    good so far. And even if there is a 'sad' tag, I'm hoping for a happy ending

    You've a habit of switching tenses in the middle of a sentence.

    Also, dat center alignment. :ajbemused: It's not so bad when it only spans a single line, but when the sentence gets long enough that it wraps around it becomes annoying.

    Oh god. :fluttershysad: I didn't expect this good of a story. I clicked the featured bar for this fix hoping for this but not expecting this. :raritycry:

    I loved this fic! I love the sadness, the inside look through RD's eyes, the build up to the break, it was the timing that made this Fic as good as it was. As both an avid fan and Fic writer (not published yet) I want to congratulate you on your tremendously enthralling first chapter. I hope to read more from you soon.

    A word of caution to this tale. I love the idea of RD moving on, but please do not dive into another relationship for RD. I thought I caught a few subtle hints at a possible PinkieDash forming and I just want to say that if you intend to go that route, here are some pitfalls that I have noticed and will list in hope that you do not fall prey to them like so many other writers have in the past.

    1. Timing. Now I know you have a great sense of timing. However I also know that while writing something that you want to have desperately happen to a character, we sometimes rush up to that point as to complete the vision. Just take it slow.

    2. Just Take it Slow. In the 1'st section take it slow is referring to the introduction of the IDEA of a relationship. Now I want to say that a lot of writers out there want to rush over the relationship development using the episodes as basis for this since it is conceivable that such feelings could have existed during the show and are just now in the Fic being called out into form. In your case this is different. with such a deep relationship with Twilight it could take RD years to come to terms and find someone else to pursue romantically. (I only know this from my experience with what happened to both of my grandmothers when my grandfathers passed)

    3. Try to show ALL the mane 6's reactions as to show just how absolutely broken RD is compared to the rest of her friends. this will deepen the reader's perceived emotional level of the character this is applied to.

    So there are 3 things that are just there to help you encase you need it. I doubt that this information will come in handy at all but if anything take this away from it. I liked your story so much that I devoted this much time and effort to try to help you along for the next chapter. A.K.A: You have me hook, line, and sinker! :scootangel: As I previously stated, I will be watching you ever so closely in hopes of another chapter. I hope to read your works soon. Good luck! :twilightsmile:

    Oh hey, another 'Someone Dash loves is in a coma' fic, with extra 'Look how happy we were before' thrown in. I'm just surprised it wasn't Dash who put Twilight in a come via a trick gone wrong, or something similar. Unless that is the case, seeing as we don't know what happened to Twilight yet.

    In all seriousness and fairness, this story is fine so far. There are several words missing, and personally in think it feels over dramatic, but that's just me. Other than that, it's just fine, and I'll follow it anyway.

    You have, however, inspired me to add another chapter to a parody fic of mine.

    I enjoyed the story so far.  It does tread pretty close to the typical TwiDash sad fic setup, but you've done it well enough that it doesn't bother me, and your vague hintings in the comments have me hoping for something unexpected and different in later chapters.  I'll keep an eye out.

    Is it seriously that much of a trend? I'm currently working on a fic that sort of has that premise. I'd hate to land in a crowded field.

    To the author: Not bad... yeah, that's unhelpful. Shoot. The transitions from flashback to normal made things a bit confusing, though the story was short enough that it didn't become whiplash or annoying. Also, in the following sentence, "A tear fought it’s way to the surface," it's should be its. And that is all for now. :twilightblush:
