I melt into the people I surround myself with. Don’t know who I am so I create a myth of someone who I disguise look in my eyes you’ll see no one.

Quill is a mare with two adopted parents and a dream of being the best author in Equestria. She falls in love, makes friends, and get's into a lot of trouble. Though Quill is a very skilled writer and speaker, she can't seem to get her story straight in times of trouble.

I must say, I enjoyed this story. It had a stereotype-breaking character and a common story line, playing them off together in something brand new. I can honestly say that I'll look forward to the chapters to come. :twilightsmile:

7899539 Same. Like I'm floating on a river made of words, it just take me wherever the author want.
7897598 I will point them all now ! ......... Or not. I will look after this story, I like it too much :twilightsheepish:. Quill is also my evasion tool, so I have to add it to my favourites.

I'm glad you're enjoying it, and as for breaking stereotypes, habits die hard as they say, and I'm not quite done with the crime with Quill. It might be a spoiler, but you'll see what I mean when it happens. And as for this story being an evasion tool, thanks! I think it would help a lot of people... ponies??? I don't know... to see what is better for them out there.

The world is a mysterious place. :derpytongue2:

I can't wait to read about the GTA V bank heists she's got planned! :pinkiecrazy:

She falls in love

This makes me curious as to why there's no Romance tag.

It's not very important to the over all story. I didn't find it necessary to include it if it only has a small role to play in an over arching story about a struggling writer with a knack for getting in trouble with the law. And even though it doesn't look like it, she does struggle with her work. THAT is a bigger part of the story.

So, she now has parent figures. Aw! :rainbowkiss:

I hope she finds her way in life.

Also, you said in a previous comment that romance wasn't a big part of the story. Is it not a big part yet or will we not see any Quill-love in this story? I wanna see her happy with somepony at some point! And then watch that love get snatched right out of her hooves by the cold hand of Death.

Also, if this isn't a story about romance, what is it a story about? These chapters seem to be brief synopses of her foalhood, but they don't seem to focus on any one event. My advice? Slow down a little. Unless there's something big coming--say, her getting her first job and struggling to keep it with her past transgressions--then it's fine to skim over these things; but if this is what the story's going to be like, it's going to go a lot faster than you'd probably like.

I know I'd love to read more about her new family and their struggles with a new child and her struggles with a new home!

Overall? Can't wait for the next chapter. :raritywink:

Oh, Awkward... you want to learn more about her family life... I see, well... you'll just have to see what happens! And as for the inconsistencies in the story telling, have you ever read an autobiography? Or even just I biography? They only focus on the more important parts. The parts that shaped the person into being who they are now, rather than explaining her entire life and putting detail into every little thing. That is what I'm trying to emulate in this story. Quill is writing this at age 29, and going over her life thus far. Only dealing with her mentor, her friends, and her parents. And the short little snippets of important things she feels has impacted her life such as losing her best friend, discrimination, fame, and eventually love. Soon you will see that part be more of a focus, but not the main point. The point is Quill's life. Who she meets, and what she takes away from an experience. And you'll finally see her life calm down. She'll move to Ponyville, befriend the Main Six, Meet Lyra and Bonbon, and reconnect with an old friend. But this being an autobiography, you'll have to read this with the knowledge that it will be, at times, all over the place.

I am thrilled that you are enjoying it! I love the feed back :twilightsmile:

Alright! Great to know! :pinkiehappy:

I seriously can't wait to read all of that--especially befriending the Mane 6! I mean, Pinkie's a shoe-in, but the rest of them might be slightly more difficult. Maybe she buys all her clothes from Rarity and her apples (and other crops, if AJ grows more than just the best fruit ever) from Applejack! Since she's an author, she'll probably go to the library often, bringing her and Twilight together, and... actually, now that i think about it, there's not much that would happen between her, Rainbow and Flutters... unless she has a love for animals of some capacity, and suddenly becomes athletic... which I really hope doesn't happen...

maybe they meet through the other Mane 6. Like, Rarity's Spa Day with Flutters and Rainbow and AJ's constant head-butting.

Well, however it turns out, I can't wait to see what happens. :twilightsmile:

You have really funny ideas, I really love your enthusiasm about this! But, you see, when you are right about Pinkie and Quill being super close, as well as Twilight and Rarity, Apple Jack is going to be the one who she doesn't get along with. You see, though she isn't Athletic herself, Quill is a sports fan. And as for animals, Quill would be a monster if she didn't like them. But Quill actually has little in common with Apple Jack. You see, though she loves Sugar and Chocolate, she isn't very family oriented, and she barely knows the definition of hard work because even when working at the diner she never felt as though she was actually working. Sure Apple Jack and Quill are both orphans, but neither of them vocalize that fact so they never get very close as a result. But you'll see more of what I mean when we get to it.

