Slap on a party, pull up a hat and join the chair! It's fan-fiction time!

So entrenched is the miser McIntosh McCrooge in his mire of avarice. Could the chance of hope and joy procured by the Ghost of Derpy Hooves bring about his appreciation in the celebration of a Merry Hearth's Warming?

(This fiction uses faithful adaptation of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol and uses Victorian english.)

Fluttershy is best spirit :3

Of the 15 Christmas Charol storys i have heard this is one of my favorite

Okay, so there's a few mistakes I could point out here. A few misspellings, a couple of mischaracterizations (why would Rarity use a hoof to sew?) and a couple of missed items in conversion from human to pony (such as the Ghost of Hearth's Warming Future pointing with a finger).

But you know what? That's nitpicking. Not only have you carried over Charles Dickens's seminal work to the world of Equestria, but you've done an exceptional job of it, keeping not only the writing style and spelling but also the spirit of the whole thing. So for that, left beneath your virtual Christmas tree tonight, you shall find a sum of no less than five (5) gold stars. Thank you, and Merry Christmas.:twilightsmile:

85816 Fixed the finger bit. What spelling errors?

I havent read it all yet, but its quite "C.S Lewis" style! :rainbowkiss:
me like it:pinkiecrazy:

85856 There were only two that stood out on a second read-through: In chapter 1, you used "cheerlier" (should be "cheerier"?) and in chapter 5, there's the line ""Today is Hearth's Warming! Where've you been at!" it said in a facetious hark." which should have "he" (the colt) as the pronoun.

Like I said, these are piddling complaints. Would that I had these few mistakes in my writing.

I liked the story. However, in Chapter 1 I could've sworn a few bits were copied and pasted. Also I couldn't really imagine McCrooge talking like Macintosh. But still it's a good story. I give it three and a half trains.

Woooo!
Woooo!
Woooo!
Wop!

you spelled "Share" wrong.
