Instead of sitting there and taking it like a bitch at the end of RoH, Discord ducks the friendship laser and counterattacks, banishing the M6. They need to figure out where they were sent and how to get back home.

>>25848185
>Celestia Sleeps In
Interesting plot idea that gets thrown out the window in favor of a drab first encounter which is, admittedly, done pretty well and fairly realistically. The main problem is, it's fucking boring and has a very slow pacing. It's like reading an actual first contact diplomatic envoy's diary.
>>25848231
>Interesting plot idea that gets thrown out the window in favor of...
Well to be fair, it would be a pretty short fic if she went there, took a nap, and went home without interruption
>It's like reading an actual first contact diplomatic envoy's diary.
Well thats not too far off the mark for what it is.

I'd actually prefer it if the fic just stuck to the dudes perspective and had a companion fic dealing with the ponies'. kinda like VAtS/SAtV did
>>25848288
Yeah, the differing viewpoints got kind of stale. Alternating between Lyra/Dale is alright and all, but when the author describes the exact same thing from another point of perspective each time, it gets pretty damn dull.
Also when the author repeats the same internal train of thought many times throughout the story. I get it, Dale thinks the ponos are super advanced or whatever, you don't have to go on for three paragraphs detailing exactly how related to Star Trek they are.
>>25848309
>but when the author describes the exact same thing from another point of perspective each time
True. Though along similar lines, it was generally hilarious when used in Cultural artifacts.
>Go on for 10 paragraphs in ponyview, describing the humans actions in excruciating detail while still remaining vague as to whats actually happening
>Switch to the humans perspective as he finishes shaving and wonders what the hell the ponies are staring at
And yeah its getting old with the whole 'I wonder how these super futuristic space aliens manage to make their space age home bunkers look like thatched roof wooden shacks. theyre so future-y and magnificent to behold'
Still for all the minor quibbles, CSI/OtPP still remains the best of the serious first contact fics, so we cant really bitch too much
>>25848376
It's kind of sad that the bordering-on-mediocre is the best we have. It's good, but it could really use a competent editor. I haven't started reading Onto the Pony Planet yet, but I have a bad feeling about it, as goes with sequels like this.
>>25848411
Well if you're not satisfied with the current offerings, anon,you could always make the attempt yourself.
You know all of the current gripes regarding first contact fics, so I'm certain you'd be able to either improve or circumvent the problems.
There have been several instances of "I like the concept, but the execution in X fic is just Godawful. I'm going to do it better" in this thread.

I made the mistake of including Ponka in one of my scenes, so now I'm stuck because writing her properly is really hard and the temptation to turn her into a lolsorandumb fourth wall breaker is always there, an easy way out which would reduce the quality of the fic, but then again, she only shows up for one or two scenes, so what could it hurt?

I'm writing that Rainbow Factory accounting story and a comedy oneshot centered on bureaucracy.
Guys.
We should all write something together.
>>25855137
I remember there was an initiative to do something like that in the early threads. We create a single narrative together, and everybody writes one chapter each.
Surprisingly, we never got around to do that.
>>25855137
>>25855162
What about a rule book for us to conform to?
Something like Encyclopaedia Equestria, with basic laws regarding magic usage and trivia regarding species and lore. Nothing too constrictive to limit our creativity though.
>>25855351
you mean the mlp wiki then
>>25855361
Except they barely go over concepts such as race distribution and how magic spells work, nor how much an unicorn is capable of accomplishing.
It's good for lore and trivia about the show, but even then it's lacking in some parts.
>>25855382
>Except they barely go over concepts such as race distribution and how magic spells work, nor how much an unicorn is capable of accomplishing.
Not true. They just provide hard facts from the show.
You just want a headcanon wiki, don't you?
>>25855351
You don't need to do that all in advance. A more interesting approach is this:
One guy writes a story. He takes the lore stuff from it, and puts it in a shared document. That's in "the lore" now. The next time someone writes something in this project, he sticks to the already established lore, and writes down any new things he came up with into the shared document. And so on.
It's a procedurally generated clusterfuck, which sounds entertaining.

I'm not sure if this is the best place to ask, but I can't think of anywhere else to go.
I'm trying to read through the files in the fimfarchive, and when I try to write their contents into a text file, I get a bunch of weird symbols. I assume this is because Python isn't parsing the unicode properly, but I don't know what kind of encoding it's using. Does anyone know what kind of unicode it uses or how to fix this problem?
>>25857676
Weird like &, or weird like 夬? The former means you need to fix the handling of HTML entities when parsing.I don't actually know how fimfarchive stores things but I assume they just downloaded the HTML versions of all the chapters?The latter means you need to fix some character encoding settings in either your Python file reading code (more likely) or in whatever program you're using to view the text files (less likely, most should auto-detect encoding properly). In particular, there's a character encoding setting somewhere in the `sys` module that probably needs to be set to UTF-8 before you open the file. Either that or you need to open it in binary mode (so read() produces bytestrings instead of decoding to text automatically) and then `.decode('utf-8')` on the result.
>>25857841
First rule of tech support- assume the guy with the problem is a moron.
Isn't everything in fimarchive in epub format?
>>25857676
Try an epub reader/converter instead of mspaint or notepad or whatever bullshit method you're attempting
>>25857841
Thanks. I fixed it by callling encode('utf-8') before writing to file.
The archive contains all the epub files, which I used some random library to convert to a string.
>>25857960
It is in epub format, and when I say read, I meant using Python to process the epub's contents as a string so that I can do stuff to the contents before writing to file, though I can see why it might look like I'm using some really retarded method to open epubs.

Anyways, I used a Markov Chain in order to try and write a fanfic. I figured the result aught to be better than some fanfics out there, and was wondering how good I could get it. The above sample is obviously trained on Fallout:Equestria, though I have hopes of eventually sampling from all of fimfiction.
If I can refine the algorithm a little, maybe adding in some NLP stuff, I might consider publishing some of its outputs just to see how people react.
>>25858063
>I might consider publishing some of its outputs
you just became the laziest creator on fimfiction. and your output will still rate average as far as fics go.

You should train one on this thread. Go find the last couple threads that turned into 500 posts of GUNS GUNS GUNS, train on those, and next time guns come up ITT, reply to people with randomly generated arguments and see how long it takes for somebody to call you on it.
Quick question:
What's the fucking deal with a/an? some places tell me an should only be used for words starting with an "Ah" sound, but others (Including every spellchecker I've used) tell me that "An" should be used before any word that starts with a vocal.
What's up with that? Is it a polemic mater, or one of those "It's up to opinion bro" things?
>>25861006
If the next word starts with a vowel sound, use 'an', otherwise use 'a'. Note that "vowel sound" is not the same as "vowel letter": "an hour", "a usual day".
It's not up to opinion, your sentence will sound completely wrong if you fuck it up.
>>25861039
Ah, I had through that but wanted to be sure.
Now I just have to find out how to bang it into Libreofice's head. At this rate I'll just start writing with errors marking disabled.
>>25861006
If you're fluent in English just say it out loud for whether it makes sense. Such as.
"You're an idiot." Compared to "he is a useful idiot'.
>>25861097
>If you're fluent in English just say it out loud for whether it makes sens
I've never managed to git gud in English pronunctiation. I have a good understanding of how it works in my head, but as soon as I try to say it out loud my tongue just doesn't seem to work right. I learned English from reading and hearing it, so I can communicate in it but have problems with the more "Serious" parts of the language, like that one.
Still, thanks for the answers.
>>25861053
>Now I just have to find out how to bang it into Libreofice's head.
But your pic shows Libreoffice giving you exactly the right suggestion
>>25861160
I realized I was giving the wrong example and wrote pic related as an example.
So "Oh"/"Ho" is a vowel sound too? How the heck does it work? "Weak" vowels are vowel sounds and "Strong" vowels aren't?