You make me smile! I love seeing your comments and suggestions! Everything will make sense in the coming chapters, just be patient, okay?

7910463
Alright, friend. :ajsmug:

May your quill fly swiftly over your parchment. :raritywink:

WOO HOO, NEW CHAPTER!!! :pinkiehappy:

*reads*

Oh, relationship issues... I know that feel...

*reads more*

So she's dating Doughnut Joe... but, isn't he older? I mean, I though he looked older in the show, when compared to the mane 6, and I've been under the impression they'll be the same-ish age...

*reads even more*

Wait... is she...

*Quickly reads even more*

She is!! Oh, man, gay ponies are best ponies... *Sighs whistfully* Now for the rest of the chapter!

*Reads more at normal speed*

Oh... woah, that's heavy.... The death of a parent is never an easy thing. I can't--or, rather, don't want to--imagine what she must be going through...

*Reads more, sadly*

And... now we're in Ponyville. I can't wait until her "Welcome to Ponyville" party. That should cheer her up a little.


Great chapter! I look forward to what comes next and how she deals with the loss of her mom.

P.S. That coming out scene was perfect. :raritywink: I think you got the reactions perfect for the supportive parents.

7920453

Haha!!! Thank you so much! I really appreciate it!! Love your reaction too! Very funny,very informative!! :pinkiehappy: And you'll see what I have in store for Ponyville. Taking a few of your ideas and adding my own!! I think you'll like it saying as you loved this one!!! :twilightsmile: Who knows, maybe she'll like it there? Only time will tell and I feel like there is no time like the present! The next chapter will be done in a few days, you'll just have to be patient :raritywink:

7920635
And I will. :twilightsmile:

*Sits plot down and looks around the room*

So... what do you do for fun around here?

*Awkward silence ensues*

(Best image I could find depicting awkward silence. I'm sorry) (Ignore the words)

Subtle beginning, funny middle, and sad ending with a sprinkling of uplift. I liked it, but wished it was longer... I just wanna keep reading!:raritydespair:

7940063 Sorry, I couldn't figure out how to make it longer. In fact I added that last bit at the end because it was too short. I promise that this next chapter will be longer, but that means you're going to have to wait even longer. :applejackunsure:

7940141
I'll wait for however long the next chapter takes. I wanna know what happens next!

Quill sounds like a stallion's name to me. Why is that?

8004888 Not sure... But if you read the first chapter, you'll know that Quill is short for Quillian wich is a much more feminine name

A rough start, with the new characters and situations, but it gets better. I feel like a good portion of this could be explored a little more, but it's definitely entertaining. I wonder why Carrot Top didn't like Quill. If it wasn't her gayness, could it be something she wrote about? Perhaps her friends or family love her books, and she grew to hate them--and her by extension--because of their constant admiration towards Quill. The hint towards the Quill/Twilight ship was adorable, Spike needs to grow up and realize that Twi is her own mare, but I can understand how he doesn't want things to change--like most children do, when it comes to family. The letters were heartfelt and caring. I hope we hear more from Lilac soon. It would suck for Quill to grow lonely and try to make a move on an inebriated Twilight Sparkle, only for Lilac to walk in just as the two mares are getting into bed!

... :rainbowderp:

Next chapter, I dare you. :trixieshiftleft:

8014420 A lot will be explained in the next chapter.:derpytongue2: As for a Twilight/Quill ship, it was just them having wine together, nothing more. Yes, Lilac will be having a bigger role to play soon, but I have bigger plans that don't involve her when it comes to Quill aswell :pinkiecrazy: (What is Paffy thinking?? What is she planning??) You'll have to be patient!!

As for why Carrot Top hating Quill, I left that open ended for a reason. Remember, Quill doesn't know why Carrot Top hates her, so giving an explanation why, really defeats the purpose of saying that she still doesn't have an answer.

8014491
I know, I'm just wondering. :twilightblush:

I can't wait for the next chapter! Finish it quick!! :pinkiehappy:

I love your story!!! I think Quill and Lilac is so cute together, and I just want them to last forever!!! :raritystarry: I think my favorite character is definitely Velvet though. When are we going to see more of her?? :rainbowkiss:

8111936 I'm glad you like it!!

You'll see Velvet sooner than you think, don't you worry!

Another great chapter. To find out what our harrowing heroine encounters next, I wait with bated breath. :twilightsmile:
