Shipping and Handling

It sure has been a while since on of these. Anyways, here's another one of my old time favorites. This one definitely goes in my all time favorite fanfiction list. It's an amazing story, one of which I remember always checking everyday for updates for it back when I always went on EQD on my PSP and there was multiple story update posts in a day. As always, this is another piece of fanfiction from my early  days as a brony. Not much to say about it except you should read it. READ IT!!! In the end, this one gets a 10/10 because I see now flaws in it.

Fanfic of The Day #7 Through The Eyes of Another Pony

[Human In Equestria] [Comedy][Adventure]

Author: CardsLafter

Description:

"So yeah, I'm a human.  And now I'm a pony.  No, that's not a joke, though I would laugh if it were.  All I did was party at my place and pass out, only to wake up in Ponyville.  Now you must be thinking I had one too many, and I'm right there with you.  But no drunken hallucination lasts this long and whatever the case, The Nightmare seems to have a problem with me.  A big one.

So now, armed with my cigarettes and some cool unicorn magic, I have to fight off The Nightmare, my own Fanbronyism, and try to find the time to let the ponies give me a name.  I know, I suggested getting a pony name first, but they're pretty excited about that.  Not sure why.  All of the ponies in this town are crazy."

I got a good one for you today. This is one of my all-time absolute favorite fanfics. From my early brony days, this one was one of those that I really got into. This was before I started reading fanfiction on my PSP (what fanfiction I read I read it on my computer). This was one of the fanfics I read before I had actually watched all of the episodes (so I didn't really know who Luna was or what entirely she was supposed to look like) . At the time, it was the longest story I'd read and definitely satisfying. It has a unique sense of humor, which is where the comedy tag comes into play. Hell, the only thing I'd say is missing from the story is the shipping tag. That's not all that's unique. It does have the tendency to give you a mindfuck or two or just confuse you a little bit. Maybe that's just me though (though I'm pretty sure it isn't). This story gets a well earned 10/10 and it's ones of those stories that you definitely should read (or suffer the wrath of rubber Scootaloo)

Fanfic of The Day #6 Fluttershy and Me

Romance Sad Dark Adventure Human

http://www.fimfiction.net/story/89464/fluttershy-and-me

Matthew had been living a life of misery and unhappiness.  But, one day, he stumbles upon his favorite pony, Fluttershy.  Over time, the two form a relationship, and their love grows.  Their love is strong, and it will be put to the ultimate test, undergoing challenge after challenge.  Matthew will learn the true meaning of love, and the Element of Love shall be born.  This is Matthew's story.  The story of Fluttershy and him.

Inspired by My Little Dashie, the Sequel, the Threequel, and Fourth Times the Charm, by ROBCakeran53, ty500600, EpicBG, and PonyManne215 respectively, comes my very first fanfic, Fluttershy and Me.

If you enjoy this story, be sure to check out Fluttershy and Me: Tortured Love and Fluttershy and Me: Without You, the alternate reality stories to Fluttershy and Me.

I take no credit for the cover art.

I know I've missed a few days for fanfic of the day, but I hope this will make up for that. I'm going to keep this one really short though.

 This is one of those great, unique shipping stories. It's got a great plot and it's an amazing story for a first fanfic (BioBoy619 really did a spectacular job writing this). This is a My Little Dashie tier fanfic (of course not as good as My Little Dashie because, really, what could possibly beat that?) and for that, I give this story a 10/10 and would recommend you read it.

Fanfic of The Day #5 Silent Ponyville

Sad Dark Crossover

http://www.fimfiction.net/story/106/silent-ponyville

Pinkie Pie is being tormented by horrific nightmares. Unable to deal with it by herself anymore she seeks out Twilight's help, but will it have been the best decision when she finds herself alone in an abandoned, fog filled Ponyville?

Sequel: http://www.fimfiction.net/story/4676/Too-Shy-for-a-Rainbow

A little late, I know. Anyways, I chose this fanfic for the day because it's a really good dark/sad fanfic. It's not like Cupcakes dark. It's...kinda what you could call psychologically dark. What's also great about this fanfic is you don't need to have ever played Silent Hill or even know anything about it to enjoy this fanfic. Hell if if weren't for the crossover tag, you might not even know it's a crossover. This story was very well written and as you read, it leaves you wondering what's going to happen next. I give this a 9/10 for being a unique fanfic.

