I see great potential in this fic.
ReplyDeleteAgreed mr Muffins.
ReplyDeleteOn a different note.
I expected them to mention Seth being in charge of the blog in the new Fmaily guy starwars parody thingy for some reason XD
I must see more before making a decision, but I do like what I see.
ReplyDeleteWow. This fic really turns Dash into a jerkass.
ReplyDeletePinkie felt OOC. Well, her letters were dead on but everything else she said didn't seem like something pinkie pie would say.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comments and ratings, everypony! Rest assured I have plans. I have no idea if these plans will succeed, but they're absolutely there and existing!
ReplyDeleteThis story was borne of my wishing to tackle the Gilda/Dash relationship from a less obvious angle than usual; mainly because as far as I'm concerned, in the relevant episode, no one was innocent. :)
....ummmm
ReplyDeleteWhat exactly are they about to do?
@Bookish: Well, Fluttershy, Applejack, and Rarity, who had next to nothing to do with the events transpired were innocent.
ReplyDeleteYou know what he means Ron.
ReplyDeleteI still need a conclusion man. This chapter just seemed to throw more unexplained plot points for the probably lengthy and epic conclusion.
Do want.
I admit that I've always wondered how Fluttershy felt about Gilda, since she canonically knew Dash the longest out of the Mane Six. It was something that I was always disappointed that Episode 5 didn't attempt to explore.
ReplyDeleteInterested in what's going to happen in the final chapter.
Finish it, Celestia damn you!!!
ReplyDeleteDat' cliffhanger...
This is so fucking great! Why can´t i see the voting button?!
ReplyDeleteHmmmmmmmmm...
ReplyDeleteI'm reserving judgment until the end, but you don't SEEM to be going for a "poor widdle Gilda" angle, that's always a plus in my book.
Pinkie's acting a bit too normal though.
Although I will go ahead and admit you've at least defied my expectations, that's also a big plus.
@Pacce
ReplyDeleteI appreciate the vote of confidence. :) It means a lot, and your take on Gilda was a definite inspiration.
And indeed, I'm actually not so much trying to do a Gilda sympathizer story; I actually am quite the fan of Gilda's "razor's-edge" personality, and thus would consider it a disservice to write her any other way.
But if I somehow get her promoted from "monster" status, I'll certainly take it. ;)
@Bookish Delight
ReplyDeleteI can dig that.
Looking forward to see how this all turns out.
At first I thought this was going to be a "mind swap" story and now I'd swear it was going to turn shippy if not for the normal tag.
I'm honestly not sure where you're going with this and that doesn't happen much with fanfics.
Wow, this is really good! This could easily be an episode of the show.
ReplyDeleteI love the dialog in this story.
ReplyDelete"Gilda gritted her teeth, ready to retort. However, before she could..."
ReplyDeleteFIX THAT NOW! Very disturbing. Though I forget if there are beaked creatures with teeth in real life, recall something on a animal show...
@Anonymous
ReplyDelete...I must admit, am unsure as to what needs "fixing." Gilda's teeth were repeatedly and prominently shown in "Griffon the Brush Off." (Mainly during the party.) Likely because she's a cartoon (half-)bird with sentient qualities. She's hardly the first cartoon bird-entity to have a set, either; Disney's been doing that for decades, for example.
Unless you meant something else? ^^;
(looks up) ...also, that is officially the most peculiar spam post I've ever seen.
That spam post is in every comment thread now. They must react to Equestria. Man, if they only knew....
ReplyDeleteThere is no such thing as forgiving Gilda for Fluttershy hate.
ReplyDeleteI was literally just thinking about this story yesterday. Nice to see it again.
ReplyDeleteFlutterhate is the unpardonable sin and can never be forgiven. I like this still, though :P
ReplyDeleteI'll take what I can get, thank you. :)
ReplyDeleteAlso, the story's actually Complete now! I asked Seth to change the tag, but I'm sure that with the fandom's constant expansion, the man's buried under piles of distractions. ^^;
Enjoy!
I love this thing to death right now. I wish this feeling would stick around more.
ReplyDeleteAlso, at points it seemed like it was almost turning shippy. That would've been great and all, but it would've ruined it, and then you went and turned those moments from shippy to sweet. I wish more fics did that.
I love this story :D!
