I like editing fanfiction, and will happily proofread for anyone who asks! I lived in Japan for four years. So... there's that. Woo
When ponies in Ponyville start succumbing to a mysterious and bizarre illness, it’s up to Twilight Sparkle to find the cure. She finds a whole lot more than that though, uncovering truths about Equestria that nopony could have predicted.

About time you posted this!
I normally find special fonts and colored text obnoxiously gimmicky. If FimFiction allowed it, it would be rapidly be abused and overused. But in this case, I feel like the original is superior because of it. An exception to every rule, and all that. Have you posted a link to the original document anywhere?
And yes. I just admitted that Comic Sans served a useful purpose. COME AT ME BRO

I know, right? xD
I considered putting a Gdoc link in the author's note, but ultimately decided there weren't enough lines in Comic Sans to merit it. If one of my future chapters ends up with many many more lines like that, I'll put links for those chapters.
(Savages, savages)
Comic sans, comic sans, barely even legible!
Comic sans, comic sans, ban it from our sites!
Not used by you or me, which means it must be trolling,
now we spam the comments with flaaaame!
Terrible. I could feel the reaction Twi was experiencing; Lyraspeak was just AWFUL. And yet I'm waiting with baited breath for more. This looks like it'll be a good ride, keep it up. :)
5798676 Thanks so much! I put a lot of effort into offending your sensibilities, and it means a lot to know that you were as disgusted as I intended you to be. I only hope my future chapters will be just as sickening! I already linked my prereader to chapter 2, and I'm writing chapter 3 as we speak. :)

Oops, sorry I didn't reply! I totally agree with your sentiment. Not to flame Knighty or anything, but I do think the ability to select fonts would be a great addition to the site. Lots of professional authors do that already. I agree that it could be a trap for more inexperienced authors - they could give every single character's dialogue a different font for no reason and come off as extremely tacky - but the English language itself full of such traps already, and there are so many useful and tasteful ways it could be implemented. Letters come to mind, specifically. Font would be a great way to give them that special hoof-written flavor.
I finally got around to finishing this. As for my opinion... I'm actually a little torn. On the one hand, it starts off rather ominous, but like the other tag implies, goes into comedy, which I found a bit off-putting because the atmosphere was so well established. It flows rather nicely and it's very funny, but not very scary. If that's what you were going for, it was rather tense in the beginning, but once the comedy aspect showed up, I was laughing more than worried. Were you going for a black comedy, because even as the virus, infestation, or whatever began to spread, I never once felt any dread. I'm not quiet sure how the dark tag applies, but it's my belief it'll all fall into place once the story finishes.
I still thumbed it up because it made me laugh.

this reads well. . .Let the wars begin !
I understood the title and the bizarre illness that is plaguing Ponyville. I'm eager to learn more as to what the hell's going on.
Oh my god.
They're speaking tumblr.
Well, that was certainly…something.
I like the pacing and the comedy of this fic. It gets to the point very quickly and establishes its main plot without filler. Then, there's the deliberate use of bad grammar (and typeface choice, but dang formatting issues), which creates a sense of uncanniness with the infected's dialogue.
Though somehow, I'm wondering why Twilight isn't going to Zecora for help yet. She probably cured more maladies than the medical staff in Ponyville General.
And seriously? Your first fic, and you get featured in Equestria Daily already? That's quite an accomplishment!
I do have one question, though: if the shipping sickness causes two ponies to love each other irrationally, what if there's an odd number of infected? Will it result in at least one threesome?
Hold on, am I missing some context, here?
6498428 All will be revealed in time. I have everything planned out. :)
6498344 I am currently not at liberty to discuss possible appearances of unnamed fashionistas nor individuals of a draconic nature in my story. Consequently, any and/or all speculative tragedies that may or may not befall such hypothetical characters can neither be confirmed nor denied at this time.
6498582 YEEEEEEEE HAWWWWWWWW

Wait, the story said Spike wasn't with Twilight anymore. Is this taking place in the future? How long? Where is he?
Sorry, just... well, Spike's loyalty to Twilight is, like, his defining trait.
Meh, don't mind me. I'm probably just pissed that Fluttershy butted into the way of my favorite ship.
Anywho, this is very interesting. I hope we don't have to wait too long to figure out more.
6498592 WTF HILLBE YOU JUST SPOILED EVERYTHING! That's EXACTLY where my fic was going!
6498699
Can you point out exactly what gave you this idea? Maybe it's something that needs fixing. It's not a future fic, it's present-day.
Rainbow... and... big mac?
... RAAAAGE 
I'm glad you liked it! I'm in the revising stage for chapter 3.
6498748
Oh, derp. Never mind about the Spike/future thing, I'm just an idiot.
Bitch, don't you dis my Fast!Horse/Stoic!Horse love!! I wrote an entire plot point around that OTP!
Or, in the language of the shippers in this story, "fuk u bich i fite u i swer on me mum m8 1v1 me faget!!!1!!!!1"
6498559 Thanks so much! In writing this, I realized that I'm actually unable to write filler, and I was concerned that the fight scenes (if you can call them that) at the ends of chapters 1 and 2 were far too short. I'm glad you didn't feel that way! :)
Twilight isn't going to Zecora because she discovered through her MRI spell that the illness was magical in nature - an enchantment, not an infection. In her conversation with Doctor Stable in chapter 2, she mentions that the best way to undo such an enchantment is to devise a counterspell from the source. Zecora mostly deals with herbal remedies, and while yes, many herbs are magical, this particular problem is so purely arcane as to place it out of her realm of expertise. But good question!
As for missing context, DuncanR proofread chapter 1 for me several months before I actually posted it. He feels the original is superior because in the original, shipped ponies spoke not just in bold, but in comic sans font.

Heh, I wasn't referencing tumblr specifically - it's how I talk when I play league of legends lullzzlzlzz
Yeah, I'm a horrible human being.
In interesting mix of horror and comedy, I quite like it! Keep up the rip snorting good work!
6498793 Oh my god.
They're speaking interwebz.
I'm going to hazard a guess that the grimdark tag will apply when the inter-ship hatred begins and the slighted member of a pair or group decides to brutally slaughter the rest of the triangle or trapezoid, or perhaps even dodecahedron... herding, you know...
I also predict Waifu Stealer will die first.
AS HE DESERVES!!! 
And then it goes totally meta as it is revealed that the stupid shipfics plastered and promoted everywhere by hormone-addled prepubescent (even though they're over 20...) fanbois have the power to alter the Ponyverse and all the destruction and death is ALL YOUR FAULT, YOU OUT THERE!!!
Not mine. I don't write ship fics! I AM BLAMELESS!! SPOTLESS AS NEWFALLEN SNOW!!
Oh no! They're speaking Tumblr! RUUUUUUN!
Call me hooked though. I'm very interested to see where this leads.
