Thanks everyone for your submissions!
Please move all discussion of entries to THIS POST!
Voting will begin on April 2nd, so people have time to read through everything and choose their favorite (and since tomorrow you will have a huge gap of no update time to do it! ;p)
These stories are almost full size stories, so I will probably take the top 6 or so and give them their own separate story posts.
Everything will be found AFTER the Page break!

98 comments:
So far the Pinkie in a sheet pic is my favorite picture, and most in theme with the concept IMHO. We'll see how it turns out, but that's my favorite so far art-wise. Storywise...? TIME TO READ!
ReplyDeleteHope my entry was more then confusing enough to count as random, I know it won't get too many votes what with all the other good stories here. (I'm a fast reader, also flutter-tree and it'll take me a while to figure out which story I like more)
ReplyDeleteFallout-play it, enjoy it, love it, and am soon gonna live it. Good work!
ReplyDeleteI ain't coming back to this post until I finish my story, but it's nice to have a healthy dose of competition!
ReplyDeleteNo. 14: Touche, Miss Pie. Touche.
ReplyDeleteAs the writer of The Day the Pony Stood Still, I would just like to wish everyone the best of luck!
ReplyDeleteSo far, my favorites have been numbers 8 and 10. :)
ReplyDeleteThat means... around 2-3 more hours for EU ponies I guess...
ReplyDeleteStarting reading some stories! Thoughts so far:
ReplyDelete1) The April Fools - Seems nice enough, but I'm really confused as to what this has to do with April Fools apart from the day on which it is set. Have I missed something?
2) Pink'd - I like the idea behind this one even though it eats into my tiny little mind, though it seems to go on too long after the 'punchline' is revealed.
3) Leaf-ing The Dream - Okay, this one is /amazing/! Simple concept told really well!
4) A Cryptological Conundrum - By Celestia's beard! A bit dry, it could do with less number crunching and more story, and I want to know what the code says now :(
5) Jack and Pie - I was a bit confused once the author mentioned Pinkie Pie was married to a ghost? What's this a crossover with, I think it lost me.
6) April Showers - A lot of 'D'aaaaaaaaaw' and a killer of a last line, I like it! :)
7) Rainbow Dash's *AWESOMELY RADICAL* April Foal's Prank - This one got very meta and ended up genuinely depressing me D: But in a good way! What was Rainbow Dash's prank btw, I didn't understand that bit :(
8) Twilight's Last Gleaming - This is mine, so any and all feedback is welcome! :)
9) Pony of a Different Color - Aaaaw Fluttershy :3 This one is really sweet and made me happy :)
10) April Foals - Bwahahahahaha, that was a GLORIOUS ending. GLORIOUS!
11) The Day the Pony Stood Still - Amazing. Beautiful. +1 points for the bow tie and fez!!
@Blueshift
ReplyDeleteHow can you not know the crossover? It's obviously Candle Jack and
@Blueshift
ReplyDeleteLa de daa de daa... [spoilers]Genocide[/spoilers]
@D. Shadows
ReplyDeleteI'm British, I've never heard of Candle Jack :(
@Blueshift
ReplyDeleteOh, great the ghost kidnapped my boss Darkon dude!
Anyway he actually thought ahead incase he got kidnapped and put a link in his name to the Candle... oh wait a minute dude! I'm not that stupid, but he linked to his crossover in his name dude. I'm his sub minion, nice stories here but I'm not a pony kind of demon dude.
#8 is awesome! I was all D: at the part with Apple Bloom, but the resolution was appropriate and funny. :) (don't wanna spoil anything)
ReplyDeleteI want flashfox to review all of the stories
ReplyDeleteI'll probably read the stories later, but as far as pics go I vote 1~!
ReplyDelete@Blueshift
ReplyDeleteYou see, Candle *hmm* is a ghostly figure who appears at the mere mention of his name. He moves so quickly that no one usually has the chance to finish typing their comment before he takes them out. Though he is thoughtful enough to hit the "post" button afterwards. Sort of like a calling card enticing others to say "Candlejack". Of course, it's never hap
I swear I've seen pic #2 before this contest was even announced
ReplyDeleteArgh! Must finish story!!!
ReplyDelete@Anonymous
ReplyDeleteSame here. Skipping class and writing all day to get this done. :|
@Blueshift
ReplyDeletere: story #4
Looks like SOMEpony didn't scroll all the way down...
@Anonymous - DOH, yes, I scrolled down and there it was. Feeling stupid now :(
ReplyDeleteOH GOD, PICTURE 8. WHY?
ReplyDeleteLets test my failure at reading comprehension some more shall we!
ReplyDelete12) The Bestest Pranksgiving Ever! - A nice sweet solid story about some background ponies :) Quite a few spelling mistakes stood out to me, but the line “No...it lived a full life" more than made up for that!
13) Yes I'm only doing this for the Ticket - Not sure if I understand the title, but it's a nice Rainbow/Fluttershy story. Poor Fluttershy :(
14) Pinkie Pie’s Incredible Interplanetary Super Prank - Hahahaha oh god, very meta, I loved it!
15) Lentus Sceletus - Umm... :| is my only reaction. I'm not sure I wanted to read a Twilight snuff fic :( I guess it would help if I knew what a skeleton jelly is.
I wish all those who have entered good luck! (I made pic. #4~)
ReplyDeleteHOLY SHIT, PICTURE 8 IS HARDCORE.
ReplyDeleteThe length of 18 scares me a bit, I'll probably read it at work tomorrow (dum de dum!)
ReplyDelete16) Pride Goes Before Folly - A nice sweet one
17) Mare of Misrule - I wasn't really feeling this one, thinking it would be pretty standard fare, until the end when it becomes absolutely bafflingly brilliant!
19) Messin' With Celestia - Oh goodness, that was fun, then really disturbing, then fun again! Not sure if I can buy Celestia being tricked so easily; though it is a really Pinkie Pie thing to do ;)
20) The Unexpected - Short but sweet, but oh Fluttershy how could you :( :(
21) April Foal's Day, on Ice - This one was really fun, though I think the prank at the end could have been a bit better, c'mon Pinkie! :)
Story #8 made me laugh. I can imagine Twilight going overboard with pranks. I'm not sure if she can be cruel enough to prank Applebloom like that, though, but that's probably the point.
ReplyDelete#13 here, the title comes from the episode Ticket Master. I thought it was cute and relevant when I submitted the story. I was also blitzed on cooking sherry because I had finished off my emergency vodka supply while writing the story. Sorry if it caused confusion.
ReplyDeleteYou mean I'm the only person who hears "April Fools!" and doesn't think of glorious genocide?
ReplyDeleteYou guys are weird.
@Fon Shaolin
ReplyDeleteIs it bad if i think this is funny?.....well i don't care XD
#16 here. Hope y'all enjoy, and good luck to everyone who entered! Hope mine was entertaining enough to catch your interest!
ReplyDeleteWell, I sent my entry. Hope it got in on time.
ReplyDeletepicture #8 made me lol and feel kinda scared at the same time!
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteWell, if Blueshift can post his mini-reviews, I suppose there's no reason I can't throw my two bits in as well:
ReplyDelete#1: I enjoyed it, but the ending was frustratingly vague. I like the fact that the story has a little bite to it, though.
#2: OH S--- PENTAPINKIE?!? I was seriously relieved by the ending; one Pinkie is more than enough.
#3: Dear sweet Celestia, that was adorable. Heck, I wouldn't have batted an eye if this was in an actual episode.
#4: Clearly the best of the stories. A true masterpiece of MLP fanfiction. In the interest of full disclosure, I should point out that I wrote it.
#5: Gotta love anything that references C.J. That said, this piece could stand another round or two of edits. Punctuation was particularly hit-or-miss.
#6: Wouldn't be EqD without some shipping, would it? Seriously though, I loved the first half of the fic. The actual shipping part? Cute, but not up to the level of the rest of the story.
#7: Well, I didn't see THAT coming. Heck of a mindscrew, there.
#8: That was incredibly enjoyable. I especially like seeing Twilight get a bit of comeuppance at the end.
#9: Fluttershy is always DAWW. Very nice.
#10: Oh Pinkie, you seem to be a popular pony today! Risque ponies, interesting direction to go in.
#11: Twilight's unicorn magic is milkweed compared to the power of Pinkie! Bonus points for using one of my favorite crossovers.
