Hey there! You can call me Jay. I hope you enjoy what you see! I love critique, so lay it on me!

Derpy Hooves, a pony who seems to be on the wrong side of everyone in town, is restless and lonely. Thanks to her... unique eyes and clumsy nature, she's never had an easy time at building friendships. She begins to wonder if maybe its time to leave Ponyville and try again.

And that's when Blue Skies appears. A handsome pegasus who's new to Ponyville. And it goes by logic, anyone new to Ponyville will know little to nothing of Derpy's damaging reputation. Is this the chance for a fresh start she's been waiting for? It could be.

But can our favorite clumsy friend ever hope to catch his eye? Or will someone else get to him first?


ALL CHAPTERS REVISED~
I have improved a lot since my first run! So when you're reading my fan fiction and offering critique, (WHICH I LOVE, THANK YOU SO MUCH) I have officially hidden all the old chapters, and replaced them with a new version. If you wish to see the old version, just contact me! Feel free to offer any advice! I appreciate it.
Also, if you're a stickler for maintaining character, you might not like this. I mean I hope you will! But you might not. I didn't portray Derpy exactly as hasbro did, but rather as I like to think of her. Even so, she remains pretty much the same. I might even dare to call it cannon. You can be the judge of that!

I love constructive criticism! Just word it nicely. ;)

Sweet. No mistakes found according to me. Keep it up :yay:

Well. That was... short.

I'm eager to see where this is going, but i think a little more description of everything is in order. That, and maybe a bit of pacing. This chapter felt like two, forced into one. It didn't really impact me much, kinda like a letter you read and throw away. So, my one complaint is length.

HOWEVER. In saying that, this story is not badly written. It looks good, and almost ever professional. It just needs more of that incredible writing.

Tracked and looking forward to more.

I really appreciate constructive criticism, and I can see where you're coming from. I'll try and elaborate a little more, maybe split this into two chapters. My writing has I a habit of being short and to the point. :facehoof: Thanks!
259893
Thank you! I'll try and keep this one going.


I actually didn't this would get any attention. Thank yall!

260002 Your fic was longer than my first and second combined. I resort to editing now. I am trying so hard not to spell things incorrectly because I'm writing something called 'daringdo pendelum and flutershy a rely great fic' Just by the title you can tell that it's going to be bad :pinkiecrazy:

>>Octavia555
I keep an eye on your story! Good luck, and thanks!

Not bad, are Dinky and sparkler in this fic?

You know that felling you get when you post your first story and people really like it? I bet you got that felling a big smile and determination to keep writing. Well you did good my friend and you should keep going. From the lost element, the element of love.:twilightsmile:

>>Possiblydominator
*Nods* They will be. I'm not sure in what context, but I'm trying to put Dinky in. Speaking of which, I've heard some debate... Is Dinky her sister, or daughter? :derpyderp2: Sister would make things less complicated...

>>Ian_Element_of_Love
Thanks! I plan to.

Well! That was exciting.

This chapter was a whole lot better paced than the last one, which made it about 200000% cooler. Great job! I would like a period after the whole "TWILIGHT" deal, and maybe some explanation in the next chapter about how the two know each other.

Also, your writing is already beginning to flesh out into an amazing style! Keep it up!

:raritystarry: Thanks! I'll see about that. Working on the next chapter right now.

Like I always say, give me your advice! (Woop! Finally posted!)

You, my friend, have just passed into "Suspense Building" Mode.

Now my complaints.

First: Dragonfly. If you plan on actually having Derpy and him meet, it might be a good idea to flesh him out in your head. Right now, I, as a reader, know nothing about this crush, and i await his arrival into the story as a major character eagerly! (I may have put this one in a few chapters early, and am completely jumping the gun. Take one grain of salt as needed.)

Second: You may want to review these chapters before you post them. The Spell Check on FiMFiction isn't all that great, so re-read your work for errors. I caught only a few, but even those were slight distractions.

Third: Um... If you don't mind... I can has more? :raritywink:

Of course! I plan to dish out the next chapter very soon!

