My name is Dr. John Trotson, and this is an account of the mysteries and tales that surrounded the deeds of my most faithful friend Sherclop Pones - one of Equestria's most brilliant minds. I do not doubt for an instant that my writings are anything but amateurish - but in any case, please feel free to peruse the book, and dabble in the selection of the fantastic tales that surrounded our lives in the first year of our acquaintance.

Okaaaaayyyy, let's do this.
First of all I wish to say that I could kiss you for transporting my favourite "old-timey" stories to Equestria. You did a really, REALLY good job in nailing the writing and "Clopson"s character. Now that the praise is out of the way, I must tell you I noticed some minor mistakes such as incomplete sentences:
"Still somewhat bemused by his actions, I followed him back over to his table, where he dived back into his work with all the vigour of a diamond dog chasing a jewel. Upon the" here, you cut off after "the" and go on with Clopsons dialogue. Other than that, I did not notice any glaring mistakes and am really, really glad you did write this new take on my favourite stories. I am truely looking forward to seeing the way you transfer the well-known stories over to Equestria and I believe I will have a great deal of fun finding out which is which while reading.
Enjoy your well-deserved 5 stars.
Now hit the keyboard, I wish to read more of this!
And lo, not even the classics are safe.
Oh well, you have my attention. I'm a big fan of Sherlock Holmes.
♫♥I look forward to reading what happens next in your story♥♪

I am totally going to go over everything I write with a magnifying glass because I am horridly fucking OCD about typos.
Self-induced typo nazism! GO!
P.S. Thank you for your praise

Nothing is safe from pone
Was thinking "Fetlock" would be a better first name...
As before, very well written and throughly planned out. I did not notice a single logical fallacy or grammatical error. My compliments on this, I will make sure to keep reading.
Also, I can't wait to see Raritys reaction. "THIS IS THE WORST. POSSIBLE. THING!"
Talk about eye candy
There are no words.
Okay, actually there are a few. Here goes.
You are a gentlecolt and a scholar. This story is pretty much perfect so far, and I do not mean to exaggerate at all. I've had the pleasure of reading Sherlock Holmes in the past, and I absolutely loved them. Coming into this fic, I expected that I would be forced to criticize not only the unfaithfulness to the writing style but also the fact that there was no possible way that Holmes and Watson could fit into the ponyverse.
I have been proven wrong.
Anxiously awaiting the next update!
I swear I'll get on with the mystery now :P
Just read everything you have uploaded so far.
I love it. It is wonderful and you are a wonderful person for writing this.
i like how you write fluttershy. Shy, yes, but not overly so as some writers tend to do.
It is very close to both sides of the fusion, which is good work. Your writing is a good Doyle pastisch, which takes both skill and effort.
41238
I'm not gonna lie - I did have to google what pastisch meant, but thank you :)
Very nice. You did a great job with the characters, as usual. I am intruiged as to who the thief might be, in a hilarious twist it could even be Twilight. Magic, light build...
Anyway, I am looking forward to more, also as usual. Now for the new episode...
This is pretty good! I can't wait to read more! I have a question and a minor error I found.
1.I am a Twilight Sparkle Fan-Colt and I saw Twilight in the characters and I was wondering, what chapter does she appear in?
The minor error I found was this "“That sounds wonderful! But first, my friend –” and she turned to me at this point – “Mr. Sherclop Pones, meet Dr. Watson.”
41942
Whoops!... Freudian slip from studying too much sherlock holmes.
To answer your question, Twilight will appear in the next couple of chapters.
thank you!
Amazing as always! I found one minor mistake
1.“I doubt it,” said Clopson, and I noticed that he had resumed his reflective look of concentration.Isn't Pones talking and not Clopson? Since it's in First person and Clopson is the main character.
And so we come close to the end... yet still exciting.
Take all my stars.
ALL of them.
There is nothing I can say that adequately sums up the sheer quality of this writing.
BLOODY BRILLIANT! 5/5 if not better.
Absolutely brilliant.
As a fan of Sherlock Holmes, I approve of this crossover AU.
I honestly found this to be quite enjoyable and parting with you 5 stars... 5 well earned stars...
I do believe that i have not read a story quite as well written as yours...
Very, VERY good. Loved it!
I am pretty sure you loved the Robert Downey Jr. movie... I did so too ;)
The new one will be out over here on the 22nd of december, I will make sure to see it.
Aaaanyway your story: Extremely well written, great characterisation and, as usual, neraly flawless grammar. I sincerely hope you will write more. This is one of the few fics I believe deserve more attention than they get.

