After reading some fanfic last night for the first time, I decided to begin writing my first one. I am going over to a friends house to watch the football games so I found a good stopping place. I thought I would share what i have so far. It has no title yet...I'll let that come to me later. ------------------------------------ It was a beautiful morning in Ponyville. The sun was rising on a brand new day. Rays of sunshine hit the grass and dew drops shone like diamonds. All was peaceful and quiet. In fact, it was more peaceful and quiet than usual. Usually at this time of the morning the chirping of birds and the frolicking of creatures, big and small, could be heard all around town. However this morning was different. Everything was still and uncharacteristically quiet. That is until it happened.... Rays of bright sunshine began shining through the uppermost windows of Sugarcube Corner, Ponyville’s bakery, and into the room of a sleeping pink earth pony named, Pinkie Pie. Usually the bubbly and cheerful (sometimes to a hyperactive fault) pony would already be up doing something like baking, or decorating for a party she had planned. However, today was unusual. There was nothing she had to do or had planned. So she allowed herself to sleep in a little. Slowly, but surely, the rising sun begun to brighten up her room and Pinkie’s eyes began to slowly open. She moved about like she was about to turn over for a few extra winks of sleep, but something dawned on her. Her eyes begun to open wider and wider. A grin slowly turned into a growing smile. Her eyes now began to twinkle, like stars While all of this was occurring, a small beeping noise began. The sound grew in volume and intensity. The beeping quickly turned into a rattling noise. Then the rattle became a shake. Then the rumbling started... Pinkie Pie’s eyes were now fixated on the alarm clock that was in the corner of her bedroom. It was a new clock that was sent to her six months ago. She had no idea who sent it to her because there was no return address. There was only a letter that told her to set it for 8 AM, exactly six months later. Pinkie Pie, anticipating the payoff, gasped with excitement, threw off the covers, and started jumping up and down on her bed. Even while bouncing, her eyes kept watching the alarm clock as the climax grew near. Just as the rumbling grew to a crescendo “BOOOOOM!” The alarm clock, as if by magic, literally exploded into a beautiful mess. The explosion rung around the room. The noise traveled out the open window and was heard all over Ponyville. Because the air was so quiet on this particular morning, the sound was heard as far as the borders of The Everfree Forest. Pinkie Pie gasped again as streamers and confetti flew in every direction, balloons fell from the ceiling, and a banner unfurled saying “HAPPY BIRTHDAY PINKIE PIE!” “Ohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygosh!!” exclaimed Pinkie as she jumped off the bed and giggled with glee. Then she began to spin letting out a loud “Wheee!” in the process. Dizziness quickly succombed her and she fell on her bed to catch her breath. “Wow, that was the coolest thing that HAS EVER happened!” Pinkie said as if someone was listening. In her hyperactive state, the pony would often speak her mind, even if nopony was around to listen. Then came another noise, this time from downstairs. Pinkie heard it because the force of the alarm clock explosion had opened up her bedroom door. “KNOCK! KNOCK!” ------------------------------- What do you think so far?
Very good for a first fanfic, though it comes off that this is hardly your first time story writing. Also, you live ridiculously close to me.
Thank you. I really enjoy lifting from my own imagination and writing. I don't do it anywhere near as often as much as I should. BTW: I uploaded this to FIMFiction and edited it some. the entire 1st Chapter is done...now just editing.
I have now finished the first three chapters. You can read it so far by following the link in my signature. The alarm clock explosion has led to a scavenger hunt through Ponyville that is just beginning as the 3rd chapter ends. I noted in another thread that this is training to get my creative juices flowing. My next fanfic will build on my idea of a blind pony. I might begin that story where this one leaves off...without making the new character a part of this one (with the character coming to Ponyville following the events in this story).
I have now written through Chapter Six. There's only one chapter left to write and then it will be done. I am also considering an Epilogue. Once I finish I will submit it here so it can be read here as well.
