Except Twilight. Because she has proper respect for all literature.

But then she joins in in the end.

Even better than just RD, all the Mane Six trying to hijack the story.

and they all try to hijack it in a certain direction.

RD keeps going for the awesome action sequences
Twi tries to make them solve their problems with science, logic, and reasoning
Flutters would like it if they just went back to the tea party
Pinkie also wants a party...but her idea of a party is a bit different

and uh...I got nothing for Rarity and AJ

Pinkie tells them about the time she had a Party Party.

Rarity's version is even more boring. Like it could be pastiche of melodramatic romance novels or something.

Come to think of it, an episode where the cast sequentially tells a story would be pretty amazing.

AJ wants the story to be turned into a Spaghetti Western complete with showdowns and shootouts.

That would be awesome.

Also, Fluttershy's section is even more saccharine than the stuff they'd be making fun of. Or maybe she could start the story, prompting RD to take it over.

And then Spike turns the story into a testosterone fueled 80s action movie. With himself as the hero.

nonono, that's what RD would do.

Everyone knows spike is more into Hot Blooded Shōnen type stuff.

@JT: I cannot imagine it being MORE saccharine. I would get diabetes, and not the good kind.

#285866 Mio Sat, 22nd Sep '12 11:01:52 AM

Nah, Fluttershy's piece will start off really saccharine before suddenly taking a sharp turn into Watership Down territory. Everyone is surprised and a bit disturbed.

It totally would be.

Kind of reminds me of Ponies Play D&D. One of the things that I liked about that fic was that all of the characters were portarayed as good, but not perfect D Ms with very different styles. With the exception of Derpy who is portrayed as the greatest DM in the history of the universe. A lot of comments were variations of "I want X to be my DM!" Personally, I thought that the best DM depended on the kind of game that you felt like. Pinkie and RD are good at making fun, awesome one-shots, but Rarity makes an epic story-based campaign for example.

Not really, it's not even called D&D in the fic i think, just have a general knowledge of how table top RPG's work would be fine.

#285872 Psi 001 Sat, 22nd Sep '12 11:42:20 AM

Fluttershy's would either be saccharine or a depressing tale of Self-Deprecation, with some Useless Protagonist moaning about how she lets everyone down by being weak. I imagine something like Chuckie's Imagine Spot in the Home Movies episode of Rugrats.

AJ could either be two extremes, a super dramatic western type scenario, or a completely mundane discussion of the joys of good labour and hard work.

Good afternoon, people.

A random rambling.

While I generally frown upon shipping, Raibow Dash and Fluttershy brings out my inner rabid shipper. This was the most evident in the end of Hurricane Fluttershy, in which I find myself basically screaming RD to kiss FS. Too bad she didn't.

As I find so much pleasure in that melts like my breath, I am always full of regret.
