    Fluttershy has a little problem that she needs a trained herbalist to handle but when she asks a certain enigmatic Zebra for help, she gets far more than she bargained for.

    :facehoof: Great, another one of these... Well, at least it's got a romance tag, so there's that, and at least Zecora rhymes here. You'd be surprise how many people just don't bother with that.

    You need more commas. It's kind of sounds weird reading long dialog without any pauses, and it's a bit jarring.

    Needs a tad bit of touch up on the sentence structure and grammar, not to mention the spelling and capitalization (Rarity and Rarity's, not rarity and rarities. It's a name, not a description). Besides that though, I like it.

    Fluttershy went bright crimson. Holding her hood under Zecora's chin, pulling her close she whispered in Zecora's ear. "And just think, we get to do that every night for six more nights."

    and then how far did zecora traveled to get in the everfree? if so the morning would be crouded with zebra willing to get a piece of meat, and that aint a good thing >.<

    But if you're not gonna use it then I don't really see what else you could do with the story. The only other things you could do is something about what Zecora was thinking about or something else with Bronze Hoof. I'm not trying to tell you how to write the story, I'm just saying, in my point of view, there's not many other directions you could take the story.

    I notice in this chapter you forget to use 'an' a lot.

    She never took Zecora for the strong muscular type mainly becuase if didn't show in her body shape...

    Oddly enough I noticed many fics avoid using the word 'an' unless the author is  British as Americans seem to have habit of short handing 'an' into just 'A' for usage when stressing a noun.

    anyways, thanks for pointing out the typo.:scootangel:

    Reply 

    >>1022275 If they aren't using an, then they aren't doing it right. 'An' should always be used in place of 'a' when put before a word with the first letter being a vowel (unless, if you're like me, it just doesn't sound right at all with 'an' instead of 'a'). You wouldn't say a elephant, because that's stupid and it sounds stupid (i.e: 'That is an ugly cow.' as compared to 'That is a funny cow.'). Seriously, the butchering of the English language nowadays irks me to no end.

    This could definitely use some grammatical assistance (much to lazy to point anything out myself, but a good editor/proofreader could help where I won't) and maybe a small toning down of the vulgar sex language (really. That isn't sexy.).

    However, this is interesting. Some of the dialogue kills it (make that a lot of the dialogue), but I love me some futa ponies. Too bad there won't be any tentacle graping going on, but I can definitely settle for this. I'm interested in seeing what the tribe does about the whole forsaking thing and I'm curious as to where this relationship will go. Zony babies go!

    Overall, so far, I give it a 6/10. I'll hold any further judgement until it's finished.

    Read the wiki on the word and yes 'an' is typically associated with straight British English and not the American dialect (where we have been using both interchangeably since the turn of the 20th century). Even a  English professor at Harvard mentioned that the word is almost non- existent in American written publications, favoring shorthand 'A' over the British counterpart.

    Grammar Nazi is one thing but I find too many people treat English as a rigid never changing landscape instead of a fluid, ever changing and breathing creature it truly is. (Like how professors  get all uppity when someone uses the word "literally" as a placeholder for "metaphorically" despite the fact people have been using it with intentional hyperbole as far back as the 1700s.)  

    Also I'm not toning down the vulgarity any so feel free to down vote me now.

    anywho the next chapter should be out sometime later today.

    Reply 

    >>1044815 It's almost non-existent cause Americans are lazy. It's, unfortunately, a fact of life and kind of sad, but oh well, what can you do? If people what their sentences to sound stupid, all the power to them. I'll keep my 'an's and 'a's and use them properly to improve the flow of my story.

    Can do, though. Excessive vulgarity = porn star bullshit. It's bland, unattractive, and detracts from the intimacy of the act (especially if you are going for romance).

    I wouldn't call it excessive exactly. Zecora's silly rhymes seem to counterbalance it fairly well but to each his/her own I guess. (it also seems to kinda match Fluttershy, as the shy reserved ones are always the loudest when doing "the act")

    IE on your stories the constant paragraph indents and florid over describing structure makes me want to club a seal. Everyone has bones to pick with different styles of writing I guess. To this you must agree though: at least it's not a wall of text or ponyfall >>.

    Reply 

    >>1045098 I just realized that you don't indent all your paragraphs. :rainbowlaugh: *sigh* Another rule of the English language being thrown to the wind over time. I guess I'm just old fashioned (considering that's how I was taught). I'd like to say that I love description, though. It really helps  to truly pull you into the story and paint the world in a better image. I know that a fuck ton of description, though can be bad (i.e. you can't even get a story told due to describing how nice/bad the tree bark looks.)

    While I have absolutely no idea what ponyfall is, I will agree on the first part. Walls of text make me want to murder and bleed from my eyes.

    >>1045098 I would like to say, however, that the rhyming does help to alleviate the vulgarity, but I just can't see Fluttershy being the pony to... express herself? in such a way. Perhaps Rarity or maybe Twilight, but the only time I could see Fluttershy being loud is during the Iron Hoof episode or when she gets super stressed.

    Ponyfall is a humanized POE story where pretty much more than half the stories in the series were "hey lets haz sex with humanized mane six" self fulfillment stories, the worst of them being ponyfall rainbows.

I'll hafta read back to previous comments to remember seeing as it's been more than five minutes since I've check, but omfg why do people even read ponyfall. There isn't any faith in humanity. They aren't even ponies anymore. Human x Pony is bad enough, but when you take out the pony all together, you might as well make it a Harry Potter or Twilight fanfic or something. Just change the names and, bam! You won't even be able to tell the difference.

    First of all, I'm more of a movie critic so I was referring to when someone uses the "Moses" storyline, which has been to death. Second, I haven't been on the site for long. But I have been around long enough to know that your story is actually pretty good. Third, what you said about Zecora not being used enough is kind of invalided for me because I read an amazing Zecora story with good comedy, some great "steamy" scenes, a creative and original story, and one of the best twist endings ever. The thing is: just because something doesn't have something people really hate and has one really great character, that doesn't make it good. You need other aspects to back it up. For example, if a movie has horrible writing, a bad story, and awful direction, but it has a great actor in it, there's very little chance of that actor saving the movie. Also, what's HIE?

    add some fruit punch to the mix

    Be careful Zecora! Not considering possible side effects, you should NOT use citrus fruits! The citric acid could negate or at least weaken the effect of the brew, I know this for a fact that citric acid can prevent the effects of Ibuprofen and Melatonin. Just be careful :pinkiehappy:
