Every time Twilight looks at an atlas, or a map, she sees something that bothers her. After being unable to find the answer with research, she chooses instead to go to one of the two ponies who is bound to have the answer; Princess Celestia herself.
Just why does every place have a pony pun for a name?
No idea who the source of the cover image is, if someone lets me know I will be happy to credit them.

Haha! Exactly, All these puns!!! I like some of the puns though, since they are in a different world. I made a pun of a city close to me , Columbus=Coltumbus
Love it. Love this story. :P
Philadelphia, Nottingham, France?, Manhattan, Buckingham!, Paris, Colchester.
First sentence: A row of adjectives has to be parted with commas, unless you want "personal protege" to be a phrase in which case you need to use quotation marks.
Short and fun, just how I like it!
short sweet well done good sir
Huh, an original idea? Impossibru!!
Really nice fic. It's nice to finally read something with at least a hint of originality.
Prepare to have your idea mimicked 5,000 times before a new one comes out!
Wait, something in East Anglia actually gets a mention?
What is this?
Nothing ever happens here.
Go a few miles north and you come to the most boring place in the whole world-Suffolk.
Orlando --> Horselando (kind of a stretch)
Salt Lake City --> Salt LICK City
Good idea but not executed well. You have quite a number of missed punctuations and run on sentences. The build up was good, but the pay off was weak and was anti climactic. Also, since it didn't really have comedy, I don't think it needs the comedy tag. The concept is silly but you don't really use it to make jokes or comedic situations. See if you can get an editor to clean up the structure, and maybe find one who can help you add a more interesting ending. A few more jokes would definetly help it earn the comedy tag.
y'all need to stop horsing around

All of those problems are entirely my fault. Thanks for the feedback on how to clean it all up a little. But it's full of puns so it's got to be comedy. I get where you're coming from though and I'm not entirely serious in that sentence. I intended for it to be funnier than it actually ended up being, and decided to stick the comedy tag on to be safe, and because it was intended to be one. Birtish humour is very dry.

Close, Coltchester was Manchester, and after Manehattan I didn't want to be simple and just have Manechester. Even if that is how some people actually pronounce Manchester
2239744
I'm English so I had to mention some places close to home. I just realised I should have used Manesfield too. Ah well, maybe next time I decide to be punny in a story.

Reminded me of this comic.
I find it funny Ponyville is the only place in Equestia that isn't a pony pun, in fact it's the least creative name because it's simply descriptive, Village of Ponies.
Mane=Maine
Hmmm let me think
Seaddle=Seattle?
Out of all the explanations I've seen for this particular dilemma, this one is by far the best. For once Celestia wasn't being a troll.
Fillydelphia=Philidelphia
Trottingham=N/A
Prance=France
Manehattan=Manhattan
Buckingham=Bermingham
Mareis=N/A
Coltchester=Windchester
Mane=Maine
You are not the only one who thought of this. Someone on deviantart did this.
2240433 yes
The cover image? I think it's a reversed version of a scene from this..

(hope that link works)
Gah, it didn't...just cut and paste it instead
A short and sweet read. Good job!
2240035 British humor is dry? *starts shaking* "WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?!"
American humor is stupidity these days.
2240035
I'm British and watch a lot of comedy, I say I'm qualified to speak on the subject. It's more subtle and clever. Although in this I just descended in to puns and over explanation
2240252
Ahh I love that comic, thanks for bringing it back to my attention. I totally forgot about it
I didn't like it.
That may be blunt but I am simply telling the truth. You kept using periods where they should not have gone, this caused a skyrocketing number of run-off sentences that were awkward to read and left me with sentences that should have been more complex. I found the plot to be kind of useless and quick with a lack of description in some area's. A period after dialogue within the quotations and then followed by more writing is awkward and to be honest Its a bad mistake and habit. Another thing that hit me in a negative way was Twilight seeming to snap from sanity to insanity every 2 seconds, you can't just throw that in every sentence and expect it to be received positively. In the show when Twilight snaps finally in some episodes she snaps because she has been completely and utterly overwhelmed; however here we see her going nuts over nothing but puns, this to me is nonsense. Let us look at princess Celestia now, when you write princess you put it into a capital, this is not correct for it is not part of her name; it is a title and therefor has no reason being capitalized. I found Celestia to be a little to silly for my tastes; by this I mean that she was taking little to nothing serious at all, therefor focusing to much on her casual/silly side and ignoring everything else of this characters personality. Her and Luna would have taken these decisions seriously to start a new beginning and to build trust in their new subjects. Would you be happy if your countries leader started making jokes about your own country and giving names to cities that were results of jokes? no. For these reasons I rate your story a 5/10 and I recommend you get a proofreader.

