Wait let me get this straight you are either taking my idea or just making a spin off of it!?!?!

No, I don't like straight faced fanfictions, especially ones that feature any alicorn FCs. The fastest way to make a character impossible to take seriously is making them an alicorn, they're basically the instant Mary-Sues of the FiM fandom.
But if the purpose of the fanfic is to point out and make fun of the stupidity that comes from most other "serious" fanfics then it works.

Hey I didn't do anything.
…Oh my Celestia.
He did it.
HE FINALLY REALLY DID IT.
From the guy who brought you those other videos of him incessantly screaming songs from the show, it's…
At the Gala!

Grace's purpose is too make fun of all the popular FiM characters but may change. Might make her just a unicorn. Depends.

Then what did you mean by exploit?!?!?!
New ponies tomorrow and I'm probably not going to be able to watch it until much later in the day because of other business…
(I really need to free up my Saturdays, that's why).
Also didn't the previous pony generations have movies? What do you guys think a gen 4 movie would be like?

Well, I'm working on a (pretty ridiculously long) guide on how to make a character who's believable, relatable, and interesting enough to make for a good lead and do justice to the series. I've noticed that, while this community is amazing in a lot of ways, creating decent FCs is NOT one of them.
Also, Nyx is not a FiM character, and despite what quite a few "past sins" fanboys will tell you she's not even a very good FC.

So much for the black body
Back again.
Blargh, this just reminds me I have my OC fanfic sitting and collecting dust. Might work on it if I find myself bored.
I think alicorn OCs would be Mary-Sue/Gary-Stus instantly for a good reason, because if your average alicorn is anywhere like Celestia/Luna… yeah.

Like I said, the version of Grace I posted is merely a prototype. I do plan to change her a bit. In fact….I may start right now.
…I'm gonna go look at it. Was just stating my opinion of le topic at hand.
Brb after I've checked it out, and watched Citation's video.

The old movies, I've herd, were horrible and make you want to drown yourself in brain bleach. A G4 movie would be good if they did it right and found a subject that wasn't too little girlish, maybe like an extended episode.

Oh my goodness. Look what you've done.
@ Connor
Oh yes I'm sure they were bad, likely even worse than the old shows themselves, I'm just wondering what a gen 4 movie would be like after seeing how good the somewhat serious business moments of the show can be.
(you know, because movies based off of cartoons usually turn out more dramatic than the show itself).
Mother of god. NOOOOO!!!!

Angry and opinionated Brony is angry and opinionated.
I can't really disagree with what you say (because I don't know what makes for "good" fanfiction…I just read what I think I'll like, and I keep reading what I like.) I've actually agreed with a lot of what you've said on the thread (even before this,) and I'm all for someone helping others to make themselves better.
But I'll offer a couple of tips for the fanfiction guide itself:
For example, you may hate Past Sins and/or the character Nyx, but you have to be able to criticize the character objectively. The language you use has to be objective and not evocative.
Also, what good is having a "well-writen" or "good" fanfiction if no one likes it? If you're going the make your story public, then that audience should like it (in this case, mostly Bronies.) You'll have to argue that Past Sins and other similarly-liked stories are bad and why they are bad in the midst of people liking the story (which I'm not sure can be done.)
@Aerostat: Thanks.
@Connor: twitches once

Ok guys this may sound a bit off topic but to make it a little bit more on topic imagine these 2 people as ponies:
If you got to pick between two people to kill who would it be?
Option A: Justin Bieber.
Option B: Rebecca Black.

Turn them to stone and bury them. It's not technically killing them.
@Ric: Kind of a crappy topic anyways, but I might as well weigh in.
Really, I'd pick one of two options;
*Leave them alone, not worth the time
*Why choose?

Neither.
Banish both to the moon.
Both break free after a thousand years.
