    When Applejack and Big Macintosh come across a badly beaten colt on their property, they take him in. But can they handle the physical, mental and emotional scars on the surface and deep in their guest's soul. And why is he insist they are in danger?

    Rated TEEN mainly for events later in the story. Characters will be added as the story unfolds.

    good, if you need a villan, i'm sure DJ would be more than happy

    heh heh hehehehehehehe HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! yes i'm an insane robot scientist :pinkiecrazy: my absolute FAVORITE thing to do is torture, though i don't usually use blunt objects, i find knifes work MUCH better, especially for skinning, OH wait, i let my apprentice take care of the skinning :pinkiecrazy: but anyways, I am DJ Bl4ck0ut, a scientist who made a deal with the devil and became a robot. i am also the embodiment of insanity and cruelty. (i also have a back story, since i randomly aubduct ponies all the time, and use them as test subjects, he could have been the 'one that got away', and now knows the secret location of my lab) also, my eyes are blood-red, so that may give the red phobia thing,

    i'm Fifty-Fifty, i can control luck

    *sigh* i'm getting kinda tired of introducing myself like this, but i'm TenshuraX, please call me Tenshura. i'm just gonna stop the introductions right there, cause there are 13 total who need introductions, so i'm just gonna let Killkord introduce himself

    Hello, i am Killkord, the psycologist.

    I wonder how long it will be before this one ends up on EQD.  This is a darn good premise and executed very nicely.

    I saw a "should of" near the beginning, and a couple other errors.  Is anyone editing these?

    Beyond that, it's alright, but I can't help the feeling something's missing.  I get the feeling the baddy is a loan shark.

    You switch tenses at the very end of the chapter.  You need to keep your verbs in the past tense, since that's what you started with.

    This is getting good... from what i can gather either has been chased by a dragon, or someone with access to a dragon.

    I'm glad that I tracked this, it is good so far and leave us figuring out what exactly happened.

    Keep in mind, he said "fire" not "dragon fire" so it could be ANY number of things, "they" burnt down his home, chased him with fire, burnt his family maybe? Any number of things.

    Now I'm more than a little worried about the tragedy tag on this story.  :applecry:

    As for Saltpeter...KILL!!!  :flutterrage:

    Also, "should of" is improper.  You're actually thinking of "should've," which is a contraction of "should have.". I see that mistake fairly often with a lot of writers.

    When you have a lot of time on your hands, and the ideas flow like they do through this empty thing on my shoulders, you tend to get things typed out pretty fast :)

    I'm really digging this story. Just one thing, more clerical than anything else. It's should have, would have, etc. Beyond that, you're doing a fantastic job. Keep it up.

    *salutes Peppermill*

    You should try a sequel, maybe to ship him with Applejack and start to build his life from ground up. Maybe start his own restaurants that uses Apple Acres's apples or various vegetables that they grow, which brings in money for Apples family :). Just my thought, I liked this fanfic. Good luck with your future writing, Ill be waiting!

    and yeah, i must agree i do like your peppermill character :scootangel:

    >>Morfonius although i think i disagree with shipping with AJ, her role seems more motherly, and thats gettin kinda weird :applejackunsure:

    Very nice in general; a bit simple, but pleasant to read.  Would be greatly improved by fixing the "of" in instances of "should of" and "could of" to "have" like they should be.  It sounds like "of," but you are actually hearing the contraction, like "should've."

    Its disappointing to learn that fanfics like yours dont receive the recognition they deserve its even worse when an author gives up on a story simply due to lack of popularity i thank you for not giving up on peppermill when so many others would have. Heres hoping that he has a long and happy run.
