Feels! :fluttershbad:

This was wonderful. I'm really strapped for time at the moment, so I'll come back later to give you a full review. Just know that you win 4/5 flutteryays.

2189472 I KNOW THIS SONG!!! I HAVE IT ON MY IPOD!! WTF. its a great song and had it in mind when I wrote this, especially with the video it was put to!:yay::yay::yay::moustache::rainbowlaugh:

2189515

When I write, I set my computer to shuffle a certain playlist. It's nothing but Sabaton and Russian songs. Also, I put up Angels Calling, too.

2189539 I'll take a look, and i do the same, although it has a lot of Sabaton, Breaking Benjamin, and a few other metal and rock bands. I'll take a look at the story. The reason why I freak out is that no one over here seems to know Sabaton, so I was just surprised you did.

2189565

Sabaton is a European band, Most bronies are Americans. Sabaton did not perform in the United States until 2011. Do the math.

2189624 This makes a lot of sense now....

2189633

Didn't you find it odd just how much of their fanbase doesn't use English in comments or videos? 40:1 is like the unofficial Polish national anthem.

Admittedly, I'm just posting all the Sabaton I can get away with because I'm trying to spread the news of this epic band.

So, does this take place during World War I?

2189730 well, the pony equivalent yes. Although It's not our actually world war 1

2189721 I have like 5 of their songs already, and i show it to who ever i can. I haven't heard this one, but its good.

2189743
I was assuming that because of the trenches.

2189754 Good, I meant for it to be like that. :twilightsmile:

MOAR! This was a great peice of literiture, art from words my friend, art from words

2190401 If you enjoyed this so much, take a look at my other works and see what you think!:twilightsmile:

2189721 Hmm.... Well now that you mention it I did find it strange. I can see why it is.

I have good news, John 117. Trenches now appears on the Tv Tropes fanfiction recommendations page for Friendship is Magic.

2217265 add a link to it:rainbowderp:

2217280

The link should appear in a number of days. Once enough people have come to your fic by that link, it will show up in the referrals section under stats for this story. It will give you the page, its URL, the website, and how many people have followed that link.

2217284 This is...surprising. Wow....:pinkiehappy:

2217288

I just went through the link to get here now. It takes about a half dozen or so different visitors coming through a link to show up in the referrals section. Consider me one of the first.

feeeliiiingssssssssssssss

2189721 yes kurwa 2189743 any of you heard about Iron Maiden?no?

2234638

We're both Americans; we know about Iron Maiden. They are one of the most famous bands here.

2234664 well i didin't know that :twilightsheepish:

2234677 Its alright, and truth me told I've only ever heard of them. I can say that I haven't heard much if any of their works. :twilightsheepish:

2234664 And for the longest time i thought you were Russian Kalash :twilightsheepish:

2234741

LOLOLOLOLOLOL,моя дорогая дурочка.

You're not the first.

2234771 I mean...You pull off a pretty good Russian, although your English would be more than superb :ajsmug:

2234779

The real Russians keep on telling me that I sound like a Ukrainian or sometimes a Czech, and I always sound like a peasant to them. :rainbowlaugh: My Russian is actually pretty weak because I haven't yet been studying it for very long. My German is pretty strong. My Latin is fantastic. English is my best. Most of the Russian influences in my writing come from having that sort of practical knowledge about some military matters. Think of it also a bonus for attention, informed readers. :raritywink: Lastly, US and other NATO armed forces have been done to death in fandom. Having something distinctive and unique helps the story to stand out from the hordes.

2234820 This is quiet true, and the fact that you know so much helps a great deal too. I take Latin, but am not too strong in it so the only language I'm actually decent in is English. :twilightsheepish:

2234833

Quot sunt anni tibi discissene linguam latinam?

I'm close to fluent in Latin. I took it for five years. One of the things I do to keep in practice is translate things I hear as I'm hearing them. Try it with music.

And now the TvTropes referrals have come in! You've earned them.

2289687 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:pinkiegasp::pinkiehappy::yay::yay:

You captured the emotion, not to mention the grim reality of war, really well. I applaud you for this. :moustache:

3475357 oh my god you read my story :rainbowderp:

Well you did ask me to promote your stories, so of course I was gonna read a few of them! :rainbowkiss:

3475378 I feel that I should do the same for you though....or at least try:twilightblush:

3475387

Don't feel obligated to do anything. I don't mind.
