You don't need to be a carpenter to be tasked with hiring some help or asking some friends to help you hold a sign up while you replace some rusty screws and bolts that're holding things together.
Pinkie just never got around to it. So she thinks it's her fault.
2994225 I entirely agree, and not because I'm arrogant.
When I first started Taming the Rage, I got a ridiculously high number of likes and views and comments, like, we're talking massive. But now, me and Samantha have worked really hard on developing and cultivating this story, we have things done like, multiple chapters ahead of time in our heads and have our ideas locked in and just have to write them down. This is her very first ever listing of one of her works online and....this is all she gets? It's really unfair to her!
But, on a happier note, I'm really glad you like the story! It's going to get really awesome in the next few chapters, because we're gonna go somewhere that I haven't seen any other fanfic on this site go yet, aside from joking about it!
I'm with you all the way. This story is good, with nice grammar, spelling, punctuation and all that stuff, and the characters actually feel like characters with emotions and thoughts and the plot itself is pretty good too.
Compared to some of the, excuse my foul tongue, crap that is sometimes featured on the front page, this story is gold.
You can tell Samantha that at least one reader appreciates the work you guys have put into this story.
This is looking very good, and needs more attention.
And I'm surprised that with all her years Celestia hasn't learned a little CONSTANT VIGILANCE!
I also note that if they could tell the food was all poisoned, but not what kind of poison, there must be some kind of very general 'Detect Poison' spell. Which Twilight would probably benefit from knowing.
3000256 Oh, there's definitely a spell, don't get it twisted. But, when one lives in a society full of peace and prosperity and there hasn't been a war in....what, hundreds of years? One would not expect that any but the most paranoid and deceitful of nobles and royalty would have any need to cast a Detect Poison spell on their food before they eat it every morning.
As for Celestia remaining vigilant, she can't keep track of every little thing. This whole thing came out of left field thanks to a revelation later on in the story.
Thanks! Like I said in the Author's Note in the first chapter, Fire Soul is the mastermind behind the first few chapters, with just a little input from me. We'll see what you think when my stuff starts showing up.
Was more commenting that Twilight should probably learn that spell now (I understand that even though it happened once before she wouldn't want to believe it might happen again) and that Celestia would've been smarter to assume the rest of the set was in danger regardless of whether it was true or not. I mean, someone just paid massive amounts of money trying to poison one of them, then they almost had a close encounter with at least a half-ton of metal. I'm not saying her naivete is out of character, just that she'll probably be kicking herself for not giving all of them protection as soon as there was an obvious threat.
It worked, for the most part. Pinkie was her usual cheery self, save for being fairly subdued. She was still upset at herself for letting something like that happen, and vowed to be more punctual in getting important jobs like that one done on time, instead of putting them off in favor of playing with the twins or going out to spend time with her friends.
Wait... Pinkie becomes saddened that the sign nearly killed her friends because she hadn't fixed it? What, is she the carpenter now?
Eh whatevs ill just roll wit it.

This story deserves more comments, likes and favorites. Way more.
I like what I'm seeing, and I want more, so here I go, adding to my story alerts and have an upvote while I am it!

And this, I believe, is where I make an account just so I can post/respond to comments and such.