I'm not done writing yet, either.
In my opinions i believe that this is one of the best fictions here.
5/5
Incredibly good. Please keep it up and delight us with further adventures of the pair.
You truly know how to write in a compelling, interesting manner. Awesome!
At first i was like
while i was
and
while
WOW that was a good one.
IN-CRE-DI-BLE!
This is fantastic. I can't help but grin like an idiot to your story. Beautiful!
63749
that's the goal
grinning like an idiot is what this show does to me, so that's about the best level of praise i can get
I cannot express in words how AWESOME this fic is...my mouth aches..
I truly hope you intend to write a different mystery...
Well. I was beginning to think the story was over, but I am incredibly glad to see that isn't the case. Fantastic chapter, as usual, and it's great to see a Rainbow Dash arc. Rainbow pony is best pony, after all.
Just a minor nitpick - I don't know if you intend to make the seasons different in Equestria, but normally, November 29th is not winter. Winter starts (ohey, today), on December the 21st.
Still.
Keep it up!

whoops
had wikipedia page open for autumn and derped a little
Also; if you have read the original Sherlock holmes books, you'll see they're a collection of 12 or 13 short stories per book, so expect as much
Nice to see you continue. I like that Pones continues to get to show off his deduction, and that you describe this in a believable fashion.
I like how you write Rainbow Dash in this. Makes it believable, if that is the right word.

You have a fixation on the word 'believable'.
is that good, or bad? :)
94699
I am a rather dull person, it takes a lot to make me believe in an imaginary situation. ;) If someone manages that, they are skilled writers.
Another!
Perfect as always writer!
keep it up!
Clopson vs trained assassin
oh wow, this i gotta see...
Perfect chapter, Again! keep up the good work!
I have had to change the name of our daring protagonist.
I hope that doesn't mess with your heads too much - admittedly I should have thought of it before, but it didn't occur to me that John Trotson is a much better name
Thank you for dealing with my OCD lol
Very very nice. Just one note: "trains to Cloudsdale"? Isn't Cloudsdale that pegasus city up in the clouds? ...Trains?
Cliffhangers. Can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em.
Awaiting the next chapter very, very anxiously.
Oh god, why can't I fix all these typos?
this is why I don't write on three hours rest
103574
Oh. I think I know what you're referring too - the conversation with Mrs. Emerald, correct?
Good spot. I had at one point contemplated treating Cloudsdale as a city on the ground, so no, there would not be trains there.
fixed, thank you
*ahem* I have some speculations i would like to air...
I don't think i trust the coach... His eagerness to allow Clopson to obtain all his weaponry makes it seems as if it is a ploy to get Clopson to trust him. And let his guard down. Another point that causes me to be wary is the fact that he is carrying weapons in the first place. The gun however does not point to him being the killer as the previous murders were all by knife. The 'rapier' though is concealed which would allow the coach to enter the house use the knife and then retract it returning it to its disguise as a stick which no pony would question him having, or question its contents. I also believe that He maybe using the "I hired you to prove Dash's innocence, therefore i can't be the killer" ploy. Thereby giving the illusion that he can't be the killer because he hired the detective to prove dash's innocence. However... The coach had not been noted that the detectives are now looking for the killer, which wasn't his primary goal for them. So would as he just was, get caught off guard walking into Spitfire's house with the weapons. Which he would not have brought had he known Clopson would be there. And one more interesting point i would like to point out is the fact that we do not know the platoon of which the 'colonel' is. Which leaves suspicion to weather he is a part of platoon 3 or not. And the fact that there was no mention of Spitfire's or that there maybe a similarity in the platoon they served does not shed light on this .But a motive for these murders i do not see. However this is all speculation, and no concrete proof so i'lll say it myself. There is a great chance i am completely wrong.
I eagerly await the next chapter, and i hope you give no reason to unmask the killer just yet.
Huh, very good one. Finally got around to reading it and you CAN colour me impressed. I daresay this storyarc is even better than the last. Truely interesting backstory and well fleshed-out characters make this one of the best ongoing stories on this site and I can't wait to read.
As for the story itself: I think Clopson is about to acquire his trademark sword-stick.
Sorry about not having updated in a while. Work's been keeping me on the go, and I have been having an extremely hungover new year, as well as writing various bits and pieces for /co/.
Hope to be posting a new fic tomorrow when I get home from work - I've got a new story I'd really like to try out.
YAY! i was wrong! WOHOOO!
Ahem. Great writing as always writer. can't wait to read your other fic.
Awkward moment at end was awkward...
