you know how there are Crack fics these are more like Speed-fics I read a paragraph and had to stop and comprehend what ive read cause it goes by so fast. its just point to point then done.
Unfortunately not the best way to right a story.

I meant for it to have a fast pace, it was a snowball fight after all.

But thanks for the criticism, was there something you liked or disliked in particular?

Since you reviewed my story, I'll do the same.

All in all, the story was rushed. You tried to fit in comedy and romance all in 1k words, something that you didn't really quite accomplish. The story didn't read like a comedy, nor did it read like a romance fic, so I was left feeling a little cheated. I suggest removing the Random, Comedy, and Romance tags due to this reason. Slice of Life is perfect for this little oneshot. While there might be a couple of funny moments in the story, that doesn't mean you can slap on the Comedy tag; same with the Romance tag. Don't ever use the Random tag, as people avoid stories that use that like the plague.

There was a lot of telling, misspellings, and an incomplete sentence or two. In the beginning, you just tell us that Twilight is evil, and then move on to the next sentence without really explaining why she was evil. I highly suggest that you read up on the writing guide here on fimfiction, found here: http://www.fimfiction.net/writing-guide#Dialogue, as this little part would help your writing out in a significant way.

Also, finding a cover art would help your story get a lot more views, as I've found that people will just ignore stories without art. So long as you ask and/or give credit to whoever's art you use, you can use whatever you want.

As for your description, you tell us the entire story, so what would make a reader want to read it? You have to bait the reader; catch their eye to make them want to read the story, you know?

I'll help you out with the first paragraph.

The CMC and Rumble where behind a snow wall.

Unless it's in dialogue, never abbreviate anything. Instead of where, you should use were.

Protecting themselves from an onslaught of snowballs thrown by the evil snowball queen, Twilight Sparkle.

This is an incomplete sentence.

She was corrupted and turned evil and now she wants to pelt everyone in ponyville with snow.

In the first half of this sentence, you wrote in past tense, which is what you should be writing in, but then you switch to the present tense in the second half of the sentence. Never do that. Ever. You also did not capitalize the P in Ponyville. Locations always have the first letter of their name capitalized.

So with that in mind, your first paragraph should look something like this, and feel free to use it.

The Cutie Mark Crusaders and Rumble were hunched behind their snow fort. They'd been in battle with Princess Twilight for what seemed like hours now, and their snowball supplies were running dangerously low. Snowball after snowball flew over their heads as Twilight, who had somehow turned evil, threw countless numbers of them incessantly, almost never giving them a chance to return fire. Twilight's eyes had turned a dark purple, glowing brightly in the light. As a pair of ponies walked past behind her, Twilight whipped around and pelted them with snowballs until they ran away screaming.

Thank you for the review and your criticism. Thank you, I will use your first paragraph.

Might I ask, was there any particular part or area of the story that you liked or disliked the most?

7746701 Nothing really stood out to me in either regard.

One last question, was your overall experience with the fiction: positive, negative or, neutral?

Alright, this was pretty darn cute, and you got a chuckle out of me when Luna and Celly showed up and pelted Twilight, but I really wished you had taken the time to flesh this out. The POV was all over the place and as a result we got absolutely zero insight on anyone's emotions. Which sucks because this should have been a big emotional moment for Scoots and Rumble.

The two things that really drove me nuts are:

1. You capitalized words after dialogue.

"Incoming!" Shouted Apple Bloom as another wave of snowballs pelted there position.

This is all one sentence. The exclamation mark shows us that she is shouting, it doesn't end the sentence. So *shouted* should be lowercase. If the sentence would have been: *"Incoming!" The four foals covered their heads as another wave of snowballs pelted their position.*, then that would be two separate sentences and *The* should be capitalized. I hope this makes sense to you.

2. You use the word *there* a lot, and it is wrong about 90% of the time. This is exceptionally frustrating to me because all you have to do is slow down and read over it again to catch these type of mistakes.

So, overall I found it cute, but wished it was longer. I'll now give it a like for effort, and move on to other things. Happy reading/writing!:twilightsmile:

7753835 Thank you for the criticism. :raritystarry:

I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed it.:twilightblush:

I will edit it a bit to fix the issues you addressed.

One other thing I forgot to mention. I agree with The Abyss, you need cover art. Even something as simple as a pic of some snowballs. Anything to make it stand out. It really does help readers find you.

I will try to find some, but the search is not going well right now. :fluttercry:

Words cannot explain how much i love this!
