Many years ago, before Granny Smith was called 'Granny' and before Sweet Apple Acres had quite so many acres to its name, the very few citizens of that tiny frontier town called Ponyville knew the Everfree Forest only for what exited it.

Those who chose to settle in Ponyville knew the risks in living so near to the wood. But when a pack of deaf timber wolves threatens to attack the town, it's up to four ponies to find a way to chase them off—or to find a new home.

This was really sweet and exciting! I like the characters you've written for this - it's easy to see the characters from the show in them, but they also have their own flavour. I particularly liked the Mighty and Fearsome Smoky Mirror! And yay for teamwork! Definitely got my vote.

Thanks! I think I might write a sequel to this, in a couple months (mired in a few writing projects right now, along with designing a Pathfinder adventure for some friends... >_>). Just gotta think of a proper challenge for these four. Maybe something with less action than I usually do, I think that might be fun. :pinkiecrazy:

So, in response to my previous (deleted for melodrama) post, I don't think I'm gonna drop this story. That would run counter to the review's purpose. I'll have to just do my best to work it out sometime in the distant future. I have Kinship--my pony book--and an original fiction novel to edit in the meantime. :yay:

I can't believe it took me this long to notice the grammatical error in the first sentence. "Many years in Ponyville's past" may not be technically wrong, but it's very dubious. Stupid stupid goblin creatures.

I do not understand why this has more dislikes over likes. The story is good and so is the writing. Here, have mine.

Thanks! Much appreciated, chap. :pinkiesmile:

Pathfinder! Woo! ^.^!

:yay::eeyup:

1596370 Yep! Just finished writing up another session, too.
Also, I don't usually ask this, but if you liked this story, could you do me a huge favor and Like it? It's got a pretty ugly array of Dislikes. Of course, if you didn't like it...in the immortal words of Joss Whedon:

This is a time for quiet.

:twistnerd:

Sadly, I have not read it yet. I read stories in chronological order of when I put them on my reading list. . . This was the most recent one I put on in a list of twelve stories. . . =/. I WILL get to it eventually but it may take a while. Sorry.



:yay::eeyup:

1598322 Oh, that's fine. I feel bad just asking, but this is by far my most unpopular work of the three I've put up. If you don't like it, I'd actually prefer it not be a time for quiet--I eventually hope to edit this story, after all, and knowing why it's got as many Dislikes as Likes would be helpful.

When I get to it I'll let you know. Honestly the reason I put it on my waiting list was because I really liked your story with mr creepalot >.<

:yay::eeyup:

Alright, I said I would get to it and i have. . . From what I got of it, it seems pretty good, although for some reason something seemd. . . off, something about the prose or something. I am extremely tired, it's past midnight. I'll look back at this tommorow when Imo more awaake and, if you want (I think you kinda asked without really asking something about reading between the lines, I could be wrong, never was good at infering stuff) I will see if I can't place maybe why this isn't as popular as other stuff you have done. But for now heres a thumbs up

Yeah the huge amount of dislikes is kind of baffling to me. This is a really cute and solid fic.

2004756 Thanks for saying so! There are two possible reasons (besides the obvious "not that good" reason). One is the presence of an all-OC cast. The other is that it was written for a contest, in which pretty much every story got Dislikes from other writers seeking to bias potential voters against the competition.

But honestly? I think it's probably just because the OCs aren't as fleshed out as they need to be. I have these characters in my head, but I don't think I do a great job introducing them. This story could have been slowed down, for sure.

Someday I'll edit it. Maybe when I'm done with my other three unfinished works. I actually have a whole novella based around these four jokers, so there's no way I'm just gonna abandon 'em. :rainbowlaugh:

2005001 Well let me know when you do I'd love to help :twilightsmile:
