Just a guy who likes to write. I let my stories go where they please. I'm just their instrument of creation.

Starlight Glimmer knows first hoof just how horrible bottling up one's emotions can be. When she finds a distressed Spike while wandering the Castle of Friendship one night, she has to help...somehow. Though how successful could one insecure ex villain be, and could she make a friend along the way?

That was a good read. Pretty cute it was.

7098319 Thank you. It was just a little idea I had when I started and then it became a 6000 word story. Funny how that happens. For the forseeable future I shall be continuing this trend until I run out of ideas basically. Slice of Life Oneshots, focusing on Starlight for now given what I could glean from the season 5 2-parters and the Season 6 opener. Regardless, thank you very much for the kind comment.

I really enjoyed that story. Will you do future Spike and Starlight stories?

7110883 I have several Starlight stories planned. Next one should be up hopefully by Monday. Not all of them involve just her and Spike. Though I would not be surprised if he ends up showing up rather often. My stories tend to take some life of their own and he just works so well with her. The premise is simply little Slice of Life stories involving Starlight, but where they go even I won't really know. I have an idea, a beginning and an end goal but the journey is the fun part. Thank you for the kind comment and I am very glad you enjoyed.

7110911 Then I look forward to reading them.

hey man, just got finished reading your story, it was an interesting read, nice slice of life story.

wouldn't mind seeing more little stories about starlight as the season goes on, make it a "series" of sorts.
and hey maybe you could write little stories about what she is doing with characters while she ISN'T in an episode of season 6,?

a kinda of "fill the blank" stories, for example, while rarity and pinkie are in manehattan, in episode 3 maybe write a story about starlight and what she is doing while they are away?

like maybe getting to know fluttershy or applejack, or heck just have her fix a problem in ponyville like twilight had to in the earlier seasons?

anyway just food for though thanks again for the link to the story.

7124096 That's pretty much what I'm doing. Every week I'll be writing a new Starlight fiction about something or another. I already finished one and am in the process of writing a third. The first two, including this one are kind of Starlight settling in stories. The third one is kind of a fun story with Sunset Shimmer (Reformed overpowered unicorns unite) to get away from the weight of the second one, which turned out much more emotional than I intended. Afterwards I do want to go into more adventures with Starlight and the rest of the mane 6 but for now I do think most of her interaction would be with Twilight and Spike, though Pinkie Pie features prominently in my latest upload. When we see more of her in the season I will expand with the new information.

Though I like the idea about writing about what she was doing while other episodes went on I have a few ideas I want to get out first. Heh, I dunno. I really like the idea of a weekly project with what Starlight is doing when the episodes aren't featuring her. I'll give it some thought and maybe shift some of my ideas around so that the less episodic ones fall on weeks where she does star in an episode. Definitely food for thought indeed.

Thanks for reading and I am very glad you enjoyed. Keep up the good work of your own.

I loved Starlight's characterization in this! Great balance with all the "timid and recovering from being a villain" stuff with her old forceful personality. Great work! :scootangel:

7277341 Thank you very much. I am glad you enjoyed. Characterization is one thing I pride myself on so I'm glad to know that it isn't totally unwarranted. I am glad you enjoyed and thank you for the kind comment. It's comments like this that allowed me to pass the 50,000 word mark on this character alone, with a lot more to come. I love Starlight, she's so fascinating to me. A good blend of a semi blank slate but with a strongly established set of characteristics already. Plus she's adorable as can be in the show as well.

Star spike Star Spike!

7647160 Had to do it after their stellar showing in the Season opener.

Nice. I want to know about the hairstyle change to. Good job!:moustache:

That cover picture is a perfect fit. Starlight trying on a new dress at Carousel...

8082723 Thanks, I thought it fit pretty well. Suits the topic and characters actually in the story. Thanks for the comment, have a nice day!

8085481 You might also be interested in this story about her new hairstyle. Had to be weighing on her mind, too.

how do I go about helping a dragon with his problems about having a crush on a pony?

She could brainwash Rarity... A little bit. :rainbowlaugh:
Starlight + Spike pair is really cute (both in the episode and here).
