    It took so much nerve to put this up, if anyone is afraid of being scolded it's me.

    If i may,

    First of all that is a huge wall of text.  maybe separate it out a little? also, make a new paragraph every time someone speaks, and then a new paragraph after that.  second, your syntax and overall sentences were a little choppy, but your vocabulary was good and other than that it was well written.

    Paragraphs.

    Every time a new person speaks a new paragraph. No exceptions.

    Beyond that just go with what flows, paragraphs should represent complete thoughts, but should also flow into each other nicely. If that doesn't work, just hold your fingers about two inches apart put them to the screen and make them that long. It's stupid advice but it works if you absolutely can't figure out how to space them out.

    Wall of text. Please fix it. Every time a new person speaks, its a new paragraph.

    Also, please indent your paragraphs by pressing the "tab" button.

    ITS SUPER EFFECTIVE

    I almost want to forgive you for the "wall of text." It was a struggle getting through it, yet the struggle to go on is sort of the point. This is one of those stories in which the shape of the text, like poetry, adds meaning to the reader's experience of it. Breaking out of the wall felt like a relief.

    You might want to experiment with the shape of the story a bit, to overcome the resistance of the casual reader. Look beyond ordinary formatting. You might look at the works of e. e. cummings and ponder the interaction between the form of words on the page and the effect on the reader. In a short work like this, it could be very effective.

    Yeah, I can't really give you anything everyone above hasn't already given you. Do what they said.

    ...and then Scootaloo failed her flight test and got ground up into rainbows, and the mare's textwalls full of heroic struggles were all in vain.

    It would probably be more relevant if I could read the despair through your fortress of endless text, but there you go. Actually, your textwalls make me despair, and yet my masochistic brain is screaming for more, and more, and more, and more, and more...

    Blergh. Break it up so it's more readable, please.

    For those who don't know the pleasure of knowing who he is, she wrote books like Coraline, Stardust, Don't Panic and also did a lot of other works involving television and theater

    Well, that is Billy Shakespeare; the guy was a hack and a clown.  Everyone reveres the idiot, yet seem to forget that he MADE UP half the language he was using just because.

    These days, we'd call that a trollfic and downvote it into oblivion.

    Neil Gaiman though... that guy wrote Bad Omens with Terry Pratchett, and is a god amongst men.  You should be proud!  And please write more...
