This is by far the best one-shot fic I've ever read, and it easily makes the top five for all fanfics.

Thanks! That means a lot to me

This is one of the best stories I have read so far, and you finished it off perfectly. Usually when you have one-shot stories like this the ending is kinda dull. Nice execution, overall great story! ^_^

Thanks a lot :pinkiehappy:

Very nice,I hope there will be a sequel/continuation.

2809

A sequel?
:rainbowhuh:

What would I write about?


Sorry. But there is not going to be a sequel to this.

this was the very first fimfic i ever read,its good to have found it again :rainbowkiss:

Solid writing, and you ended it incredibly well. Keep up the excellent writing.

i loved this, its a bit sad though thinking about all the damage and of how many deaths resulted from this storm, especially cloudsdale. But im glad i went and read through this story. 5/5 keep up the good work.:pinkiesad2:

HOLY CRAP!!!! STORY NUMBER 150?!?!?!?!? how long have you been with the site?
Wait how old is the site? Does anyone know?

Discovered you (As so many others, I'm sure) from Twilight's List.

I was about to make dinner, and idly clicked one of the shorter stories on my Read Later list. After about two minutes I was literally leaning forward in my seat, biting my lip. I have never been so engrossed in a story on fimfiction. And I've read a good number of them :pinkiecrazy:

This story is enthralling, and needs more attention!

Whoa. That was a good story. Kind of sad it was a one shot though. I could see this really going somewhere! It would be great if it just continued intill ponyville was all fixed up. Like every chapter from a different Pony's prespective. You get what I'm saying. Man I wish I could write story's I would finish this from my view of this story. Dang it why do I suck at writhing?:ajsleepy:

Read more. Write more. Ask for crits from people who can tell you what doesn't work and why. I suggest /fic/ on ponychan.

Back in the day (May 2011), it went Star_6 on EqD. I think it was one of the first stories to do so. That was before it was bombed, losing .4 stars overnight. Coincidentally, that was the same week a certain Omnibus I helped work on got posted and pissed people off. But thanks!

The story is older than this site.See Here
Fimfiction launched in July, I think.

That was down right a tear jerker, A+ job

So what I got out of that is... it needs more attention :pinkiehappy:

Seriously, May 2011 I don't think the fandom was even close to half the size it is now. At the time though I was little more than a /b/rony, so my experience with everyone else was limited.

487043
I remember when every 100k hits on eqd was a new banner and a celebration. That's like, every 17 hours now?

I won't say no to more attention though.

At first, I was like :fluttershysad:

But then, I was like :fluttercry:

Now, I'm like :raritycry:

Seriously though, I very much enjoyed this, though it depressed me to a degree for whatever reason.

An upvote and a favourite for you!
Sincerely,

Sadly, it isn't the happiest thing in the world. But I'm glad you liked it.

The one thing I love so much about this story is your portrayal of Rarity, as an actually generous person. I think that even the actual show never really does Raritty justice, and I feel she could be so much more! You have demonstrated that perfectly.

Oh, and the rest of the story is extremely well done also. :raritywink:

So you drew a lot of this story from a personal experience?.... This is a powerful story about a strong group of friends working together in a time of crisis. I'm speechless. What an epic tale!

Kinda. The event of the storm was, but the during/afterwards parts were not. I wish I had had Pinkie to tell jokes and sing giggle at the ghostly. I did channel a lot of my own feelings into it, but I primarily wanted the ponies to show their true natures. Also, I was so very, very sick of "Pinkie is completely random." She is written too often like this. Hell, in List she seems random, but I have a motivation for her actions, I just never brought it into play because it wasn't part of that story.

well, i still think that the story is great! and you're right about pinkie.....:pinkiegasp: so much about her on fimfic is way random, in order to represent the cannon faithfully. pinkie is a great heart (the spirit of laughter) who always brings hope to her friends!:pinkiehappy:

I just get tired of that being all there is to Pinkie. I fist pumped when she sang Smile, Smile, Smile. It meshed perfectly with the fanon I had for her: she is pony who spreads cheer.

I realized about halfway through reading this that it was old and had likely been imported through Gdocs, but I found some random errors that I noted after this. There are probably more; I don't catch as much when reading for pleasure.

That said, I enjoyed this, but I felt the little focus on Pinkie was stronger than the [Sad] parts, but I'm an emotionless robot to some extent. I didn't really get enough context and depth to really feel much about Ponyville getting its shit ruined. The Pinkie stuff was fantastic, though. You hinted at some nice depth to the character, and canon has only supported your take on her.

Thanks for the fixes, I'll get them in soonish.

And yes, I preened when Smilex3 was leaked. The thought that Pinkie was more than a shallow party pony has been with me for a while. Probably around Cutie Mark Chronicles is when I firmed up my view that she's Ponyville's morale officer.

I had always held a similar view, so I know that feeling perfectly.

A very good story.
Not many authors have the courage to completely destroy Ponyville just to state that the life must go on and what doesn't kill us makes us stronger. :pinkiesad2:
I salute you for the said courage but through the whole story I couldn't help but think that you're mighty cruel to Ponyville's residents. :rainbowlaugh:

Well... It's based on IRL with the area around me. So... yeah.

I'm very sorry to hear that. :fluttercry: But it explains every single doubt that invaded my head while I was reading the story (the most bugging was why you didn't even try to give any reason for the tornado's sudden appearance).

Yes, in our world tornadoes just happen and not only we don't have pegasi governing the weather, but also no magic to counter the wind, like Twilight did. We can only hide in the shelters and wait for them to pass, sometimes destroying everything we've worked for our entire lives. :fluttershysad:

And suddenly the story gets a whole new meaning. :fluttercry:

One reason there was no in story reason was that this was first written back before s1 finished. I had to edit Rarity's part to account for Best Night Ever. So there wasn't quite as much consent about whether the weather was 100% controlled or just managed/tended to.

I actually have a blog about this story.

1076502
i suspect you're correct

1082948
Oh yeah! I forgot to say that this is the third fic I've ever read that I gave a 10 out of 10 rating for. This is beautiful, and deserves to be in the feature box for years upon years. Thank you for writing this!

1083031
Heh. OneMansPonYRambling gave it 3/5.

It did hit 6 stars on eqd before it got bombed after an omnibus got published. It may have been the second fic (after Progress) to do so, but I'm not sure.

1083143
I don't really use Eqd. I mainly use Reddit and FiMFiction for stuff, so I have no experience with what you are taking about:twilightsheepish:

Nice writing. I liked the way you built up intensity in particular scenes. The story's main issue/non-issue is that it's about a really unpleasant thing happening, so it doesn't have the broad based appeal that some of your other stories have.

1249230
It's also ancient, being older than fimfiction. It was published before season 1 ended back in the day. Didn't hit eqd until a week or so after Best Night Ever though.

But yeah, it's totally a Tragic story. I didn't mark Dark because there's no real menace, just bad shit happening.

Fantastic work, and you sir make me cry... thanks!

Glad you enjoyed it.

Particularly appropriate, given recent events on the US East Coast. Not everyone has superpowers and even those who do cannot stop the worst nature can do. The real hero is the one who keeps fighting for others, even if there is no hope left. The real hero is the one who, by not giving up, restores hope. In some ways, that makes Pinkie Pie the most heroic pony of all in this story.

This is a brilliant bit of work, filled with raw but comprehensible emotion.

It's funny you mention Sandy. I got into a discussion about Sandy verse the storms that inspired this fic and the amount of news coverage on both.

And yes. This is totally a Pinkie story, even if I originally conceived of it as a Dash and Twi centered fic.
