Pencil Neck


T

Time passes, and so do the ponies you love. Equestria is slowly falling down on its knees and Twilight could care less about what is happening to the world around her. Tired of Celestia's selfishness, Twilight has run away, and is traveling Equestia. She is learning to survive and only wishes to be alone.

But how much can one world change in one thousand years? What if all the peace and happiness that Equestria once knew was being taken away? And who would still stand up and fight to gain back that peace?


criticism is welcomed! Seriously, I need to know.

:fluttercry: :raritycry: :raritydespair: Why?! *immense crying* I love stories like this, telling about Twilight's life becoming an immortal Princess. But this time Princess Celestia is being a heartless bitch!! :fluttershbad:

Okay, now that I'm done with that, I have some other things to say....

I really think you should go and check this again. There were several grammar errors, plus the words, unless it's a name, shouldn't be capitalized after quotations. "It just looks weird," The person said. And another thing, it should be a comma, not a period. "Also quite odd." Shouted the person. It should look like this:

"Hello, Pinkie," said Twilight. :twilightsmile:

"Hello Twilight," replied Pinkie. :pinkiesmile:

Another thing is, to me, you used said way too much. Makes the story uninteresting. It seems like you forced this dialogue in some parts, like when Twilight was shouting but she 'said' it. And other parts you used the present form of words, instead of the past, making it sound forced. :flutterrage:

But just look through the story again, edit grammar mistakes, stuff like that. (Choosed is not a word). (You also used blowed in a very awkward spot, when they were on the balcony).

Over all, it was a very well written story. I would like to seem more! :pinkiehappy: :pinkiesmile: :rainbowwild:

Thanks, I'll get right on that! :twilightsmile:

I have to know, how did you get so many dislikes?

it is so godt. :twilightsmile:

I don't know. Maybe spelling errors, or it's not their taste.

There's an interesting idea for a story here, but the atrocious grammar and spelling errors have turned me off. You need to get a proofreader and an editor!

THANK YOU!

No seriously, I needed the advice!

The blue unicorn never had the chance to scream in pain, and fell on to the floor with blood flowing out of his limp body.

Twilight took a deep breath, and began to restore her energy. The alley was infested with bodies with bloody holes in their bodies. She levitated a handkerchief from her cloak, and cleaned her bloody knife.

Try to avoid repetition like this. Maybe add some more description to make the scene seem more vibrant? Something like

The blue unicorn never had the chance to scream in pain, and fell into the grime beneath, blood pooling around his corpse.

Twilight took a deep breath, and began to restore her energy. The alley was filled with bloody corpses now. In a practiced sweep, she levitated a handkerchief from her cloak, and cleaned the gore slathered knife.

Twilight walked up to the green earth pony who was on his side; he couldn't move because of a hole in his leg. Twilight grabbed him with her magic, and levitated him in front of her. He was in complete fear, and his adrenaline only made it worse.

Emphasis mine

EDIT - More repetition

She turned on the hot water from the sink, and levitated a bar of soap in front of her bloody face. She rubbed her hooves between the soap, and was careful not to drop it. She levitated the soap next to sink, and began to wash her face. Twilight turned off the hot water, and levitated the remaining water to her face. The foam & water dropped from her face, and disappeared into the sink. She grabbed the blue towel next to her, and dried her face before looking at the mirror. Twilight stared at her reflection again, but was only interested on her face. Once she was done inspecting her face she returned to her bed, and began to read some of her books in her bag.

Repetition is like bumps on a beloved vinyl record, it just takes you straight out of the content you were enjoying

"If, however, you don't know why or how you failed the answer is quite simple, but it begins with one question…have you protected your families from the Blackdogs?" Twilight asked.

"Magic Gems aren't only for absorbing magic, but also to store magic! The spell I used to keep those Guards asleep is now in this Gem! As long as nopony breaks it, or absorbs it the spell should be constant!" Twilight said in a low voice, and put the Gem back into her bag.

You really didn't need to do that. I was already checking for any grammar errors, but thanks anyway!

:twilightsmile:

my only complaint so far is that Twilight seems a little under-powered. I mean if she can levitate an Ursa Minor for the considerable distance she had when she was younger you would think an immortal princess would be able to easily lift a burning plank.

3187563

She could barely lift that Ursa, Not to mention she was too distracted by the flames, smoke, foals, thieves, and the house burning down; Twilight needed all her focus just to do that.

Also, she had trouble levitating water when she was training with Zecora.

still she is an alicorn, and have lived longer than most and her talent, her very calling in life is magic!! so she is definitely under-powered. :twilightsmile:

Hey, just want to give my little critique of the story so far. No need to take this seriously, since I have absolutely no credentials.

First of all, the reason why I read this story was I found it a very interesting concept. I LOVE a conflicted alicorn Twilight :pinkiehappy:, and that was what made me read this story. I think this is a very intriguing idea, and you should keep going.

However, what made the reading a bit difficult was two things:
First, the misuse of exclamation points. Especially in the action scenes, it makes everything seem a bit comical and silly. It would be a lot better if there weren't so many.
Second, the grammatical errors and misspellings were easy to find, and took me out of the story. I could still understand what you were saying, but it was a little distracting.

Good job and keep writing! :twilightsmile:
