Stan was one of the lucky ones to make it out of the Canterlot disaster unscathed, unfortunately for him that means he now has to deliver a treaty to the princess.
Who happens to be one of his most deepest darkest fears.

Wow this seems so similar to the idea I had.

hatchling eater

Wut.

Good idea, i hope you handle it well.

4455737 Sounds like an insult for Celestia.

4455748 in that case, good.

In the description it shouldn't say "whom" but "who".

This gets all of my yes.

Have my YES!, All of them.

I like idea of this but uhh Stan approach to Queen and her to him was little strange, overall it was strange.

Interesting, looking forward to more

Neat story. Can't wait to see more.

4455737 he has an irrational fear off her, so he will clearely see her as a monster.

I love the concept, but the Wall of Text is once again a very hard-to-conquer foe, vanquish it with the might of proofreaders! \
Who are not me.

This seems interesting. I guess I'll have to wait see where this goes next... :trollestia:

Of all the things to get hung up on, I'm having problems getting my headcanon to accept this story's idea that carapaced, insectile changelings have bones that can be broken.

My feed said that chapter two was up, but when I tried to read it, I got the "story does not exist" screen. Any idea about what's going on?:rainbowhuh:

So, Chrysalis isn't a brute towards her hive? I always picture her being mean to them.

I shall fave this and see where it goes, as it has promise.

4455838

This gets all of my yes.

..says the wizard of no.

This seams intersting...

I want to read more of this... Only one suggestion.... Please dont make him pass out at the end of every chapter... I read a story like that once and it got a little annoying...

I'm not saying that you will do that and as this is only the first chapter, and he did just get though a failed invasion attempt! I can see him sleeping...

But I just thought I'd say... :)

4457948 What was the story called?

4457366

Hhm, I don't think they have bones exactly. However I think they snapped a peice of the namespace, and hence the breaking. Just my theory.:twilightblush:

4457756 Maybe she has a thinking similar to some kind of Changeling supremacy. Like "Fuck all others, save changelings". That's the most realistic positive dipiction in my opinion.

I am going to watch you bra. Watching you.
I likey likey this.

You know, I think he has a reasonable fear. I mean, Celestia is taller than most ponies, has a horn and wings and also happens to raise a giant fireball in the sky. Although I'd find it funnier and more ironic if a pony had Celestiphobia.

4458017 I cannot quite remember the name of it... I did not save it to my faves because I was not fond of it....

Come on, man. If you're going to use the cover art, at least source it. It took me five seconds to find the original artist on deviantArt.

Dawww I feel sorry for Stan the Changeling.

I had a nightmare once where I was on a school trip to a mansion where it then exploded. For some reason.

Item 1. I approve of the name "Stan" for comedic protagonists.

Item 2. Oogie Boogie's song...a classic. It's hard to imagine the song being sung by anything other than a bass though.

One heck of a rough morning keep up the great story :pinkiehappy:

Wow "The Wheatley Song" from Harry. I applaud you sir/madam :moustache:

I am loving this so fucking much so far :pinkiehappy:

That was great!:pinkiehappy: I wonder if Luna watches changeling dreams as well?

Not even read it yet, and already I'm interested. That cover image had me giggling for a good two minutes.

How long do you think this fic will be, Dr Atlas?

4459038
Well, seeing as how I didn't expect this story to get this much attention.

Than go ahead and go practice medicine writing! :trollestia:

Clearly someling has been watching too much of "The Night Before Hearth Warming".

4455771

Good, why? He has an irrational fear of Celestia. Irrational in this case means unfounded, no reason to have it. That she is benevolent, just, understanding, and compassionate. So why would someone like that need to be insulted?

This is not a bad story. I really like the premise. However, there are quite a few flaws. Just because a story made the Featured page doesn't mean it's great-- it just means it's popular.

The pacing is a little on the fast side, but not by much. Just throw in some more descriptions and details. Just two minutes of work would make a big difference.

The grammar could use a little polish. You have a pretty good grasp of the English language, but it's not quite enough to write a story with. You're average. There was one line that really bugged me:

Must of made my way to the branch last night.

This is one mistake that always annoys me when I see it. A little tip: in the English language, the phrases "must of", "should of", "would of", etc. do not exist. What you meant to say was either "must have" or "must've". The source of the mistake comes from mishearing the latter.

And lastly, that song you spoofed is one of the most often-parodied songs out there. It's not quite as overdone as "Arrow in the Knee" or "Twilight evolved into Rapidash", but it's still not the most original gag out there. It's a nice try, though.

Any other flaws I can think of aren't certain yet. It's still too early in the story to determine if what I'm thinking of are flaws or just flukes.

I kinda like this story, but it's too soon to tell if it's good. You haven't quite hooked me yet.

Erm, well, ponies appear to be they're natural enemy...and Celestia is one that can basically kamikaze your people with the sun, fly, and use magic. As for Hatchling eater, what monster have you heard of that doesn't eat children? Slenderman, werewolves and vampires all supposed kill children. It's like that one horror story you're dad told you at the campfire. And, well, she kind of sent them flying out of a entire country and..Well you saw what happened in chapter 1.

Just my opinion. :derpytongue2:

none of us can barely move

the cave, once he was, he collapses on a nearby tree from the amount of stress

Tense

There are more, you need to edit.

4459725

... You don't understand. I was saying it's an irrational fear. Meaning yes, that is what the changeling(s) believe. The person I was responding to seemed to think it was a good idea that Celestia is being insulted. I'm questioning them as to what logical means they have for their personal opinion.

I heard the screech of a dragon.

He listened for a seconded couple seconds.

looking everywhere for some something that he could see anything.

another. he shut his eyes

There's several of these.

“Must of made my way to the branch last night.

What? 'To the branch'? You mean he sleep-flew into a branch, maybe? Also, it's Must've.

“Its for the swarm.'

:facehoof: It's* With an apostrophe. Compound of it is. It's. ffs.


All in all, it's kind of a nice story so far. The song and dance routine was done quite well (although the different characters' dialogue needed spacing to separate them sometimes), and you just don't see that too often. Nice touch. The premise is really super-interesting, no doubt a huge part of why it's been featured, and I really want to see where it goes.

But let's face it, your editing is lack luster. It's... not really that hard to edit your own writing. I realize that some people think themselves incapable of it, but if you can write this much this well, you can do it. If you really want a cop out, you can look for editors in various editing groups around here. Or just ask for someone interested in doing the job in the author's notes. If this stays in the feature box, which I'm gambling it will, you will come across way more grammar nazis than just me. Believe me, I'm tame comparatively.

Regardless, I'll leave you with this:
