30 years old closet brony from the center of Europe. Just happily doing my thing in my corner of the internet.
As Twilight visits princess Celestia in Canterlot, she discovers a bookshelf with just a dozen parchments with neither bad nor good stories. She speaks about them with the princess and, one thing leading to another, Twilight finishes by publishing her own story.
But this story isn't so much about Twilight than about the world of published writers and the one of amateurs writers. And how the limit between both can be very thin.

Mah god this satire.
Happy that you enjoyed it.
Even happier when coming from someone who writes so many comedies.
Really interesting.
Just got to say, was confused when the colt said he has a job and such. You would be better to use Stallion then since a lot associate "colt" with kids like Pipsqueak, Snips and Snails.
Guess that Foster is some "spirit of creativity" or some such thing huh that did the same with Celestia. (but have to say it would be very different her being a princess and doubt they would dare tell her to change anything that she writes)
Im sure they exchanged names at the start of the conversation, but dont see the significance of keeping it from us until almost the end then. But then again im sure its some reference that i just dont get.
Good... but... never-mind.

Well, I'm not an english speaker, so I don't exactly know what a colt is, just saw it used here and there. So stallion it will be.
Foster is... a lot of things. He is supposed to be the representation of the unknown but talented artist that do what it does for fun with no ambition whatsoever. And also the artist that just hadn't been lucky enough to have the fame that goes with his talent. He is also here to remind that "good" is a very subjective concept, as Twilight loved his story, but the publisher refused it.
Finaly, Foster's name and his book's name are references to mlp fim. As I heard, the brony fandom was born from a reaction on 4chan over an article someone wrote. What if the show had just stayed in the shadow, for only the targeted audience to enjoy? Foster is in reference to the "Foster's home for imaginary friends" and, by extension Lauren Faust. I allowed me to do that because I heard Lauren Faust say (in an interview) that she thought Hasbro would make the show bad and that she would have to go away because she didn't want to do something bad. And my pony also didn't wanted to make modifications or even lie to sell his story.
The ending with Celestia was... well, kind of a joke. Twilight was so sure she had finally a book Celestia didn't possessed, I wanted to prove her wrong. And yes, that does make Foster kind of a spirit of creativity. But isn't that what Lauren Faust has become when we see all the art (I mean, real art, no the lousy things I do) that has emerged from her vision?
I'm getting way out of my league.
ps: and me that wanted to do a season 1 doctor who crossover... oh life, why do you have to be so ironic.
Good... but... never-mind.
Well, i do mind, but if you want to keep it to yourself, that's okay with me. I just hope you enjoyed the story a little bit. (I've wasted some poeple's time before, and I fear I might do it again).
