    Meet Sharky White, a man living in a world that has lost all meaning for him. After flying to Italy to suprise his girlfriend, he comes to her hotel and finds her with another man. Depressed, with a diamond ring in pocket, he then goes to the airport and recieves 3 consecutive calls, each bearing increasingly terrible news. Planning his own death, he boards his flight back to the U.S. but ends up somewhere totally different...

    NOTE: Yeah, some of the beginning is still really poorly written. I mean technically the whole thing is, but those moreso than others. I'll be slowly editing from the start while I write forward, and edited chapters will be marked with a '*'. That way you new guys know why one chapter is less crappy than the one after.

    This definitely has some potential. True, the concept has been done to death, then resurrected with necromancy, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. You could be making this into a bit of a parody, for all I know.

    Some advice regarding the summary: Make it really vague. Just say that bad stuff has happened to him. That way, when he tells the ponies, it'll be a shock to the readers as well.

    >>Tony1685 I agree the Idea is really cliché, but I really like it. I started this one because after reading a few others like this (ex. Coal Buck. Great writer BTW.) I noticed a few constants that annoyed the hell outta me. I'm gonna NOT do what others did, but it'll still be an account of life in equestria because that's what I want it to be. I do however like the idea of surprising the readers and will fix the description now.

    Mate, think nothing of it. Hell, I did a HiE fic a while back, knowing full-well that it would be a case of "been done before." Surprised that it was as liked as it is.

    This chapter has a noticeable flavour of being rushed somewhat.

    Take your time, make sure that you pick every spelling and grammar error. Also, formatting. Be careful there.

    And, if I may, too early. You keep that kind of thing for major character development.

    Well good luck then! It seems that this kind of fic is steering in the right direction, but I would rather that you try to stick on quality and not just make numbers I stopped reading coal's fic because it was starting to get boring not enough interesting events. It's nice chatting to fiction writers through commenting on their fictions...And if you need any idea's or someone to spot spelling mistakes for you etc I am here, though if you would like to chat instead of commenting or sending messages etc I am on Steam mostly and it's abodythehero but currently I am named Demon Sparkle (Long story.) But it's better to add the original username.

    I have to say this premise is fun and exiting, but poorly executed. Half the time it seems things are going far too slow, a quarter too fast and the remaining portions wholeheartedly skipping points of important information. Now don't take this as bashing, I love it, but you'd soar with a beta reader and more descriptive words beyond '"So it's a night for friends to learn new things about each other?" I summarized'. For example, you could continue with something like:

    "So it's a night for ect. ect?" I summarized, sighing deeply before quickly regaining my composure and sending a smile towards the adorable purple Mage.

    Or something.

    Aside from that and the odd grammar and spelling error, I really like this. Although that may be just because you're depicting the best pony as adorably as possible.

    TL;Dr: SLOW THE FUCK DOWN AND DESCRIBE SHIT

    >>277151 I understand what you mean. Would you like to beta read too? I've got a Guy for spelling already, but if you wanna help too, that'd be great. To be honest, I'm really adhd so It,'s hard for me to make the story flow right.

    EDIT: now that I've gone back and re-read all the comments I was able to overlook your criticisms and I noticed something. You REALLY like Twilight Sparkle don't you? The sentence you offered an edit for had nothing to do with the "adorable purple mage"

    As a frequent reader of HiE fics I feel must inform you that even at this early stage I have to place yours in the top 10% of HiE fics I have read. I find yours to be similar to Coal Buck's (Which I love) but yours is a nice balance to how depressing and anger inducing his gets at times. Tracked and eagerly awaiting more.

    Oh and props to you for ending on a literal cliffhanger.

    well in his defense having sexual feeling for another species is very strange, even if they can speak. plus "sleeping" with any living creature that is not a consenting adult human is considered a crime so it would not be strange for him to be oblivious to the feelings of small ponies.:unsuresweetie: :rainbowderp:
