"Only the most subtle of references." -No fanfiction writer ever
Peace is never easy. Relationships between nations can be forged or broken by a single minuscule breach of courtesy.
Such was the case of the First Continental Summit of Talking Species.
Because peace is hard and war is easy, but war is also good for absolutely one thing: puns.
My (hopefully) first entry for the Feghoof Contest; update; which somehow took 2nd place.

Ha!
Good one.
Nice little story. I liked the premise of the tribes trying diplomacy. Maybe you could do more stories like that about some international crisis they averted or maybe when other races were added to the conference.
I'm mad I can't both like and dislike a story
Nicely done
A twist on a classic.
Smoothly done.

This was absolutely hilarious and got me chief for laughing too loudly. Best luck in the contest!
Glorious.
Painful, but glorious.
One untold tale of the disaster involved the pony diplomat who was left behind in Zebrica for the rest of his life because he just could not keep his mouth shut. Instead of taking the explanation of the Zebra at face value, he just had to keep poking and prying on an alternative to the ant theory of combustion. Eventually he came up with a theory that the Zebrican Fire Mouse was actually to blame, a creature similar to the Fire Ant as it reproduced by fission, but was more of a pest and had little use as a common match replacement. The rest of the pony delegation derided him for the foolish idea, and with his reputation in tatters, he remained in the country when the rest of them went home. Over the years, he became an expert in the field of odd Zebrican flora and fauna with several books published and some species actually named after him, but his true claim to fame turned out to be the way he had been left behind as the first example ever of a mouse divided carnot strand.
Glad to see this doing well. Looking forward to more.
I like the world building.

Thanks! I trimmed down a few sections as you recommended. Tightened a few descriptions to make them more precise.

This is the Worst! Possible! Thing!
I saw where this was going once the beautifully set-up living tapestry murals were described as grass walls. As Skeeter says, it's a classic phrase to feghoot upon. But this was still very nicely done. I particularly liked the somewhat detached, historical narration style, which provides a great venue for worldbuilding and also a satisfyingly dry voice in which to give the punchline. Nice one!
It's too bad this contest has a word-count limit, because this could have made an impressive sprawling epic. :O
This would be a great story even without the pun
I can feel my brain clawing out of my skull.
That was quite the treat
Not only did I thoroughly enjoy the setup and the wordplay, but this is probably the best raw writing I've read so far in the competition.
This makes for a happy Scottage.
A lot of beautiful world building packed into a short word count. The idea of a living grass palace is sick as fuck, and I would love to see you return to the setting sometime. Plus, you know, a joke that made me laugh!
This is painful and delightful in all the right ways.
