Holy crap, I was just talking about a Scratch and Octavia story. I am GOOD. Okay, now I predict a story that ships Derpy and Gilda, and after that, news that Hasbro and Kraft are teaming up to make FiM macaroni and cheese.
ReplyDeleteHilarious story, fun read.
ReplyDeleteIt was lacking. There should've at least been a chapter two before being posted.
ReplyDeleteYAY! Finally, some more Scratch! Oh, and Octavia too.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to read more of this.
Somepony really ought to record this.
I definitely want to see more of these come out. Hell, if we somehow actually got people to voice act to this...I would listen.
ReplyDeleteit would be awesome to have this actually recorded
ReplyDeleteplease somepony record it
this is crazy.
ReplyDeletemoar plz.
(the ending made me Dawwww)
That was epic! This needs to become an actual Radio Show!
ReplyDeleteVery fun dynamic between the two characters. Hoping for more!
ReplyDeleteI just want to go on record saying if someone did actually want to voice act this, I have no problem with that whatsoever. To be honest, I didn't really expect such a high demand for that, haha.
ReplyDeleteHOLY FUCKING SHIT! Lol...This isn't Fan Fiction this is FAN SERVICE xD
ReplyDeleteTrollestia getting Trolled by Vinyl Scratch ROFLMAO xD
this is really good! +1 pony academy award for you good sir
ReplyDeleteHah...and i thought Vinyl Scratch would be pictured as a laid-back pony kinda like SpitFire
ReplyDeleteBtw i just clicked on Tags for Vinyl Scratch, how come there are only 2 Fan Fictions for DJ-P0n3?
Vinyl Scratch feels like a combination of the most insane portions of Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie.
ReplyDeleteI approve.
I Still think this should be renamed to:
ReplyDeleteCelestia Getting Told Off
And the description changed to:
Trollestia is being Trolled by Vinyl. And what everyone says about Celestia being a Troll to Luna when banishing her is right in here.
I would so step up to the plate and VA for this. Maybe even special guest star.
ReplyDeleteThis was pretty awesome. Really hoping more will be written later.
ReplyDeleteEpic tier story, you can never have enough Octavia and Vinyl. 5/5.
ReplyDelete~Scratch
Vinyl Scratch and Octavia work together really, really well. The way you've written them is excellent, and they seem like they'd make a really good comedy duo. My only complaint is that Vinyl's craziness seemed just a touch over the top/unexplained, but hopefully, you'll flesh her out in future chapters. And there damn well better be future chapters!
ReplyDeleteNEED MOAR
ReplyDeleteD4SH WANTS MOAR

How was that shipping?
ReplyDelete^What he said.
ReplyDeleteEnjoyable read, but I hardly think it counts as shipping.
^This would of got more comments if it wasn't tagged as shipping
ReplyDeleteBtw, Seth you should put up another tag for ''Golden Comedy'' xD or better...''FAN SERVICE''
---->I Can HARDLY find this to be a story<----
It's like someone just made this for the sole purpose to show more of the rumors of Tyrantlestia or Trollestia, or the plot holes in the show
Holy awesome Batman. That was fantastic. Like the talk radio stations from GTA Vice City ran through a pony filter. I loved it.
ReplyDeleteHoly freaking Luna, that was amazing, I demand more of this story, part two they take requests from the listeners, or have a great composer as a guest.
ReplyDeleteI lol'd, the "shipping" was funny, this needs to be made, end of story.
@Mr.Brony
ReplyDeleteBecause Seth didn't tag Scratch in stories earlier. And not enough Scratch stories have been written.
@Anonymous and the others who asked about shipping
It's tagged as incomplete, so the shipping will probably show up later. That's my guess at least.
I thought this was fantastic, i would love another one^^
ReplyDeletemaybe one with spitfire...?
@leaflet757
ReplyDeleteHaha, you know, it's funny you should say that ...
I'm working on the second chapter now and the guests actually are Soarin' and Spitfire.
Brilliant work. I love how Vinyl Scratch's psychosis and stupidity bounce off excellently from Octavia's down-to-earth personality. If it weren't for Octavia's attempting to salvage her career, this wouldn't have been as funny as it is now.
ReplyDeleteGreat work with adding some great, heart warming emotional value to the comedy. Celestia was a great example, and I love how you added all those serious problems with their relationship in so amusing a manner.
I look forward to what Vinyl Scratch does, and more importantly, how Octavia reacts.
