Two Months ago, a mysterious portal appeared, different to any portal he had seen in his life, then again, to the casual observer, he was only 35...

-I feel like it's a good idea to try and reduce the amount of times you use commas in one sentence, whenever possible. It keeps the reader from mentally pausing too much while reading, so try to make them 'Flow' as well as possible.

Exactly two months ago, a mysterious portal appeared that was much different to any portal he had seen in his life... then again to the casual observer, he was only 35...

-This is just my own opinion and this is NOT how you HAVE to change it. This is just an example of what I mean when I say there are many more options than just filling a sentence with commas. Remember that as you write, repetitively placing things like commas too often leads to a tough time reading for some people.

You see, the mysterious world on the other side of the portal, was this really strange land known as Equestria, inhabited by intelligent equines (among other species) this made it funny to him, it remembered him of an old toy line that had been scrapped so long ago... he made his way to the Airport, then to the plane, He had to go to Switzerland... it reminded him of the countless accidents he had heard of on such Hadron Colliders... not that anyone knew how much he did...

-Just like before... but also notice that this is all one sentence. Try not to make descriptions like this contain only 1-2 sentences. Try to split them up after you reach a "Certain point". A good rule of thumb I use is, one full line, left to right then half of one more line. This is my average for one sentence... of course this is just my own perspective, but you should find yourself your own good medium.

ALSO INDENTS! they make the structure of a story much more appealing to the eye, even though it is only one stroke of a button it really makes a difference.

-There are many area's that need capitals after a some kind of punctuation, so you should probably hop on that. A good way to catch those is to, after you finish writing, click the edit button on fimfiction again so it's normal reading format and just... read it yourself. Very often you will find your own mistakes. But then again that's what I'm here for.

''Well, in that case, I will do my best Your Highness''

''Please, call me Celestia''

-This here is another important thing you need to watch for, as it can cause the reader some confusion. However here it is much less obvious due to the pony speaking having their name IN the dialog... but in many other dialog areas this can lead to confusion. It's always a good idea to put some kind of text next to, or before, the dialog... to give it some emotion or even say WHO the speaker is.

Here is an example:

''Well, in that case, I will do my best Your Highness'' (Name here) said as he looked at the Princess.

''Please, just call me Celestia" She quickly replied with a smile (Or whatever emotion is appropriate at the moment)

That's basically all I have to say. You got your story across but in a way that can be worked upon. If you wish for me to edit this myself I'm more than happy to do so, but you'll have to put it on G-docs or something of the like, and allow me editing control.

P.S. If ANY of this sounded harsh please know it was not my intention. I just don't want a good story idea to go to waste because certain problems that sway the readers temptation to... well... READ IT caused the story to fail.
