ReplyDeleteI don't see what the big deal about being first is.
ReplyDeleteThat being said...FIRST
@Chris Lowery WRONG!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteSuddenly, Luna in socks instead of epic Nightmare Moon picture.
ReplyDeleteWhat.
You know, I really didn't plan on reading this, but now that you've got the Luna in socks pic on here instead of the epic NMM one... I strangely want to read it now.
ReplyDeleteDid this story's picture get jacked for the next one? Harsh. Anyway, interesting concept, something similar has been marinating in my brain for a while now, so I think I'll give this a read.
ReplyDeleteAlso, my OCD wants to rate it 5-stars but since it's a fic my better judgement is just barely winning. There's a nice piece of info for ya.
To all those confused. The original Image was a commission for Solar Flare, Seth just made a mistake. So enjoy your Luna in socks.
ReplyDeleteStory-In-A-Story?
ReplyDeleteStorception.
@Dawid
ReplyDeleteWe need to go deeper.
Oh, and I, too, like Luna in socks.
What's the big deal with Luna having socks?
ReplyDelete...No seriously.Why everyone keep saying "Luna in socks!YEAAAAAAAAH!"?(Fetish,maybe?)
I actually missed that she was wearing socks. But I looked and indeed, she has socks.
ReplyDeleteThis is less a comment on the image and more on something that we're about to see: Ditzy Doo, Bearer of the Element of "Let's Get Dangerous". (Also known as 'Big Damn Hero'.)
ReplyDeleteLove the way Diamond Tiara is portrayed in a more sympathetic light here, and the inference she and Dinky are distantly related.
ReplyDeleteHowever, what won me over was the format of it being told as a chronicle. It gives it a Princess Bride or Neverending Story flair. Kudos.
Also, crossover with the G1 mythos? Isn't there a rule about not crossing generations of the same franchise over? Something about Total Canon Reversal?
Either way, a good read with a few minor grammar errors. 4.5 stars from me.
I gotta say, I enjoyed this. Nice work, looking forward to reading the rest of it.
ReplyDeleteEhehehehe, socks...
ReplyDeleteHello Readers, Author Sithicus here, just wanted to say I'm glad some of you are enjoying the story and such, too bad I was in bed when the NMM pic was up, so I'm not sure what happened there.
ReplyDeleteThat being said Luna your wearing of socks seems to have stolen the comments away from the epic tale within a tale. Oh well. ;)
I now have a few questions for the readers, and I do me a few.
1) Shutterfly wants to change her name to something more in keeping with her desire to have a better name than the one 'mommy' gave her. What are your suggestions on the name she should pick, because I really feel Shutterfly is a poor name for her.
2) Ditzy Doo, Carrot Top, Bon-Bon, Lyra, Vinyl Scratch, Background Ponies, Yay! Who should Pegasus #2 be. (Ditzy Pegasus, Bon-Bon and CT Earth, Lyra and Vinyl Unicorn, perhaps this question is too much of a big hint as to what's going to happen next, but I seriously need a background Pegasus to choose and I can't for the life of me figure that one out. As I don't know any besides Ditzy very well.)
Anyway, that is all I have to say on the matter. Please enjoy Rise of the Shadow Ponies as it was always meant to be.
Oh yes and one final thing, haven't you heard? Ponyville = Families and Everypony related to somepony else. *CHuckles*
Why must you taunt me with Luna in socks?
ReplyDeleteCONFOUND THAT LUNA (IN SOCKS)
ReplyDeleteSHE DRIVES ME TO LOVE HER MORE
Hmm, this looks really interesting and I would love to see how this goes; other than a couple of typos it was great, so I voted a 4/5. Very good effort. :)
ReplyDeleteI was very intrigued the whole way through, very excited for more!
ReplyDeleteLuna in Socks makes everything better.
ReplyDeleteI've got to read this! I just find myself wondering, have you ever watched Danger Mouse? The announcer does what you did in the description all the time.
ReplyDeleteAbout the only pegasus that comes to mind is the one called 'Raindrops'; she was the one standing next to Ditzy during "Feeling Pinkie Keen" after our hero accidentally dropped heavy objects on a lavender unicorn.
ReplyDelete{minor spoiler alert!!!} Gawd, I love Pinkie and Rocky road in this one! Though Rocky road's sudden attitude change struck me as odd. She started as kind of like... well, Pinkie pie. Complete and utter randomness, fourth wall comments, and of course that clairvoyance thing. Then all of the sudden, right before meeting pinkie she's all gloom and whatnot. Wassup wit dat?
ReplyDeleteWE NEED ANOTHER CHAPTER
