      22,723 words · 2,180 views · 212 likes · 12 dislikes

    After watching another majestic night, Twilight is told to make a wish because wishing on a star always grants wishes. She refuses. After all, it's only an old pony's tale. Climbing into bed, she has a strange dream, yet little does she know, dreams are the desires and wishes of the heart.  Upon her waking, she may just find that the stars are rather lenient in their rules and methods.

    New installments are on a weekly schedule. Updates most likely to take place on Friday/Saturday CT. Occasionally I may do a surprise Monday update as well. Until then! Ciao and enjoy!

    This is pretty good so far. Deserves more attention than it's getting. I liked the dream, and where this appears to be heading. Needs to be more fics with Nightmare Moon and Twilight (that don't involve Romance or Nightmare Moon not being evil).

    Looks promising, though the ending was a little to predictable considering the story name, description and character tags...

    Does this new story mean a hiatus for A Twilight Princess? Are you planning on working on both stories at the same time?

    Damn it, I was hoping this was a TwilightxSpike story. Either way I love it so far, and I like that Twilight's choice of company is switched around from theinexplicablebrony's comic on DA where the mane six were watching a portending meteor shower without Spike.

    I'm gonna follow this for the writing alone. The poetic imagery in Twilight's dream sequence was gorgeous.

    Watching from her balcony that was seldom put to use, Twilight observed peered through her amateur telescope to see even deeper into the ocean, knowing that her eyes alone could barely even scratch the surface of such an enigmatic piece.

    "Making a wish! Everypony says that if you wish upon a shooting star, it has to come true!" the purple and green dragon answered back promptly as soon as he finished wishing, grinning happily.

    "Spike. You know that's just an old ponies' tale. No one ever got what they wanted by wishing on a star." HE??A shrugged.

    "Well it's just fun to do anyway. Why don't you make a wish?" TWILIGHT?? scoffed.

    "Making wishes only leads to wishful thinking which leads to lack of results. There's no point really," she recited as if reading from a scientific report.

    "Alright then. Your loss." TWILIGHT? ignored that, and continued to watch the shower of stars

    You did seem to have a bit of a case of the "lavender mare" syndrome going on though. If you mix up your descriptions of Twilight and how you refer to her though, that would be solved.

    Another TwiLuna. :facehoof: Joy. I'll just move on without disliking because this just doesn't interest me. Ships like this (TwiLestia, TwiLuna, TwIxie, TwiDash, AppleDash) are a dime-a-dozen, although they can be well-written. I guess it's sort of like certain crossover combos in its triteness.

    Remember kids, just because you don't like a certain idea for a fic doesn't mean it's bad. it just means you probably won't like it.

    It confuses you? :rainbowhuh: How come?

    This dialogue is actually grammatically sound. Let's look at EqD's Editor's Omnibus.

    ✔ "Hi there," the pink pony giggled. (She giggled while saying the words.)

    ✔ "Hi there." The pink pony giggled. (She said those words, then giggled.)

    ✔ "Hi there." The pink pony grinned. (The word 'grinned' isn't a 'speaking' verb.)

    ✔ "Hi there!" the pink pony shouted. (Exclamations and queries replace the comma.)

    Looking at the dialogue; First, Spike answers something Twilight asked, grinning happily. Then, Twilight says something, which Spike shrugs at. Spike, then, replies while Twilight scoffs at it. At the last line, Spike says something, which Twilight ignores.  

    >>1477913

    Ships like this (TwiLestia, TwiLuna, TwIxie, TwiDash, AppleDash)

    Shipping should only be capitalized at names.

    IE. TwIxie, or Twixie rather, is Twilight x Trixie.

    To be fair, there's really no official shipping syntax...

    Like, I think NMMxTS is actually MoonLight, hence the capitalization.


    I know a great shipping syntax to use:

    Capitalization; shippings should always start with a capital letter, and then (only) be capitalized at names. (With the exception of common words like light, dance, etc...(optional))

    For instance, TwiLestia, the "L" should not be capitalized, as "Lestia" isn't a word, or a name.

    RariLight, light is a common word, whether you capitalize the "L" or not, is up to you.

    FlutterDash, Dash is a name and should be capitalized.

    TwiShy, (That's what it's called, right?) Shy is both a word and a name, thus it should be capitalized. (Fluttershy's initials are FS, thus shy is a name.)

    Celuna, the "L" is not capitalized, as it's short for Celestia x Luna.

    Oh Mekon, you tease.

    Somewhat different new outlook on Nightmare's persona here, a lot of folks either depict it as a separate entity that is inherently evil or created by Luna at some point.  Making her the goddess of dreams and nightmares, most interesting.  

    The story is on a good track, I'm curious as to how long Twilight will go with the denial route (if you choose to do so), and just how much of a snowball it'll make before breaking.

    This is kinda like what Gregory MaGuire did for the Wicked Witch of the West, but on a much smaller scale. One of the coolest thing one can do with canon characters and concepts is to re-imagine them from a different perspective, keeping everything the same while generating new ideas beneath the surface that nullify all preconceptions we once took for facts. And playing with canon facts is fun, too; like Twilight's apparent tendency to talk to puddles.
