AIHIEFutaWe are worse than real booksTuna is a good ship*Bible passage*Foalcon is bad
>>43606995>We are worse than real booksI'm not here because I want real books. I'm here because I want horse books. About horses, ideally kissing.
>>43606995Hey man don't give the whole thread away. We still have to spread it out for four hundred and ninety five more posts.
I don’t think I have ever seen a fic that had chapters that are often longer than about 15k words that was actually good.
>>43607018We can go further than that.
>>43607013We are castaways living on an island and all we have left to eat is tuna and the flesh of our fellow man. And we all got sick of tuna a long time ago.
>>43607026>All we have left is the aforementioned fleshI see you, Pinkamena.
>>43607023There was some story with a chapter that was over 100,000 words but I can’t remember the name.
There is no reason not to upload your entire story as a single chapter on fimfiction.
>>43607023To be fair that was originally a multi-chapter story that the author decided to rewrite. It was also terrible.
I haven't looked at fimfics since reading most of the good ones and moving onto chinese/korean webnovels. Have any quality fanfics over 20k words been made in the past 5 years or so?
>>43607263Yes
>>43606208>https://www.fimfiction.net/story/198843/for-whom-we-are-hungryThere are a ton of "lone changeling surviving after the wedding" fics. This is the only one that stuck with me. Short and sweet with some interesting worldbuilding. Complete 15k words.>https://www.fimfiction.net/story/174129/the-changeling-of-the-guardLoveable dumbass changeling exiled from the hive goes on to find a new life in the royal guard. Takes place over a very long period of time. Probably the most popular changeling story? 260k, technically ongoing but posting like a chapter a year.>https://www.fimfiction.net/story/480268/changing-expectationsThe HiE as a changeling one. Interesting world building, large scale conflict, pretty solid overall and better than most HiE. Very long with a direct sequel still in progress, collectively like 750k words.
>>43606995Tuna is a dumb shipSunset x Luna makes the most sense. I can't really see any character besides Sunset or Celestia spanking Luna and Celestia wouldn't enjoy doing it. Certainly not anypony else from the main/Canterlot cast that Luna wouldn't quickly come to hate.
So where's your Dragonriders of Pern crossover?
>>43607519Ember riding me in a bed at someplace called Pern? I dunno, I've never read Dragonriders of Pern.
You know I never got the Displaced genre and I mean the mechanics of the Displaced genre. They apparently had tokens that they used to do crossover fanfiction? Disregarding their quality it was just bizarre
>>43607605Wait until you see Chess Game of the Gods.
>>43607461You spank your aunt?
>>43607678No, but Sunset could and Luna would definitely get off to being spanked by her niece(it's unlikely they're related anyway)
Finished the final bit of the Traveling Tutor series. In the final one, Twilight is pregnant. This is a problem, because her fiancé is a dirty filthy fucking earth pony and she's now a princess. But you wouldn't really notice any of this because it spends a good chunk (like at least a third of the story) on the author's griffon political headcanons. Seriously. This isn't a "Twilight got knocked up and has to navigate court" fic, it's a Griffon Politics fic. Apparently these characters are all from ANOTHER series completely unrelated to Twilight fucking her disgusting mudhorse husband-to-be while all the fair and well-bred Canterlot nobility faint in shame, but I haven't read that. The other half of the story focuses on Twilight's new royal secretary and Celestia's new royal secretary, who want to fuck each other. However Celestia's secretary is a unicorn (and thus a racist) and Twilight's secretary is a pegasus so there's some friction there.To be honest I kind of like Green Grass and Twilight in this. Now that the requisite romcom bullshit is out of the way they're actually cute together. There's chemistry there and I actually enjoyed their bits out of most of it, but it all takes a back seat to FUCKING GRIFFON POLITICS. On top of that the main conflict (other than GRIFFON POLITICS) is Blueblood and other nobility trying to undermine/stop the wedding between Twilight and her disgusting good-for-nothing probably-poor dirtstallion boyfriend. Because all these people somehow think that messing with the extremely powerful neurotic goddess who is also supported by a family of other extremely powerful horse gods is somehow even remotely a good idea?Same as the others. I like his prose, I like his dialogue, the man cannot pace or plot his way out of a paper bag. He's probably an earth pony.
>>43608185are the griffon politics interesting at least?
>>43608255When are griffon politics EVER interesting?
Fics for this feel?
>>43608315The one where Luna is tortured by the Tantabus and gets the bad end
>>43608367Is that the one where the Tantabus turns into a fetus and impregnates her with itself to stop her from being evil?
>>43608422Ok what fic is this
>>43608185>He's probably an earth pony.That explains why Twi gets with a male oc earth pony I guess
>>43608797No one else can keep up with an autistic alicorn's libido. Shining Armor can only fuck his wife into the bricks because he's built like one.
>>43608810The only thing that can keep up with an autistic alicorn's libido, is another autistic alicorn
>>43608828How come Luna loves dragging me to bed then?
>>43608828So you're saying Sunburst/Twilight is endgame?

How do I resist the urge to make a scene funny (because I don't want it to be funny?)
>>43608921Write the funny version of the scene first. Then write the serious version of the scene and use that.
>>43608931Shit, that's actually helpful. Thanks.
>>43608921Write the funny version first, then rewrite it and take the funny bits out.
>>43608931Fuck, I got sniped while doing the captcha.
Quiet Rune Scribe about to pass 2k likes, somehow.
>>43609136Somehow? I think you know how: By being generic trash that updates in a regular schedule.
