell someone' cliche. :rainbowlaugh:

Very interesting story. So Applejack's idea was show Babs she wasn't alone, prtty much?

1695127
Well actually, she's just beeing Trollajack

1682245
Yeah! At least Babs had a redemption to show she wasn't a b!%ch! And with all of the Crystal Empire and Too Many Pinkies fanfics, you'd think a brand new character, who at episode's end said she was starting a Manehattan branch of CMC's, and with a solid backstory, would have fanfic writers would be all over her! I guess they're down from their new season high.

1702099
I swear, after my current fic I am defiantly going to write a fan fic on babs seed.

‘Let's see’, she thought.

‘Here in Ponyville, we have two school-aged fillies that torment foals like that, calling them blank flanks. I know this very well, because one of the foals bullied is my little sister. It happens in school, and the teacher does nothing to stop it. Both of the bullies' parents don't do anything to stop it. And right now its summer and these fillies have neither school nor honest work to occupy their hooves.’

"Uncle, Ah have a great idea. Why don't you send Babs here for a few weeks?"
Apple Jack REALLY whant to be mean to Babs seed!:applecry:

Her grades in presentation, snobbiness, and making herself look good in the nude-er I mean art class. However her grades in fancy could use some work.
LoL!:rainbowlaugh:

This is an interesting prequel to the episode
