Pre-Reading: "Tempest Shadow: Operation Firework" · 8:34am Oct 24th, 2017
Hiya everyone!
I'm very proud to announce the release of one of the stories I've pre-read for, Tempest Shadow: Operation Firework. Warning: minor spoilers of the My Little Pony movie included.

This is the result of a collaboration between me and one of my idols here at FIMFiction, Crowley. I absolutely love his works. He was a big inspiration to join the community several years ago and to begin writing MLP stories. So it was super awesome to have this chance to work with him.
Description
The story is a sequel to the My Little Pony movie starring the reader, an Elite Operative of the Canterlot Royal Guard. The protagonist lost his partner in the invasion of Canterlot by the Storm Guard. In what seems like a twist of fate, his previous enemy is now his new partner. Tempest, wanting to redeem herself and her actions, joins the Elite Operatives in a mission that threatens the fate of all Equestria.
It's a fun thriller romance story with elements of mystery and crime-solving thrown into it. There's lots of cute, emotional moments throughout the adventure, as well as some great (but skippable) clop. This might not reach My Little Dashie levels of emotion and drama. It does deliver a heavy punch and a climax that's sure to please most readers however (pun intended).
My Thoughts
I'll be writing a full review of this later on Crowley's story.
Long story short though, it's a fun, heart-lifting journey with great scenes and some really cute romantic moments. That said, the prose could use some tightening up, there are many places where Crowley tells instead of shows emotion, and the mystery could be a lot stronger.
Overall however, it's a fun, lighthearted story that I had the pleasure to pre-read for.
I'm ok with this. Thanks again for your help in the proof-reading!
