Shit. I want to be in this one but no prompts were submitted. Could we get a random prompt? Maybe "No Prompt Here"? I didn't realize this was likely.

I was about to make my first FF post in a year to promote the Writeoff.

Why yes, I am amused the moment I'm like time to try my hand at this there's no prompts submitted.

I'm going with 'No Prompt Here' as my prompt until further notice.~

>>Dream
I'm not sure the event will run. I'm pretty sure we will need Roger's intervention or we won't be able to submit.

Dammit.

>>Trick_Question
The event will run. It'll just go up as another TBD.
I usually in these circumstances select a title phrase with the initials TBD and run with that

Yay!!! Thank you thank you thank you! I'll promote it tonight.

After ten thousand years, I return!

How's everyone been?

Hang on, let's actually use the account I left here.

Alas:

I haven't had time to put anything together for this contest, but it's nice to see folks here again!

Managed one this time. Had to go find my password again.

I do love the euphemism of the dynamic disassembly processes, though when it's intentional, it is merited. In all, these are some delightful scenes, though they don't really cohere into a complete story. Don't get me wrong, this a great sample of Luna joining the Apollo program (whether they like it or not,) but it doesn't stand on its own. There's also the question of how it ties into the prompt, but that's a pretty loose consideration with this one. Still, thoroughly enjoyable read. Thank you for it.

(Also, I love the idea of Flurry Heart as a pop star to rival the Beatles. The Crystal Counterinvasion, anyone?)

Some considerable fun with acronyms in the title, I see.

In all, this has a strong foundation, but it needs more time in the oven, if you'll pardon the mixed metaphor. I do like playing with this innocuous part of the princessipals' character design and the implications of the diarchs' abdication, but the story never really has a chance to develop before it transitions to the Celestias talking it out. There are definitely good ideas here, but it needs a bit to figure out what it wants to be.

Still, definitely leave in the flashback montage. Poor Sunset. XD

This is certainly an important issue, but too often, it feels like you're presenting arguments through the ponies rather than considering their voices, especially some of the debates between Starlight and Cheerilee. There's a good message here, but it's delivered with all the subtlety of a sledgehammer. (Still, sometimes that's necessary.) Twilight noting how bribable Spoiled is was funny, though.

(And speaking from experience, those in the trans person's corner slipping on their pronouns is very true to life.)

This is an interesting one. The "very special episode" character voicing cut into the suspension of disbelief, but I can't help but feel like the impact of the story would be diluted if you cut back on it. It'll take some fine adjustment to make it feel more genuine while delivering the same message. I wish I could offer more constructive criticism there beyond the equivalent of a contractor sucking a breath through his teeth as he looks at something expensive.