PS. Excellent work with the Radio Wave joke.
Progress references... This couldn't have been better
ReplyDeleteHey, is the author by any chance SMP films on youtube? Cause that guy's name is Corey Williams too.
ReplyDelete@Anonymous
ReplyDeleteNah. I just happen to have the same name.
It occurs to me that that picture of Octavia and Scratch with the former's bow stuck in the later's throat might be more fitting.
ReplyDelete(I tried my hardest to make that description not sound dirty.)
... So, am I the only one who desperately wanted the Princess to do something besides just sit back and take it? Anything at all?
ReplyDeleteOr is that my personal dislike of rude, obnoxious, self-aggrandising jerks acting up again?
Was amusing.
ReplyDeleteWait they'd only recently developed radio technology but by Vinyl Scratch already knows it travels through space?
ReplyDeleteI liked it. Very much. A little conflicting with how I view Scratch, but easily overlooked. I wouldn't mind seeing a continuation of this.
ReplyDeletethis ......is the best thing i've read on equestira daily i hope to god that the and well be up soon .....and if the writer is reading this comment.....(fluttershy vocie)plzplzplzplzplzplzplzplzplzplzplzplz put a second part sooooon >_<
ReplyDeleteBeing a DJ myself, I ALWAYS love a vinyl scratch fanfic. This one was top notch however, from the use of system font giving it that little bit of authenticity to over the top eccentrism that many of us DJ's portray. Overall a real treat. (Although I'm not sure why the shipping label was applied *scratches head* I guess we will wait and see)
ReplyDeleteThat was very well-written and funny. Nice to see someone scratching the surface of DJ-P0n3's character... if you know what I mean...
ReplyDelete[awkward pause]
Anyways... yeah vinyl scratch is awesome, long live Equestria! Woo!
shipping label implies that the story is not over yet
ReplyDeleteMOAAAAAAAAAAR
I haven't read it yet, but I intend to as the pair [Comedy][Shipping] always gets my attention.
ReplyDeleteThat. Was. Amazing.
ReplyDeleteYou have to write more. You HAVE to. For the bronies. For freedom. For ROCK AND ROLL!
Can hardly call this a story
ReplyDeleteDJ-P0N3 being portrayed as an obnoxious reporter?!
ReplyDelete...
It's like...every single person on earth supporting Trollestia, Including Lauren's Team just spoke through Vinyl...
I feel like I just read a transcript from Good Morning Vietnam if Robin Williams had an on air assistant. I'm not sure if that was a good thing or not, fun though.
ReplyDeleteThere needs to be more of this. Much more.
ReplyDeleteYo Dawg this ain't no story this here is 100 percent FAN SERVICE, saying Celestia is a Troll which already is canon, the ending bit with Vinyl shouting like she was in V for Vendetta or something was refferencing too much Tyrantlestia for my tastes, had to wash it up with lemonade
ReplyDeleteNow How about you untag this as being a story?
*poor british kid voice*
ReplyDeletePuhlease sir, could I have sum moar?
[/accent] Seriously though, this is one of the better things ever.
The dynamic of Scratch and Octavia is simply awesome. I also wholeheartedly approve of Scratch hitting on Octavia. So sue me.
Holy Shit dude this was AWESOME
ReplyDeleteWhen can we expect the next part?
Us psychotic people always end up with the "voices of reason".
ReplyDeleteIt sucks.
reading this reminds me of listening to Rover's Morning Glory on my way into work every day....
ReplyDeleteMeeehhh... I'm not sure...
ReplyDeleteI mean, this was 'ok'... interesting in a way...
I'm a big fan of DJ P0N-3 's character, in general. You know... the cool upbeat and energetic musician-DJ of the Night.
But here, DJ P0N-3 's atitude was just too trash-talk-crazy, and not enough cool-crazy...
Yeah, trash-talk radio-show thingy... but it doesn't fit her personality well...
I don't think I could have laughed harder if I tried. This time, Trollestia DOESN'T strike again! This story was sooooooo good! I cannot wait for the next chapter, excellent work my friend.
ReplyDeleteThis was pretty damn great read - doubly for just being the first chapter. Do want more.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, if some able ponies could voiceact & record this... it would be the best thing since they put the pocket in pitã.
This looks promising, I'm waiting for the new chapters!
