ThunderTempest


Sometimes, I mash my face against a keyboard, and stories come out. Sometimes, they're even good.

These are stories I have written from the prompts over at Thirty Minute Ponies. Although some of these will be for the earlier prompts, all stories were written within thirty minutes.

Part of me wants to see this expanded on....ALLONS-Y!

Hmm not bad thunder. I like this whole average day scene.

Well that's a cliffhanger that makes me mad

Oh shit nice mind fuck dude

I like it. It was a nice twist

Now that's a tough love circle

I love these casual everyday MLP days. They're refreshing

This seems more like a prologue then a one-shot.

3014327 It was sort of written like a prologue. Whether or not I do any more in that world is up in the air, though.

Yeah, she's overthinking things. I prefer a semi-determinist philosophy where Fate is the general term, Destiny is the heights you could potentially achieve, and Doom is the depths you could fall to. It could be said Ghandi achieved his Destiny, but Hitler fell to his Doom.

So then, when Twilight became a princess, Octy had a spontaneous joygasm?

Ooh... three letter names on the leaderboards, videogames actually keeping scores... I think you just gave me an 80's flashback!

I was not aware it was talk like a zebra today. Why must you make me weary. Horrible rhymes are what I do all the time. I hate this...

Hi, as you ask by posting your collection of short-stories in the group « I just want a comment ». Here I am. My comment is based on your entries #321, #322, #325, #326, #327.

First the idea itself of short-stories written within a thirty minutes limit is very interesting. First for you, as you can see how you’re doing under pressure; and second, for the readers who see how you’re doing when you’re creating a “sketch”. Indeed, a half-an-hour challenge gives you not much time to make editions and reread.

For you to know, I ain’t a native English speaker (I’m French D: ), therefore I’m not very entitled to point our mistakes and give advice to writers on stuff like grammar or orthography. But be sure that I haven’t noticed flaws.

entry #321
The idea is simple. Yet, it really fit well for such a short-story and it is interesting to have two points of view on the quasi-same question. And well, Lyra is one of my preferred OCs ^^. We also have to see one of Twilight’s inner questions.
It’s a good normal, average and common slice of life prompt.

entry #322

Rainbow Apple Pie!
A good one, a very good prompt. I’ve got to smile during it. It’s very good because you completely change your writing style from the precedent prompt to this one.

entry #325
This story could be the prologue to an [ADVENTURE], [DARK], whatever tale featuring Ditzy Doo. I love it. I’ve already seen that concept in other fictions (not especially pony related fiction). If you like this kind of story, go take a look to Dino Buzzati. He has some good short-stories.

entry #326
The chicken is afraid for her wings and that’s understandable. The only thing maybe wrong with that prompt is the shortness I didn’t feel suspense and “ill-at-ease” feeling as it is too short. It is due to the fact you only had thirty minutes to do it.
But I like it a lot.

entry #327
Kos Pley ^^, that’s interesting. Are they humans? D:
Well, I think it is the story I’ve the less appreciated. I don’t know why. Maybe it is because I don’t especially like Rarity. But yeah, if I keep in mind the thirty minutes challenge. You’re still impressing me with how fast and how good you can write.

PROS
- The Pros is that it is a challenge you chose to do for yourself. It’s praiseworthy. And good for you as a writer. You can enhance yourself and your writing with this ideas.
- It is well-written
- you change of writing style each prompt you do, that’s really good.

CONS
-All the cons are a consequence of the “thirty minutes challenge”, therefore I haven’t things to report as ‘cons’ for these prompts.
- The only thing that could interest you is to get an artwork, even simple. It’s marketing. Having an image on a description is an eye-catcher. With one you’ll get an increase of your ratio readers/word.
- Where are the 320 first prompts D:?

Verdict: KEEP GOING

Enjoy my comment! Please help me by giving me a comment on my story:
Beneath an Endless Dusk. It’s for the moment only a prologue for a [DARK], [ADVENTURE] story featuring a brand new universe, a twisted future where Equestria sunk into darkness and self-destruction.


3174280 Firstly, let me say thank you for taking the time to say what you liked about each story.
I will agree with you on many of the prompts that the 30-minute time limit perhaps prevents me from fully exploring whatever concept I come up with, and there are some pieces in here that I KNOW suck. (Another thing to perhaps keep in mind, and this is by no means an excuse, is that due to time zones, these stories are usually written between about 5:30 and 7 am. because that's when the prompt goes up.)

The point of doing these is to one, improve my writing speed and ability, and two, to get used to putting ideas down on virtual paper as quickly as possible, something which I have always had trouble doing.

But I'm glad that you have liked what you read.

The first 320 Prompts are coming-it's an ongoing project.:twilightsmile::twilightsmile:

Could definatly be turned into a bigger story

Well, that's an odd and unusual way to accept ponies onto the shortlist

What is she doing with the tortoise shell?

Haha, that punchline never gets old. :rainbowlaugh:

This was normal. Mundane even.
Bonbon would be devastated. :twilightsmile:

Wait, what? Where's the? I don't even! :raritydespair:

Don't scare me like that. Sheesh!

And thus started the golden reign of Queen Cocoon the levelheaded.
But 'Pupa the mad' has a nice ring to it, too. :trollestia:

3537623 oh god, Queen Cocoon the Levelheaded. that's hilarious.:rainbowlaugh:

Cool, a continuation to the story.

Gotta admit, I'd totally read that ^^; Gonna try and start commenting on every one.

A very interesting idea. I' be curious to see you do more with it.:pinkiesmile:

Dear god....twitches at terrible memories* It's okay, the giraffes no longer need trumpet lessons...

It's what all magical girl fans have secretly wanted. That and Yuri apparently.:rainbowhuh:

Not sure it's entirely fitting the drama part but still amusing. Also really not sure the purpose of the TIME things. A guess would be that's when you hit the time limit?

Good but felt a bit clunky. It sort of felt like the tension was forced somewhat and the discussion about language seemed odd as it mentioned an older incident so surely they had discussed this before.

As well there wasn't really any explanation for why 'Tavia' pulled out the notebook or what notes she took, as well as why the teacher made said remark. 'Tavia leaving also meant it felt unresolved.

*Grins and applauds* Very nice. It feels like an opening to an interesting fic.

I am always a soft touch for cool pony science ideas.:pinkiehappy:

Interesting. Poke my annoyance in that I think AJ and co should be apologizing to Trixie but you nicely summarized her change very concisely:twilightsmile:

Following the letter of the prompt if not the spirit. Still an interesting idea.

Edit: Fimfic seems to feel that I need some love from transexuals after reading this fic....I'm not sure how to feel.

Nothing wrong with that, Skyrim has things very nicely set up.

*Snerk* Less polyamoury and more master of teleporting/cloning I'd say.

Impressively moving for such a short piece.
