    For almost a year now, Trixie has been sending letters to Twilight. The only problem is, Twilight hasn't gotten a single one... until today. But now that she has, Twilight is left with more questions than she knows how to answer. Fortunately, she has a plan. Unfortunately, she doesn't know if that plan will work.

    Hm... Clever idea. But soon, as of Magic Duel, this is gonna be non-canon. But who cares about canon? That's relative.

    Damn, pretty intriguing right off the bat. You've really set things up for an awkward meeting. Can't wait til Trixie gets to Ponyville to see how this goes down.

    I'll admit that Twixie, bet it friendship or romance, just exasperates me with how fucking commonplace it is. But when it comes from an awesome author like you, I'm all for it. What I'm really hoping for though is a Trixie who thinks Spike is mind-blowingly adorable. We don't see enough Trixies like that.

Though maybe I'm thinking of something else; without saying what this will become, have you ever mentioned anything about this fic to anyone before, such as in a blog post or something?

    For one who supposedly doesn’t know what to do with the story you brew up the next chapter surprisingly quickly. Are you sure you weren’t just pulling our collective leg with that? :pinkiehappy:

    Either way, the chap’s interesting, makes one wonder what is Trixie looking for so far in the north. And Astrid… not many give real life names to ponies, but I suppose it fits, Astrid being a northern-type name and all.

    So this is going to be a story that goes back and forth between Twilight and Trixie.  This is apparently before Trixie mailed the latest letter to Twilight.  I'm anxious to find out what Trixie is looking for, as well as, what Twilight is going to do about all the letters she didn't receive.

    If Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Hooves is any example, I have confidence that you won't let canon affect wherever you're going with this.

    I'm going to  guess RD isn't the one who changed the address--why would she?--but when she saw who the letters were from, decided Twi was better off not getting any letters from Trixie, so didn't bother correcting the change.

    Of course, that brings up who changed the address and why...

    "Letters From a Friend at the End of the World". What kind of title is that? It just lays everything on the table like a promiscuous 15-year-old. There's nothing subtle or respectable about it, it's just... tasteless. And Twixie? Is there even such a thing as a worse pairing? Jesus fuck, why do you trixiefags feel it's your job to write about her "redeemption"? SHE'S A FUCKING VILLAIN. SHE'S EVIL. That's it. There is no more depth to her character than that, and it's a literary sin to write otherwise.
