First for once?
ReplyDeleteWoo storys.
ReplyDeleteya my 2# for once yay
ReplyDeleteWhooopsy a little late.
ReplyDeleteSadly nothing I am reading.
ReplyDeleteUpheaval updates, yay!
ReplyDeleteHmmm, nothing I'm reading. I was wondering, is Upheaval: Breaking Point good? I was staying away for it for quite some time due to the grimdark tag. It seems to update in almost every update post
ReplyDeleteIs that true. Can you really put a rose in a rose. Like having something exploded twice?
ReplyDeleteMy goodness, so many sad fics.
ReplyDeleteI'm almost scared to check Upheaval because Hory Shet! 40 Parts! O_O (and unfinished)
ReplyDeleteAnd I just come from finishing FO:E... I don't think my body is ready for so much fanfic.
Wah! Still a major lack of "Through the Eyes of Another Pony"! Why doesn't it update? Why!?!
ReplyDeleteTo everyone that's on the fence about reading Upheavel, have you seen anything bad about?
ReplyDelete@ThunderIce
ReplyDeletei was just about to ask that myself! :)
40 chapters... goodness thats one big story. I bet they're pretty short though.
As an addendum to my previous comment, do not include the bitching about Twilight.... "getting hurt" on the story's EQD page.
ReplyDeleteUpheaval AGAIN?! Dear God, does someone have that man chained to a desk grinding out chapters or something?
ReplyDelete@Thunderice it's not that grimdark on a scale of 1-5, where 5 is cupcakes, it's a 2, it's grimdark in the same way that Lord of the Rings is grimdark (e.g. fantasy fighting)
ReplyDelete@gato the updates aren't that long, I think they're 2-3 pages long (not like FO:E, where the updates were 10+ pages long) it's not in google docs so I can't tell how long they are
oh yeah a rose is a rose was the first story i started reading whenever i discovered this fandom guess i should catch up.
ReplyDeleteWell Fluttershy is best Fluttershy I suppose
ReplyDeleteA Rose is A Rose,
ReplyDeleteBut You my Sweet Petunia,
Is a Rose that My Nose only Knows,
Huh - I'd have thought It Takes a Village would be here, since it updated last night
ReplyDelete@Aust Kyzor
ReplyDeleteI thought that update was "update complete"
Nothing here I would enjoy reading. All grimdark and sad. I thought My Little Pony was a happy show, too.
ReplyDeleteI hate updates like these.
Wow, I just have to say Upheaval is an example of a condition known as Power Updating. Symptoms include making authors like me jealous at your self-discipline.
ReplyDeleteAnyways...
*continues to sit patiently in the lobby waiting for The Power of Carrot Compels You to update*
A Rose is a Rose is an awesome story everyone should read. If the show was exactly the same but with a more mature rating this is what it would be like.
ReplyDeleteRain without Rainbows! Grimdark w/ Faustian themes, HUZZAH!
ReplyDeleteI want to give more fics a shot. So many update that look good to me, yet I'm already awash with fics on my to-read list.
ReplyDeleteCursed ponies, why must I have a life?!
@Jimperator who needs a life when you have ponies?
ReplyDelete@mycutiemarkisagun Bwahahaha, huzzah indeed!
ReplyDeleteRain without Rainbows finally updated?
ReplyDeleteI was thinking it never would 0_o
I'm beginning to think Upheaval was a major reason for these types of posts...
ReplyDelete@ThunderIce
ReplyDeleteI'd call it more dark than grimdark, though there's certainly room for that to change. So far, though, there hasn't been all that much gore. If you have any interest at all in warfics, I'd put it at the top of your list; it's the most believable war scenario I've read, and it also reminds me of Jim Butcher's Codex Alera, which can in no way be a bad thing.
Bottom line: if you like badass ponies, this fic is for you.
