A thread to discuss My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic and the tie-in media.

All of the usual forum rules apply. In addition, please remember that the thread is discussing a kids' show, and it's primarily focused on the work itself, not the fanfic — in particular, we don't want to see lewdness creeping in.

I don't know WHAT the Hell happened (I blame shenanigans) but we're going to start from scratch. Post your feels for this awesome show again! Naow!

Yeah, I'd be cool with closing this one and maybe starting a second story. Give us the opportunity to try something else.

Well, the story itself isn't exactly at a good ending point anyway. It's more at the rising action part, maybe the the end of the second act at the latest.

Yes, I'm applying the Three Act Structure to a collaborative story with no intentional organization.

I probably should've put more effort into my part of the story.

You know, if you guys ever want that round-robin fic to finish, you're going to have to bar entry after some point. There's no rule saying there can't be a round two, and any new people can maybe get priority or something.

Well we're nearly out already. If Brahian hadn't come back, we'd probably be on the last chapter by now. Speaking of which, I guess this means Brahian should try to start wrapping the story up.

@Meta: Honestly, it might be funnier if it just suddenly ends at a totally wrong point.

ending at an unintentional anticlimax would just be even better. And make it a Gainax Ending to boot.

Then we don't you do your own story that has that kind of ending? BTW, good morning, everyone.

Writing a story of my own is more serious than "sure would love this ending". I would not take that kind of approach there. While this stuff is fair game :D

Like the book An Imperial Affliction in the book The Fault in Our Stars.

Or you could invoke Candlejack. Then again, it's a pretty outdated

@Lumin That's why I always write a story map whenever I write a story. I wrote an Ed, Edd and Eddy story that has split opinions, but to me, it's my personal fav. Alright, it doesn't follow canon that well but I kind of meant it. I wrote a map of each chapter and what was included. Looking at what seems forced and take it out, what seems alright and left in. Yes, the story is flawed but, to a lot of people, it's a step up from my other fanfic stories.

Look. All I said is "writing a random Gainax ending for this round robin would be fun, but I already did a chapter for it, so it's not an option".

You could do a really weird, cliffhangery sequel hook.

It's not super personal. Just my sister being very irresponsible again.

To start with, today is her final exam in Spanish class. Which there is no textbook for. And she has taken no notes for because she hates the class. So that's already a big problem. I don't care if you hate it, you're in the class, you need to take notes.

So it's impossible for her to study for a final. She isn't worried about failing the class though, because for some bizarre reason, a D is a passing grade at this school. Which doesn't sound right to me at all. I thought a C was a passing grade. Why are we lowering the bar?

Then, this morning, she wasn't ready to leave on time. At 7:05 she was getting dressed. At 7:25, she was still getting dressed. It's not the school dance, she's wearing a T shirt, jacket and jeans for fucks sake. She said it took a long time because her outfit had to match, but it's not like she only has one red shirt and 50 other ones. There is no reason for it to take that long.

She's supposed to be ready to go by 7:30. By 7:31 she finally left her room, but still wasn't ready cause she hadn't packed her book bag. Including getting pencils, which she doesn't normally have for some reason. Dad started yelling at her and left for work without her, so I had to take her to school.

At 7:39. Almost ten minutes late. And she refused to leave her iPod at home. Which I know mom wouldn't have let her do since she was so late, but mom was at the doctor and couldn't do anything about it.

She's in so much trouble after school...

Technically, D is a passing grade. Below average, yeah, but still passing.

And yeah, if I was your dad I would have just chucked her out the door as soon as she was dressed and let her deal with the consequences.