As for your complaints.
With Dragon Fly, yes, I can see what you mean. Maybe I'll try and give him a big part in the next chapter.

And the spelling errors, I'm really sorry about that, I guess I was a little eager to post it. Hehe.

Thanks again for the advice! I do my best to follow it. Looove hearing feed back!

I know, this chapter is rushed. Sorry guys~ I'll try and fix it later. If you haven't noticed, I'm quite the procrastinator. :derpytongue2:

It is 1:30, and you have made me happy. Thank you. Now,

while (Inkblotch == exists()){
story.write();
}

Yay for coding!

-The Librarian

Again nice few chapters, some minor errors that could be easily rectified are:
Ch 2: you call Dinky, "Dinky Doo" while you know I am a fan of the "Doo" name, you mention her last name as Hooves in the rest of the story.
Ch 3: "I sure hope so, Derpy thought to herself as she left Twilights" add in that apostrophe, "Twilight's"

Other than that, very good.

:twilightsheepish: Hehe! Oops, my bad. I'll just fix that shall I? I'll do it when I post chapter 5.

Does the whole last name thing apply to ponies? Where the entire family has the same last name? I'm not sure.

*Cries at the sheer awfulness of a 13 year olds writing.*

Hmmm..... Yes, it's decided.

We require moar pony.:moustache:

:twilightsheepish:

:yay: ~yay!

I dish out another chapter as soon as I can.

D'awwwwwwwwwww! I just read it all and loved it. Derpy is so adorable, even if she's a klutz. :derpyderp1:

Keep going, I'll be reading!

Come now, its not a failure. The only thing I saw were misplaced characters such as ] and /
Dont be too hard on yourself :3

*waits for next chapter* favoring and rated up!

I like how you pace the story, rather than having everything that was rushed.

439620 Hehe! Thanks, I had alot of trouble not rushing my self, and several people had to remind me. I'll try and get the next chapter out as soon as possible.

Bam! Read the story twice, proofread once, loved every second of it.

The cover art is nicely done especially for someone your age. Im 19 but I can't write or draw my way out of a wet paper bag!

:twilightsmile: (mah favorite face) Thank ya! I appreciate. I should be getting chapter six up really soon. I kinda went through a stage of writers block.

Guys. Guys I love you. So comment, even if its just to tell me I made a mistake somewhere. I love help!

with larhe deep eyes

I'm thinking you meant large?

"Yogurt!"

:rainbowlaugh: Is it odd if I found this extremely funny? Great story and I want to read more. Most shipfics have little to no build-up and the fact that nopony made out in the first chapter gives me a good feeling about this one.
EDIT: Yes, I am aware I'm a little bit late to the party.

3612109 HEY MAN, LATE GUESTS ARE ALWAYS THE MOST FUN. :pinkiehappy:

And thank you! I'll jump on it! But perhaps you would enjoy the revised chapter a bit more. xD This chapter was written two years ago!

The story is undergoing a massive rewrite, and I'm so glad you jumped on board! I hope you enjoy your stay!

Hey dude

You hit featured.

(And I thought this looked familiar)

Thank you so much for your help! I appreciate it!

But perhaps you will find the revised version of chapter one more to your liking. :pinkiehappy: I did write this story over two years ago after all! I hope you enjoy the rewrite and restart of Lost and Found!

I'd just like to point out that there is already a story called Lost and Found.

Not saying you should necessarily change it, just pointing it out :pinkiesmile:

3612204
Oh dear. Thank you for telling me! You don't think it's too much of an issue do you?

3612208
I don't think it'd be that much of an issue, I just thought you should know.

It's not like you're going to get charged with theft or anything. So there's no real reason to worry.

3612210 Well alrighty then! Thank you for letting me know.

3612204 3612220 This one came first, if you check the posting dates. About 6 months before.

3612291 Six months and a year ago actually! :twilightblush: But it was under a different title then, so technically, the other fan fiction claimed the title first. I don't think its a problem though! :twilightsmile: I don't mind anyway.