Seriously, thanks for explaining.
>>25861185
Long U sound is actually a consonant sound followed by a vowel. This is the U in "unit", "usual", "fume".
a usual
an unusual
sometimes i dont blame writers for having shitty grammar

So...what fanfic changed YOUR life?Snark aside, I think it's a nice idea
I just had the weirdest fucking idea
A stallion surgeon at the Ponyville General Hospital has a bizarre, unhealthy obsession with female internal anatomy. He admits mare patients and opens them up just to look at their reproductive tracts in excruciating detail. I guess it would be like a weird exploration of various mares in the series and how I envision their wombs/ovaries differ from one another? I don't fucking know. I had some weird rapey parts included (if a mare comes in as part of a fertility thing, he would open them up, and then fuck them on the table, watching as their reproductive tract responded), but I figured that was kind of overboard.
Still though, I can't deny that the idea is enticing...
>>25861552
I can't say fanfiction has changed my life, but if there's one particular story that I held close, it has to be this one.
http://www.fimfiction.net/story/3513/keeping-it-simple
There's something about this story that just clicks with me. I think it's probably the slow, organic feel it has (which I've unsuccessfully tried to emulate in my fics.)
>>25861669
You disgust me.But I would read, upvote, comment and probably favourite it.
>>25861669this is slightly my fetish. kind of.
Weird how I'm not really against gore or blood if it's in a sanitary surgical environment. You wouldn't think that taking a hacksaw to someone's sternum is much different to carefully pulling open the skin with forceps after separating the flesh with a scalpel.
>>25861427
No, we would have juicier vowels then.
>>25861840
Well, it's far less edgy and shocking in a surgical environment because there's a heightened environment of professionalism. That's what I'm aiming for in this fic, anyway; aside from the clear unprofessionalism of molesting mares while they're out and under the knife, the doctor is an exemplary surgeon on par with Black Jack (well, maybe not THAT good, but he's passionate, well trained, and meticulous).
>>25861710
Thanks, that's my motivation to write it and my go-ahead.
>>25862364
>Well, it's far less edgy
Far from being far less edgy actually.

Shpping with a side of mystery and some feels. Even if you know the "twist," it's a damn good read. Very well written.
>>25862880
This is the fic that made me visit this general in the first place. I've been staying away from this board for about 2-3 years until I've read it.
And now I'm here, arguing about OP subjects, ITTs, and My Little Pony lore.

