So TAHT'S how it all happened...
ReplyDeleteLol, 'trolls of myth'. And I love how in this she's named Abacus 'Abby'.
ReplyDeleteThis was quite well written, I really enjoyed it.
"Unforeseen Consequences"
ReplyDeletewhy can't i stop thinking about Half-Life now?
Abacus tag?
ReplyDelete*instantly reads*
Extremely well-written, although a tad unbelievable. I found it hard to read after the realization that Luna made Blue-blood be a jerk. Still, it was endearing and cute.
ReplyDeletethat was REALLY good...maybe make this into a series? it has alot of potential for sure
ReplyDeleteWell, it was quite an entertaining read. Nothing amazing, but good, quirky idea, an adorable Luna and an abacus. The writing could use some last-minute polish, especially the summarisation at the end of Luna "helping" each of the mane cast felt a little forced.
ReplyDeleteMy only other concern is that, as a whole, it feels unfinished, though, despite the [COMPLETE] tag - the abrupt ending in particular makes it seem more of a first chapter than anything.
Good work, nothing spectacular, but solid and fun. 4/5
Meh. I liked the story but I found it hard to read. Some of the sentences ran on a bit, and the vocabulary range left much to be desired. I'd read a sequel if this was improved on, however.
ReplyDeleteMore please. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you all for your comments and critiques and for taking time to tell me what you think and what could use improving.
ReplyDeleteWith regards to the "Complete" tag, that's only because it's a stand-alone story and I planned to go through with my idea for more chapters on the condition that people actually wanted more. Since that seems to be the case I'll get to work on continuing.
More!!!!!! Please :)
ReplyDeleteI can't say anything more except that good fanfics such as this have kept my interest of ponies before the second season comes along the way.
ReplyDeleteYou sir, did a good job!
Whoo! Do I get a cookie?
ReplyDeleteI loved it that the abbacus has a name. A sequel would be nice indeed.
ReplyDeleteChapter 2 is up on my dA, hopefully it'll be linked here soon as well.
ReplyDeleteI love this
ReplyDelete>Luna in a bunny suit
ReplyDeleteThis must happen.
I approve of the bunny suit.
ReplyDeleteShouldn't we change the tag to "incomplete" since this is no longer a one shot?
ReplyDeleteSince I just got my paycheck and feel like squandering it I kinda wanna commission someone to draw a picture of Luna now...
ReplyDeleteAnd if I had any control over the tags I'd fix it. I said in my email that it was an ongoing story now but I guess I'll have to pester Sethisto more.
BAHAHA! Luna called Celestia a troll, 5/5.
ReplyDeleteChapter three now appearing at dA accounts near you!
ReplyDelete*cries* Why does everyone think I have an abacus that I named? Do you know how hard it is to do trans mystic six dimensional calculations with nothing but beads on a dowel? It used to take forever using an astrolabe, abacus(it was the best thing at the time), book of tables(math tables), leyline charts and a compass mistica to work with. Now half of this is not needed.
ReplyDeletethe third part is simply hilarious, I look forward to reading more!
ReplyDeleteToday I slept in on accident. I missed the bus to work and I have a three hour shift so it's not worth bothering with. Instead? Chapter four will be done by tonight and posted by midnight my time. (10:25 AM at time of posting)
ReplyDeleteWhere is part four?!? I must have my TwiLuna/Lunar Sparkle NOW!!! I love this story and want to see how it will end. :3
ReplyDeleteI know Lunar Sparkle is probably a dumb name, but I LOVE Twilight x Luna shipping and I've never made a ship name before. xD Really, I love any shipping with Luna (I hope she'll play a huge role in Season 2... I really wanted to see more of her. Such an underused character with so much potential...), but TwiLuna and LunaDash/MoonBow (credits to Kits for the name of MoonBow as a comment on "A Rainbow Volored Shooting Star") are my favorites.
@poopnate
ReplyDeleteColored*
Damn my inability to proofread...
@poopnate
ReplyDeleteRainbow Colored Falling Stars*
Yet again, damn my inabilities...
The irony, poopnate, is that Rainbow Colored Falling Stars is written by my ex, the same person whose shenanigans have crippled my desire to write this week. It's why chapter four is so late. I've been up and down all week long and made progress, so I hope to put it all together and start the next arc with a bang. I hope you'll enjoy Luna's Best Night Ever: Luna's Laughter.
ReplyDelete@The-Symbol-Dynamic
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for Ch. 4. I hope you find your motivation soon. The story must go on!
Edit to One of my earlier posts: After seeing the Equestria Party Banner, I just realized that I've never heard of LunaTavia (or whatever Luna x Octavia would be. I don't feel like going back to the HUGE shipping chart of all names ever possible). Another Luna ship to add to my list of possible good ships. xD They look good together. Has anyone ever written a LunaTavia ShipFic?
