SO...MUCH...D'AWWWWW!!..Loved the way this fic came together. And you nailed little macintosh as i always imagined him. He's one of my faves from the show and i almost always read fics with him in it.
That was awesome.
I love your characterisation of both Granny Smith and poor lil' Macintosh, and proclaim that you've really made me care about the bond between puppy and pony.
Also, Daisy Jo deserves her own story.
OMG so much DAAAWWWW!!! ![]()
Great characterization of granny smith, loved the whole apple family background and Little Mac ![]()
Awesome work keep up your awesome work, fav and watch ![]()
This was quite an enjoyable little story. Judging from this you seem like a really good writer, and I must compliment your amazing imagery. Well done sir!![]()
GASP he's trying to ninja-edit the story! Don't let him fool you with all of his small and subtle improvements!
Lol "solid bloom"
Anyway nice read loved very chapter and this made me Dawwwwwwww multiple times
Btw if ya haven't noticed this is featured in EQD so be prepared for the thumbs ups, faves, and not to mention the wave of readers coming here
I epically adore alternative angle episode stories, this was all kinds of wonderful!
"She’s going to grow up to be a quiet, sweet little filly."
Sure Granny Smith, she is going to be QUIET ![]()
Loed the story, real touching
I love your characterisation of Granny Smith. I think her first bit in the bushes with Private Bloom and the gas attack was my absolute favorite. Big Macintosh as Little Macintosh is just too adorable for words! :D
I think that is my favorite line too. The CMC are such angelic little fillies when they get bigger. ![]()
I've always seen Granny as an older Pinkie Pie. Seriously, think about it. ![]()
That Mysecsha guy is clever. I don't even want to go into some of the other clauses in our editorial agreement. ![]()
A great story , but i don't like the end. As a dog owner i know: a man never would give away his dog.
and the change of the name broke my heart, it's like every thing happened between bigmac and jacks is erased from time![]()
I can see how you got that feel, but worry not. It's not like they are a farm apart! Dogs take to name changes easy. His Jacks came home. That hole filled, he gets to see Winona bring the same happiness to his sister. A part of him will always think of her as Jacks, bringing puppy love to anypony in need.
Aside; phones are hard to comment with.
Even though I came here expecting alien invasions, explosions and demon possession (Alondro also expected that in "Romeo and Juliette", just so you know. He's obsessed.) this was a really nice story, a fitting backstory for Winona and Mac's time alone when AJ left for a spell.
Well, there was going to be an alien abduction scene. Then I remembered that Daisy Jo had brokered a deal with the aliens to curtail any further bovine experiments. So I had to cut it.
Funny story. I didn't realize this became a Winona origin story until a few comments popped up to tell me. I am teh dense. ![]()
100th like!! Good story bro/bro-ete this is the goldest fluffy goodness i have ever seen!![]()
Good, solid story. The gas attack scene was hilarious.
:
Nice inclusion of Daisy Jo as well. I think this is the first time I've seen her in a fic. You also captured Granny quite well. ![]()
I will say that something feels missing, though. I had expected a scene where Granny confronts Mac about Winona, nothing major, really. Maybe just demonstrating acceptance, or pretending she wouldn't just to pull his mane. There's something else, but I can't quite put my finger on it. Could be that you could've "drawn out" the emotions a little more. Not sure if I can be clearer that that.
Still, I enjoyed it, especially since it involved Winona. I have a soft spot for dogs. ![]()
4.0/5
I'm glad you enjoyed it. I had given thought to having a confrontation between Granny and Lil Macintosh, but I decided against it. She seems like the kind to let him have his secret, so long as it isn't hurting anything. It also could have probably used a little more time on him being conflicted between the guilt of keeping a secret and the fear that Granny wouldn't let him keep Jacks.
Perhaps I will someday come back and ninja edit in his confession to Granny and her acceptance, with a side of extra chores for keeping it from her for so long.
Well played, Sir... particularly loved the MGS reference... I'd take an Applebloom on the codec over freakin' Otacon any day.
And with this week's episode, this story now slips that much more comfortably nestled by canon.
Just read (listened to via Zamzar text-to-speech) this story a few days ago. It's pretty cute, and catches the spirit of the show fairly well. Some sad bits, but it's nothing soul-crushingly unhappy.
>>1842233 Cool. :D I'd recommend converting from .docx if you have it. .epub if it's a short story. .txt only if you can't get it into another form easily. I'm not sure why, but my .txt->mp3 conversions with Zamzar always turned out really junky with a lot of odd sounds in random spots.
