ReplyDeleteAlso, Seth, why has Reharmonized never been on Equid? It's easily the best fanfic series I've ever seen on anything.
not first
ReplyDelete3RD!!!!
ReplyDelete@Videogame9 See? I was right!
ReplyDeleteI shall now listen to my first dramatic reading....
ReplyDeleteHope it's good =D
@moocow1452
ReplyDeleteHmm, first I have heard of it. Send it to the submit account and we'll check it out.
@Calpain we're in the same boat. I've never heard of it, but the way I find a lot of the best things is by suggestions, so i'm expecting some great things!
ReplyDeleteEmail is in the tubes. And link is here.

Chronologically, it takes place after the Discorded Series, but really doesn't need it for context. Be warned though that though this arc is completed, new Pony POV stuff is in the author's general account.

ReplyDeleteGlad I'm not alone! I watch a lot in the fandom, but there is still so much I miss. Confound this creative fanbase!:)
Discorded/Reharmonized series are amazing! I've discovered these fics a couple of weeks ago (thanks again, HMorris73!) and they firmly took place in my personal top 3 of pony fiction together with FoE and Twilight Sky.
ReplyDeleteBoth series focus on character introspection and development during and after Discord's brief return to Equestia. Reharmonized series is a bit more action orientated, dealing with several plots happening parallel and between the canon season 2. Without spoiling anything, there's a lot of awesome and emotional stuff going around and some very strong worldbuilding. Author shows great attention to detail going as far as going back to previous chapters and editing them to make sure they don't contradict information revealed in new TV episodes.
These fics were already sent to EqD, but for some reason I can't imagine they didn't make it through.
@Calpain i've found many things from this fandom- Scatman John, yoshi's island music box is the soviet union's national anthem, epic music, epic art, Voltaire, ah, the list is endless!
ReplyDeleteQUICK EVERYONE!!! look up ACTA and help spread the word! SOPA was a distraction! the governments planned to pass this one behind our backs! RAISE AWARENESS, STOP ACTA!!!
ReplyDelete@Calpain but, most importantly, it has given me friends. The embedded post, along with the next two, are filled with friendship. It is truly miraculous
ReplyDelete@Calpain Suddenly, I don't feel so guilty that I miss a lot of the creative material that is put out there. There's only so much time I can spend at the computer, and even if I could, there's no way I can get to it all. I didn't even know about these stories until this popped up.
ReplyDeletewith that out of the way, I really enjoyed these readings. Love how they serve as a sort of window into the ponies' minds when they were under Discords influence. Some of them sure got dramatic, namely Pinkie's story. That one had to be my pick of the six.
This...is pretty dang good. Will read both Discorded and Reharmonized series.
ReplyDelete@CityFlyer502
ReplyDeleteSame here, City. I'm glad others make us aware of what we miss and that we work as a team to find stuff that we can't find individually. The pony fandom runs deep on the internet and it's quite an effort to dig up as much as we can.
The main reason that the POV series isn't up on EQD is basically the grammar and spelling, which is patchy. Some of that's from the nature of it (Dash isn't going to have perfect grammar as a narrator, for starters) but the rest is currently being proofed and checked for. I'm involved with that, in fact. The Discorded section's fairly clean owing to its' greater age.
ReplyDeleteThese are incredible work. They're mildly disturbing, but in a very good way. I'm curious how much they've been adapted and/or abridged; I'll just have to read the originals to find out.
ReplyDeleteI applaud all those involved.
It was time they noticed those stories. they are great!.
ReplyDeleteThe link to episode 6 is broken. It points somewhere between 10 and 11 minutes from the start of the video (a different place each time you click it).
ReplyDeleteEpisode 6 is 20 minutes long. All are very good, depressing but good. I'll be interested in what happens next.
ReplyDeleteOh god oh god oh god.
ReplyDeletePinkie's story....I...I think I need to lie down a bit...Hmm, I though I fixed the broken pipe in my eyes after My Little Dashie. I guess not then. Oh god Trixie's story made it break even more!
ReplyDelete@Shantara
ReplyDeleteNo problem, I'm glad you like it! It's in my top three as well, expect my other two are The Ballad of Twilight Sparkle and The Best Night Ever.
It's nice to see Pony POV Series finally getting some attention on EQD, hopefully the fic itself will be getting its own post before too long. Oh and Fluttershy and Fluttercruel are best ponies.
It's great to see Alex Warlorn's stories finally getting some notice on EqD.
ReplyDeleteOh god if this is what I think it is, then this is amazing. Of course it's also terrifying, envisioning all this while reading it wasn't something I'd call pleasant, but it was REALLY well done.
ReplyDeleteThese readings were great! I really liked Pinkie
ReplyDeletePie's. I never thought I would feel bad for Trixie. I look forward to hearing Twilight's.
Oh man! I never thought that these would get posted here! I'm so happy everyone liked Pinkie's. That was a difficult chapter to pull off, at least vocally. I think I almost strained something while recording it.
ReplyDeletePinkie and Trixie is SOOOOOO sad......
ReplyDeleteTwilight Sparkle part has been released:

Hi um.... Is it okey that I say this brought tears to my eyes and um thank you for yur time
ReplyDeleteThe Bad End Epilogue has been released
ReplyDeletehttp://youtu.be/c3HPDI9Odbc
Be prepared for extreme depression and sadness, especially near the end. Hope Spot plus Jerk the Dog's Chain. Also, like with the Trixie chapter the entire thing is illustrated!
Just finished reading them all, and have to say it was so well thought out and brilliantly written.
ReplyDeleteGreat work on epilogue! And the recruitment video for Reharmonized series in hilarious!
ReplyDeleteI have only one question... Why does this post have an image with Inkie? I think the using last image from epilogue with all discorded Mane would give a perfect impression of the series.

ReplyDeleteThis was really great, I hope they can get all the people they need for Reharmonized and we see that on here too (as well as the actual fic).
ReplyDeleteThese are so depressing but I love them. I have always liked unhappy endings. So foreign to what we have come to expect.
ReplyDelete@L4R63N7
ReplyDeleteI'm not usually a fan of them, but fortunately things are better in the Reharmonized series.
Thats it I cant listen to anymore of these.i got up to fluttershy and thats when I died inside.
ReplyDeleteDoes this make me a bad person,im sorry plz forgive me it just hurts me so much to see/hear fluttershy sad/mad I was crying after words*sniff*.I realy can relate to fluttershy thats why I like her so much.So again plz forgive me :(.
Ps.plz forgive my outburst it wont happen again I promise.
@moocow1452 Apparently, it's because Applejack's accent is too thick. ...which is complete crap.
ReplyDeleteFunny how the audio adaptation was allowed but not the actual fanfic...