Well, time for dinner now. I'll be back and read the rest in an hour or two!
#20 here in the story-writing ring. I have to say that picture #10 is so hilariously cute and heart-warming.
ReplyDeleteAnd I feel the need to note that this is my first post ever on Equestria Daily! ^^ I certainly hope everyone's having fun. I can't wait to read everyone's stories!
I may also leave little mini-reviews when I find the time.
@Chris
ReplyDeleteThank goodness for penguins with infinite sword pouches... anyway was punctuation the only problem with my story? If so then holy cow, I don't really focus much on punctuation.
Also yes my previous above post leads to the episode of Freakazoid where Mr. J appears.
Harley: Mister J, where.
Not now Harley, I'll get to dooming Batman soon enough. Plus you know the Joker is on holiday to make sure the Titans keep on their toes. (everyone knows he'll win in the end, but it will still be a good evening)
#23 here! Hope you like it.. I'm still kinda new to the whole fanfiction thing.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy!
It just occured to me. But why did you guys enter the contest and since there's twice as many fan fictions then there are art works...
ReplyDeleteEveryone wants that art from Madmax, knowing very well I won't win I might as well say what I wanted to see. C.J. being led into a trap because of Pie, Pinkie to be specific. (Not saying his name again, I don't want to go there)
Lots of great fan fiction in the name of April Foals Day... and having Madmax make another comic.
I was expecting more artworks, #5, #10 and #11 are all great... plus I like Derpy.
Sorry for being so chatty and let the good pranks roll... the voting will be a nightmare.
I suspect #2 Pink'd to win in fan fiction, also I like all of them but mine. I could have done so much more but I wanted to keep my entry short and simple. (#4 over complicated it, #7 is tricky and #11 will be the main one for those Dr. Whoof fans and it's just plain silly)
Note: My predictions do not reflect everyone here at Equestria Daily and this has been a (supposedly) evil monsters idea so far in the competition.
So far, 19 was the best, just for one line.
ReplyDeletePS- I'm keeping it.
fic #3 and pic #2 here. pic #2 actually wasn't supposed to be an entry for the contest; i thought all the fics were getting their own news posts so i submitted that pic to go with my fic xD
ReplyDeleteabout to start reading through the fics now, glad to see there's a lot of competition!
also, seth: my name is twinkletail, not twinkietail. although i do quite enjoy twinkies :-P
#24, Big Dragon was great! I'd kill for that to be an actual episode!
ReplyDeleteI was just recently hoping someone would write a Spike growth spurt fic.
...okay, could someone please explain the ending to number 7 to me? I mean, it begins with Rainbow Dash prepping herself to pull the biggest prank ever, and then it gets really depressing with Pinkie Pie and Faust, and then it ends with them having a philosophical discussion on...
ReplyDeleteOh. That's genius.
@Chris
ReplyDeleteI appreciate the feedback. It's kinda my first serious attempt at shipping and I wasn't entirely happy with the results, but eh -- deadlines and all that.
@Blueshift
ReplyDelete...which is not to say I don't appreciate your feedback too, naturally!
@Anonymous
ReplyDeleteHey, thanks, anon! My goal was to restrict myself to stuff that could appear in an actual episode (so no swearing, no sexy stuff, and no nerd references that wouldn't fly in a kid's show). The "mating instincts" line was a little borderline, but I think it was subtle enough that it would slip past the network censors.
Anyway, whatever, glad you liked it. We'll see what everyone else thinks tomorrow.
Phew, managed to finish my story... and with 4 1/2 hours to spare!
ReplyDeleteNumber 17 wins. I loled so hard that everyone in the cafe was looking at me as I cried while holding my sides on the floor.
ReplyDeleteOk, I did the #4 pic. and i know that madmax will always be #1 to my taste and i love it!!! (even if it makes fun of Luna) Good work man!!!
ReplyDeleteWoo, #27! I'm glad it gone done in time-- it was fun to write!
ReplyDeleteGood luck everypony! I really liked some of the other pieces. =3
Alright, even if I love Luna, number 13 is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteback from reading. i'm tired and don't feel like doing mini-reviews for all, but while i think everyone did a fantastic job, i gotta say that (other than mine) #13 and #17 are my favorites.
ReplyDeleteWhy did you take down story 15? I thought it was hilarious... :(
ReplyDeleteContinuing on...
ReplyDelete#12: Aww, I love it when background characters get fleshed out! Coconut sounds like a real sweetie. One big beef: learn2spellcheck.
#13: Probably the most straightforward story so far: ponies pranking ponies on April Fool's Day. That's not a bad thing! The characterization was very good.
#14: I hate to admit it, but Pinkie got me. Well played, Pinkie. Well played.
#15: I have no idea what I just read. I'm going to assume it's a reference to something that I didn't get. [And now it's gone, what's going on around here?]
#16: Twilight was being magnanimous with her offer at the end. Everyone knows that using aRube Goldberg contraption gives you an automatic +10 bonus to whatever the scorekeeping method is.
#17: I did not see the end coming. Of course, I'm terrible at guessing endings, but that's neither here nor there. Very interesting take on an ancient Roman tradition!
#18: Great gravy, that was long! Absolutely worth reading, though. Probably the most intricate prank I've encountered today.
#19: OH GOD. I laughed out loud (not just loled) the entire way through this one. Probably the funniest thing I've read all day!
#20: Another adorable Fluttershy story. I'm getting far more than my daily recommended dose of DAWW tonight.
I've got some chores to do before bed, but no work tomorrow. I'll probably do at least few more tonight, once I have time.
#12 Here. Yay for stories. Yay for sandwiches. There are some clever ponies out there. All the stories I've read have had some memorable moments. Contests like this are fun. Keep up the good work everyone!
ReplyDeleteI looked at picture #15 and then my head exploded from the sheer MOTHERFUCKING AWESOMENESS OF RAINBOW DASH.
ReplyDeleteHow am I typing this with no head? Because THE GODDAMN RAINBOW DASH ANIMATED MY CORPSE AND MADE ME DO IT. AND I FUCKING LOVED IT! IN FACT, MY HEAD JUST EXPLODED AGAIN FROM THE SHEER AWESOMENESS OF THE SITUATION.
That's right bitches, RAINBOW DASH made my head explode TWICE and then stole my soul and made it into her rape-toy for all eternity. AND I AM GODDAMN ECSTATIC ABOUT IT!
Holy mother of mares, I have how long to read all these before I have to vote?!
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDelete@Anonymous
ReplyDeleteAbout 26 hours until the start of voting, I believe.
A Derpy fic... how on earth am I supposed to compete with THAT? It's like cute baby vids on AFHV. :D
ReplyDeleteNumber 19 made me sneeze, my brain must be miswired.
ReplyDeleteI also want to give a special bro hoof to Blueshift and Chris. Your efforts of reading through and reviewing all the stories makes me and all other authors happy. I just wish I knew what all these spelling errors I keep making were.
ReplyDelete14: Celestia dammit Pinkie......
ReplyDelete14: Snakes... why does it always have to be snakes?
ReplyDeleteDid anyone else get confused by fic #29? That grim-dark one? I'm not usually one to read the genre, but what exactly was the joke?
ReplyDeleteWas it Twilight's decent into madness, or was it the reveal at the end of what her life was really like? Other then that, I could help but get the feeling that it was slapped together at the last minute. @_@
The others, so far, have been enjoyable. Great work.
Is it true that if we don't win we get sent to Pony Hell? Because I don't want to be sent to Pony Hell, I don't want that at all.
ReplyDeleteAwww, April Showers is adorable!
ReplyDelete@LordOfTheWrongs: If you aren't totally happy with it, even if the contest is over please do keep at it, because it's really good.
ReplyDeleteI am simultaneously ecstatic that I finally wrote a fic and horrified that holyshitpeopleareactuallyreadingsomethingIwrote.
ReplyDeleteGood luck to everyone. You're all super talented and I love you. <3
#14: I'll GET you for that.
ReplyDeleteStory 15 should return. I didn't see how it violated the rules of the contest, and has mp reason to have been taken down.
ReplyDelete#14
ReplyDeletei got pranked by pinkie pie today. yay
This thread needs moar Derpy Roll! 6_9
ReplyDeleteGetting pranked by Pinkie Pie made my night, despite it not being April Fools' Day yet.
ReplyDeleteWell played, Cupcakes, well played.
Number 24 is godlike. I won't even critique it because I'm already horrendously biased.
ReplyDeleteThank you Lucres for writing it.
13 for art is mean, but it's probably the best one we got so far. I actually chuckled a little.
ReplyDeletehopefully you havent uploaded all yet i sent an email 10 minutes ago
ReplyDeleteArtist of #7 here
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to say GL and also pic #13 mad me has a sad :(
http://thatoneguythatsees.deviantart.com/art/Pinkie-Pie-and-Gummy-Prank-203122064 this one was never posted
ReplyDelete@Chicken Vortex
ReplyDeleteGlad you're enjoying the reviews! Honestly, your fic didn't have to many spelling errors; it's just something that bugged me in a couple spots. I suspect most readers wouldn't be too put off.
Anyway, here's a few more. I've got the day off tomorrow, so I'll come on and read the rest in the morning.
#21: More Pinkie goodness. In the opening section, however, I had trouble keeping track of who was talking in some sections. Also, the transitions weren't always clear. A bit confusing to read, but enjoyable nonetheless.
#22: Shifting tenses are one of my pet peeves, and the beginning of this story is full of them. Also, there's a couple of made up words ('grounding' for 'grinding' particularly stood out). That said, the story's well-paced and entertaining.
#23: Simple, short, cute. Pacing's a bit wonkey at times, but as Fluttershy would put it, "It's nice."
#24: Classic movie references and zebra rhyming and non-stop humor, oh my! An excellent, terribly funny story.
#25: Well, I can definitely say I enjoyed this more than the original. Had me worried at the start, though.
#26: Not a TT fan, but if I were I bet I would love this. As it is, I was still able to enjoy it even without having a lot of background in the TT universe.
#27: Another long fic, but definitely a good one! I thought this was going to take a sad turn; I'm happy I was wrong.
#28: Why does the fandom insist on making me love Gilda? The ending of this story gives Griffon the Brush-Off a delicious twist.
#29: There were a few tense problems with this one, as well as some capitalization and punctuation errors. The ending lacked explanation, but I did like the concept of dark-but-not-murderousy-insane Pinkie.
#30: Oh Pinkie, does the 4th wall mean nothing to you? The music was a nice touch; it matched the text extremely well. This fic played to my weakness for pulp detective tales; wonderful!
MIC SOUNDERS THE 13TH PONY IS IN TWILIGHT SPARKLE'S EXCELLENT ADVENTURE. WHAT.

ReplyDeleteOH GOD THAT ENDING
4, 8, 16, 17, 27, 28, 38, and 39 were my favorite fics.
ReplyDelete14 gets my vote for best art, followed by the derpy comic and the Rainbow Dash RPG entry.
ReplyDeleteOh jeeze, #32! XD Too funny! There should be a law against having so many references in one story!

ReplyDeleteIt has MASTER ASIA PONY. THE UNDEFEATED OF THE EAST. AS A PONY CHEF.
WIN DOES NOT BEGIN TO DESCRIBE IT.

ReplyDeleteDidn't you listen to what Lauren said? Nothing in the story exists beyond the story itself. Dash didn't pull a prank.
Re #7 that is.
ReplyDeleteI need to get reading, but I want to congratulate everyone who finished and submitted anything. It's a lot of work, and you should be proud.
ReplyDelete#37 is broken
ReplyDelete39) Twilight really needs to work on her zombie survival plans. It's good for a first attempt, but she's a nerd, and I expect better work next time.
ReplyDeleteHere's something stupid I just whipped up.
ReplyDeleteNo, I'm not trying to run for anything, and I know it sucks, just wanted to post.

*Trots away with an innocent whistle*
Boo! #37 sucks! It's the worst piece of trash I've ever seen! Boo! BOO!
ReplyDeleteUpon reading Pink'd; "And lo, the 4th wall looked upon all the Pinkies there and exclaimed 'screw it, it's not like I would have been needed anyway...' "
ReplyDeletePicture No.13. - I'm laughing and crying and then lauhing again just to cry a bit then bursting into laughter again xD
ReplyDeletePoor Luna, so cruel...Still can't stop laughing xD
Oh man, I finally got to the last fic in the list, and that little exchange between Rarity and Dash is just awesome.
