This one hasn't changed a lot, in this story I really liked the first chapter, but didn't like how a few later scenes progressed. It was kind of an additive effect and kept getting worse as time progressed. So the first few chapters haven't changed a whole lot, just they're way longer and written better.

Ooh, I missed this while it wasn't updating. Yay!

Humm very interesting........ I shall continue reading it when it updates. Till then good day Sir or Madam.

>>10609021060902

Next chapter should be done with editing later today, actually. It's sir by the way

What! Only 40 views and it has been featured!?

>>10651001065100

As the description says, it's a rewrite. I deleted the old chapters without realizing it would remove the views too, but it still has all the likes and favorites so it got featured.

>>10651051065105

Oh yeah, by the way I never heard back from my editor on this one. This chapter is in a decent state without hearing from him, and I don't want these rewritten chapters to come out too slowly, so I went ahead and published it. If you find anything glaring, just let me know.

Once again you impress me with a very interesting chapter. Thank you sir for your the pleasent and charming addition to this fantastic story. Also, while reading no errors stuck out profusely.

Yeesh, talking like that almost seems like I am indirectly saying your story is good, so I shall say it how I usually would. Loving the story so far, and I am hoping you keep up with the good work!

>>10659071065907

You lavish me with such praise, and nothing has happened yet. Also indirect can be good too, being told all the reasons why something is good can be just as nice. The next chapter should be up in a few days, as the first few ones don't really need much in actual rewriting. Instead, they're just getting a makeover so to speak, cleaning up the writing, making them more interesting etc.

>>10659741065974

Yea, being direct is a rather difficult thing for me to do, but I can try.

I like the concept of this story of pinky having to try harder to be friends with someone because she cannot speak.

I enjoy how well you represent Pinky Pie and how close to charater she seems to be.

You created a OC out of thin air and in only 2 chapters you make her a likable and interesting charater.

I like the subtle hints at romance formulating to where they are not in your face, but have a natural flow with the rest of the story.

You make it easy to form the story in my mind. Which I guess that means you discribe each situation with just enough detail to not go over board, but enough so the story does not seem empty.

The way you discribe Sliver Wings acting as a mute makes it believable that she is a mute.(If that makes sense)

That is all I can think of at the moment. I hope thats direct enough for you. Oh I couldn't really think of anything I do not like about this story. If you want me to I can make up a rant about some pointless thing that sorta has to do with this story, but wonders off to complaining about how music today is currupting todays youth.

>>10660821066082

This story originally started with the idea that I wanted to write for a mute pony as a writing exercise. As such, Silver never communicates in any way except with body language, and the occasional as you can see in this chapter, pantomiming. I didn't want to have her write, or use magic or any other such "cheats." It turned into shipping with Pinkie because frankly the idea amused me. The story just kind of happened from there, I probably shouldn't be revealing this, everyone is supposed to think writers are brilliant and put huge amounts of effort into our works... I didn't tell you any of this.

>>10661371066137

Wait you told me what now?

It is an interesting concept to try and communicate with nothing but body language. I would try doing that for a day if it would not cause my dad to get mad at me thinking I just out of the blue desided to stop talking to him, but then again I do not really talk alot anyway.... I honestly think writing does not take alot of effort just alot of time. Its one of those things either you can write or you can not.

Also I was close to the concept of the story that you were going for....

>>10661811066181

Writing takes time and effort to be good at, some people are better than others to begin with, sure. Almost anyone who writes well has taken the time to practice and improve. That's why I still send chapters that I think are in a good state to editors, so I can get feedback and keep improving. Also, you should see how bad the first few stories I wrote were. Oy...

>>10662151066215

Fair enough.....honestly I was being a little closed minded because I am horrible at putting my thoughts into words, so I guess I had myself in mind when I said what I did. Sorry for being a little closed minded. I dislike it when others are that way so I try to make it so that I am not.

The only storys I have read of yours so far would be From Scratch and Solace in Silence, so thats all I know of what you have written. The quality of your storys from what I have read are great.

I like it

What sort of sorcery is this!?! How is this already on my read it later list?

I already have 170 () on it anyway, so let there be more!

Tracking for now. Will read sometime after Gilda shows up in the show again.

...actually, make that Trixie. I'm not sure the story writers give two bucks about Gilda anymore...

>>11001791100179

This is the same story that was up before, but I"m a moron and deleted the chapters instead of unpublishing them. This means all the views are gone, but favorites, likes, and read laters are still there.

edit; I should clarify that it's because I'm rewriting the story, and under the new FIMF rules about rewrites they tell you to use the same story instead of making a new one.

I like it so far. And my D'awwwww-dar is sensing high amounts of D'awwww in upcoming chapters.

I have faith in you, do not disappoint me.

>>11008041100804

Heh, I shall never tell!

>>11009081100908

We have a secretive one here boys.

That's good, you shall be followed.

>>11009081100908

But I don't even remember this story!

Wait, how could I remember?Stupid!

I've read like 200 great story's.

