    Got this idea to make a collection of short little chapters chronicling random events in Twilight and Trixie's relationship just for kicks, so here they are!

    Will be updated randomly whenever I come up with a new situation for these two. Idea is mostly inspired by the tons of awesome fanart made for this pairing.

    Cover image is by the wonderful PixelKitties. If you have not checked out this girls amazing art and your a brony, well your doing it wrong! Just google PixelKitties and Deviantart.

    Interesting concept, writing about snippets of an existing relationship rather than most ship fics I've read where it talks about them getting into the relationship first.  There were some grammatical errors, such as mistaking Your and You're early on.  But over-all I rather enjoyed it.  :pinkiehappy:

    The idea gives me ideas for fics myself, and I certainly look forward to updates, when they come out.

    As much as you allude to it will this ever get cloppy? (I hope so, there isn't much in the way of well written Twixie clop)

    The last 3 slots on the feature box are for stories that have updated and have enough views/likes to be featured, but have already been, or its been to long since the story was originally posted. It's basically to showcase popular older fics, so everytime you update this story it will pop up on there.

    Oh cool, thanks for the explanation.

    As for the clop I'm sorry to dissapoint but I won't be going that far. I'm not comfortable with it and I feel even Horn Sensitivity was straying further into Rule 34 than I'd like :derpyderp2: I doubt I'd be able to write it well anyway as I haven't read erotic novels before as its not my thing! I believe alluding to it is more pleasing anyway as the reader can use thier own imagination :twilightblush:

    Reply 

    Mmm, I have to admit, the quality on this one seems to have suffered a bit. Felt like you weren't really into it when you wrote it - maybe you were rushed?

    It's nothing I can show you concrete examples of, it's just a general feeling. I actually paused and checked if you'd had a guest author write it or something like that, it doesn't feel like you.

    >>1252902 The problems aren't in the spelling, but the grammar and style. Read through it a few more times, maybe out loud, and you'll find that it really doesn't flow as well as the other shorts.

    Hmm that's unfortunate. I don't think I put any less effort into this than the other shorts, but I reckon I'm getting too impatient and just writing for the sake of it. Think I'll take a break for a while and come back to it when I'm more interested.

    Yeah, you should really have someone read over your stories before submitting them. There were a lot of grammar errors in this one, more so than the other chapters.

    Reply 

    I actually really like how... human you made them in this chapter. Their conflicting emotions and eventual realizations were incredibly realistic. But as it's been pointed out before, I found myself being pretty much consistently distracted by the grammatical errors. Do you have a proofreader on your side? If not, there's a possibility that I might be able to help you out. If you already have one... get him to read this over again. But like I said, amazing story. You've got talent, you just need a little refinement around the edges.

    Thanks, at least I managed to get the emotions across. I do have a proof reader but I never had him look at these shorts because well ... they were just short little things I threw out now and then! I think the problem with this as I mentioned already was impatience, writing for the sake of writing and not taking my time with it. I'm going to take a break from it for a while and I'll probably return with a fresher mind.

    As for helping me, I don't know if you read my first chapter of ties that bind but I will be getting back to that, and I'd really appreciate help on that story. Ill contact you with drafts of that one if your interested whenever I get back to it!

    I like little glimpses into the characters' everyday lives, and these shorts certainly fit the bill. Quick and very enjoyable without resorting to clop or overdone drama. Throw these through a proofreader for grammar and other minor technical issues and you're good to go.

    "Twilight, you got a letter from you're school back in Canterlot!"


    yeah, so I expect that the reason everyone is bashing the grammar is less about it being really objectively bad and more about how it seems bad in comparison to your other stuff, tbh

    Confused by this comment. I see the error in that sentence now ... are you being honest are sarcastic here I can't tell ...

    >>1255198

    I think he's being honest. That error's not the worst in the world, but it is a silly one that highlights the 'rush' feel of the piece - or as you state, the 'writing for the sake of writing' feel, which could just as likely be the culprit.

    It's not just the error though, the voices feel stilted in places, and a lot of the thought flow feels jarring. Like, another example:

    "Oh, could you read it out for me? I'm a little busy- oh not there Trixie!" Twilight responded without turning to Spike, organising a mass of various books with her magic. Trixie was also 'helping' which meant she was throwing the books on to random shelves, which Twilight had to then organise afterwards.

    The pacing feels distinctly off on the last sentence, less like weaving a story and more like, well, writing for children honestly. You're usually subtler than that, I feel. I dunno, trying to explain it is hard. It's all vague stuff about feels and pacing and flow that I can't really quantify properly. 6_9

    sorry, I meant what I said honestly, but could have been more clear to be sure. That particular sentence wasn't even what prompted my comment. The entire piece here just feels a tad off from the rest of your work. And it isn't even that it's BAD, its just not what we're used to

    One of my current MLP fanfic projects involves Trixie, as odd as that sounds considering I'm not too fond of the character myself. I did a Google Images search so I could have a decent reference picture to use for the fanfic regarding her magic color, etc, although most of the results were Twilight/Trixie shipping. Among said results was that picture you used with the "Blackjack and Hookers", said it was linked here. So out of humored interest, I came across this fanfic and read on once I found the first story to be likeable.

    Odd how you weren't linked straight to the artist who actually drew it :rainbowwild: google is strange at times! That's interesting though, the story gets a couple hits every day and I always wonder how ppl come across it.

    What exactly did you search for?

    Also what's your project? I love Trixie and am interested in most things involving her!

    Just pictures of Trixie in general to draw reference upon since I didn't feel like screenshooting a YouTube posting of the episode she's in and I only saw said episode once due to it not being a favorite. The results were quite numerous and included stuff like the art piece. Knowing Google, the actual artista's work probably showed up later down the list.
