Fan Fiction
« on: September 14, 2011, 09:26:21 am »
Does anypony here read MLP FanFics? I was not into Fan Fics for the longest time, after high school I got into this snobbish kind of attitude where I didn't want to read anything that wasn't offical canon.

*snob voice* "No no writer, I care not for your stories or your creative talent! It it not canon so I shall not deign to look upon your writings. I do not care if your story fits into the storyline 1000x better, you were not paid to write it into canon so its nothing to me!"

Yeah, dumb I know. :P

But in the past year I've been getting back into it and especially with the ponies. There are some good stories out there that are well written, funny and in the case of shipping, romantic.

Yes, I like SOME shipping fics. But I'm picky about them.

So if you enjoy fan fics talk about your favorites here and feel free to put up links to the ones you like so we can all enjoy. :D

Not a big Fan Fic reader here. I've read perhaps one completely and skimmed through a couple, but just didn't catch onto it yet. I'd rather play an MMO RPG which is basically like a 3D version of a never ending Fan Fic.

Huge pony fanfic reader here! I won't read most fanfic since it tends to destroy the consistency of a given world/universe, but for MLP I gave in and started reading some of the higher-rated fics posted on EqD.  I really enjoy the ones that avoid messing with canon, though there are times when I can put my OCD tendencies aside and just enjoy a story for what it is.   Characterization normally isn't too much of a sticking point for me, but I hate it when authors project their own desires onto the characters, or give characters desires that never came up in the show.  For this reason I'm actually OK with OC ponies more than most people.  Some fics with OCs that I'm enjoying are A New Breed and Antipodes.

I'm not much in to reading the fics, but I enjoy the Friendship is Madness podcast where they read fics and add their own funny commentary. My favorites would have to be Spiderses and Dear Idiot. Both short, sweet, and funny in their own right.

Love fanfic. Always have, always will.

Was "Dear Idiot" the one that was the letter from Celestia to Blueblood? That was hilarious.

A word of note. Dear Idiot is best read with a British accent. Lol

So I broke down and started writing fan fiction of ponies. I'm not great and I can't do HTML to save my life so areas that needed to be centered and bold aren't. :'(

But if you are wanting to see an OC pony and find out just who this Starmoon guy is you've seen in my avatar then go click on the link in my signature that takes you to my Deviant Art account.

Nevermind putting my stories up on DA, it doesn't seem to want to accept and html center tag to center the text. I suppose I'll just try another way.

Okay I've tried once more and this is the last time. DA has given me lots of trouble about putting my fan fiction up but I've finally managed it. If anypony wants to read the first part follow this link

If you're tired of seeing Twilight only shipped with Trixie, then check out Once Bitten, Twice Shy for an adorable Twilight x Fluttershy story.

I read that one a while back, honestly I didn't likee it. the first couple chapters are okay but then it jusst devolves into a mess where its trying too hard to be funny.

I just finished reading "Order from Chaos" and I gotta say thatt it was probably the best Sonic/MLP cross over work ever.

I recomend everyone read this.
