> I meant to post this last night but just after I replied to you the /end/ went down again. This is one of the side things that has arisen. 
yeah, one of the shitposting stories you would have in mind for a short while and wanted to have some random fun. You did well because this is like I said before, the closest thread we have used for cheap shitposting and comical spontaneous answers. 
 
> While this is clearly a joke I have been messing around with the idea of using gifs for a medium for an actual story. 
not a bad idea in theory. I mean, you saw that I was innovating and you said: hey let´s try this because why not? It feels kind of weird to read them and it´s much harder to make it great. It´s way more ambitious than using multicolored text because you have to use just commands from the site. However, a gif with the purpose of adding a story...it´s hard to nail it.

The most usual pattern for a gif is by using short texts and clear letters so people notice them easily. Yours stands out for the introduction, Twilight won, fighting happened and the end. Those lines enter in your mind easily because they are short and works pretty well for a quick gif. Normally, they have a punchline and as you had to fix, you had to slow it down in order to read the text. Normally, those huge amount of words (relatively speaking) get replaced and rely more on more images and just put very few lines on them, so the visual effects are more effective for the viewer. 

Or even the words WOW could occupy an image just to intensify the meme and make it clearer for a punchline.
For example:
> Umbridge appears
WOW!it´s Umbridge!
> hey, I am your student
WOW!

 
> This have to be slowed down but it would be interesting to see if a fic or storyline of some sort could work in a gif.
there is potential, I am not going to lie. There are a few hits like the ones I mentioned and you had it pretty clear where you wanted to go but without getting too much into it. Just playing casually with it.

> Another option would be to use gifs the way they were originally intended for storage and transport of images. 
I should have read this before...

> (if you don't have an editor that can open gif files and view each layer don't worry or even put up the effort to install anything right now as this is just me toying around on a secondary objective).
I don´t have anything for it. If you ever go for it seriously, you can link the program. There are several options for it....or even a webm for having the pause button.

> Though the use would be questionable I could see it as a secondary way to transfer fics on /mlp/ if you could fit it into the file size limit.
well, it´s a medium anyway. Although /mlp/ loves gifs like this and having advanced shitposting every now and then instead of playing cheaply with baits and stuff.

>  I still think it's hard to read. Though the "story" isn't really worth reading and is arguably better viewed as a brief amount of text going by in a joking "hey that's retarded and insane" context. If you are curious I can slow it down more or post the text here with minimal effort.
nah, I have read it perfectly except maybe the second to last image with Umbridge because it´s a lot of text for such a short period of time. More retarded than insane though. 

> I actually have a vague idea of a storyline for a modification of this format... but I have two stories which need attention.
someone is going to bring a few early Christmas gifts...