ReplyDeleteAlso, I like the idea that Vinyl Scratch hits on everything that moves :D
I enjoyed this. Scratch comes off as one of good kind of eccentric DJ's you get on local stations rather than Clear Channel PC bullshit, one who can get away with doing hard interviews on the air if she thinks that something the listeners want to hear will come out of it.
ReplyDeleteAll in all, fun fic, waiting patiently for more!
Hey!
ReplyDelete@Corey W. Williams
You mind if we get some voice acting on this? I would be willing to make the jump and try to find support/actors to get this rolling. Any one else interested?
This was hilarious, I'd love to see more. Great work, Corey!
ReplyDelete@Emerald Page
ReplyDeleteSure, I don't have a problem with that at all if you want to try doing that. It's actually encouraging that so many people actually want that.
This would make for a great weekly segment on one of the radio stations, EPR or CR, either one. This must happen!
ReplyDelete@Emerald Page
ReplyDeleteI'm interested as hell. Contact me if you need a male VA, there's got to be a male guest or something at somepoint.
Tsundere Octavia is tsundere.
ReplyDeleteOkay. That? That was absolutely adorable.
ReplyDeleteWonderful work. Plenty of hilarity with a healthy dose of 'D'awww'. Looking forward to more.
ReplyDeleteIt's pretty rare when a fic manages to be both touching and hilarious, but you pulled it off quite nicely with chapter 2.
ReplyDeleteJust one thing:
>I’ll give you three hints: it’s a different gender, it’s someone you already know, and the answer is me.
>different gender
Spitfire and Vinyl are both mares. Right? Right!?
I like this story. I thought it was pretty well written.
ReplyDeletethe different gender comment was directed at Octavia guessing a nerdy colt, so against that Vinyl is a different gender
ReplyDeleteI am so glad this continued >.<
ReplyDeleteGenius. Pure genius.
ReplyDeleteAnd also hilarious. And also D'AWWWW.
I hope more is written of this wonderful story. Two hooves up!
In two chapters this is already 6/5, please continue for the love of humanity.
ReplyDeleteThis is great, I can't wait for the next chapter.
ReplyDelete(also Octavia plays a contrabass, not a cello)
Footsteps...should be hoofsteps. :s
ReplyDeletesome minor mistakes but it is now one of my favorites I'm going to be checking on this same as progress
ReplyDeleteBrilliant! Not much else to say really!?
ReplyDeleteHow's part 2? don't have too much time to read it all
ReplyDeleteIt's a rare sight indeed to read both utter "D'aww" and rolling-on-the-floor-giggling-like-mad in same piece of fiction - in the same chapter, nonetheless!
ReplyDeleteThis is good, and the combination of above just makes me smile.
Also, now I want to draw Scratch and Octavia doing the show. Or doing something, I dunno. But I want to draw the two :D
You know, if either Scratch or Octavia aren't anywhere like this in any future episodes they appear in I will be disappointed. You have built, in my mind, the type of ponies they are, and you did a terrific job. Thank you, and I look forward to more.
ReplyDeleteSecond chapter was hilarious. I thank you, I really, really needed that. Seemed like pretty much every fic lately feels the need to be depressing, even without a sad tag. Been waiting desperately for the next Ballad of Twilight Sparkle, but this has done the job admirably as well.
ReplyDeleteHeh, just finished second part. Loved it - and added some good emotion. Octavia ftw.
ReplyDeletenow i know why its shipping
ReplyDeleteFor the love of all that is pony, please continue!
ReplyDeleteSo much trolling in ch1
ReplyDeleteSo much d'awwwwwww in ch2
What's next?!
inb4 there will be chapter with Soaring.
ReplyDeleteMaybe not the next one, but I'm calling it.
@Anonymous
ReplyDeleteYes, but this was after she said "No, Octy, it's not a nerdy colt." She was saying it was a different gender than the colt.
Also, Corey, didn't you say that Soarin' was gonna be in this chapter? I guess writing him out of it worked out for the better, though...
ReplyDeletei loled this is hilarious :)
ReplyDelete~Mr0reo
That. was. funny. Great work!
ReplyDeleteDid anyone catch the almost Rick-roll by Spitfire?
ReplyDeletei REALLY want to write my own! im not sure if i should tho because people probs wouldn't read it =P
ReplyDeleteawww its so sweet!!
ReplyDeleteMOOOOOOAAAAAARRRR!!!!!!!!
Wow this was a great read. The second part was actually really heartwarming. Heck it would even make a great actual episode. I think that's some of the highest praise I can give.
ReplyDeleteNot sure if you'll keep going but if you do i'll gladly read more.
Was not expecting so much D'aaaaaaaaaawwwww.
ReplyDeleteAnd yet, it worked.
Oh man, if this was a real talk show I would listen to it all the time. MOAR PLZ.
ReplyDeleteI want this show to happen for real. Serious.
ReplyDeleteIf there was a way to have a favorites option on Equestria Daily...
ReplyDeleteGenuine laughter and genuine daaaaaaaw. 5 stars
Well, I must confess, second chapter made me want to punch Vinyl a little less. At least a little.
ReplyDeleteNow we just need to see what the line is once it's drawn.
He is not snootier than me!
ReplyDeleteBestjokeeveromgomgomgomgomg
I must admit, that I liked both parts very much (first was a little better in my opinion, but only a little). I must say however, that if you want to continue this story (although I think you could end it right here, and it would be cool), please find other way for exposition than "oops, I've left mic on", because twice is good enough, but third time it would be just silly and lazy.
ReplyDeleteOh lord, these stories are so good.
ReplyDelete@VFX Kid
ReplyDeleteYeah, once I started writing the chapter, I realized Soarin' didn't really have much to do if he was there, so I wrote him out of it. I think it ended up working better that way.
These are some of the best stories I have read from the pony community. Fantastic work and please write more!
ReplyDeleteI really want this show to exist. I really do.
ReplyDeleteAww, more sappy sweet stuff.
ReplyDeleteWonderful story, will you ever do a script of "Late night with Lyra and BonBon"?
@PureZOOKS
ReplyDeleteI don't know, probably not. I don't think I'd be able to write Lyra and BonBon as well as I write Vinyl and Octavia.
I was thinking about maybe doing a one-shot prequel about Vinyl and Spitfire as fillies, but I haven't really fleshed it out yet. I'm not sure if I'll actually do it.
I loved the new chapter but I've just gotta say one thing: the accordion is an AWESOME instrument.
ReplyDelete@Emerald Page
ReplyDeleteHoly crap, that would be awesome. There seem to be quite a lot of people supportive of that idea, hopefully enough to get this project rolling :D
Ding! As promised, I drew the two hosts of this particular show. In, shall we say, less-than-favourable situation. Show must still go on!
ReplyDeletehttp://foxofwar.deviantart.com/#/d3jo2vy
I hope it causes even the fraction of giggling I had while drawing this. Which in itself was a fraction of the giggling I had while reading the two chapters, so I guess 'tis fair.
This is pretty much the best fic I've read in my life.
ReplyDelete@FoxOfWar
ReplyDeleteHaha, awesome. Fav'd
Waiting for Scratch to make a Jet Set Radio refrence, this is gold
ReplyDeleteThis fic is the funniest thing to come out of the fandom since...well, ever. I can't think of anything else off the top of my head that makes me laugh as much as this. The dynamic between Vinyl and Octavia is so natural and witty, it's brilliant.
ReplyDeleteIf I could give you 5 million stars, I would do it in a heartbeat, but since 5 is my only option, I hope you'll accept it.
I really enjoyed this! I hope you do more of these, they actually make me laugh.
ReplyDeleteit was pretty funny, lacking a little, can't put my finger on it.
ReplyDeleteand i wouldn't call this "shipping", because any shipping in this story is p. much a gag.
chapter one was good loved the chemistry there between Octy and Vinyle, I don't think you could of picked two better ponies for this..
ReplyDeleteAnd damn you Octavia and Spitfire for setting up the mood for a sad story filled with so much D'AWW, made me shed a tear or two there after making me laugh so much.
If there was to be an end to this series that last part sure did worked out enough for me! Even I laughed after a moment awkward silence with the fart noise.
On that note though I HOPE to see more brilliantly styled comedy like this again in a chapter 3?
@Anonymous
ReplyDeleteTo the Octavia&Spitfire comment I mean I laughed BEFORE the sad part and then was reduced to a tear and some d'awws. And not that I found Vinyle getting hurt for trying to find a way to visit her friend was funny.
That was absolutely hilarious.
ReplyDeleteAnd also very saddening. :(
I loved it. I congratulate the author on making a great story consisting mostly of dialogue.
You've got a great balance of humor and emotion.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed it. It was rather hilarious and had just enough feeling. :3
ReplyDeleteMoar please.
Love this series. I played Fallout 3 earlier today and couldn't help but read Vinyl's intro in Three Dog's voice
ReplyDeleteI like these, they're really fun to read. Since reading the first one though I have wondered if they have once a week solo shows. Like on Friday nights maybe Vinyl does a remix rave show, sometimes live on location. While on Saturday nights Octavia does a show where she plays some smooth jazz and reads listeners letters, and has candles lit all over the studio. I don't know why I thought of that last part.
ReplyDeleteThat was brilliant, great comedy and sadness in the same chapter, can't wait for the next one!
ReplyDeletealso, at the "[Hits button. Volume lowers slightly. Octavia continues unaware she is still broadcasting.]" part I could imagine myself sitting in the car, and turning up the volume with a sly grin to hear all the juicy secrets they didn't want me to know.
Great story! Really loved part 2! More please!
ReplyDeletewhat an amazing pair. Probably the best fanfiction I've read with both humor and d'aww. I eagerly await more
ReplyDeleteThe Shipping Part: Ewwwwwwwww
ReplyDeleteI Only came here for the fan service trolling part
ReplyDeleteThis is great. I didn't find a single part (other than the couple of d'aww moments) that wasn't funny. I was just about in tears when I finished reading the 2nd chapter.
ReplyDeleteWorking on chapter three.
ReplyDeleteChapter four will probably be like the "season finale." It might not be the last one ever, but it'll be the last one for a little while
Loving this story, its funny and alive. :3
ReplyDeleteJust got the urge to draw it up a bit and started working on a drawing. As its now its just Vinyl but planing on adding Octavia and a better backgroun in the furure if i can acually pull it of.
Work in progress images here:

@Zonra
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome!
Why isn't this in the "Star-6" catagory yet? It clearly got enough votes and it has a freaking 4.9 rating!
ReplyDeleteIf this is all sorted manually, this should really be all done auto, somehow. Sounds like sorting all these fanfics would be a lot of work, too.
The first chapter had me laughing my flank off. This second chapter? Had me crying at how sweet and sad it was. Bravo!
ReplyDeleteNeed Moar dammit moar
ReplyDeleteThis story was fantastic, thank you so much!
ReplyDeleteWell...
ReplyDeleteThat Part2 was... better, I would say.
Setting some background-explanation for the personality *THE AUTHOR* gave to DJ P0N-3.
More interesting and enjoyable than the first Part, that's for sure.
Part 1 - Great, but not phenomenal.
ReplyDeletePart 2 - "NO FIRE!" lol
Yeah, Part 2 is even better. Lets see some more PON-3 crazy now that we know the why....Pinkie Pie. There has to be a Pinkie Pie tape in there somewhere.
@Corey W. Williams
ReplyDeleteI finished the Drawing now, it posted at http://www.furaffinity.net/view/5993624/
And i am fairly satisfied by the end result
that made me angry at the start then made me dawwwwwwwwww at the end
ReplyDelete@Zonra
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome. I especially like Octavia's facial expression. Very good.
@Anonymous
ReplyDeleteAlso it ticked me off when she said "Oh my 'god' I can't stop laughing".
Could've been "Celestia" or "Gosh". Just saying.
But Overall Pretty awesome story!
Put it simply, I want moar.
ReplyDeleteMuch moar.
Don't stop what you're making here, because this is gold.
Al right, THIS has to be the funniest MLP fanfic I've ever read!
ReplyDeleteI really like how you make Vinyl Scratch behave in this!
If she makes another appearance or two in the second season with speaking parts, she needs to sound like she did in this story! I would love her even more than I do now for that!
Vinyl Scratch is one cool, badass pony!
Please, continue this story! Can't wait to see who Vinyl and Octys next guest will be!
@Anonymous
ReplyDeleteWhat he said. It is bricks of gold. Castles of it.
yeahthattotallymakessense
@Stephen Cawking
ReplyDeleteDJ PON-3 vs Pinkie Pie! Let the crazy-off begin!
Fucking love this series. So simple but so hilarious.
ReplyDeleteSweet Celestia and Luna, I love this story so much. The banter is solid go--no, solid diamond, the voices are perfect--despite the fact that neither character has a single line in the show--and you write perhaps the smoothest transitions from LOL to D'AWWWW I have ever read. Please, please keep this up.
ReplyDeleteyou, are the third best writer ever
ReplyDelete(First is Kkat with Fallout Equestria. second is Squeak with his doctor whoof stories Number 12 and traveler)
D4SHTH3R4INB0W
...Derpy Express. Pony Ex-...My god. You sir, are brilliant. Not that there was ever any doubt considering the previous chapters.
ReplyDeleteAwesome.
ReplyDeleteThis story is well-written, funny, and has a lot of heart.
The author can really hit the emotional beats; I felt happy in the right spots, sad in the right spots, awkward in a certain spot, and inspired in every spot.
They make me laugh every single time! Well done!
ReplyDeletethis needs seven stars imo
ReplyDeletethis is quickly becoming my fave fan fic I love every word of it, keep up the good work!
Yesyesyesyesyes! Part 3! I simply love this thing. I was thinking about recording these...
ReplyDeleteThat has to be the greatest angry rant ever created by Vinyl. XD
ReplyDeleteIt's magic!
ReplyDeleteNow that just made my day. *has a twinkle in his eyes* :,D
ReplyDeleteS-stupid Vinyl, it's not as if I like you or anything...
ReplyDeleteJust read all 3 chapters - every ending made me progressively more and more sentimental and teary-eyed. Such a sweet story, wish there was more!
ReplyDeleteThis is indeed epic, Love it, great job!
ReplyDeleteBuck blueblood. Buck him right up the flank.
ReplyDeleteThis. This is the Best Story.
ReplyDeleteYesss, this perfectly normal human brony thinks this is a very good fic, yesss! Very good. Needs more diamonds and Miss Rarity though.
ReplyDelete@Whiteout
ReplyDeleteSeriously. I had to go back and read that last bit of Vinyl Scratch's rant again.
Need some way to vote this seven stars!
>DJ-P0n3 (aka Vinyl Scratch)
ReplyDeleteWhy do people keep calling her like that?
am I missing a joke here or something?
it's Vinyl Scratch (aka DJ-P0n3)
Good stuff. After Chapter 3 I finally forgave Vinyl for being a bitch to Celestia. Also, I would totally hang out with Octavia.
ReplyDelete@Anonymous
ReplyDeleteShe's on the air, so her callsign gets first billing as it's her on-air persona.
This is fast becoming my favorite fic on the site, after fallout equestria. Good work :)
ReplyDeleteFirst off, if we had Pinkie Pie vs Vinyl Scratch insanity, Octavia would be pushed out of the whole thing. There would be nothing for her. They should have Luna on next, with some referencing to the "Luna vs" series.
ReplyDeleteGreat series so far! I loved every second of those first 3 chapters. :D
ReplyDeleteChap3 is also a greatfollow-up to the previous two, especially considering not only the interaction between the two is as polished and hilarious as before, but now the two are actually growing closer to each other ^^
The CMC call was sweet and funny ^^ but the Blueblood one? Total awesome right there. Easily the part that moved me the most. It's good to see Vynil's soft core every now and then, even if it still comes out in her style, which makes it even better. So, props for that, you did a great job there. ^^
So, great job so far, and I'd love to read more of the duo, with whatever excuses you find to bring them about XD Keep up the amazing work.
This story is amazing.
ReplyDelete(I want to see some Scratchtavia!)
This is great. The characters are a perfect odd couple and the way they're developing over the course of the series is well done. Scratch is hilarious, and Octavia is a consummate straight pony. Keep up the good work!
ReplyDelete@Stephen Cawking
ReplyDeleteI was wondering that too, that's one of the few things that I don't agree with, but I'll just chalk it up to artistic license and ignore it.
This was awesome. More please!
ReplyDeleteTo be concluded? So the next one will be the last one? spikenoo.avi NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm so in love with this. I DON'T WAN'T IT TO END!
ReplyDeleteThis is brilliant. Pure comedy and drama rolled into one tight ball of epicness. It's difficult to descripe how amazing this short-story is. I mean, the Blueblood rant was just... Just... BRILLIANT!!!!! Ahem... *cough* Alright, I can't wait for the conclusion, but it would be nice if it continued.
ReplyDelete"DJ-P0n3: Anyway, listeners, let me explain the plot ...
ReplyDeleteOctavia: In a very fast-and-loose definition of the word 'plot.'"
DJ-P0n3 explains about the ass...
This needs to be vocalized. Now.
ReplyDeleteI love this story. It's brilliant and touching.
