Experimental story, read at your own risk.

Lightning Dust is a pegasus who has seen very little light. While her past is obscure, that doesn't stop other ponies from their conjectures about her motivations for being so relentlessly, savagely driven- for being who she is. They must be careful in their judgments, though, for they can fall into the same traps that she did...

Oh, and I just got around to reading the "official alternate ending" for Wonderbolt Academy. It is a much better ending, but I am going to stick with the cannon of what has been shown for the purposes of this fic- it leaves quite a bit more analytical possibility and intrigue.

that's nice however... it ironic it only took bad seed a week to get her tag while LD doesn't seem to get hers.

:D I can't wait for more

They added the Lightning Dust tag so you can add it to your heart's content.

:yay:, I finished something.

Also, I demand to know your thoughts and feelings!.. Please. I should work on my begging-for-feedback skills.

that was pretty good
kind of hard to follow due to the pov being so distant
but that's part of what made it so interesting
i think that i shall follow you

1881459 You. I was.... Entertained, I think is the right word... By your "Bio" et aliis res of your page. Oh, and consider this a thank you. (please)

1873822 Thank you for pointing that out.

In a more general sense, I am not satisfied with this except in the least sense that it was "good" writing as I have come to expect of myself. I felt myself lacking the sense of catharsis or fulfillment that most stories have at the end (I am looking at you, PK, and your crappy ending to Antipodes. On a marginally related note, I have the longest post on that story, and most of it is helpful, and critical, analysis), but then again I have proven poor at judging short stories due to the (favorable) bias I have towards longer ones. I haven't read a book in a long time that I could call this "better than," but that might have to do with the kind of books I read.

I'm going to stop typing into a text box and start typing into a word document now. Happy new years, all.

Very nice.

Very interesting and well written piece!

This is a well written piece. I love stories that leave a bittersweet feel in your heart, and a sense of wonderment in your soul.

As for the tags, they do not have a Starswirl the Bearded or Clover the Clever tag, yet they have Opalescence and Raindrops...

I really, really liked this story.

In the end, I think the tale of the Smith was most accurate, although Lightning's efforts were certainly never for anyone but herself. But maybe That's because I too am determined to paint her as the lovable epic hero with the tragic flaw.