ReplyDeleteNew chapter, bluh bluh. Enjoy!
ReplyDeletety for the update, not one of my top 5 favorite storys, BUT I want something to read, I've been sitting at this computer browsing through everything trying to find something to do, but there is always nothing...
ReplyDeletetwilight/luna shipping should be called tuna
ReplyDeleteI'm liking where this story is going :) Rather interesting that the elements are resurfacing around Luna. Maybe each one will teach her a lesson to make her happier in the end. Last one being Twilight and magic... and her heart :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for your kind words, everypony. I'm glad you're enjoying my work. I'll be sure to keep going til the story is done being told.
ReplyDeleteIt's not bad... but really, Celestia should have been more sympathetic and **amused** when she realized that Luna had been trying to help. 'Tia plays the heavy far too often for someone who's been as mild-mannered and forgiving as she has been in actual canon.
ReplyDeleteIt's really good!
ReplyDeleteLOL
ReplyDeleteCan you feel the schadenfreude?
I've only gotten into chapter two. Am I missing something or should this not have a shipping tag?
ReplyDeleteInteresting story regardless.
@Anonymous
ReplyDeleteBy two I obviously meant three.
I have only gotten done with chapter three.
@Anonymous
ReplyDelete*actually reads a fanfic with a shipping tag*
Nevermind.
"Please don't send me to the moon in the rabbit suit!"
ReplyDeleteThat, good sir, was just epic.
Terrific story! Loved the rabbit suit!
ReplyDeleteUh... in what way was this updated?
ReplyDeleteIn none... The only thing I noticed is that Luna's Laughter Part 1 turned into Part 4 of the base one. And they both link to the same thing... Seth must be trolling, on authors DA nothing changed, unless he deleted that chapter for some reason
ReplyDeleteDamn it, I saw this and got all excited for an update. Way to be a tease.
ReplyDeleteOh look, Seth removed "Luna's Laughter" section altogether now... Talk about confusing people...
ReplyDeleteRE: End of Chapter 4 - Curiouser and curiouser, I say. Looking forward to your next part!
ReplyDeleteWill you all hate me if I confess to having written a Luna X Twilight clopfic instead of finishing chapter five? I needed something to take my mind off of my frustration with the musical number that's in the next chapter and it just sorta happened on its own. On the up side, chapter five is almost done and I feel refreshed enough now to finish the damn thing so I can show it to you all. Once my editing team (see: one coffee-flavored pony who I force to put up with my shenanigans) has looked over both chapter five and The Scent of Violets they'll get put on my dA page. By the end of the weekend there'll be a new chapter ready to be submitted to ED and a saucy vignette for anypony who likes that sort of thing. If you dislike clopfiction then I apologize. I write what I feel compelled to write and I felt compelled to write something steamy. It's just how I roll. *sunglasses*
ReplyDeleteNow I can see the beginning of the second season:
ReplyDeleteA re-cap on all the thigs that went wrong, and how Luna was actually responsible for everything.
Well, everyone except Pinki Pie. She brought what she did on all by herself.
Huh, chapter 3 does not seem to load at all, whether following the link or going from your DA page. Thst said, I guess I'm not too disappointed. This is a plot I've seen before, and far better written. A number of the running gags were amusing (which abavus came first, this or Progress?), but I did find my disbelief stretched far too thinly in the first part. Plus, it's a story about Luna not doing a whole lot.
ReplyDeleteAnd then chapter 5 was up on the dA page, for anypony who actually reads these comments.
ReplyDeleteI still think Luna x Twilight should be called Moonlight.
ReplyDeleteI still think Luna x Twilight should be called Moonlight.
ReplyDeleteEnjoyable chapter, but I didn't really see the point to it all. 'Sfar as I can tell, the only thing that really happened was that Luna...absorbed (?) the Element of Laughter and Luna professed her feelings to Twilight. I'll stick around, though
ReplyDeleteHmm... interesting story. Not quite sure what to make of it yet, other than I like it so far. Keep it up! Looking forward to the next chapter. <^^>

ReplyDeleteAs I saw the words, "unforeseen consequences," a sentence came to mind:
ReplyDeleteThe right pony in the right place at the wrong time can make all the difference in the world...
Wake up, miss Luna.
Wake up and smell the cupcakes.
Title: "Story: Luna's Best Night Ever (Update Part 6!)"
ReplyDeleteLinks: "Luna's Best Night Ever Part 5
Luna's Best Night Ever Part 5 (New!)"
That's... Interesting.
BUT ANYWAY. This story is amazing, written very well, and with a great storyline. Keep writing~
Damn...this got interesting.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to more.
