I prefer to go by 'Riggy'. I love MLP with a passion, and I sincerely hope that I can become a real part of this fandom! I'm planning to go to Everfree in May (It'll be my first con! So excited!).

Luna comes back to Ponyville for the first anniversary of her very first Nightmare Night. She's looking forward to another night of fun and games, but she may end up getting something even better when she ends up striking up a conversation with a certain zebra... A new friend!

Hey! Someone else wrote a Lucora story!
That's one pairing I love, too bad it's so rare.

Official EFNW 2015 Pre-Con Contest first round grading

Total: 20.5
Technical: 4/5
Plot: 3.5/5
Character: 4/5
Creativity: 5/5
Bonus: 4/5 (It actually managed to create a fun and interesting dynamic between Luna and Zeora.)
Comment: Technical took a bit of a hit from occasional errors and very poorly executed dashes, but was otherwise pretty good; it got noticeably better as the story went along. Plot was lowered because I didn't really find any overarching conflict to be resolved. It gets the job done, but it doesn't build and release tension. The characters were pulled off pretty well, which is impressive given that Zecora and archaic Luna are both difficult to do well. I was particularly pleased to see that not only were Zecora's rhymes not butchered, some of them actually came out very well and creatively. And, of course, the Zecora x Luna friendship is very creative, and yet makes great sense. They can really relate to each other, both from linguistic oddities and from knowing what it's like to be feared and shunned.

Lovely. Coming from most other characters, Zecora's words would have felt a bit too insightful and on-the-nose, but Zecora is, well, wise enough to feel genuine.

Both Luna and Zecora are easy to mess up, but both are presented in a manner that is consistent with the show. Fantastic all around.
