RECOMMENDATIONS ARE CLOSED. PLEASE STOP RECOMMENDING FICS. THANK YOU.</u>

Haha, I put the show title in there! :la: What do I win?

I just whipped this up today. I had an ortho appointment this morning followed by shopping, because after getting back from the cottage, we realized that we had no food...
We have food now.
That was so irrelevant...
Anyway, all I had to do was look through the fanfic recommendations you guys made and draw quick reaction panels to them. There were fewer than I thought, but it still takes a while. You can see that I got lazy and shaved off some time by not drawing eyes very often. I'll drop the links to those fics at the bottom of this description...if I can find them...

I originally wanted the reactions to go on a bit longer, but I was tired and low on space. That's why for A Fun Day I only put Scoots and Dash instead of Scoots and all the main six (yes, I know I'm supposed to say 'mane' but I don't like to do that because it's technically not correct)...low on space. I would've liked to put Pinkie in there with her straight hair so that the change in the next panel didn't seem so random, but whatcha going to do?
Speaking of that, I actually was going to have her poof back near the top of the page, but I totally forgot and when I remembered, there was no easy way to slip it in...so I stuck it at the bottom. Not the best solution, but I have never claimed to be in any way professional.

I kind of wanted the last panel here to be the second last and have the last one be a big shot of all the ponies involved laughing together, but that sadly didn't work out.

I guess that's all I have to say about this comic specifically...now onto the sappy stuff about the whole experience!

First off, I just want to say (again), thank you guys so much. I've gained at least 50 watchers since I started this (and (I'll probably lose those watchers after this is submitted :XD:) and without all 50 of you, this comic might not be here. When I first started Ponies Read Fanfiction, I just did the first four during my winter break for fun. Then someone suggested a fic for the fifth one...and things just grew. Eight months later, I've done 29 comics. Wow. I just...I never expected this. I'm honestly amazed at the continuing support of you guys when there are comics out there that are better planned and better drawn. No, don't tell me this is well drawn, because it isn't. I'm not afraid to admit that, because I can do better than this if I really try. However, when I first started the series...I couldn't. I feel like it's faithful to the comics that I draw in this style...but I'm getting off topic. You guys are so supportive of me, and I haven't gotten a single mean comment. At least...not directed towards me...be nice to each other, you guys!
I guess what I'm saying is that if not for you guys, I wouldn't be writing this. You've helped me to grow as an artist and a deviant. That sounds weird...you know what I mean.
I know I always complain about how exhausting it is to draw this series and how much work it is...and that's all true...but it's also a lot of fun. Doing something like this...you just have to be able to have fun with it. I've had problems, yeah. but who hasn't? I'm really glad that I was able to share this series with all of you and I'm so glad you enjoyed it enough to read this message here. This IS the end of this series. However, feel free to create your own. I don't own this concept...I just own these PARTICULAR comics.
That's another thing...for the first time, someone stole my art. It was one of these comics.
The person got banned, but I thank the person who informed me whose username I will probably look up later to put here. Please guys, don't steal my art or my OC. I mean, if you ask and credit, you can use Sugar Pie, but you have to do BOTH of those things.
This got so random and off topic...
Anyway, I'll leave off with another thank-you...and this:
Ponies Read Fanfiction doesn't just belong to me. I mean, the comics do, so don't take them, but that's not the point. The whole idea belongs to all of us as a community. You guys suggested fics, and you guys kept this thing going. I drew it, yeah, but it was a group effort. We're our own community and anyone is welcome.

That was a terrible ending to a speech -.-

Hah, anyway, here are the fics:
[link] Pattycakes (with commentary)
[link] The Cutie Mark Killers
[link] Onigokko (spelled it wrong in the comic--whoops!)
[link] Rocket to Insanity
[link] Blue's Blood
[link] Rarity's Generous Plan
[link] A Fun Day

Cupcakes = gruesome but well written.
Rocket to Insanity = more of a psychological thrill (till the end).
Silent Ponyville = well written adventure horror.
S.A.M. = Just Weird, like it was some sort of bizarre, disgusting fetish.

Yeah, Silent Ponyville had much more of an effect on me than any of the other stories I read.
SAM was a trollfic. Frankly, I was disappointed. There were so many people freaking out about it that I was expecting something really horrifying and well written.

What are all of the fics that were read?

Looking for some good reads? Here's the full list of fics that appeared in the comics, though I will say that not all of them are particularly wonderful:

Cupcakes
Rarity's New Dress
Rainbow Factory
Sweet Apple Massacre
The Experiments of Twilight Sparkle
That's Once
Harvest
Cheerilee's Garden
The Grand Ponyville Picnic
Spike's Descent
Trixie's Funhouse
Derpy's Day
Dark Side of the Moon
Pattycakes
Cutie Mark Killers
Rocket to Insanity
Blue's Blood
Onigokko
Rarity's Generous Plan
A Fun Day

One other good one that didn't end up appearing in the comics is The Secret Life of Rarity. It's rather long, but I enjoyed it.

Darn, if I only I had found this in time to get Pages of Harmony on here... oh well, I still see some pretty good ones I've read. :)
Reply
:iconpicklepiecow:
Yeah, I was linked to Pages of Harmony sometime shortly after I finished this series, I think, but I've absolutely loved the story so far.
Reply
:iconwarriorsparrow:
Aw, glad you like it so much! :D Don't worry, I hope to have an update on that once finals are over at the beginning of May. :D

Maybe you could do some sort of Ponies React thing with Pages of Harmony someday?... even just a little one?... *big Sweetie Belle eyes*

I'm not planning to do any more Ponies Read Fanfiction in the future. People have asked me to do fanfiction reviews, so maybe I'll do a review of it, but Ponies Read Fanfiction is done.
Reply
:iconwarriorsparrow:
I can understand why, you put a ton of work into those comics!:D. And I'd be totally fine with a review if you wanted to do it, but let me tell you - you think it's intense now? The intensity's gonna be turned up quite a bit very soon... as in, starting with the reveal next chapter. ;)