Considering how sad I was that there was not more of this fic out yet, I would say that is it is REALLY good. So, to be blunt - moar.

Image: http://i.imgur.com/x06ua.png

And it turns out Silver Wings is really...............................*Drum roll*. Celestia in disguise.

Ok, ok, maybe not, it sounded cool.

>>11016251101625

From Scratch is going to update first, then it shouldn't be too much longer for the next chapter of this since it is a rewrite. Chapter 4 and 5 are when the actual rewriting is going to be more visible at the same time, so they won't be as quick as the first three were.

>>11017041101704

>>11017301101730

I hate when I have to use patience... oh well. Gonna follow you so I don't forget!

Already I am loving this.  Its not all that easy to make an effective character when they can't speak, especially in the written word.  Yet you are succeeding wonderfully.  Never read the original version of this fic so I am eager to see exactly how this all plays out.

Im really glad you are redoing this story. Not that there was anything wrong with it before.

>>11528431152843

It could have been written better, and there are a few points that I thought were a little weak. Basically even though it was received well I wasn't really that happy with it. That's why it hadn't updated for a long time, my unhappiness with it prevented me from continuing it, even though it was rather close to the end.

So much D'awww, for some reason! Thinking on it, there really weren't a huge number of D'awww inducing scenes... so why was that the first thing that popped into my head for a comment?

>>11646901164690

Heartwarming was a word that was used frequently in the comments the firs time around for this story. Maybe it's that causing the Daww factor?

I like where this is going.

It's also very well written.

Keep it up!

Very interesting ^^ I like this story a lot

Please update soon?

>>11648321164832

Thank you!

>>11650481165048

I'm glad you like it

>>11650991165099

Probably updating From Scratch next, but depending on how long it takes there may be another chapter of this.

>>11652661165266 Excellent.

SWEET GODDESS IT GOT UPDATED.

>>11656241165624

I'm not sure if I should be concerned that you're this excited about it.

>>11657151165715

You should only be concerned if you're planning on stopping this fic. (That would not end well for ANYPONY

Image: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/31471793/FiMFiction/emoticons/misc_Twilight_crazy.png

Also, great chapter! I usually don't like OCs, but Silver is adorable, and a ship between her and Pinkie makes scary amounts of sense. I'm also really looking forward to what you put her cutiemark/job as, and why doesn't Equestria have equal oppurtinity laws, sheesh!

Image: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/31471793/FiMFiction/emoticons/sillyfilly_Pinkie_Pie.png

I am making a guess at her future job............ Working in the kitchen with pinkie. The reasons are

1. Pinkie can understand Silver.

2. This is a shipping.

3. A mute can work in a kitchen as long as its not a packed kitchen.

4. It keeps Pinkie and Silver together which helps with the shipping.

Or rainbow could jump in and give her the job as a weather pony and bypass the PR(pony resorses) department.

As for the Cutie Mark I haven't the slightest clue..... you could go with the easy way and give her a pair of silver wings.

>>11732401173240

I shall never tell

that is... until we get there in the story.

That was a bit longer than usual. The original before rewriting was 4200 words or so, and this was also the first chapter that I wanted to rewrite some scenes in completely. In other news, things, plot, stuff!

Came for the pic(I DAWWWWWed), stayed for the story, left because of sleep. THIS IS INCREDIBLE!!!!!

>>12217851221785

Hah, glad you like it. Pictures of Pinkie looking... relatively calm are rather rare so that was my only choice for now.

Question: Since pegasi can use their wings like hands. Why doesn't Silver know sing language or some pony equivalent?

>>12218021221802

Well I find the pic pretty suitable IMO

>>12218811221881

I decided when I started to write this story that I didn't want to have any gimmicks for her talking. I didn't want any crazy magic, signing, or writing and just wanted to have her communicate non-verbally. Originally it was a writing exercise to write for a mute pony, but it turned into shipping when I had the idea and I couldn't stop laughing. It proceeded keep evolving from there, but I still didn't want to have her communicate directly in any way besides motions and facial expressions.

This is so sad, it's beauitful. I love it!

>>12218981221898

Yeah it works, but was still considering getting a commission for a new cover anyway.

>>12219851221985

Fun fact, when I first wrote this I thought it was a bit dark as it was before I did ANYTHING in From Scratch.

SO MUCH FEELS

Image: http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m37p3jR1xu1qgzlpo.gif

Another awesome chapter Kaldanor, you totally had me shitting myself for a while there right along with Pinkie.

Also, nice feature box hit.

Image: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/31471793/FiMFiction/emoticons/misc_Colgate_beam.png

Damnit Ditzy!!! Getting Silver in trouble how mean.

Mrs. Cake shook her head for a moment and gave them a moment before she coughed politely and continued. “Well, we can’t really afford to be hiring anypony else right now Pinkie. So, as long as she’s just helping you out…”

I have a feeling that was put in there just to dismiss one of my guesses...........

Great chapter though that also took a turn of events I wasn't expecting, but i felt like i should have expected it cause it fit in the story all to well.