Also, there's more of them too.

Fanfic of The Day #4 Cupcakes

[Very Grimdark]

https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9331943/1/MLP-Cupcakes

How about a creepypasta/grimdark one today? How about what introduced me to the fandom. That's right. This bloody story is the first thing I ever saw in the fandom. It was one day when I was playing Garry's Mod that a friend had linked me the EQD Cupcakes page and told me to read it. He said it was disturbing as fuck and I thought "Might as well see what's so horrific about it" and I gave it a read. As I read it, my thoughts were "Ookay...". I wasn't really disturbed by it, I just didn't expect something like that. A little weird. I'd give this an 8/10 for being such a well known fanfic in the fandom and also being what introduced me to EQD (best introduction ever!)

Fanfic of The Day #3 When Trey Came To Town

[Shipping][Random][Comedy] Tags now included


Author: Pook

Description: Trey was an average brony living an average life. That is,
until Twilight shows up in his back yard. Trey winds up being
unintentionally teleported into Ponyville. Not only does this prove
problematic for Twilight, but it also brings quite the romantic commotion
to the little town.

Have the EQD link since there is a bunch of links http://www.equestriadaily.com/2011/06/story-when-trey-came-to-town.html

I chose this fanfic because this was one of those few that I really started following in my early brony days. Everyday, before and after school, I'd always check the story updates hoping to see an update to the story. I remember when it had finally been two weeks since the last update. I'd checked and STILL hadn't seen an update. I was really sad when I realized it was abandoned. Like yesterday's fanfic, this one gets a 9/10, this one for leaving me wanting more and more and always giving me something to look forward to in upcoming story updates.

Fanfic of The Day #2 The Romancing Quest

Author: Doctor Scraps

Description: Twilight is incited to begin a persuit of love and romance as a part of the magic of friendship after Rarity goads her about never having fallen in love before. Misadventures ensue.

 http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7171004/11/My_Little_Pony_FiM_The_Romancing_Quest

Today's fanfic is a very special one. This is the first fanfic I remember reading (if you don't count Cupcakes, but that's a story for another day). It was back when there was only a handful of fanfics that I read. Among them was this. It was when I was still new to the fandom and hadn't seen too many episodes. One of the funniest parts of reading it was when I saw Trixie, I didn't know that Trixie was a mare. I didn't understand the mare/mare fanfics. Still, I continued reading on and in the end, it was a great story. I remember checking EQD on my grandmothers computer (which has dialup), waiting about 10 minutes for it to load up, and seeing the final chapter posted. I was so excited, I waited 30 minutes for the computer to finally load the story. And I can easily say it had been worth the wait. I'd give this a 9/10 for being a great introduction to fanfiction and making me read more than I already did (which I read a lot, since that was back when I was a bookworm).

Fanfic of The Day #1: Sketchy Salad Symphony

"What's it like to live in Canterlot, home of the princesses, assorted renowned celebrities and sophisticated ponies?
Well, it all comes down to who you are, really - and if you happen to be a fairly ordinary earth pony, you can get on with life quite easily with few distractions.
But what happens when life plays you an interesting hand, and suddenly you're thrown into the spotlight?
This is a tale of the everyday, and how it can turn from ordinary to extraordinary with a twist of chance.
This is a tale of friends, of laughter, of love and of life.
This is a tale of who we are, and how we got here.
This... is Sketchy Salad Symphony."

Direct Sequel: http://www.fimfiction.net/story/26622/sketchy-salad-serenata

I've decided to add a new daily post to the schedule. My fanfic of the day. What I will do is pick a fanfic that I've read (and enjoyed) before to be the fanfic of the day, explain why I picked it, and tell a little about my experience reading it. Simple as that.

Anyways, the reason for my choosing of this fanfic is because I'd started reading this back when I didn't have a whole ton of fanfics in my read later list that I'll never get around to reading. It was one where I read the description and became quite interested. When I started reading it, I absolutely fell in love with it. I kept reading it all day, everyday, starting when I walked to the bus stop, when I got on the bus, when I got to school, and often, I'd sneak it out and start reading it in class, and then on the bus ride back, continuing when I'd get home. This is one of the few fanfics I'd give a 10/10 for really drawing me into it and for being amongst my favorite fanfics of all time.
