Banhammered for douchebaggery a mere two days ago, my good man.

I joked about Tweaker in the status updates, if you know what I mean. :P

Can you say "continuity"?

Nope. Apparently, neither can DHX. :P

[super-mega-hyper-sonic]

Wow. Never even noticed that before.

Bon Bon should become a voice actor.

So, I've recently finished reading a novel-length Twilight-Trixie shipfic named Of Mares and Magic - and while I enjoyed absolutely every last second of it to the point of staying up until 5:30AM the night before an examination to finish the final few chapters, (which was probably extremely foolish of me, in hindsight) I felt that it was marred massively by the uselessly melodramatic and unnecessarily sad ending of its eleventh chapter, and its subsequent afterthought apology epilogue. Honestly, there's a point where that kind of narrative just becomes gratuitous, and Of Mares and Magic skates gleefully past that point in its final pages, ruining what could have been a truly beautiful ending.

A real shame, too, as the author flushed whole chapters worth of incredibly intricate character fleshing and development - never before have I felt so connected to characters in a book - down the tube in an instant for the sake of a cheap, shock-factor twist, only to twist backwards in the epilogue and confuse the plot beyond redemption. Of course, I'm not going to lie to you and say that it wasn't extremely fun to read - it was just that the way that the ending felt as though it had been designed to randomly buck me off its rodeo horse and became piss-takingly ridiculous and unfitting at the crucial moment. There's no denying that it was a fantastic fic all in all, and one of the cleverest, deepest and most emotionally wrenching stories that I've ever read - but the blatant Gainax Ending was the piranha in what would have otherwise been a first-class soup. And that made me angry more than anything else.

You might just love it, though. ;P

Read it here: http://www.equestriadaily.com/2011/0...and-magic.html

And be sure to download the PDF version - for ten chapters at the very least, it's unadulterated literary heaven of the highest order.

I've never been a man for fanfiction, let alone shipfics, so I'll just pass, the only Fic I have ever read is "My Little Dashie" and I want to keep it that way.

You can say it's not my cup of tea. Also now I am depressed for being reminded of "My Little Dashie".

God.

Cannot.

Stop.

CRYING!

Shipfics are what I've spent every night for the past GOD KNOWS how many nights wading through before bed - often staying up until unreal hours of the morning for the cause.

I swear, the number of Twilight-Trixie, Applejack-Rainbow Dash (allow your mind to linger on that one for a bit) and Twilight-Luna fics I've read have clogged up my brain from top to bottom with saturated Pony love - and I've even started writing my own TwiLuna ship. And hell, it only took me a couple of weeks of being a Brony for the whole fanfic craving to fully consume me - so I don't know how you're holding up. :P

But I will never ship Pinkie Pie. Oh no. NEVER ship Pinkie Pie...

What is a Shipfic? Ponies on a Boat?

Shiping is pairing two characters together.
