On a Nightmare Night not so long ago, four young colts learn that there is a reason nopony enters the Everfree Forest at night, and that not all nightmares happen while you're asleep.
Caramel and a few of his friends go to a stage show for a magician from Canterlot. But when Caramel gets called on stage as an assistant from the audience, he'll find out first hoof how talented and skilled the magician is. +COMPLETED+
It is that time of year again and six stallions failed to get the memo. Now the six must work together to find a way to survive the week. But not all of them will survive.
Everyone dreams of a happy life. Caramel is a pony who finds that dream out of reach, even if he doesn't want to admit it. But when something is standing between you and the life you need, it can’t be buried forever. No matter how hard you try.
A depressed Caramel wishes for wings and freedom from regrets about his life choices. A pegasus he meets by chance may be his opportunity to solve both.
Left alone at home with nothing to do, Spike discovers a strange pulp anthology book and decides to check out the material within. Tales of lust, violence and
I'll likely be commenting here again in the future, just putting down a couple notes from the first couple paragraphs I read in chapter 1.
First off, your spacing. You do know you're supposed to hit Enter twice, right? You're getting dangerously close to a text wall here.
Second, don't bleep out your swears. You're an adult, you can say the whole thing.
Third, use actual pony curse words. 'Fuck' is ours, and I doubt Equestria would have a language exactly like our own. Hell, they might not even speak English for all we know! English was just the medium used for the show because no one would understand the dialogue if they created a native language for Equestria.
Fourth, slow the fuck down, man. You don't need to pump the page full of dialogue. You're good on description, definitely, but there needs to be more meat to it.
Fifth, don't go wild with the horizontal lines. You can use other methods to imply a scene break.
Sixth, you can have people interrupt the story along the way without breaking it up with horizontal lines. I do it all the time when my characters are telling a story, they just randomly pop in and break the flow. You know, as an interruption in a story actually would do.
I will commend you on your word count, though, but you hit us in the face with a plot twist right at the start. Put us in Thunderlane's perspective, what he's thinking, what he'd say in that situation. Don't do it outside of the story, either, you can fit it all in as narrative.
Hell, you could even construct the story completely from dialogue, though I'd advise against this. Check back later for a possible example, since I'm supposed to be working right now.
Thanks for the constructive criticism. Believe me, the last thing I want to do is write something that people don't like. In fact, I might rewrite these first two chapters at some point so that the story flows better.
Okay...so does Thunderlane have magic semen or somesuch because you do not get pregnant and then start morning sickness that bloody fast. Sorry but i'm off.
2788530 I wasn't commenting to upset or offend, simply to state my opinion that this wasn't for me. It wasn't meant to be an attack on you or your talents. I apologize as looking back it is a poor comment.
Here's a better one: I like the idea of a bar underneath Sugarcube Corner, it fits and is a good place to have characters interact with each other. My trouble was it didn't feel like a common space, it felt very token as a place for the characters to meet and not much else.
The characters felt very blank when they weren't specifically speaking. It came across as a strange blend of a flashback and the character telling a story. I think that's something you need to work on because I found it jarring but it was a good attempt.
The stories you were implying felt amusing and interesting, the side mentions of them and the promises to return to them was well done. It felt accurate to a casual conversation.
Honestly this a cute fic and it does have potential to be fun, you need to clear some things up and really address the idea that someone can become visibly pregnant in less than 24 hours. Ultimately this isn't something I personally want to read but that doesn't make it a bad fic, just not a fic I'm interested in. I'll still recommend it to people who may enjoy it.
Interesting story, I like it how that for a clop story that has some good interaction with characters and how in a way that all of these short-stories in flashbacks are connected to each other. Hard to execute and plan out, but very nice to show how the story is unique when compared to others, especially the drama component with the Thunderlane and Pinkie Pie chapter. All in all, I find it a decent read so far. Sure it's not the best, but it's good for what it is. Keep up the good work, man.
Is it just me or is someone determined to keep the likes and dislikes at 50/50?
5 stallions, a dragon, and the god of chaos walk into a bar... Sounds like the opening of a good joke.
2775401good story. Can't wait to see more!

Thanks. Next chapter might be a while, but I promise it'll be good.

I'm sorry if I put you off.
You know what? After seeing the criticism I've gotten on this thing, I'll probably delete this fic someday and upload a version that:
A. Isn't boring,
B. Makes more sense,
and C. Doesn't seem incredibly contrived.
But for now, I'd just like to finish this fic so I can get all of the major shipping out of my system.

Sorry for leaving such a rubbish comment earlier.

It's alright. I wasn't completely happy with the results of this anyway. Expect an update to these first two chapters sometime soon.

Welp. I'm glad I was correct in my assumption.
Also, loved this story!
How the hell did she reach over to put her hooves in his ass?
5141817 Well there are a number if different explanations I could offer you, but I'm going to go with the most truthful one:
I'm unfamiliar with equine anatomy. I hope you at least enjoyed the story, nitpicks notwithstanding. It took me eight months to write this!
More like a nice, hot rainbow pie with 20% more spicy.
Weird.
I hope that this new one-shot will involved Spike getting laid.

Glad you enjoyed my story enough to leave eight new comments on it.
