Someday the Princess of Friendship will be able to handle all of Equestria's foreign relations, but until then, we will rely on our proud corps of trained diplomats, and of course their able guards, ready for anything. Lightning Dust is not ready.
Sapphire Shores is haunted by her mother's whispering voice. Her dreams are filled with letter after letter, all asking the same question. It isn't until the mail catches up to her tour that she learns why.
Tragedy strikes Sweet Apple Acres as two of Applejack's closest family members pass on. She receives some money in the mail and decides to visit Canterlot. Along the way encountering Fancy Pants, Sapphire Shores and other colorful characters.
This could have turned out to be an excellent story had the idea been executed better. The character needed more fleshing out. At the beginning, you pull your readers a bit to what seemed to be a story deeper than what's in the description but then sped up the pace of the story from the middle to the end. You also ended it on a cliffhanger that unfortunately is undesirable since the story is sped up. Maybe taking some time really, really fleshed out the character would have made it a really telling piece for theme of the story.
I do get the theme of course, but I feel the story had so much more potential than what was let on in the read.^^
7660929 - Everything you said is correct, but I do not have the skill or the knowledge to fix those problems.
I have come to the conclusion that I am not a writer.
I originally wrote this for a young person who had been bullied. I already told her to seek help. But I wanted to say something more than just giving a sympathic message.
I posted this story to help some people... and find out how fimfiction readers feel about my stories.
I'm ok about this. I'm good at other things. I am happy that I found this website.

Lone Unicorn Writer: You make good points. This story grew from sending a message of hope and comfort for a young girl who was suffering from bulling. I did not go into detail about the principle character. I wanted some readers (who have suffered) a character to identify with. In the near further I will review this story... and make it better (hopefully).
What followup?

The description has errors.
it should be
After being bullied a young filly runs away… only to face mortal danger. She is saved by mysterious pony.
7668634 - done.
Thank you for the post.
My grammar is atrocious. But I can't wait for a proofreader - I need a writing drug-fix.
7660707 - I moved the second part of chapter 1 to chapter 2… where it should be. I apologize for the confusion this may have caused you.