I thought it was a really good story, well done though I think the mystery is a bit strained. Pretty obvious who it was from the get go, but still a good read.
>>25863082
Actually,Pinkie being jealous of Mare Do Wellreally threw me off, at some point I was consideringTwilight and someone else I'm forgettingand assumed thatthe story mentioning Pinkie a little too oftenmeantrejectionwas one of its focus points.
I worked really hard on those spoilers.
>>25863082
Agreed. Though I feel it isn't about the mystery, but more about the character development between Rainbow and MDW. That's really where the story shines. I knew who it was maybe 5 or so chapters into it, but it didn't really take away from my enjoyment of the story and the character development.Also that chapter after the reveal might just be my favorite writing ever
>>25862880
One of the very few pieces of fanfiction I'd actually call "Deep" with a straight face. Keeps you intrigued until the last moment,and for some reason I can't quite remember I was utterly convinced Mare Do Well was Rarity. I even remember joking at myself about her being (Actual spoiler:)Pinkiemultiple times.
In something I am writing about horse superheroes, I am trying to capture the atmosphere of uncertainity, make the readers ask themselves the real identity of each heroe.
For example, two of them are Mind Master and Gnawer, the first is a RULES OF NATURE pensative&brooding heroe with a design similar to MDW's who has a bit of a pretentious vein and can control the mind of people, the later is a silent heroe whose sex remains indeterminate that can control animals. I want to play with characters like this, two heroes that could be the same individual but that hate each other for various reasons, generaly extremely disparing philosophies and metodologies. Pic related, a quote from a character, pretty much wraps my view in the general idea of heroes. And yes, it's supposed to sound pretentious.
Hell, at first I even played with the idea of not giving away the real identity of the main heroe. It'd have a action scenes interwined with slice of life of multiple characters, slowly hinting at the real identity. I trashed the idea because then the story would become more of an experiment than a story, but the idea still sits there influencing a lot of things.
>>25863183
>of each heroe
>brooding heroe
>silent heroe
>main heroe
Also, there's an error in that screenshot, it should be "an inner sense" instead of "a inner sense".
Still, I'd like to read it someday, sounds interesting.
>>25863235
>Heroe
Ah, yeah. Been sleeping like crap lately because of pups (Seriously what's up with them they wake me up at 8 AM to let them out like a goddam clock) and it's getting to me. At this rate I'll have to make them sleep outside and they aren't even six months old.
>>25862381
I disagree. "Crazy weirdo who kidnaps ponies and operates on them in a shed" is way more edgy than "Crazy weirdo who does weird shit to his patients while they're under the knife but ultimately never hurts them physically".
>>25862406
Oh Joe, you lovable weirdo!Eh. This is more about my weird womb fetish than it is about scientific body horror. Although... I think you may have given me a new fetish, you monster. We'll see what happens.
>>25863338
>I disagree. "Crazy weirdo who kidnaps ponies and operates on them in a shed" is way more edgy than "Crazy weirdo who does weird shit to his patients while they're under the knife but ultimately never hurts them physically".
I'd argue they're equally edgy for different reasons.

I like to read fanfics for the stories. Clop doesn't tend to have a good story, considering the main draw is sex rather than character development.
>>25867681
It's not like you can't have both, but you're right. The majority of clop stories are about the sex rather than the intimacy and character development.

I'll probably do a thing to celebrate the Holiday. It'll most likely be shit.
No joke though, I love Christmas and I'll actually try to find a good thing.
Seriously though any good holiday fics?
>>25869945
what do you want man-
pony christmas is a dumb idea, and for hearthswarming we have an origin story but no canon indication as to how that is actually celebrated several millennia later (aside from throwing a kindergarten tier play)
what do you want, bro? fucking santa hooves or some bullshit?
>>25869969
I don't know something original? Winter wrap up on the show was pretty cool despite it having nothing to do with christmas and shit

>>25868857
>What? I'm especially confused about kunai, since google informs me it's a Japanese dagger and has nothing to do with healing or medicine.
Your Eternal Reward, Dead Ringer and Conniver's Kunai. They're weapons in an online class-based multiplayer FPS focusing on teamwork between different classes, called Team Fortress 2.
>>25870587
5, dropped 2 (Diaries of a Madman and Project Horizons)
Still waiting for Jericho to update.
>>25870587
Just one; Fallout: Equestria. I've got TPC on my RIL list, though.
Also:

First of all, who the fuck writes 70,000 word chapters? Second, who writes three-quarters of a million words that barely anyone reads, and the people who do read it don't even like it?
>>25870597
youre not the one who just started reading diaries, are you?
I dropped The Pack halfway through the first chapter and The Wandering Physicist Adventures pretty early on too. And I just now noticed the writer of TWPA is... wandering physicist. I dont remember why I dropped it, but that may be a clue right there
>>25870613
>who the fuck writes 70,000 word chapters?
I wish I could remember what it was called, but I distinctly remember seeing a fic, possibly a star wars crossover, which had two chapters. Two 120,000 word chapters.
>>25870587
Exactly zero.
The longest thing I've read is, I think, DoWaS, and I'm reading the sequel now.
>>25870587
Jericho is the only one for me, and I'm several chapters behind on it.
Also, I'm a little surprised only three of BlackRoseRaven's fics are on there
>>25870587
Four. MLP Time Loops, Fallout: Equestria, Piercing the Heavens, and This Platinum Crown (though I haven't read any of the chapters of TPC since April of last year).
I could have read War and Peace 7 times instead going by word count.

