Fan Fiction Review #48: Sorcicular Fornication

Talk about eye candy!


Author: darf

Princess Twilight Sparkle is tired of being a stunningly attractive spinster, so she decides to ask out the pony of her desires (whom she decides is Applejack). As is par for the course, things don't go exactly as planned, but Twilight learns valuable lessons about magic and friendship in the process.

Is this tale of unbridled passion good, or is it soooo un-rainbow? Grab your Applnese-to-English dictionary and click through to find out!

Fan Fiction Review #047: Wild, Sweet, and Cool

mlp_logo1_crop31312.png

I've seen a lot of things that look shippy, but this one puts on a reflective belt and yells 'TWIDASH' in my face.

Author: Kwakerjak
After reading a book by Spitfire's personal trainer, Rainbow Dash decides that the best way to get closer to her ultimate goal of joining the Wonderbolts is to add strength training to her practices by having one of her friends ride her. However, when she decides that Twilight Sparkle is just the mare for the job, the pegasus gets a bit more than she bargained for.
I guess it's my job to do just a bit more than freak out at a cover art and try to start a Pinkie mob, though I'll have you know this only got read on direct orders.  They banish ponies here.. anyways, catch the breakdown after the break!

Fan Fiction Review #046: Kiss of the Dark





Drama, Drama, Drama...

Author: Soothing Stone
King Sombra survived his defeat, but just. By the time he returned to form, Twilight became the newest princess of Equestria and the Crystal Empire was restored to its former glory.
He cannot take over Equestria the same way he tried before, but he has a card up his sleeve. Twilight won't see it coming, and Sombra might gain a powerful ally in the process.
And it will all begin...with a book.

This one has a bit of interesting history. It's really one of those things where if you really take something seriously enough, it can have a strong impact on yourself and those around you, no matter how trivial it may seem. This fanfiction apparently made the author, and I quote from him, "[go] through tons of emotions, [lose] faith in the fandom then [gain] it back, and so forth."

Wow. This seems like touchy territory that I should tread carefully on.

.....

LEEEROOOOOYYYYY JEEEEEEENNNKINS!!!!!!!

Fan Fiction Review #043: Death Note: Equestria




Death Note with ponies? My interest has been piqued.

Author: Nonagon
Equestria is growing, and magical savant Twilight Sparkle is disgusted by the crime and corruption this change has brought. Her life is changed forever when she discovers the Death Note, a notebook with inexplicable and deadly powers. She uses this book to pass judgement on those she deems unworthy of life, aiming to create a perfect world free of crime. But when the two Princesses put their best pony on the case, a mysterious detective known only as L, a psychological game of cat and mouse erupts between the two.
Comments contain spoilers. Artwork by blu-red, opening by Anon3mous. Now with its own TV Tropes page.
Well, this sounds like an interesting crossover. I mean, a tool of mass destruction such as the Death Note would be interesting to throw into a world of peace-loving ponies. I wonder what their reactions would be? Does this fic explore the possibilities of the chaos or lack thereof of said object being introduced to this world of love and friendship?

Nope!

Fan Fiction Review #42: The Abundance

Oh, come the f*BUY SOME APPLES*k on!

Author: defender2222
The Sequel to 'Faith and Doubt'.
   It's been two months since the changeling attack and Shining's almost-wedding and much has changed. Twilight Sparkle is now an alicorn and has left Equestria to master her new powers. The sixth element of harmony, the corrupt abstract Doubt, has been reborn in his original form: Faith. He, along with Spike, have gone with Twilight as she sought to heal after the betrayal by her friends and family.
   But Twilight's return to Ponyville will not be a happy one; in her absence her friends Applejack, Fluttershy, Rarity, Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie have been turned into alicorns themselves and the embodiments of their elements. They have seized power and now rule Equestria with iron hooves, using banned magic to turn their friends and family into zealots that obey their every command.
   To save Equestria, Twilight will have to do the unthinkable: form a rebellion and declare war on her friends.
   But will she be willing to make the tough decisions... even if it means choosing between friendship and freedom.
Everything is bad in large doses.
Well, if that doesn't sound like the most unique, non-cliched setup for a story I've ever seen, I don't know what is! Let's review this sucker!

There is no Celestia...

Fan Fiction Review #041: Machine And Might


Futuristic humans in Equestria! How... original?

Author: Kriegor
A massive artificial behemoth made of metal tore through our skies. It loomed over our world, blotting out Celestia's sun and shrouding Luna's moon, leaving those below in the shadows. It sowed chaos and conflict on our nation, something that had not happened in more than a millennium. 
It sits high above us, watching and waiting. What is this monster, and what is to be the fate of Equestria?
I Hate "Human in Equestria."

Fan Fiction Review #027: Under A Luminous Sky


MURDER IN EQUESTRIA… a dime a dozen plot made better? Or just the same old nonsense?

Author: JakeThe Army Guy… (the one from the FOB’s lit. division?)
Ponyville, the humble village known for its peaceful tranquility, is shaken to its core when a body is discovered in the Everfree Forest. As the townsponies grieve, the strange, pale Special Agent Bentgrass, from Their Majesties' Royal Investigative Service, arrives at the Books and Branches library and drags Twilight into a world she's only read about: lies, corruption, suspicion, and murder. Faced with an indifferent police force, and Agent Bentgrass's infuriating methods, Twilight must put the pieces together and catch the killer. But as blood continues to spill and questions pile up, one thing is terrifyingly clear: in the dark of the Everfree, much more is at play than mere murder.
So a fic by one of our own fic reviewers…..oh imma have some fun with this one.

Fan Fiction Review #025: But You Surpass Them All





Spangle: "This is one of our new guys in the Literature Division here at the FOB. He can be a bit... harsh, but I think he's fair. Anyway, I'll let you read his first review."

So another Applejack’s parents fic… is it any good? No, I'm not going to tell you here.

Author: Pascoite

"Strong" is definitely a word that describes the Apples, and their family bonds are one of their biggest strengths. But Applejack will need to show her vulnerable side to get the most out of this day. 
With her friends' help and a few cracks in her armor, Applejack is going to make this Mother's Day the best one yet.
How will this one stack up against the rest? Seriously, do you think I’m going to tell you before the break?

Tango Sierra here of Mare Team Six is a formidable team leader, and an even better shot. Of course, teleportation skills really help when it comes tactical insertions.

In addition to that, she's well read enough to know how to call for proper fire support in this weeks ARTillery Inbound!

Fan Fiction Review #020: Not in My Air Force You Don't!


IT HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION THAT THIS STORY HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM FIMFICTION. IF ANYONE HAS A LINK WHERE IT MAY BE FOUND, PLEASE LET US KNOW VIA EMAIL.

'Sup my military bronies? Spangle here with another review... yes I still do these! Especially when the story is about the US Air Force!

This story was recommended to me by one of my fellow Airmen, to whom I can only say "What did you just make me read."

Author: Twystron500
I'm not joking. This is close to how it really is! The insanity that I deal with everyday! This story definitely deserves the random tag. It's also loosely based on true events in my life. Rainbow Dash is the leading Senior NCO of a Com squadron. Pinkie's this spastic Technical Sergeant. Twilight is a grumpy Master Sergeant. Fluttershy is the adorable Commander. Yay.
What do I mean by that comment? Find out after the jump!

SITREP #019: Season 3 Announced for... Marine Corps Birthday?



Well... this is a pleasant surprise/coincidence.

Season 3 of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic is airing on November 10th, 2012 when 237 years ago the Marine Corps was founded in Tun Tavern, Fillydelphia. Did they do this intentionally to subtly give a shoutout to of the one of the most rising subsections of the Brony fandom? Maybe. Then again, we should hardly be surprised considering 1. We're awesome. 2. We're Tara Strong's favorite Bronies. 3. Shining Armor is in the episode and seems to be playing a game of tag with Lord Somber.

Post in the forums about your speculations! Will this season be awesome? Or will it be more awesome?

Interview: Tara Strong


This was a close one. Canterlot Gardens was coming to a close, and Tara had just been so busy, that it looked like the interview wasn't going to happen... and then I realized that WE ARE THE MILITARY BRONIES.

As the saying goes, I went to guns! I took action! I went directly to Tara and I... well, I turned a bit into Fluttershy and politely asked if it would, umm... if we could possibly... you know, maybe interview her after she was done signing autographs... if that was okay with her, that is.

And it worked! ~yay~

Catch the interview with the Brony Queen after the jump!

Songs for the Troops #018: A Final Twilight


Don't mess with him, he's got a baseball cap!
This song is called "A Final Twilight" and it's kind of farewell song from both the creator, and Twilight's perspective.

A little sad, but hopefully a new recruit is about join the ranks of military bronies everywhere. Hey, soilders, he's going to Army basic, and aiming for Special Operations. Wish him luck and maybe give him some support for his next step into his brave new world.
