Hi I don't really write ponyfics anymore I am just using this account to read other stuff.

E

Every year, Applejack takes a few days off and does all the books for the farm. In her quest to honestly account for all her farm's profits she thinks about family, friends, and general musings on Equestrian tax law. This is a story about Applejack adding up numbers, filling out tax forms and learning, once again, about the magic of friendship.

Hmm.

Overall, I liked it. Clean grammar, the characters feel pretty close to show quality, no grimace inducing spelling errors. :twilightsmile:

Something about the story feels incomplete, though. While the detail and worldbuilding are fairly awesome, the ending of "and then they did everything and nothing" (i.e. Taxes) somehow left me feeling flat. The whole story felt like it was building up to something cool and dramatic, and then other than the accounting system - there was nothing there.

I almost would have liked it more if Applejack *had* taken a little honest pride in the fact that her family's accounting system had become the de facto business standard.

(I also think that Applejack wouldn't have called EITHER of her friends "ma'am", nor would Rarity have called Applejack "partner". But that's just dialogue nitpicking, I suppose...)

I'm still giving it a thumbs up, though.

I'm impressed, I love AJ and this seems like something that should really be read....I'll read on.

.................Only Pinkie, yet it really suits her. Where did Flutter's go again? This is getting very good, I'll read on.

Shit.....will they even believe Fluttershy? This is insane, I wonder what Lyra, Bon-Bon, Vinyl (eeven more so Vinyl) and Octavia have to do for their taxes? Damn....now this really makes me think.:rainbowlaugh:

I sensed a small amount of Rarijack (:yay:) though I'm supriseed Rarity did not go crazy with the amount of.....germs there were around the place. I love it, really wanna read how Fluttershy does her taxes:rainbowlaugh: Also I think you meant moon, instead of moo from the last chapter, small error nothing major though, can't wait for more:pinkiehappy:

Raising the sun and the moo.

Cowluna is best Luna

-so the Princesses and the mayor can provide vital services to Equestrian and Ponyville. For example, raising and lowering the sun and moo.

Minor typo, but now I'm curious, is it the princesses or the mayor that delivers the moo? :derpyderp1:
(great story by the way.)

I love the vision of a horde of animals helping Fluttershy do her taxes

1615968 Thats easy we know Celestia rises the Sun so the Mayor must Moo, maybe she's part cow?

though they were mostly stuck together since Pinkie insisted on writing with frosting instead of ink.

*facehoof* That explains so much...

Thanks for the comments guys! Totally didn't have a chance to check them until today. :3

Thank you! I wrote this story on a plane ride, which I guess shows because it's bumpy and, as you said, there's a lot of unresolved-ness in it since I wrapped it up before the plane landed.

Hee, thanks. I don't ship Rarijack, but I can see where it comes from since I tend to write Rarity as an affectionately touchy type.

I am leaving that typo in. Because cowluna is best luna.

Parallel processing! 100 animal friends combine to form one giant animal brain! Or something.

Derpy loves delivering Pinkie's letters since she can eat them and nobody cares if they don't get a frosting-covered-mess in the mail.
