interesting... very original subversion of the trope. We shall see how you did. ![]()
edit: done reading now. it was... alright. What happened to the real dinky and why did changeling dinky get over being a changeling so fast.
Interesting...
My major complaint is that you could have fleshed-out the story a lot more. When Derpy asked Dinky to stay, supposedly the emotional climax of the story, there wasn't any impact that I was feeling at all. This is due possibly because I was just read about the Dinky replacement less than a minute before the "touching" scene. You pretty much glossed over the years of bonding between Derpy and changeling Dinky, which should be considered the bulk of the story.
And I wouldn't call each scene a chapter either.
What happen to Dinky?
It's as if you forgotten about the real Dinky. Right from the beginning, I was begging for a back story on why the Changeling queen want Dinky in the first place, and I only grown more agitated towards the end. No, not forgotten; I dare say that you purposely ignored the real Dinky.
But those issues are forgiven, since I believe that this is a rough outline for a more polished story that you'll be writing. With an fascinating idea like this, it deserves to be more.
Also, I find that being in engrossed in what I write helps give meat to the bone without feeling like I'm expending more effort.
>>1436289 Later on I think I'll write a longer, more detailed story. I only wrote this in a couple hours, cause I was bored and wanted to write something. I am working on another fic with someone else, which will take a real long time, but yeah, thanks for the feedback, I like the idea of this and might re-write it.
Interesting concept, but poorly executed. You say that this was written in two hours - well, it shows. The grammar is poorly done, and despite being only 1500 words, it flows in a artificial manner. What could have been a single emotional scene bookended (perhaps with a few flashbacks tossed in from the perspective of both Derpy and Dinky) is instead the skeleton of what seems like a much larger story.
Wow, talk about your dark tales as this one explains a lot.![]()
Nice job on the overall idea of the story.
Someday I hope for a sequel spotlighting other ponies reactions to the news.
So where's the real Dinky, and how come Derpy isn't absolutely desperate to find her? ![]()
