A nice lesson to learn and one that's probably even more important given the rise of the Internet. It's easy to draw a crowd but it's one-hundred times harder to keep them.
Nice one!
How does Twilight know Trixie so well? Also as a performer popularity is more or less Trixie's life blood, if she isn't popular she isn't making money and she doesn't really have a purpose in life as her special talent is about being a stage magician.
>>Fionn I was basing this after Twilight and Trixie had become friends for a long time. As for Trixie and popularity, yeah, that's true. I guess I wasn't looking at the story through the concept of making money. Rather, I was looking at it through the concept of trying to become popular to get recognition. Thanks for pointing that out. Unfortunately, since it's so ingrained into the story, there's not much I can do about it right now. However, I'll do better in predicting these kinds of viewpoints in later stories.
7248074 I see, you should make it clearer how they know each other and that they have been friends for a long time since going by just the show Twilight hardly knows Trixie at all.
Meh...but, when you're a traveling show mare, or a stunt flier, popularity is, in fact, everything. If you're not popular, than you're act, or your aerial team, won't be. For instance, imagine if, all of a sudden, Rainbow Dash did something that made her unpopular. Ponies could start to boycott the Wonderbolts shows, leading to them kicking her out.
>>King of Kings As I said to Fionn, when I first wrote the story, that problem didn't occur to me at that time. Although I want to edit it to make the story better, that concept's so ingrained in the story that there's nothing that I can do to change it without changing the entire story, along with its message. Believe me, I would love to change it because I believe in improvement, but at this point there's nothing much that I can do about this particular problem in this story. Thank you for your advice, though. I do appreciate it.

Thank you. Glad it does.

Huh?

No, I guess I haven't.
I like that Trixie has learned to be humble and accept advice from her friends but, as has been said, popularity is the life of a performer. The added chapter does give an out to that, however: The new filly magician being inspired by Trixie and now her apprentice.

Yeah, some people in the comments section pointed that out, so I added the second section in to clarify. Glad you liked the story.
I do love the moral, but you're drama writing skills could improve some. Making well-crafted drama is very difficult, after all.

Yeah, still improving.
