What a Twist!
VastaKustutaI heard she's going by Romana T. Colgate now :D
VastaKustutaEveryone run, just run, don't look back, the end is neigh.
VastaKustutaAlso HER NAME IS AND FOREVER WILL BE COLGATE!
Colgate> Romana. Also Pinkie + magic = fun for all
VastaKustutaGood fic so far, looking forward to more.
VastaKustuta@Roman500
VastaKustutaDude, we were supposed to go bowling?
Anyways, I have no idea where this Romana thing came from, but that picture up there is Colgate.
Pinkie+magic...
VastaKustutasweetmotherofholiness.jpg
It's not just Pinkie + magic...
VastaKustutaIt's Pinkie + TWILIGHT magic...
It's not the same.
Pinkie Pie with Twilight's horn and power over magic...
VastaKustutaOh dear Celestia help us all O.O
Oh my I loved that. Can't wait for the next part. Plus,
VastaKustutaPinkie + Twilight's horn = OP to the max. It made me lol :D
I really like this idea. Can't wait to see how you pull this off. The funny thing is, I'm currently writing a story with a similar concept. I'm almost finished with the first chapter, so hopefully it will be posted soon.
VastaKustutaHER NAME IS COLGATE, GOD DAMMIT!
VastaKustutaI'VE NEVER HEARD OF ROMANA.
C O L G A T E
She's even on facebook and ponychan as such, not turning back now!
Pinkie with magic? Celestia preserve us! o_O
VastaKustutaAww, she can be Colgate AND Romana. All the Doctor Whooves fans can pretend that Colgate is her undercover name ;)
VastaKustutaI prefer to call her "Atria"...
VastaKustutaBut if I have to go with an already established name I go with Colgate.
(Even though it's unoriginal)
Hmm. Interesting idea. Kudo's for giving Pinkie Twilight's magic. Now we just need somepony to not come to her party and unimaginable carnage will ensue.
VastaKustutaDialogue could use some work here and there. And Rainbow gives in WAY to quickly. Her wings are what she is, its her essence. She should at the very least make Twilight promise nothing bad is going to happen to them (before the spell is cast).
I for one welcome our new Pinkie overlord.
VastaKustutaPinkie... Twilight's Horn.... Magic....
VastaKustutaFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU----
I don't see what everyone's panicking about. So Pinkie Pie has access to magic. What could POSSIBLY go wrong? She's a very level headed and self-restrained pony. Everything should be cleanly and efficiently wrapped up post haste with a minimum of wasteful distractions.
VastaKustutaI prefer Romana, personally. Colgate sounds so...commercial. Yes, I realize we're talking about MLP characters, but do they HAVE to be named after real-life products?
VastaKustutaThen again, maybe I'm just being a party pooper. Either way though, I'm sticking with Romana.
Hey guys this is Roboshi on someone elses computer;
VastaKustutaOn the subject of Romona, how about giving her the full name "Romona Colgate"? After all Romona was a time lord too (or is it time lady?)
On the subject of the story, the second chapter is coming very soon and you can be afraid.
Problem, Twilight?
VastaKustutaOh crap. Pinkie with unicorn magic instead of just Pinkie magic?
VastaKustutaWith all the fanfics that start with Twilight being barged in on in the middle of a delicate experiment the poor girl could really use a warning sign and a decent set of locks.
VastaKustutaShe's Romana only in Doctor Whoof stories. For everything else, she's Colgate.
VastaKustutaPinkie Pie with Twilight's magic? I don't see how she could possibly defy the laws of physics any more than she already does.
VastaKustuta@Anonymous
VastaKustutaI'm sure she'll find a way.
@Anonymous
VastaKustutaMy dear friend, you have a really bad imagination. Now she can use her fourth wall breaking magic, her cartoonish power magic and all twilight unicorn magic. Even Celestia should be worried. Beside thi is like a new toy, Pinkie Pie will be compelled to use and abuse it.
Ooh, good so far, very interesting. Definitely afraid of unicorn Pinkie.
VastaKustutaHere's a tip, though, if I may offer some help: please put more space between different characters' dialogue; making separate paragraphs would help it flow a bit better, in my opinion.
Yep. That's about what I would expect Pinkie with straight unicorn magic would do.
VastaKustutaWhy am I not surprised that Pinkie would destroy the world or, well, turn the world into a party with magic?
VastaKustutaOh Pinkie Pie, you so crazy.
Pinkie on a Magic rush..... ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, SHI*universe gets divided by Zero, to the exponent of Party*
VastaKustutaThis is pretty good. I like it. Looking forward to the next chapter.
VastaKustutaSo Pinkie's magic is turning Ponyville into the party capital of Equestria....everypony's so screwed o.O
VastaKustuta...And chaos ensues, for Pinkie Pie is omnipotent.
VastaKustutaMy god. She's become the Party God!
VastaKustutaDon't like colgate as it is refering to a specific brand of an item. I mean why call her Colgate over Aquafresh etc.? Why is this brand better than the other. Who does toothpaste relate to her cutie mark?
