You know, when Trixie puts it that way, it does seek rather impressive. Ah, those Mane Six, what imaginations they have!
I can see that this is an unfinished product, it somehow lacks the polish of your other projects. Still puts anything I do to shame.
Neightionwide is on your side!
Threw this together for the hell of it:

A really novel story approach. I loved it! I like the "What if the whole incident wasn't as big a deal to Trixie as everyone thought?" idea. It's a path that not many have explored, sadly.
And the imagine spots. Hehehe.

Trixie still beats all of them in maturity
As Trixie's portrays (and redemption) go I really liked the one in The Audience by RealityCheck
And what really Trixie's talent is.
This is a SI but this one chapter can be read as standalone, simply skip to "It was evening and...." :

Very interesting concept that very few brought up. I like it.
Interesting. And actually pretty original compared to the vast majorty of post-BB fic.

The hardest part was thinking of what each of them would consider the "Worst. Possible. Thing." That's why I never finished it way back when--Twilight and Rarity's parts came to me pretty quick, but I couldn't figure out the other four's stories.
I tried a similar concept with a meta story called "Ponies Write Fanfics," but after two chapters I just lost interest.

Ah, more fan art! Thank you!

Well, I've been performing on stage off and on for over 20 years now. Haven't had any gigs go that badly, but really--at the end of the weekend, we put everything away, either congratulate ourselves on a good show or have a nice long cry, and go on with our lives. This blog post (for my one-shot Here I Am) may be of interest.

That was a really good read. Memoirs of a Reality Jumper had a pretty good Trixie redemption scene in it, too, if I remember correctly.
It's really too bad that the writers of the show kind of played her as a revenge-obsessed lunatic in Season 3. They could have handled it so much better.

Thank you!
3950846 Could have been worse. Lauren Faust envisioned her as a recurring petty villain. Much as I would have liked to see a return, I'm actually glad that didn't happen.
Took it like a champ too.
I really enjoyed this story. It shows that Trixie really is a businessmare at heart and able to easily bounce back from that one mishap. Most, if not all, stories show her as a mare down on her luck but you took it another way and showed that she didn't even look phase in the aftermath.
Good job sir!
I absolutely love how un-phased she is. With that last line, I let out a laugh and a loud, "Fuck yeah!" Ha ha! That was great! This is getting a fave, for sure.

Thanks!

Thank you!
Having worked in theatre I confess I found the maine 6's behaviour to be utterly atrocious. Sure Trixie was a bit stuck up but the idea that they were in the right heckling her was ridiculous. I love your take on things.
4016698
I agree; my own experience with bad audiences was an inspiration for this story.
You might also like Here I Am, if you haven't read it before.
4016797 Eeehhh I tend to shy away from tragedies >< but I like your other stuff ^^;
4024860
It's a fairly light tragedy, for what that's worth. I wish I could think of a good literary example, but I've got nothing. Either way, I respect your choice--I personally tend to avoid fics with the 'gore' tag unless they come highly recommended.
I loved this! It was a very entertaining story! I love myself a good Trixie fic! Great job!
4038350
Thank you!
For a good Trixie fic, I would also recommend McPoodle's Trixie's Clear and Simple Secret to Ultimate Power.
Or, for a more comedic story, MythriMoth's Trixie and Spike go down the Hoooooole
If you like stories about showmares in general, be sure to check out my own Here I Am.
4038615 yay! I can now further feed my Trix-Fix!
I'm thinking of writing a Trixie story myself.
Instafave. Gotta say I haven't seen this outcome in all the Trixie fics I've read. And I like reading Trixie. And watching Trixie. And listening to Trixie.
I'm a Trixie sucker. And I don't regret it.
4026305 Hm I may try it then, i dislike pretty much all tragedy. If the character struggles and still fails at the end it jsut bums me out. Appreciate the respect of opinion though
Wow, that's one of the more original takes that I've seen that deals with Trixie's "plight". All the other ones that I can think of at the moment have her destitute and/or go crazy with revenge. It's refreshing to see a more "normal" response.
A like and a fave, if nothing else, for the originality.
.
As has been mentioned by others, this portrayal of the Ursa Minor incident not really affecting Trixie all that much is very unique, and I would like to see more fics that have Trixie not be all that affected by the Incident. Sure it renders Magic Duel invalid, but you can come up with another reason for Twilight Sparkle and Trixie to get into a magic duel if you really want to. I, for one, would like to see a continuation, where the Mane Six run into Beatrix Lulamoon the next time they're in Canterlot, and discover that she's actually pretty personable outside showing up hecklers.
On a final note, I find it funny that Applejack got Trixie's situation pegged. She's good at what she does, and she'll get back on her hooves without much trouble.

