    Vinyl Scratch has finally reached fame, overcoming the struggles caused by her blindness, and became the DJ Pon3. Ponies love her music and she is a model to any who has struggles in their own life. But when she sets out to change a life on a more personal basis, will the challenge be too much?

    A continuation of the life of a blind Vinyl Scratch, this has to be one of the most original stories we have read on here.

    We look forward to see where you take this.

    Good to see part 2, so far so good. I am hoping that Vinyl will go to Derpy for advice.

    You have my attention and one of my thumbs pointed upward, good sir. Only one though, I need the other in case I ever need to hitch-hike across the world.

    Wait, 50 likes? How do these stories not get the attention they deserve?

    The concept is both new and interesting and the story is presented in a compelling way. I will admit I let this one sit on the "Read Later" list so long I had forgotten "Puff Tart" was the daughter and not the former operator. But I was only putting it off in hopes that it would be finished so I would not have to bare a painful wait. (≥5 Minuets is considered painful with a story of this caliber)

    Still, so far love it as much or more then the original and I can't wait until you get a chance to write some more.

    P.S

    Also, wheres Ditzy? I remember the previous story ending with a promise to help her. Don't tell me Scratch forgot....

    Also, first try at grammatical criticism so bare with me. But the exchange between Vinyl and Anne at the end its not clear that Anne is thinking. I re-read the line like four times before continuing because I could not believe her first words in the story after so much buildup were so nonchalant.

    But yeah great as always, literally can't wait for more!

    Might want to finish filling that one in.

    Other then that another great chapter to one of my favorite stories, the bit with Mic seems a bit rushed and just why in the nine hells can't sh brink River along? I mean sure its probably not the best place for a kid but still the whole "Oh I am here to adopt you, nope now I gotta leave you alone again for months." has got to be worse.

    Just finished reading through all the chapters so far.

    Can't say I'm confused at all. I can sense that its built on another story, but might aswell stand on its own. That's a mistake I've seen a couple authors do; when writing sequels (or connected stories in general). Underestimating the readers. The story is well written enough to grasp without the need for background reading.

    One of the problems I have with the other version is that, as far as I can recall, it sort of comes out of nowhere. I don't think the previous story had such dark elements in it neither. I could be wrong, but I don't care for that kind of stuff. And its really annoying when a story you enjoy just suddenly goes down a completely different path, using elements that you had no warning where coming. In my opinion, if you suddenly have to add a tag halfway through the story, you are doing it wrong. Use all the tags you think you need at the beginning of the story, and don't change that.

    Story wise, I aso struggle a bit with it. Vinyl has connections and a very wealthy adoptive father. Of course River is important to her, and that probably i only going to be more so. And of course she has her pride. But would she sell her body for that? She has options, she doesn't need to. It makes much more sense for her to tell Mic to stuff it and seek out others to help her, then to give in to Mic in this situation. But that's my two cents.

    This one is better in my opinion, mostly because it doesn't get me "riled up" (something that is very rare from 'fics), but the ending of this chapter also allows for more possibilities. I like this one better.

    Excellent. Usually these kind of scenes have at least one big plot-hole or some reason why it either wouldn't work or it would have severe negative consequences. However, since Vinyl tells her story to an interviewer for a big magazine in a public location, I've got nothing. Maybe someone else can point out stuff, I don't. I can just gloat at Mic getting his comeuppance.
