Hmm... Shall I read it now, or shall I read it later. Decisions decisions.

My, my, dear friend. This is far better than I had first perceived. It is a splendid piece of work, and I only detected but a single error in the whole thing. Very well done. I cannot wait for more.

Ah, and the reference was quite humorous indeed. I couldn't help but think of Keagos as Sheogorath in dragon form. Quite fun indeed. :pinkiehappy:

seems like a great story keep it up:twilightsmile:

Your choice, just do read it, please, or at least give it a chance.:twilightsmile:

Thank you :pinkiehappy: I will, it might take a while, but I'm already a few thousand words into the next chapter.

We have a genius here! Everybody listen to this handsome fellow.
Anyway, I haven't played in a long time, but I had to do it, it felt so right. Yea, I was thinking about Sheogorath while writing him
What was the error?

A word was missing from a sentence... shit I should have recorded which one. I'm not going back to check either! Over 8000 words? :rainbowhuh: BUCK THAT SHIT. :rainbowlaugh:
Maybe if my OCD becomes strong enough, I will check again, but for now, my sanity is more important! :eeyup:

Yea! I just submitted this thing to EQD and it wasn't instantly rejected! Yea!
Unfortunately, I don't think/know if it will get on the full site, but they have on there that 80% of stories submitted get insta rejected, so I'm happy :pinkiehappy:
If it does eventually get rejected, then I'll just have to try harder :rainbowdetermined2:.

This review was brought to you on behalf of Authors Helping Authors

Name: Puppets of Darkness

Grammar Score out of 10: 7

Pros:
Nice plot and excellently written so far.
Good, classic characterization.
Very amusing dialog at times.

Cons:
A high, sometimes annoying, amount of run-on sentences.
Far too much use of commas and tending to drag sentences out.
In heavy need of proof reading.

Notes:
Okay first off, I would like to say before anything else, that this seems to be a very promising story if done correctly and with several plot twists. Although this was just a prologue, it was very well done and I look forward to more. However, it suffers from long, running sentences, a fair sum of which turn into run-on sentences. You could really have something great here, it just needs cared for and properly nurtured. All-in-all, very inauspicious plot-wise for our beloved dragons and I give it 3/5 cupcakes. (No, not those kind)

Enjoy the review, and please help me out by looking over Genesis. Thank you.

Never stop loving,
-Power to the Bronys

Thanks for the review! I know I need to work on using less commas, I've had that problem for a while, but the run on sentences thing is new. I'll do some research and try to get better :pinkiehappy:. I'll definitely give your story a look and a review... But it might take a few days before I get to it, I have a lot of stuff I have to do, but I will get around to it. And again, thanks for the review and critique!

No problem. I enjoy looking over other ponies' works and giving an honest opinion. If you want, I could go over that prologue again and point out where the run-ons are. But your call on that.

But I legitimately enjoyed your story. It's definitely got that "I need to find out what the buck happens!" feel to it, which is excellent.

2702841
If you don't mind that would be excellent :twilightsmile:!
Good to hear that people are enjoying my story and that it isn't a failure.

2702999
Alright, than I shall do so. :moustache: However, it may take a few days, and I will need your email address (you can PM it to me). On a side note, do you use or have available Microsoft Word?

Fantastic! This looks like the beginning of a new Pony Epic, 8000 WORD PROLOGUE and shows great promise :twilightsmile: please continue writing; I've been looking for a story like this forever! Not only can I see this unraveling into a massive story, your writing and character's POV's seems realistic and completely interesting! The involvement of dragons, Luna, and Discord (his being mentioned) already have me pacing- WRITE MORE FASTER!!! :raritydespair: Although, please don't write too fast to lose quality :pinkiesad2: It took me barely more than reading the first paragraph to like and favorite this story, and especially I enjoyed Keagos's queues in conversations! :pinkiehappy:
Can't wait for more- Flutterguy33 :yay:

Thanks for reading, and I'm glad you liked it :pinkiehappy:! But... well everything you said helps with knowing what I got right, but I would prefer to know what I got wrong first. Do you have any suggestions or comments as to how to make it better :twilightsmile:?

REVIEW

Reviewer: Arcticbrony

The following review is as objective as possible but could eventually contain some subjective influences. I'm Norwegian by blood and a Viking by heart. So with my helmet on and my axe in hand I’ll get to work.

Once you’ve posted your story in the group A For Effort you’ve accepted to be reviewed. No review is made to humiliate the writer but to make him grow up and enhance his skills.

Name of story : Puppets of Darkness

Grammar: 8.5 you had a tendency to drag your sentences at times, making some parts a bit tedious to read.

Spelling: The only thing I found was a word that was missing. Although it was in a dialogue so it may have been intentional. (Hate dialogue for that reason.)

Sha'oren stopped a few feet away from Luna before asking one more question, "After this is over do you think that (we?) will aid you in your fight for the throne?"

The story is certainly interesting, and does an excellent job of catching the reader's attention.

You also make it very easy for the reader to create a mental image with your descriptions.

It's a concept that i have not seen before. From where it currently stands, it had a lot of potential.


Approved
It has a few flaws, but nothing a good proofreader can't help you with.

This is good! Can't wait to see what happens next :)

Goodness, an evil!Luna fanfic in this day and age? I thought these went extinct long ago.