VastaKustutaI KIND OF like Romana better because of the Doctor Who reference, but now that I've seen the episode "The Doctors's Wife" Idris or The TARDIS may be better as she is blue like The TARDIS.
I like the concept of everypony swapping powers, especially if Pinkie ends up with Twilight's magic. I also find the whole "magic buildup" concept quite fascinating. However, there are many spelling and grammar errors present that in my eyes hold the story back from earning five stars. They're easily fixable; mend the spelling and grammar and you've got a winning story.
VastaKustuta@The Lovely Penguin
VastaKustutaI've put it through a couple of proof readers, but if you could point out any we missed I'd be more than happy to fix them. I want this to be the best it can be and I would like to make my first 5-star work.
@Roboshi
VastaKustutaOkie dokie lokie! I'll go over it again.
Proof reader here. I hope you guys liked Party of One!
VastaKustutaWow like really? Really? you oblivious asshole. Thinking like this actually matters. Living your life for some bullshit that on your deathbed will be but a blink in your eye. You'll never live. NEVER. You'll never go out to see what there is. To see what life can hold. You'l just sit hit Lying in the fetal position, hugging on to the past, hoping that It will show you the light. The light will always be just out of reach. Always escape you, until you accept what much be done. Heaven help you, and heaven help your soul.
VastaKustuta@Anonymous Lol what. Seriously, what? That seems like it doesn't have anything to do with the story, and is really just confusing.
VastaKustutaReally enjoying this! Good stuff!
VastaKustutaWhat? Pinkie wielding magic??!??!
VastaKustutahttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXuJ2cHx7Aw
Part 3 is so full of win I cant even describe it with words :)
VastaKustutaPINKIE, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!
VastaKustuta"Problem" is an understatement at this point. Where's the owl when you need him?
VastaKustutaironically i posted a picture of almost this same situation on the ATG in deviant art last week..
VastaKustutahttp://hgraves.deviantart.com/art/next-time-dont-drink-the-tea-236871893
good stuff!
When the Doctor (Doctor Who) was banished on Earth he took on the name 'John Smith', because he couldn't just say 'I am the Doctor' and before anybody gives him the eyes simply fly away witht he Tardis (because he couldn't use it, when he was banished).
VastaKustutaSo, when Romana shipwrecked on Equestria she took on the name Colgate and became the town's dentist.
Easy as that.
Personally, I loved the idea. But you made grammar mistakes at every turn (ie didn't put commas where they should be- that irritates me a lot XD) and Pinkie Pie acted very out-of-character. And Pinkie Pie IS the best pony.. so fix it! XD
VastaKustutaOoh, and in Chapter 2- I doubt Rainbow Dash would say "Surely".
VastaKustutaWhy are people talking about Colgate in the first comments?
VastaKustutaAnd, great fic, Roboshi!
My reaction to the last few paragraphs
VastaKustuta"Oh... Oh shit."
I still disagree with the schizophrenic/mpd characterization of Pinkie, but you've really done a magnificent job with it. The only thing that can scare a Pinkie Pie is a Pinkie Pie.
VastaKustutaHi there, thank you all for the comments;
VastaKustuta-in terms of grammar? I do get it proof read but if anyone can point out any bits they missed I would gladly make the required alterations.
-In terms of Pinkie Pie's character? Hopefully the Effect of being totally helpless can go some way to explain this change, I have always seen pinkie as being a quite insecure and vulnerable character when on her own (as seen in party of one her fear of loneliness sent her insane).
-As for Colgate/Romona? I asked them to change the picture to something a little more fitting.
@Anonymous
VastaKustutaYou're right, I'll alter that line a little to make it more Dash-like.
From what I'm getting at for who got whose attributes heres how it goes. Left gives to the right.
VastaKustutaTwilight --> Pinkie Pie
Rainbow Dash --> Applejack
Rarity --> Fluttershy
Fluttershy --> Twilight
Pinkie Pie --> Rainbow Dash
Applejack --> Rarity
Thats right, right?
@Anonymous
VastaKustutaThat is indeed, correct. I tried to make sure no one get a straight swap and that no two species got the same thing.
Rarity and Fluttershy haven't had a chance yet to use their new abilities but using the process of elimination and the fact fluttershy has a white horn you can work that out from there.
It's a well done story, totally five-stars!
VastaKustutaHowever...
the last part made me think:
couldn't Fluttershy use Rarity's magic to turn Spike back to normal?
As Fluttershy is good with animals, and Rarity's magic is about fashion... a beak on a dragon is quite unfashionable.
@Roboshi
VastaKustutaHey, remember how a while back I offered to read through and edit any spelling/grammar/punctuation errors? Sorry, I had gotten a bit behind with school and life in general. Do you still want me to go over the story? I'd be glad to do it, now that I have more time.
This is awesome. I can't believe I didn't know about this story till now. Very funny and almost no errors. Looking forward to more.
VastaKustutabout time this got an update...
VastaKustutaany longer and this was going to go in my "never finished" folder....
i believe "love is over" is in there...any clue what happened?