Yeah, the stupidest one I've read besides DoaM was Rorschach in Equestria, and it was far less autistic.

I wouldn't even call it a turd. It's barely a half-digested dogshit raisin.

Hm, not sure. I'm thinking that maybe mares start giving birth to his kids and realizing what the fuck happened and he gets torn apart by and angry mob or something. I'm trying to have liberal amounts of black comedy to offset the "what the fuck"ness of the whole concept.

If some fanfiction's managed to fundamentally change your life, either its author really shouldn't be writing fanfiction in the first place, or you really should be at the psychiatrist's right now.

Doesn't sound odd at all to me. There's this guy I met in uni that more or less has ended up where he is in life because of a work of fiction. He read Sophie's World at a young age, it had a huge impact on him, he got really into philosophy, went to uni, and now he's in some research thing working with what he loves, and trying to eventually get a job as some kind of lecturer or something. It's been a while since we last talked.

I cannot fathom writing a story over 800,000 words. That's longer than war and peace. Not to mention a lot of those stories only have a few thousand views.
I have a story that's 70,000 words, it took me a year to finish it. A story that beats out a number of those door stoppers in views and likes even.
>>25877750
>>again
I think in a lot of those cases its just a matter of the guy writing it not having a plan outlined and just running with it.
A handful of tards start sucking his cock, so he continues long past a reasonable end point, and if you cant find a good place to stop (or dont want to as that would cause the dicksucking to end as well) just keep it going until the wheels fall off and it implodes. (and then kep going for another 350,000 words)
Merry whatever it is you do or don't celebrate today.
I hope you have fun regardless, Anons.
>>25877750
The Lord of the Rings trilogy is around 500k. That's my personal measure.
And what matters is how you use the words, not how many of them you use. Waste not a word, and pack as much relevant detail and information into every single one of them.
Merry Christmas!

That shit makes no sense. Applejack (and earth ponies in general) are the most proletarian of them all. It would feel much more natural for her to latch on to communist theory instead.
>>25879770
Applejack is a capitalist concerned with sales and would find communism ludicrous and un-Equestrian.
>>25879707
All of fashion pones products are tacky as hell. Even most of the 'good' gala gear was awful

Spells, like solutes, can blend in more or less easily into solid or liquid object. All spells are soluble in air, as this state is considered the actual casting of a spell. Solubility depends on a spell's complexity.
Simple ones, like light spells, can be incorporated into most object. Visual analysis and management spells can be put into certain object only, notably transparent ones as glass or higher quality crystals. Complex ones, like teleportation, are downright almost impossible to put in an object, and remain unstable if done so.
Spell solvability also depends on the solvant. Crystals are considered universal solvants, able to contain most spells due to some magic boogaloo involving their organization. The less an object's structure is organized, the more resistance it opposes to spells. This also takes in account density, making air, even if highly disorganized, able to conduct every spell due to its low density. Resistance is rated with a scale from 0 to 1, 0 being a very high quality, almost transparent crystal and 1 being the most resistant material.
Resistance can also be put to good use. Some spells relying on the spell traversing object can be stopped easily with resistors, or even reflected. Some modern material put in use in new EUP armor are chosen due to their high resistance, and thus offers protection against those spell.

So I'm about to do the most autistic thing I've ever done and write a crossover fic (no I will not be telling what the crossover is), but I need some good Saddle Arabian names. Do these two ponies have a canon name? If not, does anyone have any ideas on some Saddle Arabian sounding pony names? I can't even get through chapter 1 without this.
Anti-TCB was a mistake.I regret ever being one of the first people to get into it.
