Dear Celestia,

Please send help.

Sincerely, Chrysalis.

A fic told through a series of letters.

I...can't really see Celestia straight-up ignoring them for two months without so much as a reply. I mean, this is the pony who decided to reform Discord.

6365914 Thanks for the honest critique. I wrote this in one sitting in under two hours, so I never stopped to think about its fundamental flaws.

The fic is well written, and you transmit Chrysalis's desperation very well, but I have to agree with Waypoint: it is difficult to see Celestia ignoring such desperate messages - I can see she being sceptical by the first, and maybe the second, but by the third message, she would try check the facts (maybe stealthly...) and if it was truth (as it is) she would help. I can see Celestia maybe at best putting some reasonable conditions on the help to prevent latter changeling attacks (it her duty to her ponies), but she would act to prevent such disaster.

There is only two possible explanations: or Celestia was acting by the first messages but for some reason the help only arrived now, or is that Chrysalis was sending the requests for help... but for some reason Celestia wasn't receiving them! (they are being intercepted?)

6365970 I appreciate the review. Like I said to Waypoint, this was a fic I wrote in under two hours, so I didn't think about any plot holes and that sort of thing.

I really like this! Could you do a sequel?

6365996 I don't know. Maybe? I only just released this.

6365998 Wow. That was an incredibly fast response. And I just meant in the future.:pinkiehappy:

6366002 If I want to, maybe. But I'm not very good at writing diplomacy, let alone a situation as particular as Celestia's and Chrysalis's.

I agree that Celestia wouldn't have ignored her for almost three months. After the part about her son dying, I'm sure she'd have said something. Very great story, but that single factor kind of...how do I put this? ruins it for me slightly. NOT saying it's a had story. It's very good, I just don't know how to feel about Celestia ignoring her like that

6366097 I appreciate the review.

I think I'll leave an author's note at the beginning of the fic saying I wrote this in under two hours and never stopped to fix the plot.

You know what? This fic is actually pretty damn good

6366102 I think I'll write a knock off of this. I'm desperate for anything to get me out of my writers block... But I still loved it! I didn't cry, but I came close

6366136

I think I'll write a knock-off of this

>First time someone has ever decided to write something based off of my fics

BRB Imma just go squee real quick.

6366146 by the way, your avatar is SO FRIGGIN ADORABLE! then again, when are ponies NOT adorable?

6366171
Hate to burst your bubble, but the expression on that pony' s face is intended to be creepy and/or dirty. :twilightsheepish:

6366208 You're not the only one who thinks that. One other person has told me that too. :trollestia:

6366210 it usually takes me four hours to write something.

Man, you could have put the Dark tag on this story and had Celestia write a very different reply. :rainbowderp:
(also that would fix your plot hole.)

Excellent one shot bud, as usual.

6366282 I guess I could do that, but there always the personal issue of "I hate unhappy endings".

Sweet Celestia's burning sun plot, this is awesome. I don't know why she ignored the letters, though. Her son died. That should've been enough for her to come.

By the way, the ending looks similar to Dear Princess Celestia. Maybe it's just me, though.

6366402 I haven't read DPC yet. I was more worried about how similar it was to "Dear Woona" by IWuvWoona.

Bit late there Celly, what a nice benevolent ruler you are. :ajbemused:

I really liked this. But Celestia not replying for 3 months to suddenly change her mind doesn't fit. She knew from the beginning that Chrysalis is willing to surrender. don't take me wrong I liked it, I like Chrysalis that puts changelings before herself. But I can't have a plot hole in story I like, I need to fix it. Easiest fix is that I change Celestia's reply but I dont like sad ends. I need something better. Letters in Equestria travel by dragon fire dragons are generally jerks ... I've got it. Dragons want gems under changeling hive but being greedy jerks they don't want to trade so they are intercepting letters and only couple last ones get trough. Yeah, thats what I am going with. I can now like this story with clear conscience.
(Completely off topic: do you think that ponies consider plot hole a swear word?)

Sequel? Otherwise I loved it.

6367501 Whether or not I take this anywhere is an idea in the works. :twilightsheepish:

Well I liked it. Plot holes and all.

Well... Considering it all goes on in a fictional world, it could either end with Chrysalis' death and extinction of her kind... Or a kickass revenge story :raritywink:

Go away. That's all you changed? COPY AND PASTE, THEN CHANGE TWO WORDS!?!?!?!?! lazy bum. Jk lol XD

6369443 he never said to rip us off. XD you said I wasn't very good! Derp. You know I don't mean it right?

6369452 Yes, I know you're just joking. Everyone is aware of the risk of death when they insult me.

6369443

Thank you for taking heed of our suggestion senpai we are honored and humbled. And honestly we like this ending better.
