This will sound mostly negative, but I hope you take it in a constructive light.

The big thing for me was your dialogue. It felt very stilted, not remotely natural. That's perhaps the hardest thing about writing dialogue for Rarity. She has a very carefully wrought idiolect that is hard to get and very easy to cock up, which I feel you have...

It's... It's not even easy to say where you've gone wrong, it simply doesn't sound like Rarity, but someone who is impersonating Rarity but who lacks her attention to language (not to cast aspersions on you). This is one of those 'one knows it when one hears it' things...

If it helps, the early lines felt natural, but things got worse as you went on. Perhaps you paid a little less attention to dialogue as you concentrated more on events?

Which brings me on to events... Your story has events, but it doesn't have a true narrative. It reads as a list of events - an outline of the story you want to tell, not as a story complete unto itself (I understand that this is only chapter one).

You need to flesh things out much more.

Please take this criticism in the spirit in which it is meant

I quite liked it... but i feel as if your story doesn't shed enough light on the feelings of the characters. And that you could have spent a little more time giving a description of the surroundings.
i hope to see more!

WHERES PART FOUR DAMN IT!!:flutterrage::twilightangry2::trixieshiftleft:

Hmmm... as people are saying. Its a good story and all, but I am finding it lacking... Rarity doesn't seem to be herself and the talking is a bit... silted.

:heart: I see promise in you, my dear sir. :raritywink:

WHERES CHAPTER 5 STOP TAKING LONG FOOL!!:flutterrage:

I've slowly lost the motivation to continue this, and forgotten most of the ideas I had planned. However, if there are people who still strongly want to see this continue, I may start it up again.
