    4. Friend-shipping is only shipping I can stand. Might check this one out.

    5. Lyra, Bon Bon... and friendshipping? Is such a thing possible?

      Actually, it's a cute little story; nothing deep, but a nice look at a strong friendship between two fairly different mares. I'd like to see more stories in this vein with these two. And more Twist, too, to be honest.

    6. What's the difference between "friendshipping" and "shipping"?

    7. @ShadowsPony Shipping contains themes of dating or romance, or falling in love. Friendshipping is more along the lines of emotional intimacy - characters that are really close and care a lot about each other but the text doesn't imply that it's romantic in nature.

    8. Lyra and Bon-Bon as... just friends?

      But... but... NOOO- *head explodes*

      I believe friendshipping is just deepening the bond of friendship between two characters, nothing romantic, like you would see in the show.

      Shipping on the other hand is more about love and romance.

      Friendshipping is what the show does.

      Shipping is what fanfiction does when two characters fall head over hooves for each other. Can involve sexual themes, but most resolve in a kiss or implied sexual activity.

    11. A Lyra and Bon Bon fic... that isn't shipping...

      I'm definitely going to read this. I've never liked the idea of Lyra and Bon Bon being more than just friends.

    12. Oh oh ooohhh... That makes sense. I might read this, then.

      ReplyDelete
    13. Yes...YES! No kissing for THESE ponies! MWHAHAHAHA!!!

      ...They have make out and still have sloppy love time in the end, don't they?

    14. This story was sweet. It's a great example of what good friends are, just like Bon Bon and Lyra during the parasprite invasion. During that scene, Bon Bon doesn't gasp when the parasprite eats her cake but she does when it eats Lyra's cake.

      Isn't that the sign of a good friend? She cares more about someone else's well being than her own.

      Here's the clip so you can see what I mean.

    15. Nice to read a story about these two that isn't shipping(and I say that as a LyraBon fan).I really and truly enjoyed it!!

    16. FINALLY SOMETHING INVOLVING LYRA AND BON BON THAT ISN'T LESBIAN SHIPPING!

      I'm sorry, I find the shipping adorable sometimes, but where there are NO other interpretations of the relationship it just gets disgusting.

      Also, I read the disclaimer in Heavy Weapons Guy's voice.

    18. You. Made. Lyra. Bald.

    19. This is a solid piece of work.

      There were several technical problems with this though, if not anything wrong in the story itself.

      For instance, some spelling errors and paragraph timing spaces needs to be adjusted

    20. Personally, I thought this was an amazing read. In particular, Lyra's I HAVE PINK HAIR AND I'M NOT AFRAID TO USE IT moment.

      Seriously though, this was an awesome piece. Thanks for sharing it with us. X3

      OH GOD WHAT

      @sleepingcobrox

      Tell me! I want to make this as good as it can be!

    22. This was an excellent story! I hope you do more with these two, they're too good to keep in just one fic.

      ReplyDelete
    23. A very nice story.
      I like the idea of Twist becoming Bon Bons apprentice.

    24. Clicked the link in the story about "Rainbow Bits". Read the story Skittles!!!

      I want some Rainbow Bits and some Spicy Rainbow Muffins!, then I want to compare their amazing flavor to the original source! LOL!!!

    25. Did this story take place shortly after the CMC's ill-fated attempt at making taffy?

      ReplyDelete
    26. @Blaze3713

      Probably. Though that taffy machine is nightmare any day of the week.

      ReplyDelete
    27. From the description, I could easily believe that thing has been nothing but trouble for poor Bon Bon. I'm also willing to bet that she was the one who had to pull the CMC out of the darn thing.

    28. For those who might be wondering(and even still reading the comments), Friendshipping is Phileo love. Phileo love is the love and bond between friends. It is neither sexual or romantic. Just friends. Therefore... Friendshipping is best shipping!!!
