Beautifully still in the night, I ask myself, would this make for a decent wallpaper on my desktop?
Seriously, it's well done and successfully brings back the sympathy I have for the olden princess. I'm not entirely sure if the art would've been done better if it were a solid color cutout style, but the crayon nicely brings a dream-like state to the scene, so all is good. Now all I hope for is that the person adapting this is fully capable of transferring, yet not copying, the same set of emotions this holds.

Oof. Tough one, kid. There's more fish in the sea.
I'm not sure what it is about crayons but I'm pretty interested in them, and with the theme of this picture I do have to say that they are utilized pretty nicely to give an idea of their age and setting. Really breaks my heart though to have to see that kid get rejected like that though. Overall I'd give it a thumbs up.
Also, nice caption.

Watercolor, nice. I've always wanted to get into that more.
I'd like to see a story be made out of this. It has a lot of potential not only from what's been shown in the picture, but from what also could possibly be added in the future. I'm on board.

You know, first time I looked at this, I thought this was submitted as a mistake or something. Shoutout to >>Hap for this shocking revelation!
I'm still not entirely sure on where I'd place it though...

I miss the old sweetie bot memes that used to go around from one person to the next, but hey, at least we got new memes with our time here.
I'm confident enough to say that I have no idea what the hell is going on in this picture. But still I like it because it covers the topic pretty cleverly. A pony created out of what I assume are the signs that make electrical circuits. But enough of that, what in the ever living hell is that caption?! Are you sending bomb codes? Or do you just need help with your physics homework?

Not only does this have a ton of writing potential, it's also mildly funny. Pretty nice. I'd give it a thumbs up.

Only real complaint is that you missed the opportunity for an even more extravagant background than just the copy-pasted bar of poison joke. However, I still have to say that you sort of reached a weird background state, so I guess it sorta works.

Stop right there, criminal scum. You just drew my wife. I'm confiscating this picture and any other picture you've drawn of her.

No, but seriously, nice drawing. Fits with the theme and everything. I even like the metal gear exclamation mark above her head.

Honestly I'm surprised too after being gone for almost a year. I'd think that at least the population would half but nope. Really shows the passion in writing colorful cartoon ponies some people have.

Here's to another year for this site.

Good luck fighting that fight my dude. You got this.

Following up on n3k1dsk1llz's post, I would like to know this as well. I'm unsure if things have changed since the last time I've been here.

Good luck to those submitting, even with the super bowl and all. I wont be in this time so have fun.

Sweet. I've got no plans for the weekend. Guess I do now.

Oh look, my hat's now relevant.

Merry Christmas, everyone. And have a happy new year.

The point of repentance is that there is a morale to which you learn through your actions or that you promise that you'll never do such sins ever again. If the story was longer you could have used the wrath of the man to bite back at him, or at least allow him to learn his lesson. This is half-repentance, expecting to be forgiven of your sins when you cant even bring yourself to cease them, which, both story-wise and life-wise, is incomplete.

Is this allowed? Original means that its not dependant on an existing copyrighted story. Does this pass with simple name changes?

The copyrighted story being Half-Life.

I thought of this exact story for my prompt. Good thing I didnt write it or originality points would have been taken from both of us.

Also, wow, this is a huge exposition dump. I can't connect to this kind of stuff because there is a lack of a concrete main idea. The story is simply the poor AI's raw thoughts. While its completely jarring to say the least for my immediate feeling toward the character, I receive no afterthought besides "this dude is in pain".

This is a story that would have benefitted if it were longer. I understand their pain, its well written of their stakes in things, but I don't understand why I should convey pain toward them since I have no context.

Maybe if you described in more detail the conflict to which was about to be endured it could have been more captivating, but that would require context and thus a longer story. Maybe you could have followed the could-have-been conflict and attempt to induce the same emotion it could have been more connecting to the reader. I don't know, these are suggestions.

While I'll always consider meta stories to be low hanging fruit, I'll never deny that I always manage to connect to them. You've plucked the strings of my heart, but my heart finds your plucking finger to be coarse. You did just get finished plucking the strings of everyone else in the room, after all.

One is enough. In fact, it's more than enough.

Maybe I should do more than more than enough.

I believeth the reason why such an option as... yandere... isn't included is because this peculiar waifu is of the trash!

Meanwhile, my waifu values a class of sophistication and grace. Such a measly waifu as yours could never hold a flame near the value of mine!

*laughs pompously with class*

im just writing in lowercase to annoy you

I don't know for what purpose, but this really annoys me.

I saw the email in my inbox. That's it. No trickery involved.

Welcome to the WriteOff. Please do remember to not push it. We're in it to have fun!

(I wonder how fast it will take for this to get deleted.)

Wrote something but I'm not going to submit it. I might just save this one for later. Good luck to everyone!

One of my stories I personally don't like, but hey maybe someone else can gain enjoyment from it? I don't know. I'm really grasping at straws with this one, but then again, when aren't I grasping at straws?

Can't wait to get this show on the road!
