I'm definitely reading this. Anything that brings back memories of Calvin & Hobbes and National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation is a winning recipe in my book.

ReplyDeleteYou lost me at the Rainbow Dash part. Another wonderful read from The Descendant.
ReplyDeleteBaaaahahaha! It ripped out his accent...!
ReplyDeleteBRB laughing forever. Sterling work.
This story was hillarious. Yet, as seems to be par with your stories, there are two problems that keep me from giving it a perfect five:
ReplyDeleteOne: You sometimes let a joke go too far. Magic is hilarious, and you expertly coaxed laughter out of me plenty of times throughout the fic, but some of the jokes were really stretching it too far. It just seemed implausible at times, even for MLP and magic. It only caused small lulls in my laughter of course, since you always came up with a new joke to bring it out again. Just a little bit too late to sustain it throughout.
A personal opinion I suppose. Otherwise a lovely writing style, reminds me a bit about Douglas Adams really.
Second: Please, for the love of Celestia, stop assuming your readers know all your fanon.
Making up titles and a backstory is awesome! But randomly referring too it in a one off and assuming your reader understand it, that's just bad. What am I suppose to think it means that Twilight is a "summoner" and Spike is her "designate"? It's never explained. In fact, I've read four or five of your fics, and I still don't know what it means. It really wrenches me right out of any immersion I have in the story, when something is thrown in so seemingly randomly.
That's really the only big complaints I have. Especially the second one always annoys me.
Anyway, otherwise excellent story. I really enjoy your comedic power.
This is less than stellar.
ReplyDeleteLooks like some one took the idea of the ASCA TM and roled with it. :P
ReplyDeleteI haven't laughed this hard since yesterday, when I found myself on TVTropes.
