• Story Updates January 22 (Evening)


    Trixie, get back to China.  What are you doing in Twilight's library? That's just creepy.

    Have some story updates. 

    Story: My First Party (Update Part 3!)

    [Adventure][Shipping][Slightly Sad]

    Author: ScyStorm
    Description: Pinkie Pie is haunted by feelings of self-hatred,
    stemming from the day she left her family to be on her own. Never
    wanting to see her best friend in a crazed state of distress again,
    Rainbow Dash resolves to reconnect her with her estranged family and
    bring an end to the personal demons once and for all.

    Story: Fillystata (Update Story 2 Part 13!)


    [Grimdark][Shipping] I usually avoid Grimdark like the plague, but due to reasons completely out of my control, I gave it a shot anyway.  I was completely hooked after just two chapters, and the nightly roundup ended up an hour late because of it! This story is just straight up awesome. Anyway have a pre-reader quote too!

    "A terrifying suspenseful and gripping tale, portraying the sinister side of magic" - Pre-reader with a WoW name.

    Author: Adcoon
    Description: During the festivities of the Fabulous Fabled Filly Fair held in the village of Dappleshore, Twilight Sparkle stumbles upon something from her family's past and is drawn to investigate its dark ties to her. Will she succumb to its sinister power, and will Trixie and Luna be able to set their differences aside to help her when her friends are gone?

    Or so she thought.

    6. @BruteForceFTW i'm still waiting for the following fanfics to update: Trancendence, On a Cross and Arrow, Fallout: Equestria, Past Sins, and Cupcakes.

    7. Yay beyond judgement


      ...just read it, darn cliffhangers! But you can't put off the confrontation anymore. I can't wait for the next chapter!

    8. I'm starting to wonder why I even check these updates anymore. It's not like my stories ever get updated.

    9. I would read the latest part on Beyond Judgement now, but I've been putting the new chapter VST off for the past day for multiple reasons. I'll most likely read VST first then.

      This is not going to end well...

    12. For anyone that's ever taken honors classes, that top image should definitely ring a bell. I know it does for me. As it seems to be the case, nothing I'm reading got updated, but it gives me a good excuse to start something new.

    13. Okaaaay.
      A competition for you guys.
      I need a new fic to read. The first answer to this post will decide, what I'm going to read next. I prefer grimdark/shipping/adventure mixtures or any of the above.

      Be nice colts and pick something good for me! (No Fallouts)

    15. @MlpFox
      Well, this might not be an actual answer but it's 3:20 am so I'll take it. Beyond Judgment it is.

    16. Wow, I need to stop looking at these story updates. I still have all of Fallout: Equestria, most of Pink Eyes, and everything but the first chapter of Project Horizons. Oh, and Winter Magic Academy and all 252 unread chapters on Fimfiction. Yeah... And on top of all that I'm trying to balance school, family time, and the writing of 8 stories simultaneously.

    17. Darn, nothing I'm reading...
      Wait, what's this story..."Spyra"?

      No sleep tonight!

    18. two storys im reading. bad thing is i have to work soon.

    19. I think Fillystata is the most intense fic I've ever read. It really captures the intensitiy and mood in the verbiage unbelievably well. And it definitely emulates Lovecrafts suspension of disbelief.
      Love it!

      Aren't most of those over? Or did I miss the joke?

    21. I'm thinking Trixie's "Get back in China" is her new "Get back in the kitchen" for her.

      ReplyDelete
    22. @MisterTTG No joke, Transcendence is still continuing and Fallout: Equestria has some DLC stories that are updating. The Original Fallout: Equestria, however, is infact over.

    23. @Bombedrumbum

      Um... Fallout Equestria (the original), Past Sins, and On a Cross and Arrow are all complete.

      On a Cross and Arrow, hinted at a second story, and as far as I know, it's not started, other than a teaser chapter.

      The story that I'm feeling most scared about, is "Paradise".
      http://www.equestriadaily.com/2011/02/story-paradise.html
      This is such a beautiful story, but it's not been updated since September /)T_T(\

      Other fics that I worry about are "Divergence" and "The Sun is Tired". I like BOTH stories, but they have also been hit by enough haters that I feel the writers may have gotten tired of it.

      I will NEVER UNDERSTAND the drive of haters. "Herp derp, I don't like this thing I hate, so I'm gonna waste all my time stickin' around here reading this thing I hate and telling you and your fans how retarded I think you and your story is, blah, blah, blah, herp derp..." If people don't like things, then LEAVE! It NEVER ceases to amaze me how much time haters are willing to DEDICATE on the things they hate.

      OK... end rant.

      I do love so many stories that post here. My 3DS can only hold 64 bookmarks... and they are all full. EqD, a 3DS website, and 62 story links! LOL I do love this fandom's creativity, and now I get to read an update on Beyond Judgment!

      Growing Pains

      Grimdark, adventure, and some definitely implied shipping.

      It's got your trifecta!

      Oh Luna, the grimdark is grim, but so far, it's OC grim... Think redshirts in Star Trek. No main character has been killed, but they have been to the edge of their lives or sanity at points in the story. OCs... they can die. At one point in the story, hundreds. Updates can be spaced far apart, but chapters tend to be EPIC long. Some chapters are longer than other whole FICS! For example, Chapter 21 was 21200 words, Chapter 22 was 15589 words long, and 23 was 4870 (chapter 22 and 23 were intended to be a single chapter).

      It is one of the stories that if it's 2:30 AM, and I am tired as can be, and I see it updated... I read it, even if I have to stay up another hour or two.

      There's even a badflank Derpy chapter and a Big Mac saves ponyville chapter... To say they go to hell and back... ... If you read the story, that statement has SO MUCH more meaning!

      Just go and read it, but don't start it if you have any responsibilities or job to do that day... YOU WILL be drawn into it's tale, just like the gaping maw of a **spoilers-redacted**!

    25. I wanted an excuse not to do my homework, but this one didn't have anything I am reading D:

      Divergence is fine; the author has just been distracted from writing as he attended his city's chapter of the "Occupy Wall Street" movement.
