Epic Spike hero moment!

good story keep it up! also best ship:moustache::heart::unsuresweetie:

A SpikeBelle this is good! :twilightsmile:

@BOM...

I put this in the positive side of the "Not Bad' literary meter.

I do offer at least one major critique: You need to work upon spacing out your paragraphs, if not your speaking lines as well. You have severe clumping problems, resulting in the dreaded "wall of text" for difficult reading.

Purist | Purest - know the difference, it could get you more views.

Likewise: effect | affect.

Just glancing at that first chapter reveals a variety of grammatical errors. I suggest seeking out a pre-reader/proof-reader and/or an editor.

Thanks for the pointers.

You'll have to forgive my proof reader and I. He just finished handing in some uni work and then I come along and ask him to proof read this :derpytongue2:. Plus it seems every time I read these chapters I am fixing some kind of spelling mistake or tweaking a sentence here and there.

Not bad so far, not a fan of the formatting though, would like bigger font and maybe more breaks.

Not bad, needs formatting, bigger text and an editor.

swike, like swag but spikier

Spike and Sweetie Belle

Romance

instant read

A shattering sound broke Sweetie Belle away from the hypnotic doom in front of her. A shower of glass pitter pattered onto the ground followed closely by a purple figure. As the figure landed they planted a solid fist into the head Changeling’s face. The force took the Changeling to the ground, all the others jumped back, their horns returning to their normal colour. Free from the spell, Sweetie Belle could see clearly; the figure was no taller than she was, purple scales shone on its back and pointed tail, small green fins ran from the middle of its tail all the way up their back. The figure turned his head to face the three fillies.

“You three ok?” Spike asked.

As he changed the barrel of his M60, the spent barrel still smoldering steam as he tossed it over his should-

I mean, he sure showed them.

Also from the same quote, why do they all the Crusaders have horns?

3589297the crusaders don't, he was referring to the changelings.

Spike adjusted his top hat again, it just would not stay on his head. Maybe Twilight had been right about not wearing a hat that’s twice his size, thought Spike, but she had also told him that he couldn’t wear a moustache so what did she know anyway? The purple baby dragon overlooked the Ceremonial Hall, it was packed full of ponies dressed in their best.

You uh... Need some help. Get a pre-reader or editor or both. You have two run-on sentences, improper pronoun use for his instead of my, mustache isn't spelled with an o, there needs to be a comma after mustache, overlooked isn't used correctly, and, finally, though this is more of a personal grievance than proper grammar... You don't end a sentence in 'best' unless it's part of a phrase, like 'Sunday best'. Then it's understood that they're as dressed up as they can be, but as is, it's left with best WHAT? Their best pet? Their best paper bags? There's nothing for 'best' to describe.

You need someone to help, dude. There's potential here, but huge chunks of text are just ugly and off-putting to readers. Needs formatted.

Would just like to mention that I live in the UK, where we spell moustache with an 'o'. This will also apply to other words such as: realise and centre.

Also, the work had been proof read several times, but its impossible to pick up on every single error.

Thanks for reading and I appreciate the feedback.

i can't wait for the next chapter

I expected this story to be good but I never expected it to be this good, well done sir!

:pinkiegasp: Best story EVER!!! :twilightsmile: can't wait for the next chapter.

Very interesting. Please continue.

Well I haven't got to the other chapters yet but I'm intrigued and can't wait to read the other 2 chapters that are out right now.

Heh, if only Spike was this badass in the show.

3613778 I blame the show writers for not upping his badassery

COMBO! FLAWLESS VICTORY!! FATALITY!!! SPIKE WINS!!!!
Spike, you're awesome!

3613947
WHOA WHOA WHOA..............................
He'll have his time...............................
We just have to be patient......
:pinkiesmile:
:rainbowderp:

3613947 That is one of the reasons I hardly watch the show and spend most of my time here.

3613947>>3614123>>3614048
Now, now. We'll save that moment for the series finale when it shows Equestria 20 years in the future.
(Kidding of course.)

Maybe..................
But WHO knows when that'll happen

Enjoying the story so far, but there are a few things, and I will use this as an example.

“Is everything going to be alright?” Spike gave her a reassuring smile.

“Do you trust me?” Sweetie Belle smiled, letting her head rest against the stone and allowing her eyelids to droop.

“I trust you.”

Everything’s going to be alright. The moment her eyes were closed Sweetie Belle fell fast asleep.

I assume, given the context that it is Spike giving Sweetie Belle re-assurance, that where I have marked green is Spike, and the violet is Sweetie Belle.

I would suggest putting the 'Spike gave her a reassuring smile.' on a new line, else the reader will assume it is Spike asking if everything is alright, and Sweetie Belle asking if Spike trusts her. With Spike's response on the same line as Sweetie Belle's line, it makes it look as though they are Sweetie Belle's responses. And while it is possible to guess what you mean via context and knowledge of the story thus far; it is better to make it clearer to the reader.

Unless I have missed something and that is what you meant all along; though given Spike's role as the protector and Sweetie's role as the damsel in this story, a reversal at the end is confusing.

Else you could use something like:

Is everything going to be alright?” Sweetie Belle asked.

“Do you trust me?” Spike responded, giving her a reassuring smile.

“I trust you.”

Everything’s going to be alright.

The moment her eyes were closed Sweetie Belle fell fast asleep.

I'd also suggest trying to find a proof reader through the proofreader group. My grammar is pretty horrible, and my writing benefits immensely from their help, and most of them are pretty dang friendly too.

Spike is straight up awesome.

“Spike?” she whispered. “Spike? Come on. You gotta get up.” Desperation had crept into her voice. “Spike, we gotta go.” Tears began to well up inside her. “SPIKE!” Sweetie Belle looked up to the heavens, tears streaming down her face. “SOMEPONY! ANYPONY! Help…” Sweetie Belle felt like the Changelings were feeding on her again. Moving over she laid down next to Spike, huddling close so their bodies touched.

I was wondering for a while why this passage seemed so familiar, but it came to me as I was rereading this chapter. This interaction, as Spike is still laying on the ground and temporarily knocked out, is Mufasa's death scene from The Lion King, nearly verbatim.

Well spotted good sir. Was wondering how long it would take for someone to spot that:pinkiehappy:

Ok, thanks, and Happy Holidays
:pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy:

Plows through that wall like the Armored Titan! :moustache:

he felt like he could lift a Usar

Ursa?

All I could think of at the end was "The kind of day of which I dreamed since I was small."
Intentional?

BOM

3654823

Yeah. It juts felt like a nice way to tie up Sweetie Belle's thoughts, whilst relating it to the the Canterlot Wedding. Plus that song was awesome!

I guess Spike is giving Sweetie a chance. Lets see where their romance lead them to.

error in A/N should be allowed

So touching.................................
So moving................................
I LOVE ALL OF IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
:pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::heart::heart::moustache:

Go get 'um Spike!!!! you can do it!!!:rainbowdetermined2::heart:
P.S. Nice work on the fiction bra!:twilightsmile:

"SPIKE put one of HER HOOVES"?
Did you mean "SWEETIE BELLE put one of her hooves?"

Or perhaps you meant "Spike put one of HIS HANDS/CLAWS around her neck" ?

Other than that it was very good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:twilightsmile:
So awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!:rainbowkiss:
