I don't know how you do it, but you continue to draw me into this world, this version of Equestria that you've created, forcing me to read perfectly created characters that are completely believable and relatable.

I f-ing love this series.  

I love your stories.

>>370263370263

And I love you! Seriously, with comments like that, even if you were the only person reading, I'd still keep writing. Thanks so much!

>>370276370276

And you are spectacular: thanks for all the love and being so awesome!

Shame this isn't a more popular series. I guess people can't get past the fact that they are humans rather than ponies but you still get their personality down pretty well. Fun to read. Keep up the great work.

You are a writing god...

>>372559372559

Ee-yup. One person downvoted my story just because I humanized them (I don't know if he actually read the whole story)

Still, as long as people like you enjoy it, I'mma keep it up. Thanks!

>>373639373639

Aw, shuck, I ain't that special. Just a brony who likes him a good ol' fashioned story. Ee-yup.

Thanks for the love: hope you enjoy the rest!

I've read all of your series of "The Journey of Graves" in one hole day and I must say... IM IN LOVE WITH THIS SERIES, keep the chapters roling

This series, not matter what, makes me smile whenever I read it...

... or re-read it

Keep it coming, mate! This series is gold!

>>378802378802

In that case, I'll keep mining. Lolz!

>>378733378733

In that case, just call me Pinkie Pie.

Words can not express my love for this

Dont stop Believin me friend

>>378826378826

Don't worry: I'll hold on to that feelin'

>>378812378812

Keep dat flow goin'.

oh god sweetie bell...

read all the other 3 storys in one go, am really liking it.

>>379217379217

This pleases me. This pleases me greatly.

>>379217379217

Isn't it the worst and best feeling being caught up with a great fanfic?

On one hand, yay, you're reading a great work of writing, enjoying your time with it, and everything. Then, on the other hand, you have to wait for the author to write the next bit and you feel like you're missing something if you aren't reading it.

I heap praise on certain fics every now and then, but I really can't get over how much I've fallen in love with this series, nor can I recommend it enough.

>>381132381132

I know the feel, bro. And oddly enough, it feels the same on the other side.

Hearing people say they like my stories and are waiting for the next chapter makes me just want to say, "screw this, let's post the next one!" Except if I do, not only might they not be as good, I'll quickly run out of stored material which makes later waits even longer. So sad!

But you're a huge encouragement, and as long as I got these hands of mine, rest assured that I'll write as fast as Rainbow Dash flies. Thanks!

3 words: Best. Series. Ever.

>>382161382161

I know, right?

>>382168382168

Divines Smile on this author.

This fic needs MOAR attention. Wont you agree?

>>382175382175

That would be wonderful. If only I could figure out how...

>>382246382246

I'm advertising this series every time someone asks for a good, light-hearted fic to read.

BTW: Don't change whatever it is that you do for your writing process, its working.

This is the BEST. POSSIBLE. THING!

>>384280384280

*brohoof* it man.

good, good, shorter then the other chapters but hay, anything works for me

well, whatever the CMC plan its gona become a diaster.

>>386279386279

Eeyup it pretty much does

Short but entertaining.

"...tie them up, and if need be… give them a bath.”

I like where this is going.

I love this, keep it up

I'm sensing somthing bad happened to his other 4 compadres

>>394981394981

The force is strong in this one. Perhaps I'll even tell that story one day.

I'm going to comment more heavily on this in the big batch of notes that I'll compile for you in a couple of days, but I wanted to mention this: You have an excellent talent for world building. Not only have you sucked in several loyal readers, but you have built and altered Equestria in such a way that it still feels very true to the show while still making it very much yours.

Personally I want to know more about Grave's medals than anything, you've foreshadowed that Grave's companions were killed or put out of action just by the little you have of them here and I don't think that you really need to elaborate on that further until/unless a deeper relationship forms between Graves and Rarity, or any of the 'Mane 6.'

As always, can't wait for more.

>>396163396163

Hoo, lordy, I'm glad you caught onto that! I don't want to say too much and spoil the surprise, but let's just say that all the thinks you want to find out about will come back at some point later on.

Also, I'm really glad that you like the world. It's taken me a lot of time to establish it because I want it to be a foundation for everything that grows from it, especially the relationships. I've been taking those really slow because I want to properly nurture them, let them take root and really blossom. But then again, I guess it's good because that means I'll have to write more, eh?

As always, thanks for the support and the feedback: you rock socks off!

His pride is no dead, R.I.P Grave's manhood

Wow... That's a lot of world building that you have going on here.

I really hope that you're going to put Rarity and Graves together, in someway, they're such an interesting couple.

I working on that batch of notes for you, is there anything in particular that you want me to look at?

...lol...the donut  part

>>404669404669

A good relationship's like fine wine: there has to be good base ingredients that are aged properly in order to bring out a rich, complex bouquet. As for what happens to Rarity and Graves, well... let's just wait and see.

Nothing specific. Just anything you liked that I should keep doing, flaws I could fix, and suggestions on what could be different. Any kind of constructive criticism is appreciated.

Poor bastard.

But I guess Rarity has been taking tips from Celestia.

Graves Y U NO secure with masculinity?

>>405531405531

For any little gramatical or wording errors that I find, I'm going to comment on the specific chapter and keep the minor things out of the notes.

I LOVE IT!!!! Next chapter will get funnier i guess. Keep on rolling my friend

and then they found out Tom had a son

rock turtles!? I must have one.

>>412810412810>>412802412802

The rock turtle: illegitimate child of Tom and his mistress, Senora Shells. Theirs was a love that simply could not be.

My fancy man senses are tingling

>>413039413039

I think you have your next fic!

Rock turtles. Because turtles are to mainstream.

>>414098414098

You know what? I think you're right. And in the immortalized words of Rarity: "IDEEEAAAAAA!!!!!"

"You do have a point there,” Rarity giggled. “It’d be like Applejack and Rainbow Dash together: if they did anything besides argue, I’d eat my hat.”

That's a nice little dig at my favorite ship, thanks.  

Great chapter, loving every moment of it.

OH GAWD, SO MANY IMAGES FLASHING IN MY BRAIN

>>414840414840

Lol! Actually, I have nothing against it. I just felt like being a bit of a troll there.

>>415358415358

... is that good?

>>416159416159 i dunno you tell me... to me, it's good

>>416227416227

In that case, bene! Molto bene!

Rock Turtle....... Lesser known cousin to the Rock Lobster?

I can't till the next story!!!!!!

That was the other complications, Rarity saw the inside of Graves and was very disturbing.

I LOVE THIS SERIES!!!!!! FIVE OUT OF FIVE .

Can the next chapter have a Derpy camio PLEASE????

*sniffle* that was so sad BUT SO AWESOME! great job sir/madam mustache for you

>>419474419474 that reminded me of digimon :P

molto bene!

Why are these a bunch of different stories if it's the same chronologically?

>>422941422941

I write each story with an explicit beginning and end in mind. That makes them individuals, though individuals that connect. Hence, different stories.

(Plus, it's so much neater than a story with chapter 1.1-1.8, 2.1-2.4, and so on, don't you think? )

>>422793422793

I've seen that series before: why don't I remember the awesome Italian?

>>422242422242 I can do a camio. Or, I could hold off just a bit and write a short story all about our favorite muffin loving pony. Eh? Eh?

>>422263422263 As the gentleman that I am, I receiveth said mustache with the utmost of reverence.

>>422141422141

Thanks! Oh yeah, and congrats on the Crusaders Forever fic! Over 3.5K!

>>419673419673

Also scientifically known as graniticus, crustaceus.

>>423169423169 4th series... digimon frontier

I am very glad that I did not wait until monday to read this(class), there were so many feels that i could not hold all of them and i also literally burst out laughing several times

>>423376423376

You literally lolled? Haha, success!

>>423193423193

Thanks

I knew I would love this one. I didn't read it until now because I hate readimg incomplete stories. Ah well! Great job! Reminds me of Vash the Stampede. 5/5, 10/10/ would read again!

>>423174423174 Then you do that over the week while you write the "Untangling the Knot" but if you can, give Derpy a camio in the next story

Loved this addition to the story so far, can't wait to see the next one.

Hey man, would you mind if i drop "winks" to your story in one that I'm writing? If so that'd be great

>>427288427288

By all means, go right ahead!

You sir deserve a moustache . No not a moustache you deserve more than that you deserve a pinkie and a twilight and a little something from me .

Good day sir.

I think when we talk to our pets we are really talking to ourselves and giving ourselves answers to things we already decided. Rarity already knew what she was going to wear subconciously, but used her cat as a conversation object to bring the fact up. Though if that is the case....the....un-lady like thoughts Rarity had were already there, and she is no doubt considering them subconciously.

Image: http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj250/9458194/atom.jpg

Oh those CMC

>>454310454310

That, good sir, is a brilliant observation. I tip my hat to you.

>>455168455168 Looks like my psych classes are paying off

Ah poor Graves, he has fallen into what society dictates to be the only true way to be masculine, being macho, strong, and pretty much not doing anything that would be seen as feminine. Though he is still capable of being saved if Rarity goes about it right, which she seems to be doing just fine. This chapter has a good lesson to be learned, shame society can't seem to figure it out, otherwise I'll bet you anything we would see crime rates drop a decent amount.

NOOO NOOO NOOO!!!!! YOU LISTEN TO ME GRAVSE YOU GET BACK IN THAT BUILDING AND DOOOO HER!!!

AHAHA HOMIGOD MARRIAGE!!!

Well. Let the Awkwardness ensure!

The Lovely Romance of the Three Kingdoms...三国演义!?

Romance of the Three Kingdoms...A Chinese Classic.

And completely true.

>>705132705132

Lol, good eye! For this, I award you a fine moustache.

I just registerd to this website in order to tell you that this story is one of the best I've ever read.  Fim fiction or not.

You, sir, are a creator.

Oh god.... This is gonna get awkward.

I keep thinking of that one song that goes,"I should've kissed you...".

Were those places outside of Equestria a reference to other fictional locations like The Hall of the Mountain King and Pirates of the Carribean's "World's End"?

Also, I've been reading all the stories  in the past day so I'm hooked with the writing style and character developments.

Did you base Graves off of Vash the Stampede? Many things reminded me of him, especially the scars.

I spent the entire chapter giggling to myself, and going "oh, no..." Awkwardness shall soon ensue...

Though Graves would make a pretty cool uncle!

Oh, Rarity...

Normally I wouldn't stand for shipping OCs with canon characters, but this is good enough to warrant an exception.

This series needs more attention.

Cutie Mark Crusaders, never change.

Scootaloo dismissed with a loud raspberry. “It’s not like they’re getting married or something.”

Still reading the chapter, but I just wanted to say this made me EPIC 4X COMBO
