Thanks, Mono ^u^
Even though I didn't review it during the Writeoff, I enjoyed it and ranked it above the middle (16th if you really wish to know).
The expanded version though is better. Having multiple POVs works really well to portray how she is perceived by other ponies. The fact that it starts with bad portraits and ends with good portraits of Pinkie makes the whole story sweet and somehow heartwarming. And indeed, who could be the better pony to say good things about Pinkie than her sister Maud? All her lines are spot-on and I really love this two
So all in all, a great story and a nice perspective on the pink pony.

Thank you for the review!
Though I didn't review Solar Flare, I enjoyed it and I look forward to seeing it posted on Fimfic if you choose to do so :o
Heh. I see what you did there.
I kind of miss the "try to figure out who's talking" game the original version had, but it's still great.

:v
Yeah, but even I kinda prefer knowing something basic like who's speaking over a puzzle like that :p
Interesting story but I feel like I am missing a lot of background info. which could be actually the point? Still had to read the story twice to have a better understanding.
Anyway I like the way you give an insight into Pinkie's life by using only dialog from the ponies being asked by the silent protagonist. It's really an interesting story.

The story was supposed to fill in the blank that the show left between Pinkie growing up on the rock farm and moving to Ponyville. That she ran away was the point.
This format was kind of an experiment, so I'm sorry if it made the point less clear :x I'm glad you thought it was interesting, at least. Thanks for giving it a try! :>
8179855 The main point is clear. Pinkie's backstory and I liked it.
I just wasn't sure if I was supposed to know the characters who were talking.
8179885
Ohhhh I see. The characters in first two scenes (Cornstalk, Chaff, Flat Loaf, and Pita) are OCs made up by me. The other characters are Pinkie's canon family.
A nice short story. I don't know if it was intentional or not, but I couldn't help but think: "good for Pinkie, getting the hell out of that place" while reading *shrug*.
Not bad. Not bad at all. There's some issues with the Elizabethan English, but I can overlook that for a good little story that does everything it needs to.
You've earned an upvote from me.
8180696
Yeah, I didn't quite paint the area in and around the rock farm as favourable, per se, lol, but certainly not a place she fits in to.
8180766
Yeah, I, uh... didn't look too far into the Ye Olde English for the dialogue... I feel like I have a decent handle on "thee" vs "thou", at least, but I'm not surprised there are issues lol
Still, thanks for reading and thanks for the upvote :>
The big problem is that the Pie parents don't speak Elizabethan. They speak Quaker Plain Speech, which does not use "thou" at all, but uses "thee" as if in third person for all singular subjects and "you" for plural subjects (addressing a group). Plain Speech uses "thy" as the singular possessive pronoun, but doesn't use archaic conjugations of "to be". So, weirdly enough, "thee is a good friend" would be correct.
A very interesting format and conceit. I especially liked the other Pies' takes on Pinkie. You captured all of them well, especially Maud. Thank you for this.
Everyone's paired up except Maud.
Wait, so those two at the start weren't Sonata and Aria? Damn.
Not gonna lie, I think I preferred the unattributed dialogue of the previous version to the tagged-up version here, although I think the published version is still an overall improvement. Conglaturation on all your success.
This is so sad, and it hits home right now. I'm in a very rough spot and am seriously considering trying to get a diagnosis to see if I have Asperger's or something else on "the spectrum." I'm glad though that Pinkie is happy in her world. I wish I were happy in mine.
Manna and Quail . . . I didn't catch that, and I read Biblical Hebrew. I am ashamed!
8186133
Huh, interesting. You're one of the few who didn't mind the lack of attribution, then.
Still, I'm glad to hear you think it's better overall.
8187384
I'm sorry to hear that and I hope you find happiness eventually :o
8188286 What can I say, fam? I'm a rebel.
Headcanon has been loaded with the new FrontSevens shells, sir.
Very good, corporal. Bombard all our future writings related to the Pies.
Of course, sir.

"Sir! We're under fire from the bay!"
"What's the situation ensign!"
"Confetti everywhere sir! And the tower just got blasted by some new pink shells, extra sugar and icing, no spice!"
"What In the world is shooting at us!?"
"There sir! On the horizon just over the reef! Do you see it?"
"Bloody hell! They've got a Friendship!"
