Wildebeest

It's another casual, lazy night at Vinyl Scratch's. Everything's going fine until Octavia inadvertently sparks a heated debate over the legitimacy of Vinyl's chosen genre.

Rated teen for mild language.

.... And then sex happened? :raritywink:

And then--- nothing happened! Whatsoever! Because it was pointless!

To be a story requires a PLOT. And no, not in the fandom slang sense, either.

2019829 ...ouch.

You are kind of right, though, TBH. I think my idea for the fic sounded better in my head than it did on paper. I guess I thought it would be cool to try a purely dialogue- driven fic... you know, like a character study? I'm not sure if that's the term I'm looking for... but I can't call you wrong when you say that there's no real plot here.

So, yeah. Didn't really think this one through.

That usually happens. Ideas tend to sound a lot better I one's mind, I speak by experience :twilightblush:

I kinda liked this story. I think it felt very real. Like, how a music argument between friends would be. Have a thumbs up. :pinkiesmile:

2020007 Thanks!

And yeah, this WAS partially based on some music- related debates I've had with others IRL (and on music forums).

You don't have a story but you do have what could be the START of a story. People have been arguing the virtues of music since the invention of music; debating what is "real music" and what is "just noise." Having the two of them setting out to prove the worth of their particular type as "real music" would be a real writing and storytelling challenge.

You know what? You might be right about that. I just need to figure out how exactly I would have them go about doing that. I was kicking around the idea of Vinyl Scratch getting signed to a major record label before, so maybe I could work that into the story somehow. I'm not sure at the moment.

But yeah, I'll definitely give your suggestion some serious consideration. Thanks for the input, and more importantly, thanks for being honest!

And now, the immature angrier version. :pinkiehappy:

Hmm. Conflict resolved rather quickly. A story like this needs to be longer.

Listen to this guy. His suggestion will allow the story to have a lot more depth. As it stands, it's not that interesting.

2053829 Yeah, I'm actually in the process of planning out a longer version of this story.

Not bad. I think their fight should have lasted a bit longer, though.
