    • My Little Pony - Journey
      For years now a creature wanders the world of Albion, with questions in his head and sand in his boots. The questions are rather simple: Where do I come from and where will I go. But how do they say? Sometime, the journey is the reward.

    This looks promising. You have a few problems with using the right words in the right context, but nothing too bad. :pinkiehappy:

    “So, it’s not so dangerous actually?”

    It sounds a bit forced. "So, it's not that dangerous?" or something similar would fit better, I think.

    Who would risk his live don’t knowing what for?

    Should be life

    Looking forward to more!

    Oh no, this isn't going to be as heartbreaking as that other fic where Rainbow met Daring but she wasn't an adventurer but a real archaeologist and they didn't get along at all?

    If so I don't think I can take the sads.

    ... I love this. I hope you continue this! I spotted a few errors with word choice, but that's only things picky people will point out!

    “My weather duty is done, AJ is up in Manehatten to visit her uncle and aunt and Twilight is re shelving the entire library, again!”

    Should include a comma after ' and aunt' and I think you should connect re-shelving with a hyphen. It just looks better to my picky eye. This is still awesome!

    Great story, but lots of grammatical errors that might be perfectly fine in German. However, in English, it feels slightly unnatural. Do you have a proofreader?

    Und nun, für den deutschen via Google Translate.

    Tolle Geschichte, aber viele grammatische Fehler, die möglicherweise völlig in Ordnung in deutscher Sprache. Allerdings in Englisch, es fühlt sich etwas unnatürlich. Haben Sie einen Lektor?

    I can understand English quite well, thank you very much. Writing on the other hoof...

    To answer your question, no, I don't have a proofreader. It's not like they're growing on trees.

    BTW: Google Translator is horrible. I think your translation made less sense than Pinkie Pie.

    If anypony would volunteer I would send him a gdocs links with chapter 2. It's finished on the writing part but

    still needs some correction.

    a few small things i found so far...

    But what Rainbow really struck was the fact that Daring Do was referring her.

    Quiet noises could be heard after she finished talking

    I had to do something against these wooden predators or this would be not only my last adventure, since I was responsible for the life of my new friend.
    (that second part needs some fixin')

    It's really interesting to me that this is the first time I've come across Daring with this characterization. Usually, she's a full-fledged adventurer, or even when her story's been embellished somehow, she still has some legitimate explorer prowess to back it up. In this, she's just... an author. Like I said, it's definitely out of the norm.

    I think that Rainbow Dash is going to learn a bitter truth: No idol is entirely as she imagined. I think that Daring Do is going to turn out to be a lot like Lockhart in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets - a better writer than adventurer who takes credit for other ponies' efforts.  Disappointing, I know.  Maybe she was a better pony once but fame, fortune and the grief of injury (no Pegasi could ever really get over being grounded) has forever changed her approach.

    One small piece of critique: The characters use almost no contractions. Like can't, won't, he'll, I'll, etc. it makes their dialogue sound a bit unnatural and formal, especially for someone like Rainbow Dash.
