I knew/was hoping with all my heart that you would use one of those pirate pictures when you posted this. XD
ReplyDeleteAlso, I'm officially taking credit for that ninja point right now. Ego boost GO.

ReplyDelete>Chapter 2
ReplyDeleteWhat.
No really, what.
I dont even.
In a fairly good way, mind you.
Chapter 2
ReplyDeleteWhat is this I don't even...
Chapter one was very interesting and well written.
ReplyDeleteChapter two intermission was PURE OATMEAL, moar plox.
More like Chapter 2, please.
ReplyDeletelol'd at chapter 2, well done on making it actually funny. Waiting on more!
ReplyDeleteLol wut
ReplyDeleteI'm getting a "Hardwood Deck" just thinking about how chapter 2 could've been like if there were more ships.
ReplyDeleteI now look forward to this with the same giddiness as the luna progress fics I will wait here for more
ReplyDeleteWhat the hell did I just read? Why do I really really really want MOAR PLZ?
ReplyDeleteLa Barata, the Drunken Pony Pirate, approves of this fanfiction.
ReplyDeleteSuper Cool Chapter 2, Bro.
ReplyDeleteSeriously though, I'm looking forward to seeing more of this story!
Positive comments? "Moar" requests? 4/5 star rating?
ReplyDeleteWell, that's pretty coo...
*spots comparison to "Progress"*
YesYesYesYesYesYesYesYesYesYesYesYesYesYes
*coughs*
Ahem.
Hmm... maybe next chapter I'll get around to putting some pirates in there!
i accidentally the whole .............. i dont even know. screw breaking the forth wall. completely and utterly destroy the forth wall down to the very fiber of its being such even the atoms that once constituted it no longer resemble there original form. thats what this is. i like it xD
ReplyDeleteSecond chapter.... GAH! lol! I thought Twilight preferred Dash.
ReplyDelete...I can taste purple.
ReplyDeleteRANDOM SHIPPING IS GO.
Chapter 1: HHGttG Ref?! :D
ReplyDeleteChapter 2: What is this? I don't even...
Pinkie, were you going to oral sex Dash?
...WHAT THE (expletive deleted)?!?

I was deeply confused the first quarter of the first chapter... When I finally figured it out, I lold...
ReplyDeleteChapter 2 was what.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I love how Pinkie comes prepared.
Hello there readers! Can I please get feedback?
ReplyDeleteMy fragile ego is looking to net itself a higher rating, but if I don't know what's missing then I can't add it/remove it...
Please, drop me a line at the email address in the story if you think there's something I could have done better!
Sad that there's no Bloomberg x Sugarcube Corner shipping? Appalled by the lack of battle walkers from the war of the worlds (Which movie/book you ask? Why the musical of course!) Disconsolate that the piece wasn't written to be sung along with King Crimson's "Court of the Crimson King"? Let me know! Ideally by email like I've said...
@ Anonymous (June 5, 2011 6:19 PM): Funnily enough I preferred the 4th wall stuff to writing the shipping! I suspect we'll see more wall-based shenanigans later on...
@ Scott: It was more "who's closest" than aiming for exact matches ;)
@ Delta Pangaea: Is my prose to wordy, or are you having vile thoughts about Twilight?
@ Anonymous (June 5, 2011 8:20 PM): What a dirty mind! I thought it was obvious that the rest of the line was "or I'm going down to help you up!". She's CLEARLY just trying to help her out, and it's worded as a threat becuase Dash wouldn't want the others to think that she required a hoof up! Good grief, this fanbase... sometimes even I despair! Although for getting the reference you do win back some of my respect :P
@ ryan: Deus Ex Pinkie Pie? Ever wondered where Spike got the fishing rod from in "A Dog and Pony Show"? Curious to know where Twilight's balloon comes from, despite her arriving in Ponyville by pegasus? Pinkie Pie is what would happen if Mary Poppins' suitcase was made out of sapient pearwood...
My Thoughts During the "Pinkie Pie rolls in the mud" segment of Chapter 1
ReplyDelete"flipping onto her back in a move that made reality wince slightly" Huh. that's vaugely Douglas Adams-esque
"again causing causality a rather painful migraine" Okay, once Adams-y phrase is one thing, I'm going to wait for something more obvious before I count these as references.
"Curiously enough, the only thing that went through the mind of Pinkie Pie as she fell through the puddle was 'Oh no, not again'." IT IS! A modified quote of the falling petunias over Magrathea!
Please tell me I'm not insane, and these were indeed nods to Douglas Adams and The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy?
@ ZombieFobby: Although the first few nods are unintentional, the copy/paste quote is indeed a reference! If the HHGttG has unconsciously influenced the other bits then I'm not going to complain. Although I've always preferred Dirk Gently for some reason, but I suspect that hasn't reached the same audience.
ReplyDeleteNot that popularity, or lack of, stopped me from inserting a "Half-Life: Full-life Consequences" reference into chapter 3...
@Pineapple Skitter
ReplyDelete*Adds more comparison to progress to bolster little writer brony ego*
