Damn, this is good.

Thanks, I'm glad to hear that people like my story.

TBH I was a little hesitant about submitting it because I wasn't certain how good it was.

Plus it was the spawn of a 2am spree....nothing good ever happens at 2 am:pinkiecrazy:

4042939 well i actually write at my best at 2 am :rainbowlaugh: any other time i get distracted.

4042993

I'm like that with programming. I find that sometimes when I write tired I end up drooling all over the page as my brain explodes in fatigue.

Other than that ya, no distractions is awesome.

I really just need to get an I.V. full of caffeine for nights like that :pinkiehappy:

4043013 I always have a cup of coffee nearby, in the event of a full brain shut down.

4043032

Haha I used to have a stockpile of monsters. I won a 3 month supply in a raffle at a party.

They lasted about 3 weeks :rainbowlaugh:

4043040 :rainbowlaugh: I'm pretty much the same when it comes to stuff like that, Some thing that should last me at least a couple weeks I blow through it within a couple days.

4043040 also btw i really love the coverart!

4043055

It's not mine but I spent a lot of time choosing it. I had to have something anthro that expressed how Dash really felt about her situation. Her complete and total emotional instability had to be realized through the art.

The guy who drew that is an absolute god.

4043073 Definitely! Dash looks amazing, whilst also looking as if she has some sad, inner turmoil. The artist needs some kind of medal!

Update tonight. :raritywink: It should be posted before 11 pm EST.

I'm liking this. :coolphoto: But who will she make out with next to be happy??? :trixieshiftright:

4044748

Update very soon :ajsmug: be patient, and I suggest you reread how Soarin reacted. :raritywink:

Last paragraph. Should be

sped back towards her mansion

not

Speed back towards her mansion.

Other than that, there were no noticeable errors and it was an amazing story. Please continue.

4045502

working on it right now :pinkiehappy: actually doing a runthrough to make sure I catch errors like that this time. reread my authors note today and realized just how sleepdrunk I was last night.

4045552
Nice. I do most of my best writing when I'm sleep deprived. For some reason, my inner grammar Nazi comes out when I'm tired.

4045601

I wish it was like that with me. My best ideas come when I'm sleep deprived but my logic goes to java, not english. My grammar skills take an exponential course downwards after around 12 am.:pinkiecrazy:

4044748

Chapter update. Enjoy :twilightsmile:

Dash tore *off* the rest of her few remaining clothes
You put of instead of off.

4045704

Ya nearly did that last night but caught myself then. That's literally my biggest pet peeve when it comes to mistakes I make:flutterrage:

Fixed.

4045722
Your writing skill is well above mine when it comes to emotional shit, but at the price of occasional misspellings and grammar mistakes. Seems like a decent trade off.

4045740

Lol. I'm a poet at heart, and my poetry tends to ignore grammatical bounds. :twilightsmile:

I am working on getting grammar locked down though. Grammatical errors make it a bit less professional.

Um, what makes them anthro again? While skimming the first chapter and a bit of the beginning of the second one, I don't seem to notice anyone resembling an anthro pony keeping most of their pony traits as in their heads, fur, tail, wings, or hooves for feet. I may be looking at it too fast but this seems more like a humanized fanfic then anthro, unless that's what happens in the third chapter.

4045859

Wings mostly. Color can be retained whether the reader wants it or not, I suggested that color was retained with Pinkie Pie's encounter. I also haven't described the faces much either. They could go either way as well.

But I did explicitly include wings

EDIT:

I don't plan on any hooves though, and tails seem like they're out of the picture or they would've made an appearance already.

4045866
So in other words the "ponies" in this fic don't exactly resemble the original definition. From the way you just described them, sounds more like winged and tailed humanizations, with Equestria Girls skin coloring on the side. That's not enough of a description of them to be considered half-human half-pony, at least... in the usual sense. If that's how you see anthro characters I suppose I can't stop you, but I might have to warn you that others from the other anthropomorphic group might not be happy about it. Hopefully the ones that won't be happy about it are most likely just lurkers and you'll most likely never hear from them at all, so it's not all that bad.

Huh. I think I like this. Your story is moving a bit fast, to the point that it almost feels like you started writing it from the middle and just never bothered filling in the beginning; but the characters are likeable enough that I don't feel alienated by the lack of context. Have a fave and an upvote.

4046207

Yeah I've always prefered more human in anthro than pony. As I said, I could make the faces resemble ponies, but I don't think it's going to happen.

If I get complaints I'll remove it though.

Thanks for the heads up.

4046644

Thank you. I thought it was a bit rushed as well but there was a certain way I wanted to execute the plot so I went with it.

As for the beginning, I wanted to show how RD felt when she was alone, without her friends. I could've started it at an earlier time, but again the way I wanted the plot to go threw that idea out.

Thanks for the remarks, you gave me an upvote and criticism, whereas most people who give me downvotes won't even leave a simple comment as to why:flutterrage:

So I thank you :pinkiesmile:

4046792

people who give me downvotes won't even leave a simple comment as to why

I know and I hate that. I mean, you just read a free story. For free. Somebody spent time making that story, getting it as perfect as they felt they could, and then posted it for the whole damned world to see. While the reader is in no way obligated to like the finished product, at least respect the work that went into it.

4046824

So entirely true.

In the time it's taken for this exchange I've received another down vote, but no comment as to why :trixieshiftleft:

4046828 Probably the human or anthro tags. Some people like to aimbot those things.

4046888

That's ridiculous. Isn't this a fandom of love and tolerance?

EDIT:

I say this for the benefit of others. I realize this happens it's just stupid that it does.

4046903 Yeah it's ridiculous, but then there's always a little bit of the ridiculous in our passions. I mean, I'm a grown man and a vet, yet I'm spending my morning delaying my PT to read about technicolor ponies from a children's show. Ridiculous? Absolutely. But still fun.

Thanks for the follow, even though I don't write for this site. Have some reciprocity.

4047037

I try to follow and group up with people of similar ideals to me.

I'm pretty ridiculous as well. I haul a laptop bag laden down with electronics that I've built and a laptop specifically used for checking fimfiction during pre-cal. :rainbowlaugh:

I also look pretty goofy wearing a set of circumnaural headsets down the hall, but, as with ponies, I'm passionate about audio. I guess that there will always be that bias and willingness to do anything for your passion whether it be good or bad:pinkiesmile:

I feel like this is going to fast. It's just kinda oh your drunk and alone let's have sex. Idk not to discourage you or anything. It's still a good read so far. Just keep it going

4050207

I tried to insinuate that this had been going on for a while and that Soarin had just gotten up the courage to talk to her in any respect.

To be totally honest I thought the same thing though. I would love to have a second go at it but at this point it's a bit too late.


EDIT:

I should've made her seem more drunk because then the situation would have made a bit more sense. People do really dumb crap when they're drunk

4046644 This.

Keep going I'm roving it a fav and upvote as well.

4052091

thank you. I think I have the antidote to the first chapter rush though....I don't want to announce it here so is it ok if I pm you? I would really love someones help who understands the stories downfalls.

4052180 sure do whatever you like. Though if it, the pm, isn't sent soon I might not be able to answer for a while. I got work and stuff so if I do it'll be later tonight

Holy shit. It's 5 am. Damn you daylight savings time.

Anyway, Chapter update! This chapter is a completely new field of writing for me and I suck at dialogue! Tell me what you guys think!

that having a penis drained all of your feelings into your balls, and they could only be released by a hefty force being applied to the area

THATS NOT TRUE! thats not true!! I show more emotion than most girls i know! (They kind of think i'm gay becuase of it but who cares? Oh and i've been friendzoned by every. Single. One :pinkiesad2:) oh and I have a gay friend who I think has a thing for me, he doesn't believe me when i say I'm not gay :facehoof:

4056032

Haha I totally get you. I'm a guy too, and I'm emotional to the max. It was a joke that I made up to show how many guys have an utter lack of emotion. :rainbowlaugh:

I'm a hopeless romantic and probably relate more to Dash in this story than Soarin.

Don't worry, there are worse things than being friend zoned. :applecry:

EDIT:

Oh! almost forgot! have another chapter update :)

4056038 yeah like everyone thinking you're gay? Or one of your best friends trying to hit on you? That could be worse.

Umm... Pinkie seems really OOC...

4056185

Like your gf that you worked so hard to win over and did everything humanly possible to make happy calling you and telling you she's at her ex's house and wants to give him another go and dumps you over the phone.

True, and utterly painful, story

BTW I'm not discrediting you. Everyone has their shit and it sounds like you have just as much if not more than me

4056188

Ooc?

If that by chance means out of character then I would disagree. I wrote her to be a typical party animal.

Thanks for the input though its always welcome

I give your comment a thumbs up because I don't understand why someone would downvote feedback

4056693 Fuck....I don't think I would be able to handle that crap :facehoof:

4057300

Tore me up for a month. And it only happened 4 months ago. I put some of my feelings from things like that into my literature or at least I try my best to.