>>12221911222191

That was there the first time around. I may have restated it slightly on this version, but it was not inserted there just to shoot down your theory. Sorry.

>>12222311222231

Hahaha no need to say sorry dude it was a joke. That also makes me wish I had read it before you started rewriting it.

>>12222511222251

I know, just teasing a little bit. The first time around Pinkie went to Twilight, but it seemed odd that Pinkie would go to Twilight too often. Also, it seemed a little odd to me that Twilight wound up unintentionally directing her to the right place. It was a little too far fetched, so yay random guards!

>>12222681222268

Hahaha at least none of them took an arrow to the knee. (I know random out of place joke that isn't really fitting for the situation, but i had to say it.)

Twilight is supposed to be the super smart one so her going to Twi every so often isn't too out there. It does help center the story around Pinkie and Silver by keeping the other main six out of the story though.

I remember seeing this story a long time ago before it got featured. I will track it in hopes you will make more than 9 chapters

>>10651941065194

Silver wit her

Oops.

>>12224681222468

Thanks,

>>12224641222464

Yeah I kind of put it aside for a while because I didn't like where it was going. Finally got off my ass and started rewriting it to fix the direction. Plus side was with the new featured box it actually got featured several times.

Moar?

>>12231611223161

I'm probably going to finish From Scratch 10 before I work on the next chapter of this.

great story so far kal. I really hope that things clear up soon and some DA doesn't intend on pressing charges anyway because they can't find the real culprit or something like that, that would suck and probably make the "DA" look like an @$$ where pinkie pie is involved... hey maybe silver can join the CMC and be like their "adult" supervision

One of the most immediately likable OCs I have seen.  You do a great job of conveying her personality through her actions.  Writing with limitations like that can be challenging, but the results are rewarding.

>>12427991242799

I'm glad to hear you say that. I've heard similar things about Silver Wings before, which is kind of amusing actually. There are a few resources online to gauge how likely your character is a Mary Sue, and Silver scores pretty high on all of them just because of the nature of the story. I think the most recent one I did she scored in the "fanfiction characters probably need to be looked at seriously." I think one of the things that helps is we get to see her from Pinkie's perspective, instead of the story directly centering around Silver.

>>12299361229936

Thanks, and we shall see.

>>12248671224867 Wait, You did From Scratch too?

oh what the buck seriously that farmpony is either blind or there is another pony that looks like silver somewhere, I mean the farmers statement said that the culprit spoke and silver is incapable of such. this has to be some kind of misunderstanding

Well, I had to reread this story to know what was going on in this chapter, but that's because I got it confused with some other story I read involving someone who, rather than being mute, just flat out refused to talk. Hopefully you update again soon, because....

Please update again soon. I really love this story.

Is the story actually being changed at all? Because so far I haven't really noticed any differences.

>>13529661352966

Minor changes and grammatical rewrites. There may be a few major changes coming up but I'm undecided on them.

I wasn't around for the original version, but I'm glad I'm here for it now!  I cannot describe how cute a couple they are, for starters. They just pull at my heart, raise its beat... and blood flowed to a place that shouldn't be reacting to such cuteness. (I'll do your reaction for ya: " Really?")

I really do this one. I want to see MOAR! I will wait but it hurts to wait now.

SILVERWINGS, YOU CAN TALK, CAN'T YOU

Update???

>>19975621997562

I just got back from basically having no time because of the Charity event I was attending. This will get an update once I manage to sit down and work on it.

>>21912902191290

I've had a busy few months and this got pushed off the priority list by other things. An update is in the works, it should be out in a week or two tops.

But seriously. Please don't let this end this way. It's beautiful!

>>23338712333871

Sorry, I keep committing to other projects. I have been putting time into this story; it's just that I keep looking over the chapter and not being satisfied with it. I think I'm just going to have to push through it and finish it even if I"m not completely happy with the result just so I can finish the story.

I really want to read this fic, but the last update was a long time ago. I'm kind of afraid to read this just to see it cancelled later.

>>25149572514957

I'm working on it... it's just not a high priority amongst a lot of other things going on. I'm going to try and sit down and just power through it soon, especially now that I just updated my main story.

Finally, an update.

I gave up on my efforts to make the plot of this story more serious and believable. This story is just silly, and therefore the silly plot-line is going to stay. There will still be some changes coming along, but nothing as huge as I had initially planned. I came to the realization that if I kept plodding along then I would never finish the story and that is the worse option to me.

So, I'm not entirely happy with the way things are heading, but this story started as a writing exercise and silliness and cute developed from it. I wasn't expecting to love it from the start.

It's not dead?

yay!

Great chapter by the way.

yea figures it was derpy, stupid farmer sales pony

I cried when I saw this update.

That's over eight months I've been looking forward to this chapter.   Worth it, just to see it at last!

This story is so unique.  I don't know what you had originally planned for it, or what you have in store for us now, but so far it's exactly what it needs to be for me.

Looking forward to the next chapter!
