Trying too hard. Make it less obvious.
I think being obvious was the point here.

Actually, one way to do it would be to make a genuinely deep, immersive, epic story - all written like that. Make it work, and you have the penultimate piece of fanfiction. Make it so the desire to read the story to the end is just barely stronger than the opposite reaction to the style. Then it's a masterpiece.

ninja edit - personally, I think it's trying to do a double integer overflow reacharound - going past Bad into So Bad It's Good, past that into So Bad It's Horrible, and past that into So Horrible It Can Only Be Art. The jury's still up on whether or not it succeeded - I'm not much for art, personally. :)

Okay, I fixed some of those typos. I'm thinking about expanding it into a full story; it certainly seems to have enough material to do so. Rainbow Dash's Huge Day Out: A Thrilling Tale of Romance, Apples, Aliens and Xenocide.

I'm listening to Charlie Chaplin's speech from The Great Dictator. Suddenly, I want to do an analysis of human culture by Twilight Sparkle. Problem is, I can only imagine that I'll make it horribly slow and boring.

Alright, I've updated stories.zip again. Bear in mind that I can't really change uploaded files, so everytime I update it, it's gonna be a new link which is actually pretty bad. I'm gonna see if there's a different way to handle things.

Edit: There actually is! I wasn't quite sure how shared links worked up until now, but this should work just fine. If you wanna stay up to date on all the fanfics that I find, you should use that link.

Okay, if I can convince my roommate to leave, I'll do a Microsoft Ann reading of it and try to post it on YT, if I can figure out how.

That's what you get when you emulate some of the most infamous work in the fanfic community. That or our fic.

It definitely is! Glad I read it, actually. I enjoy trollfics (NO, not the Grimdark kind) quite a lot.

Okay. Another really short one shot.


Fluttershy started to smile as she saw the three Cutie Mark Crusaders.

"Isn't this going to be fun! The sun will be up forever and that means you don't have to sleep anymore! Just do more crusading, forever and ever! And then you'll get your cutie marks! This will be great fun! Celestia is the greatest, isn't she! Giving us such a blessing! Playing together forever! No more sleeping! No more crying! No more hate! No more suffering!"

Fluttershy continued to smile.

Damn. That... leaves far too much to the imagination. She sounds like she might have lost it, but at the same time she could be completely sane, thinking that eternal day really will be beneficial.

I'm just surprised you didn't think of Tyranestia Orwelling it up.

Perfect timing, considering I just read some excerpt from 1984.

1984 in Equestria. That would be absolutely horrifying to get involved in.
