Ten Speed


Self sure in ability or supremely stupid.

E

Often times someone's, or somepony's, greatest enemies aren't the obstacles before them but themselves. Far too often we deny who we really are and tell ourselves lies. Those betrayals are reflected in our relationships with those around us and what others expectations of us are. Eventually this falsehood manifests into something that can no longer be ignored. The question is; just who are you when you're alone in the dark and how do you handle the silent truth?

Interesting. Not many people on Fimfiction can write like this, so I applaud you. Liked :moustache:

A Kurt Cobain GIF from 1730916? I feel honored :rainbowkiss:
1731074 Ty good sir or ma'am, I really appreciate that kind of positive feedback and I'm glad you liked it :yay:

Nice, this story gets seven out of seven asses.
But really, you did a fine job on this, vary deep and poetic, just how I like it .

Great writing style, it's very descriptive.:twilightsmile: Judging by the title, I guess you are a fan of Dio?

I give it a +1. Good job.
Remember to capitalize names though, it's Rainbow Dash not Rainbow dash. Only spotted that and a couple of minor errors though, so good grammar and spelling for the most part.
I like.

Soooo... Dash was afraid to let out her childhood innocense or something :rainbowhuh:
Um I dunno I have a very dense mind

1731642 Haha thanks!

1732035 Indeed I am a fan of the late, great Ronny James Dio :ajsmug:
Links to Rainbow in the Dark and Sound of Silence - Simon and Garfunkel are in the authors notes since they were both part of the inspiration behind this short fic. Strange i know:rainbowderp:

1732924 Gah! Thanks for pointing that out, I'll go back through and correct those. Hate missing that kind of stuff with a self edit.

1733465 The filly Dash is suppose to represent the truth and her true self. The part of her that she protects and hides from everyone. All her fears and doubts were keeping her from being honest with herself and who she is. All the insecurities she keeps buried underneath her bravado and what she feels others are always expecting of her kept her from the truth. More or less that underneath her vernier of "awesomeness" she has weaknesses and is just as vulnerable as anyone else. At the same time though, I want the reader to take from it, and interpret the meaning of it in whichever way they would like. Whew, a little long winded but I hope I cleared that up for ya some. :twilightsmile:
edit: Thanks for the fave!

Thanks everyone for the feedback! If you enjoyed this story I'd appreciate it if you all helped me promote it! Pass it on and recommend it to others! :pinkiehappy:

With your explanation of it, that makes sense and I find it interesting.
You might have been able to get that across a bit more in the work itself though.
And with self-editing you nearly always miss something. It's like a rule of the universe.

1739165 Haha yeah, it creates a bad habit of skimming and filling in blanks without even thinking about it. I'm not sure how I'd elaborate further within the story without risking over-explaining but I appreciate the observation and I'll keep it in mind for future fics like this.

That balance is a tricky one. Good luck with your next work - if I see it I'll give it a read and point out errors again. :twilightsmile:

1740063 Thanks! I'm planning to have my current project out by the end of the week, maybe I'll run into you there :ajsmug:
