The day had finally come. The immortals of Equestria, Celestia, Luna, Chrysalis, and Discord, had finally graduated from high school. And where do they go? Why, the most prestigious college of magic in the entire multiverse: Ravnica Polytechnical! One problem arises, however; roommates are assigned by major.
-------
This takes place in the Ravnica plane from Magic: the Gathering, but that is mostly irrelevant for now. Rated Teen to be safe.
Image is "Leave Her Alone" by sophiecabra. It was the best thing I found with all four of the Immortals in one picture. I will change it if I can find one that just has Cthulhu and Discord in it.
NOTICE (9/26/2013): I am opening up Discord and Cthulhu: College Roommates to guest chapters and prompts. Each chapter should show the characters dealing with university life. PM me if you're interested.
1858859 Aww shit man, really? Women's shorts for only 15$?
Please go off yourself and take the shitty company bot advertising with you.
1858881 Deleted the bot's comment. Do you have any comments on the chapter?
1858925 Naw man. But I have to say, the concept intrigues me. I mean, Discord and Cthulhu as roommates... Dear god man we're all screwed.
1858940 Yeah. This came to me in a random bit of troll logic I had with a friend, where I said that "Discord and Cthulhu must know each other because they were roommates in college, seeing as they both majored in Chaos Theory."
Psst! Author!
Import from gDocs pulls in comments too. Be careful!
Tentative watch.
1858997 oops.
Hermaeus Mora should be the college librarian.
Ok, anypony who wants to suggest a deity to be included in the fic, just give the name, major, and origin (ex Ra, Solar Metaphysics, Egyptian Pantheon)
I am counting the planeswalkers from Magic as deities, as well as a select few others like Niv Mizzet.
I tremble in fear to see the Chaos Theory teacher...
Keep on the good work man!
1861023 Well, how about this guy? wizards.com/mtg/images/daily/stf/stf88_emrakulConcept.jpg
Slenderman/slendermane, Chaos Theory, And the origin is eithe a meme or dreamt up from the darkest of minds
Wait, do the Forerunners from Halo count?
1861256
Yes, I guess that a god of destruction would be a nice cioice
1861997 I suppose so. I have a blog post with a form for various deities/immortals now.
1861987 Don't make me cum, its not a good idea
1861256 who the fack is dis guy
Sheogorath should be a chaos teacher or a student who is good with chaos
1864018 See This blog post for all suggestions.
1864016 Emrakul. A being of ultimate destruction.
1859256 I agree go to his page and then go to his blog and post it
Uhhhh so much frustration I can't come up with any more Ideas fffffuuuu i,m so mad right now i could scream
ahhhhhhhh 
yay
1864554 These are very good already. I have just a few points, and remember: just because Discord and Cthulhu are the only freshmen majoring in Chaos Theory, it doesn't mean that they are the only ones in the school.
1866846 I could have swore I put some in there with chaos theory hmm oh and fenrisulphur is a literal wolf so is his sister liuva
GOOD MORNING I AM HERE FROM THE AUTHORS HELPING AUTHORS GROUP AND I DECIDED TO REVIEW YOUR STORY YAY
Name of Story: Discord and Cthulhu, College Roommates.
Grammar score: 7/10.
Pros:
Your idea is brilliant.
Luna. Just Luna.
You're doing a good job of making them stay in character.
Cons:
Your paragraphs are a bit short.
You should try to work on not 'rushing' through your story. Make it flow, but not too fast.
Try and give a little more background and description.
Notes:
This could be a really great fic, and you seem to know what you're doing, but it would help if you paced yourself a little. Give a little more description, make me feel like I'm actually there.
Hello there, this review is brought to you by the Authors Helping Authors group!
[~]Discord and Cthulhu, College Roommates.
Grammar score: 8/10.
Pros:
-Nice starting point to go off of; I really like the idea of an academy for Gods
-All characters seem in character for the most part
-No real grammatical issues that really ruin the story
Cons:
-Just be cautious about working with Gods and such (AKA who's more OP than the other; make sure there's balance!)
-Nothing else really wrong other than that warning moving forward (maybe some capitalization errors I saw)
Notes: So I'm not knowledgeable about Magic: The Gathering, so I didn't get that many references. But, I'm sure other people will and just make sure you have your facts straight so people don't assault you with being wrong. Like I said, the idea for having a school for Gods seems very fun and different. You can definitely do a lot with this and I hope you succeed.
If this review was helpful then I am happy, if not...well...never mind. If you have the time, please check out my story, One Shot, One Chance, when you have the time. I'd greatly appreciate any feedback you would have. Thanks in advance

1907066 Thank you for the review. I'm now considering reworking and expanding this chapter before continuing the next one. This will probably include mention of a sort of magic dampener system to force an upper limit to all of the students' powers, except for approved areas and activities.
Right now, I'm not considering making the backstories of the MtG planes very important, so the only thing to worry about is what the MtG characters look like and what sort of magic they can do. Most of the characters won't be from MtG except for the teachers, so don't worry!
1916514 Thanks!
1861997 Yes.
Discord and Cthulhu, College Roommates.
Grammar score: 8/10.
Pros: Idea is original and funny.
Characters in in character.
Cons: Paragraphs are short.
More descriptions.
Pacing seems to be off slightly
Notes:
This, I reckon, will become very popular. If you can fix the mistakes pointed out by me and other commenters then this story will become awesome.
Name of Story: Discord and Cthulhu, College Roommates.
Grammar score: 7/10.
Pros: Your idea is great and original
Characters are in character.
Cons: Short paragraphs. It would help if they were a bit longer.
It needs more descriptions.
Notes: This is a great idea but it's being dragged down by the cons mentioned by me and other members. This story has great potential and I shall be following this very closely.
1941949>>1942006 Working on a rewrite which will add more description, exposition, and change the 'meeting Cthulhu' scene.
i saw what you did there. Mega Mind FTW
Just so everyone knows, it isn't dead.
still isn't dead.
On behalf of Authors Helping Authors,
Name of Story: Discord and Cthulhu, College Roommates.
Grammar score: 8/10.
Pros: I love your premise.
The dialogue was very well written.
Discord's acts of chaos were entertaining.
Cons: I think a little bit of physical description would have helped with the college in particular.
I don't think Cthulu yelling in all caps was necessary to convey his volume.
Notes: It has a wonderful premise. For the most part I love your conservation of detail, but I think having a physical description of the college would be helpful.
Discord: Izzet
Celestia: Azorius
Luna: Dimir
Cadance: Selesnya
3262116 I honestly wasn't even considering putting them in guilds, but that's a very good idea! It'll definitely have to come later, though, since it's their first year. They could join as an extracurricular, though.
Why do these forms have to be this unnecessary? My favorite part is having to put the name, as if the reader forgot what he was reading on the way down here.
This review is brought to you on behalf of the group: Authors Helping Authors
Name of Story: Discord and Cthulhu: College Roommates
Grammar score out of 10: 8
Pros:
The characters have a believable chemistry.
Comedy is simplistic but not boring.
The story is actually interesting if nothing else.
Cons:
Not random enough to really warrant the "Random" tag. If you're gonna do it, go all out.
Flow is bizarre. It goes by too fast that the beginnings of some scenes don't imprint as I needed to spend it trying to figure out where the story is now.
Introducing too many different characters in too short a span of time. You need to work slowly and pace out the character introductions. This just means that I think Cthulhu should have came in later instead of bringing him in right away. The rest are... meh.
Notes Section:
I enjoyed myself and aside from some really weird choices that I really couldn't list as cons, (like why Faust hadn't finished the world before sticking a high school on it.) This story is good and I look forward to see how it goes.
Enjoy your review! Please help me out by looking at my story: The Storm is Here!
Cool to chaotic beings one of a race as old as time itself and one born of chaotic beings or cheese cheese is chaotic

Name of Story: Discord and Cthulhu, College Roommates.
Grammar score: 8/10.
Pros:
Excellent concept, love the idea.
For a short, it was rather well done and kept my interest.
The characterization was well done, as was the byplay between the characters.
Cons:
Needs bit more description of location and surroundings, perhaps not as lengthy as a Lovecraft narrative, but just enough for the reader to picture where the story is taking place (both locations may not be familiar to the reader. The high school, because it's a original concept. The college and surrounding lands, because they may not be familiar with current CTG:CCG).
I love the concept and look forward to a more fleshed out completed story. I want to follow the story fully down the rabbit hole. I was drawn to your story because the thought of combining lovecraft's works and the lore of MLP: FIM was intriguing to me. Unfortunately I haven't played or kept up with CTG since college, so I don't get the MAGIC references. As I mentioned a description of the Ravnica realm and the Polytechnical Institute would be welcomed. If this was helpful please let me know your thoughts on my story Innocence Lost And Found.
Interesting idea, would like to see more but story has been dead for almost 11 years.
