A Fizzling Hope

by Shanenator
Discord hatches a rather devious backup plan.

For the second time, the Elements of Harmony have been used to turn Discord into an inanimate statue of stone. But Discord is much cleverer then anypony really gives him credit for. Just moments before being completely immobilized, Discord hatches a bold backup plan to prevent himself from being imprisoned for another thousand years. His plan will shatter the Element's friendships, snub Celestia right in her smug little snout, and teach one pony about the bitterness of love and betrayal. And all it takes is one little pony struck with a minor bout of amnesia…

Join him on his adventures across Equestria as he struggles to realize who he is, finally find his true calling in life, make some real friends, and discover who he was always meant to be… but can he possibly overcome what destiny has in store for him?

My first fanfic here (boy have I seen that a lot, but don't let that put you off I'm not new to writing ;)). Reviews and critiques appreciated. This is intended to be like a novel, so it IS going to be a LONG story. So keep that in mind if you think the first few chapters are a bit dull. Any proper story needs adequate character development, after all!

EDIT: TREMBLE IN FEAR AT MY MASTERY OVER MS PAINT!! MWAHAHAHA!!
EDITEDIT: Nahh bored now. I like dat Discord face. He is scheming…oh, yes…