Thank you! I wrote it before Magic Duel aired, and it was still in the editing queue when Magic Duel came out, so I didn't publish back then. Trixie's characterization was influenced by my own work as a performer.
I figure AJ would be the least likely to engage in flights of fancy.
This was quite funny, definitely enjoyed it.
Keep going! ;)
Until I reread it I thought for sure the ending bit was Rarity's imagination. It sounded far too much like an off-the-cuff improvisation with the same strong undertones of the inventor's personality all the others did.
Which has the effect of tarring the story as a whole with the same brush of wish fulfillment, honestly.

The ending is certainly one of those "Your Mileage May vary" things.
As a performer myself, I've had my share of bad reviews, disastrous shows, and so on, and all you can do is just move on to the next one.
Indeed. My father has been in several bands, and has had to deal with terrible band members before. That being said, I like how Trixie was able to look at the bright side in this fic. Sure, she was beaten, but she still managed to beat 3 elements of harmony before that happened.

I can only imagine how difficult it must be to make a living at it. I've got a regular job, so I don't lose anything when a show doesn't go as well as planned, and when I'm not feeling it, I don't have to audition for the next show. Making a living as a travelling performer . . . man, that's gotta be tough.
I just realized that, while I read this 5 weeks and 3 days ago, I totally forgot to upvote it and favorite it! My bad! That oversight has been corrected.
Faved, Double Faved and upvoted.
Partly for the reverse stripper gag.

Ha, thanks!
Nicely done, even if it's an 'ancient' fic. :) I very much disliked the mane six in that episode. Hadn't they heckled a showmare that was just doing her job -being boastful was obviously a central part of her glittery show, like any circus everywhere- the whole fiasco would never have happened. Trixie still doesn't get enough love around here.
7143116
I was more on the mane six's side when I first saw it (Trixie was a bit of a jerk), but over time I sort of changed my opinion of her. Especially as a part-time stage performer myself who's had my share of terrible audiences.
Of course, there's the revenge with the alicorn amulet to consider.
7147871
Which I think wouldn't have happened without the prior events, but...
*wince* I can imagine.
7149210
None of them involved rampaging star-bears destroying all our equipment, though, so that's a plus.
Pretty interesting, you can tell it's unfinished but it's still pretty good. Rarity's imagination is certainly pretty good.
8230073
Rarity was the most fun to write, along with Applejack's playing it totally straight. It'd gotten the Twilight and Rarity parts done when the alicorn amulet episode aired, and that kind of knocked the wind out of my sails, since it basically showed Trixie to be the opposite of how I portrayed her.
Yeah, it probably isn't as good as some of the later stuff I wrote; on the other hand, I think it was a fairly unique take on Trixie, especially at the time.
8231157
the biggest thing is just polish in my opinion, and you can kind of tell when the episode came out. Still an interesting take. That's got to suck, having the show just destroy a fic like that.
8233362
Yeah, a lot of it was written way back when I was getting started, and I don't believe this one ever got pre-read at all.
Thanks! As far as I know, it's unique. But I've done theatre, and I've had my fair share of bad shows, and while none of them ended with me getting run out of town, there was always that possibility.
Well, that's kind of something that you sign up for when you're writing fanfiction for an ongoing show. Another one of my plot bunnies got mostly jossed by the comics, but I can just ignore that (after all, the comics are secondary canon). And a few other things that the show changed--in the pony planet stories, Magnum is an earth pony, not a unicorn (also he has a new name now). And Starlight in OPP isn't Starlight Glimmer, although some new readers think she is. One of the nurses got a new name, too. Which is part of the reason why I'm now including pictures of canon ponies in the blog posts, in case their fan names get changed.

I haven't had fics get ruined (kind of easy when you don't write) but i've had head canon ruined.
Intrigued, scent
