    Silver Quill's childhood crush was a simple, fleeting thing, although one that he didn't really understand. But when he finally meets the pony that interested him so many years ago, his normally calm and organized mind is thrown for a loop. Now he has to get his feelings under control and not make a complete fool of himself while trying his hardest to get rid of this cursed writers block that got him here in the first place. Easier said than done.

    First fic, constructive critisicm welcome.

    For some reason, a good portion of this chapter was cut out when I uploaded it. If you found the entrance of the exam to be confusing, rest assured that it makes much more sense now. I also corrected a few other various errors.

    You need to work on your grammar. One of your biggest problems so far is that you keep on forgetting to put quotation marks around dialogue.

    >>1183418 Thanks a bunch for the input. This is the first time in a long while that I've done creative writing just for the hell of it, as you can probably tell by the quality, so I'm not completely used to needing to use quotations. I looked through and fixed what errors I could find.

    Okay,so you have anuff detail in the story and the plots good. The only problem i have with it is his casual relationship with princess Luna. I get that it's casual, but shes the Princess. Have him studder when trying to just say Luna. Or when hes talking to Applejack have him refer to her as Princess Luna. Just a suggestion. All in all a good story, keep it up.

    “Que?”

    It wasn’t every day someone said something that stopped Silver right in his tracks. Heck, it wasn’t even every year. But as Luna as his witness, Spike had done just that.

    i think you changed to another idiom there

I realize guys have skulls harder than diamond (myself included), but even I would've figured it out by now. And I'm pretty sure I'm nowhere near as smart as Silver. Don't take this the wrong way. I love the story and I like Silver as a character. I just really hate it when people act stupid. IT DRIVES ME CRAZY!:twilightangry2:

    Although I think that Silver seems to be a bit too well balanced, I really like the story. I hope for new chapters soon, and since I don't quite yet understand how to watch or follow a story, here's a favorite.

    Huzzah! A new chapter!

    And things progressing quite well. You've paced the character and plot very reasonably, not like other 'first-love-at-sight and BAM date...' sort of things.

    Only thing I noticed:

    "out note, deep and throaty, mad itself known to him."

    *made ?

    Great chapter! I especially enjoy the emotional introspective moments, showing that the character doesn't really understand what's going on.

    YAY :yay:

    That ending is pretty good. Normally, Twilight wouldn't be caught dead saying something like that. And what's this, did Silver smile, like,  a big smile? Oh, Luna, look what you've started!

    I predict more cuteness at the cost of more awkwardness as each character decides what exactly this 'date' means.

    Great work. :moustache:

    Thanks for pointing that out to me. I was very careful to introduce the romance very slowly and subtly, so I'm glad it shows.

    No problem! The pacing is very apparent.

    I just had to un-fav a fic because in one chapter it went from

    'hmm. I kinda like him...haven't really chatted that much with him. Maybe I'll get to know him more.'

    to face-eating make out/I love you.

    So your fic is quite refreshing ^_^

    Good stuff.

    It feels like your trying to hard to make up reasons that they love each other though. Love is love it really doesn't matter how similar or different a couple is or even what their interests and values are.

    Anyway hopefully we finally get to know what that dream is all about.

    so far, the only thing I've found in error is just a little bit of grammar errors every so often. if you don't have a pre-reader, just go back through the story again and see if you can catch yourself on those. Other than that, the story is excellent and very well-paced.
