    6. Just read it.
      Oh my god.
      That is hilarious xD

      @Grif
      How the heck did you got the idea for THAT?
      xD

    7. Aww DAMMIT, and here I was hoping to eventually get the monopoly on this ship! Oh well. I'll wait a bit before I unleash my own creation upon EqD.

    8. Very creepy and weird, but in a good way. Liked it a lot, good work.

    9. @Grif This is fine, nothing you should be ashamed of. You've done well in portraying Lyra's mind. Easy to follow and nothing too hard to get a grasp of.

      I thoroughly enjoyed it. Even so, others might have issues with it but take it with a grain of salt eh.

      Also I'm glad you changed your mind about posting it here hehe ;)

    10. Needs 6 alternate endings.
      NAO.

    11. The HELL did I just read....

      oh well screw it.... 5 stars! lol

      ReplyDelete
    12. Where the hell have you been Grif? Do you know how sparse Lyra content is in fanfics? :P

      Reading now...

      ReplyDelete
    13. Really strange,but...good.

      ReplyDelete
    14. That has to be one of the more...interesting fics I've read so far XD

      ReplyDelete
    15. Woah. What did I just read? It was so...weird. Well written, mind you...but really freaking weird.

      ReplyDelete
    16. Just for the record, I approve of this rampant insanity! (Or is that ponysanity?)

      ReplyDelete
    17. ...What did I just read?

      ReplyDelete
    18. I shat brix at the ending, and beginning...and middle.

      Also I love the references to Out in the Cold. :P

      ReplyDelete
    19. What. The. F*ck. I'm really not sure how to feel about this right now.

      ReplyDelete
    20. She did move to Ponyville with Twilight Sparkle after all, so I guess it makes sense.

      ReplyDelete
    21. When the ship hits the fan...

      Nice work, I dare say.

      ReplyDelete
    22. I'm strangely okay with this.

      Lyra needs to be shipped with more than just Bon Bon.

      ReplyDelete
    23. Okay, this is my fourth try at writing a comment describing how amazing this is, but I just can't find the words beyond well-written, easy to follow while still being bat-s*** crazy, and Inception ain't got nothing on this when it comes to complexity. 5 stars.

      ReplyDelete
    24. We finally get a story focusing on Lyra (and mostly with Bon-Bon)....and it's this.

      Poor darling Lyra :-(

      ReplyDelete
    25. Wow. Just wow. That's all I can say. And I've been lurking on giantitp for ages so I understood ALL the references XD

      For those of you wondering, Lyra's imaginary friends are all avatars of posters on another forum :P

      ReplyDelete
    26. Well that's... uh... I don't exactly know what that is...

      ReplyDelete
    27. So... many comments! Thank ye for all your kind responses. Seriously. You bronies warm my insane heart.

      @Conner Cogworks
      And I would read that! Fandom needs more Lyra nao.

      @Flatterscheu
      Two words. Pony threads.

      @EsperDerek
      Yesssshhhhhhhhh! Ponysanity!

      @Coffee Grunt
      Have an internet cookie for spotting that.

      @Anon11:36
      I have a feeling we chatted before on DA. :p

      @Anon1:01
      Hohoho. We have a spy! Ha, I challenge ye to spot all the references I crammed in. I dare ya!

    28. Oh my God, what did I just read?
      That was horribly scary, I don't even know what happened.
      IT'S BLACK OPS ALL OVER AGAIN.

      ReplyDelete
    29. Black Ops sucked. Just sayin'.

      @Grif

      Internet cookies? Boy those ethereal, digital, inedible ones are the best kind!

      ReplyDelete
    30. ...the hell is this.

      Really though that was crazy.

      ReplyDelete
    31. This is completely bat-shit insane.
      And I loved it.

      ReplyDelete
    32. Ah, the insanity of the GITP pony threads. This story is like all of that madness distilled into poor Lyra.

      ReplyDelete
    33. By far one of the creepiest fanfics I've ever seen.

      Part of me wishes the torture scene was a tad longer. (no, I don't take pleasure in reading that)

      I can't get the thoughts of a possible sequel out of my head. Twilight Sparkle, after noting Lyra's disillusion state, tries what she can to help Lyra out. Only thing is, Twilight has no idea about the nature of Lyra's hallucinations.

      ReplyDelete
    34. Heh, pretty funny stuff there. Kind of puts Lyra's separation from Bon Bon in later episodes in perspective.

      Nice job on making out of character Lyra... believable. Although I wasn't expecting this as written, especially with the cute little picture of Lyra prancing happily.

      ReplyDelete
    35. Now, if you replace "Twlight Sparkle" with "Lyra", and "Lyra" with "Phoe"...

      ReplyDelete
    36. Oh no, not Lyra cheating on Bon-Bon again! Also, Bon's not a unicorn...

      This has a lot of tense issues, which keep pulling me out of the story. You should read up on how to use the subjunctive aspect. Lyra's headponies are an interesting touch, at least. Making her a complete nutter? You certainly went the extra mile.

      Wait, who is this Shimmer? Real or not?

      Umm, well, the twist ending made me like this more, it explained all the bizarre things that didn't make much sense. I think the very ending was a little vaguely 'gotcha', though. If this had been an honest sendup of the entire concept of shipping, it would have really gone somewhere. I dunno, it was all right.

    37. @Grif

      Anon 1:01 here. Yeeeeah okay, maybe not ALL the references. Looking over it again there were a few I didn't get (i.e, I'm sure "Lone Star from Magic School" is a ref to something) and probably a few more I missed. Oh well. CHALLENGE DENIED

      ReplyDelete
    38. This story... Was insane to say the least

      ReplyDelete
    39. I guess you could say

      (Puts on glasses)

      Her train went swimming in the piano.

      YYEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!!

      ReplyDelete
    40. @Grif where did you get the name "shimmer" for the tied up pony... dammit that's been my ponyname for 6 months now XP

      ReplyDelete
    41. I kind of want a sequel to this. I don't know why though. I'm a bit confused but I think I quite enjoyed this.

      ReplyDelete
    42. @Shimmer
      It's based on a fellow forumer ponytar. So any similarities are purely coincidental. :p

      @Anon 1:03
      Well, there were some very obscure references I threw it for the fun which only I could understand. "Lone Star" was one of them. Heh.

      ReplyDelete
    43. @Present Perfect
      Darnit, forgot about this.

      Fixed the Bon-Bon is a unicorn bit. Thanks for the catch.

      ReplyDelete
    44. Throughout this whole story all i could think was "Whut?", it made me feel weird because Lyra is one of my favorite ponies. Good story no doubt, just weird lol.

      P.S. I also wanted to thank you for a drawing idea, Kaiser Wearing Monocle'd Falcon, i lawl'd

      ReplyDelete
    45. I've always enjoyed the stories where the main character is at odds with their surroundings and yet try to justify their actions. It is a very delicious kind of stubborness.
      Reminds me of one of the first fics I read on this site, "The Disease", which was an enjoyable read.

      Nitpick:
      //“Gentleponies!” a blue stallion called in a distinctly French voice.//
      Can you describe a voice as french? Wouldn't it be a french accent?

      My only dissappointment was the dream-ending. It was well done but I've never been fond of 'em.

    46. Hurr, Lyra, you so crazy.

      HELL IS THAT NOISE.
