    Twilight awakes from a minor magical accident to find herself dead. She believes she is doomed to wander Equestria for all eternity, that is until she discovered certain ponies could see lost souls like her, ponies like Princess Luna.

    This bodes interestingly. I'll keep my eye on it. On the other side of the page, did you mean for the response spoken by the mask to be a question? "Just a friendly soul?"

    This looks interesting. A few minor errors that need to be fixed, though.

    "Spike, DO you have any"

    Ponyville should be capitalized in "the most powerful unicorn in Ponyville.

    a few grammatical errors spread out across the chapter, that's very hard to avoid though, and it didn't interrupt the flow much.

    im guessing/hoping that you're going to explain what happened in details in the next chapter

    She could fight back, she was the most magical unicorn in ponyville, likely Equestria, she was the personal protege of Princess Celestia, she was the element of magic, the core of the elements of harmony, and she would not be beaten by this!

    that first sentence gives me the picture of twilight considering if you should fight back or not, like; "i guess i could fight back", which doesn't fit very well with the rest of the sentence

    Twilight stepped out onto a balcony, overlooking a maze of bookshelves,several.

    that part (underlined) isn't necessary and nor does it make sense.

    Twilight jumped about a foot in the air and turned around mid-air, to see a mask floating behind her. There was nothing particularly special about the mask, other than it was floating.

    “And who might you be?” Twilight inquired.

    she's just been in a giant box made of fire and brimstone, and now there's a mask, floating in the air behind her, and it's talking; and that's her reaction? she's very very calm for being twilight in this situation. it's not that much of an issue really, just a thought i had.

    Good work, this has potential. Great first attemt.:pinkiehappy: But it is some minor problems that are there. You need to hit the word as they say. Don't stop half away. Tell your story in a differente angle. As what the person (or in this case, ponies) feel like and ect. Use also metafores to increase the qvalety of the story. It will be in big help. And descripsens, a lot of it. And streamers...:pinkiehappy:

    Interesting concept. There are still some grammatical errors, reply to this comment or shoot me a PM and I'll round em up.

    Though I wonder why the mask would allow her spirit to remain in Equestria? Right now I'm thinking either it doesn't know that Twilight's soul is floating around, it has Twilight's long term interest(or at least not directly adversarial a la Orange morality) in some batshit insane plot, or it's too arrogant to care.

    "Twilight awakes from a minor magical accident to find herself dead. She believes she is doomed to wander Equestria for all eternity, that is until she discovered certain ponies could see lost souls like her..." Wow this definetly seems like something I would enjoy reading! "...ponies like Princess Luna" *Sees romance tag* Dang :fluttercry: I havnt read it yey but I can kinda see where this is going. The number of lesbian ship fics is too damn high! Just a personal pet peave of mine. It stinks cause I really like the overall premise. Although, mentioned earlier, I think minor accident is an understatement. Maybe a better phrasing would be fatal magical accident. However, when you said "awakes to find herself dead" I couldnt help but think "is she a zombie?" It seems interesting, but the wording of the first sentence of the description is kinda silly to me. Just me nit picking I guess. I think I will put this in my read later anyway.

    Oh? This should be interesting. I kind of like undead stories with the protagonist as a zombie/ghost/etc. Not too many good ones like that around.

    I wonder if she'll still be able to touch things or use magic as a ghost? She could give ponies quite a scare by moving stuff around.

    I hope it doesn't get too tragic with her friends and family mourning. God, it would be depressing if she were to attend he own funeral. I can imagine her ghost trying to comfort a crying Spike next to her grave... :fluttercry:

    This is not terrible. It's a unique and interesting premise, but the writing needs more practice. A lot of your descriptive lines don't mesh well with the story flow. Try to lead one thought into the next for a continual flow of thoughts. Also I think your portrayal of Spike was lackluster, he seems more of an accessory to what Twilight is doing than a character in his own right.

    Too Fast! Too Fast! Please slow down and develop the scenes more.

    Also, What was up with the lava room next to the laboratory? You could've just stuck Twilight in the lab and have her wonder around a bit until she came accross the floating mask, and it would've served the plot just as much. As some would call it, Big Lipped Alligator Moment. Unless you plan on bringing the hellfire room of fire up again later on.

    Good sir, your fic could stand to:

    a) Have a bit of a proof-read, saw a few typos

    b) Brush up on grammar rules

    c) Be a bit longer

    Nonetheless, I like the cut 'o' your jib with your summary, so almost for that alone, I'll be keeping an eye on this one.
