My goodness, Joe! That was a fantastic mission, one of the best I've seen in a while. Lots of originality, Word-World mechanics, novel resolution methods, mini-Discords (I can't help it, I love them). This is one mission I'll definitely re-read. And I will leave the original fic to its grimdark, authorbatted grave.
Well done you! This may have actually goaded me into finishing a mission every once in a while.
Amazing Job! by

You did an amazing job on this. You really made the most out of the fic for a mission, that is for sure. Your agents reactions really set the tone for how horrible the fic is (Though I still have to read it sometime).
The switching to another version of the story was interesting too, it really shows how weird the entire thing is. While making the agents confused.
The bit with Monty was great too, really surreal. It was a cool way to use the horribleness of the fic for something interesting.
The bit where they snap and charge at Not!Pinky was brilliant, and perfectly done. And showing the canons all okay, and having them be a bit confused, but still okay, and in-character was a great touch too. I'm glad Not!Pinky got her just desserts.
The epilogue was good too, it's nice to see that the bit was okay. A pony agent will be interesting to read. All in all, it was a super job! :D

Excellent mission, even just the bits of the horridfic you included in the mission were enough to turn my stomach. MLP: FiM is definitely the *wrong* place to set a torture fic.
Also: I love the way you ended it. The way you had the ponies react to not remembering what appeared to have been one hell of a party was highly amusing. (And fits with what little I know of them, having only watched the first couple of episodes.)
Nicely Done! by

On behalf of My Little Pony: Friendshi is Magic (Bronies and Pegasisters alike), thank you for killing this... abomination.
I look forward to seeing the continuing adventures of Fritz and Silas... not to mention the missions of Narain and Snapshot...
Awesome! :D by

That was a great mission there. Absolutely hilarious, incredibly creative, and just all around great. Especially the temporal bit and everything snapping back.
Also, unicorn agent! Yay! :D
Fun times were had with this mission. I guess your next interlude will be the party? I can't wait to see what goes down with that. :D
Once again, great mission! =D

Most impressive sir, most impressive indeed. I have never read the badfic in question but if its half as bad as you hinted at then I never wish to so much as set eyes on the thing. Bravo to you sir on tackling such a horrendous creation.
Also, Silas...what kind of alien is he? All the Emperor references made me think Warhammer 40k, but the descriptive pieces just didn't fit with what I know of the aliens there.

I read Cupcakes, and a few of the alternate endings (don't ask why, I have no idea myself!). It made me feel... dirty for even having the images in my head, especially given how much I love MLP:FiM.
This mission was excellent, I especially liked the Word World trying to reject the fic and the ensuing temporal fluctuations. New mission-mechanics are always welcome in my opinion and this one worked really well.
Kudos to you for taking on such a horrid affront to Celestia.
P.S. Mini-Discords! Cuuute! I want one! ^_^

This was excellent! Or, dare I say, legen(wait for it)dary.
I'm relieved this horrid Not!Pinkie got what she had coming for her, and you really captured the spirit of the show well at the end - good thing nopony (except Snapshot) will ever remember this nightmare. Some parts of that fic really made me cringe and at the end of it, I just wanted to give poor Dash a good hug.
On the topic of Snapshot: I'm so excited to see what lies ahead of her! She sounds like she has great agent potential.
So great job handling this monster of a badfic, and take this pot of delicious Maultaschen as a reward! :D
Excellent work. by

I already told you this in private, but I think it needs to be reiterated, in this case.
You did a good job- an excellent one- with what you had to work with. Your pacing was spot on. The bits at the end where fantastic, and I loved the ending line.
Like I said, I knew you could do it.
Good job. This is definitely one of the best missions I've read for a long time, bar none.