ReplyDeleteVinyl Scratch is appropriately spastic and passionate, while Octavia comes across as reserved, yet holding back an equally enormous passion. I like how the last transcript reveals that they're both so very much in love with music, and that's what brings them together. A wonderful story.
@Kumquat
ReplyDeleteWell, we have only ever seen her once in the show, and she was DJ'ing a fashion show at the time. The techno/industrial stuff she was playing fit the venue; it doesn't necessarily mean it's her favorite genre. Really, unless we get more than that brief glimpse, (and given the last few lines of "Equestria Girls," I'm betting we haven't seen the last of Scratch) I feel that more or less any interpretation is valid.
The character development is a bit dramatic in this, but I guess it has to be to make up for their bickering at the beginning of the series. Somehow, the banter is quite enjoyable despite how redundant it could have been. I'd say Octavia's reaction to the phone call with Blueblood was just about right. DJ P0N3 is crazy here, but she can also be sweet.
ReplyDeleteOK, I just read part three, it was brilliant and entertaining, and now if you'll excuse me I need to set Blueblood's house on fire. *walks off with oily rags, gasoline, and accelerant*
ReplyDelete"Gottagokaythanksbye" And so Applebloom started the internet for Equestria.
ReplyDeleteBut anyways, this just keeps getting more and more touching. It's now becoming one of my favs and I was so happy to see the "to be continued" at the end.
bloody brilliant piece of work here
ReplyDeleteGET OUT! THERES AN UPDATE?! Oh snap! got to say I hope it's as funny as the others cause I am in dire need of something to pick me up! *scurries off to read new chapter avoiding w/e spoilers people may have posted about it*
ReplyDeleteHuzzah for minor character character development!
ReplyDeleteAlso, there needs to be more Scratchtavia.
You need to keep making these, it's awesome. Vinyl's now one of my favorite ponies.
ReplyDeleteWow, this fanfic does have a lot of soul, I will be waiting for the next part.
ReplyDelete"Just give us a call at, let’s see here ... 4. Okay, give us a call at 4 and you’ll be on the show!"
ReplyDeleteI lost it right there.
I have to say that the interactions between the two in part 1 and 2 really reminded me of Micheal and DOB in Agents of Cracked, yeah there are a lot more pairings like that but AoC was the first that popped into my mind
ReplyDeleteJust read the Blueblood rant. Holy crap, man. Epic.
ReplyDeleteI only have one complaint.
ReplyDeleteThe to be concluded at the end. Too soon man, too soon. I wanted a lot more chapters :p
@Baree
ReplyDeleteYeah, next chapter is going to be the last one, at least for a while. Not necessarily the last one ever though. Kind of like the end of this story arc, like the "season finale."
I do have some loose ideas for future installments (I did have a really good idea for a Christmas special, but it'd be kind of weird to do that in July ...) but I wanted to wait until Season 2 of the show started, hopefully to give me some more material and celebrity ponies to use (since, to be honest, I've nearly run out), and I'd rather end the "season" on a high note rather than drag it out.
So yeah, there's the rationale behind that.
So cool I gotta give it a new name. I call it, mafuckingdopeawesomeshit!

ReplyDeleteI'm not sure if it'd be a great idea to do this but I can see trixie being on the show.... by inviting herself on XD
Though it'd be hard to write her without her stealing too much of the show away from everyone else.
Anyhoo yes this is an amazing series. This and the Luna progress series are some of the best MLP fanfics out there.
I absolutely love these fics! XD
ReplyDeleteI laughed, I d'awed, and I think I had a tear in my eye at one point.
Bravo!
I dont want this to end. EVER.
ReplyDeleteI bet Blueblood slammed the phone down partway through the rant, but Scratch is a born radio personality, so she just kept right on going for the benefit of the listeners. And since Blueblood didn't hear the last part, he'll only have his own self to blame when his theater gets snowed under by rock fans!
ReplyDeleteThat was by far THE best comedy fanfic I've ever laid my eyes on, I can't stop crying tears of laughter. You HAVE to keep this stuff up!

After chapter 1 I thought it was neat, didn't think too much more 'bout it.
ReplyDeleteJust finished chap 2, and I am tripping over myself trying to get to chap 3, via this little box here where I am frantically trying to arrive upon my point:
Ohmygoshohmygoshohmygosh AWESOME!
scratch is now my favorite background pony after derpy (you cannot top derpy, she's simply the best there is)
ReplyDeletethe fic is wonderful by the way
