^^^If this was just a one-off thing of yours I'd just tell you that I hope you feel better soon {And I still do}. But you've been feeling this shitty constantly. Like me and Adric have told you, I really think you should go see a therapist or something.

I think it's beautiful!

Though, I was under the impression that each of our chapters would also be set as chapters on fim fiction as well, rather than one huge masterpost.

@Marcen: Yeah, if this is a recurring thing you should definitely see a therapist or something. I really hope you start feeling better, but there's only so much I can do to help.

[up]Yeah, the weirdness is more pronounced when the various chunks aren't clearly separated.

@Meta: Looks good.

Ah yes, The Battle Chimps. I wonder if the person who followed me picked up on that reference.

I had no idea it was supposed to be a reference to something.

On a side note, I was trying to thumb up the story on fimfic, and it took me a while to realize that clicking on the thumb was actually doing something. The only visual confirmation is that the thumb changes color. Do they just hate colorblind people or what?

Admittedly, it's been a while since it was actually referenced in the thread. It's the Battle Chimps that Sereg used to joke about, back in the day.

At least, I think it was Sereg.

Anyways, the idea was that ponies would train Chimps to use weapons, then strap them onto their backs as they went into battle, and the Chimps would attack anything around them. Battle Chimps!

EDIT: It's kind of strange to see people complaining about the length of it. Parents of Ponyville was just as long, and DATASS Epic Adventure was even longer. I noticed in my last story as well, that people were saying that as little as 10K word chapters were 'monsters'.

Honestly. It's like these people have never read whole novels in a single sitting, the cowards.

If I'm not mistaken, there's even a bookmark feature for when you need to stop midway. It's not like anyone's forcing you to read the entire thing in one sitting. (I tried that for the time travel RR, and my brain was a puddle of mush about 2/3 of the way through.)

On a side node, I found it interesting that the 3rd round robin was twice as big as the first two, but everything after that's been about the same.

Anyway, I read the new RR in one sitting, but it took me all evening to do so.

That's because they changed how the up/down votes display a few months (maybe even a year) ago. For the first ten votes or so, the vote numbers aren't displayed, and the green/red bar is completely greyed out. (Unless you're the author of the fic, in which case you see all the votes immediately.) The idea was to prevent early voters from having a disproportionate effect on a story's success.

At least, I think it was Sereg.

Anyways, the idea was that ponies would train Chimps to use weapons, then strap them onto their backs as they went into battle, and the Chimps would attack anything around them. Battle Chimps!

IIRC, that joke originally came about as the answer to, "How would cavalry work in a pony army?" Clearly, the cavalry are the ponies who strap battle chimps onto their backs.

It was me and yes, it was in response to that question. Though we didn't specify chimps at the time. The words used were "trained war monkeys".

Cuz I know it happened in Code Geass.

I remember when I was trying to write a King Arthur fic (which I still want to finish eventually) I wrote a 10K word battle scene...mostly in one night, to boot.

For making a trope page for the latest Round Robin story, I know of one trope that could be added: What Happened to the Mouse? Or, in the case of this story, what happened to the dog? Blossom simply disappears from the story partway through (I think around the time the bat and lizard ponies show up). Which is understandable given the nature of how the story was written, of course. [lol]

I also noticed that her fur color got changed from orange to pink, which is probably just an error caused by the "you can only read the chapter before yours" rule where whoever said her fur was pink didn't see my initial chapter that said she was orange. I then realized that from a different perspective, it could be seen as Fridge Brilliance—taking Pinkie's soul affected her appearance and changed her own fur color to match Pinkie's!

Not just Blossom. Aside from Daring, Maud, Pinkie, Gummy, and Boulder, everyone else just disappeared from the story once Daring and Maud fell down the hole and fought those frogs. And then a bunch of new characters showed up to fill the gap.
