Umm, well, I made a song. It's not very good, but I really wanted to share with you. Some have actually heard it and think it's good, so I posted it under stories. I know it isn't exactly a story, but... I really, really wanted to share it! It's the first full song I've recorded and it's based on Midnight Castle, so... *innocent smile*
It's posted under the story "Midnight Shadow" (I've tagged it as a romance story with the sad tag). The lyrics are there too!
Tell me what you think. (Really, really, really hope you like it.)
SweetStuff
@SweetStuff: love your voice! :) And the way you sing is so full of emotion! Can I play it to my class? (Promise I won't tell I know you if you don't want me to... although I'd really like to brag about it :D
Also, love that it's about Eric!!! :)
PrinceEric
@SweetStuff: marry me! :D
DannyFan
DannyFan, keep acting that way you'll get banned. Please, don't make me warn you again.
The TechNightling
@The TechNightling: so harsh today... did something happen, Tech?
@SweetStuff: that's actually not bad. Who On my way! You had skills? Think you can do a reading of some of my stories? I won't be mad if you feel inspired and add a few words as well ;)
RRBB
@RRBB: really? :D Love your Danny saga! (I started reading it soon.) Will be difficult to do Danny with my voice, but if you're okay with a younger version, I'll go for it. :D
@PrinceEric, @DannyFan: thanks, you're both so sweet! :D
SweetStuff
@SweetStuff: you have a beautiful voice, but you need a bit more practice. If you want, PM me and I can give you some pointers? :)
The song, on the other hoof is... it's... I cried all over my keyboard! I know a few pones have said it's incredible, but it really is. There's slight word clutter in two places, but that could be fixed. If you take care of that, train your voice a bit more, and add music, I think it'll shine!
P.S. please do a happy romantic song next? ;)
Brush
@SweetStuff: way to become popular! And you deserve it every bit! Can't wait to hear your Danny impression... and more songs :D Oh, and before I forget, I'm kidnapping you to my place tomorrow! No way I won't take part in recording this! I'll also ask a few friends if they can join in (who knew my musical scholarship would come in handy? :P)
LyraHands
LyraHands: can you get Octavia Harmony?! :) I'm such a huge fan!
PaintDrop
@PaintDrop: I could, and I will! ;)
@LyraHands: and you won't be kidnapping anypony! I'll be snatching you both! I'll arrange for the recording. :)
Luna
On second thought, maybe you can have a recording session in the royal conservatory. :) Might be less problematic.
Luna
I can get DJ Pon3!
TheRealLuna
@SweetStuff: that's actually sweet! :) You just need to pause a bit more between lines, like you do during the chorus. My sister will love this. :D
Going to the lyrics. Yep, you've got it! With a few months more practice I bet you can become a pony idol! :))
MixaMax
@MixaMax: I never knew you were an expert in singing as well. Please, enlighten us, what myriad of talents do you possess?
Sweet just did something remarkable, that on most places would be considered a ticket to a scholarship, but no! Somepony had to be an eternal critic. :/
Jade the Evervirgin
Cool it you two. No ear nibbling in public! :P
Brush
@Brush: I'd rather have my mane torn off hair by hair, than have anything to do with that harpy!
Jade the Evervirgin
@Jade the Evervirgin: cool it a bit, will you? I've no idea where this animosity came from, but that's enough.
MightyDragon
@MightyDragon: And who exactly made you king Sombra?
Jade the Evervirgin
@Jade the Evervirgin: I did.
CodeFilly
@Jade the Evervirgin: I know you're a cutie, but cool it a bit, will you? Instead of yelling at ponies, write a magnificent story that will make half the site (Max included) drool their spit out.
Brush
@Brush: Well... okay. Yeah, sorry. I can be like that at times. Guess, I have a bit of a temper, huh? It's just ponies like MixaMax drive me crazy! :( Never done a thing in their lives, yet they never miss an opportunity to correct others. Half my class is like that! Arrogant, snobbish jerks, who think they are so much better just because they go to a good college (often only thanks to their financial backing.)
I'll try to keep my temper under check, but... oh well. And I definitely write something to have Max eat her heart out! Let me see her then!
@SweetStuff: if you're still in school (guess based on your voice), I see you becoming famous in a few years. Just don't let loudmouths like MixaMax discourage you. :)
Jade the Evervirgin
@Jade the Evervirgin: Listen, cupcake. If taking cheap shots at me turns you on, go right ahead. You think I'll quit because some aethernet warrior said something bad about me? If you're so brave why don't you come to the meetup? Last I heard there were direct trains from the Empire to Canterlot.
MixaMax
@Jade the Evervirgin: thank you <3 Everypony here has been very nice to me :)
I hope nothing bad happened to you during the magic storm. My sister said it was very scary and a number of ponies got hurt :(If you write a story, I promise I'll narrate it :)
SweetStuff
@SweetStuff: what do you say about us working on a common project? I've started working on a comic based on MCE. If you voice it, we can post it on the aethernet and link it up here.
@LyraHands: some rules about that might be nice. Comics and songs aren't exactly fics, but are still part of Midnight Castle. What is a Nightling to do in these circumstances?
PaintDrop
@PaintDrop, @SweetStuff: of course, dears. Go ahead. That's what the site is for :) I'll add a few new tags. ;)
CodeFilly
Hmm. Would notable members of this fandom be considered "apefamous"?
In any case, there's a difference between tearing down others and offering constructive criticism. I can only hope Jade comes to understand that, or at least stops doing the former.
Kinda curious to see what the admins will do with Jade and Max.
7927188 Oh. OH. Holy shit. Well, forget I said anything. Any sane person would just make a brief hiatus for the time being but YOU keep posting chapters even in these circumstances... Do me and yourself a favor and eat some pierogi(preferably the ones with fruit) and buy some sweets called "Michałki". You won't regret it :) And catch some sleep, damnit...
Well, that was a close one but
I guess it... worked? They may have overdone it a bit or just Brush didn't plan on Jade being such an ass on the
internetzzaethernetzz. Though the only way to be sure is to wait for the side-fic...Also, it seems like they're getting their band together, eh?
7927346 Well, maybe not ape since I'm not sure how much they view humans as created through evolution (rather just mythological beings, like hydra, Chimera, etc.)
They will become Nightling famous :) At least SweetStuff will. On that note, anyone here have any idea of song writing?
7927563 Things are to get complicated soon :)
7927899 :P
7928030 Huge spoiler: The "band" doesn't mean what you think it means.
Hopefully, will get the companion story don't by day 50. A few unexpected things happened, so sorry for my slowness :(
im so afraid to make comments about characters for you to show up and be like haha nope they aren't who you think! I can't tell if we are all wrong or you just rotate their personas after people get it right! The red herrings are abundant in this story. I still love it though.
7943060
I won't change them :) (and I can even say that you've collectively guessed one of the posters for sure :))
*insert lemongrab scream here* Everyone knows her name is Octavia Philharmonica Melody!
srsly tho I'm loving how vicious Mix and Jade are at each-other and I want more7955317 You fuckin' kidding me? It's Octavia Philiharmonica
7977564 Whoops, I typo'd and skipped the last 'a', apologies. Also I combined it with her actual canon surname. I'm not actually sure which one upset you more. XD
Tried to what?
Sweet stuff is obvisously sweetie belle, paintdrop is silver spoon, RRBB would then be diamond tiara. Pretty obvious at this point tho.
However id hazard a guess that mix is blueblood
You know, I originally thought Luna's presence was a one-off gag, meant to play off the Not Safe For Woona joke and disappear. Imagine my shock when she became a recurring character!