2241252 completely. i am texan and i agree with this statement.
2240610 Trottingham=Nottingham
Mareis=Paris
2240610 Trottingham = Nottingham, I think. It's a place in England.
New Pony-Pun "Dashington" and "Morocolt"
I recognized the cover art - here's the link: http://www.equestriadaily.com/2011/03/comic-wont-get-foaled-again.html
Buckston (Buxton), Westhockton (Westhoughton), Dockchester (Dorchester), Cannonford (Camelford), Crestbrook (Cranbrook), Barrelswick (Barnoldswick), Croup (Crewe), Fetlockstowe (Felixstowe), Hoofingdon (Huntingdon), Poll (Poole), Witherdon (Wimbledon), Dockton-on-Tail (Stockton-on-Tees), Fetlock (Matlock), Muzzlefield (Macclesfield).
So many puns.
2244989
You left out baltimare
its where I'm from and its cannon so I was a little upset
fun story though
Funny with just a hint of heart-warming. I approve, good sir!
2244610
Thank you very much

As a Brit I love not just the puns, but that they're English places.
You are my new God.
Rather... anticlimactic. But an enjoyable read nonetheless.
I'm still fond of the theory that an Eldrich Abomination ravaged the planet and was only defeated by bad horse puns. Now, to ensure that it never returns, everything has a horse pun in it.
This guy is cool.
I'm Fillypino, but I can't find/think of a good pun for Oregon.
this actually explains a lot.
2240035
I was trying to think of a way to describe how to use the situation you created and make it funny by making celestia serious about naming everything puns, but gave up since I couldn't phrase it correctly. Then i found this pic and think it explains what I mean.

When I originally thought up this idea I thought it would be better as a comic but I have no artistic ability (unless you count writing as an art form) and that was just the beginnings of my problems. It's one of the reasons the story sort of drags out a bit and could have been resolved quicker.
I don't think I'll ever get tired of seeing that comic
Thought I recognized it. The cover image is from a Madmax (csimadmax on deviantart) comic, as seen here:
derpicdn.net/media/W1siZiIsIjIwMTIvMDgvMTAvMDVfMDFfMzFfMjE1XzcwOTcwX19VTk9QVF9fc2FmZV9wcmluY2Vzc19jZWxlc3RpYV9jb21pY19wcmluY2Vzc19sdW5hX2FydGlzdF9tYWRtYXhfdHJvbGxlc3RpYSJdXQ/70970__safe_princess-luna_princess-celestia_comic_artist-madmax_pun_trollestia.png
Classic from waaaay 2011
Dat sad context
A cute idea for a fic, but the grammar and formatting leave much to be desired. Also, the prose itself feels a little... off. Not sure how to describe it really. //dl.dropbox.com/u/31471793/FiMFiction/emoticons/misc_Spitfire_sad.png
2242404
Actually, when writing princess as part of a name or using it in place of a name, it is capitalized, like so: Princess Celestia, the Princess sat down, Celestia is a princess.
It was short, It was simple, It was clean. It was straight as an arrow with no big twists at the end.
But I can't help but say I really enjoyed this. How'd you do that?
2276295
Although actually it may have ended up worse. I'm glad you enjoyed it and I don't really know how I did it. 
Imagine how good it would have been if I took it seriously and made sure it was ready before I submitted it
That Trollestia cover art nearly warded me off from reading this fic.
Faved and upvoted.
2455323
Hehe glad you enjoyed it, and that this fic is getting a little love
2455405
huehuehuehue
I'm sorry, I'm such a terrible person.
2455408
You seem quite the opposite to fave and upvote a story
2455412
I'm a complex pastry, that's how.
2455413
I knew it would be the pasties, and not the robots, that gained sentience and rose up to take us down.
2455417
That's comedy gold right there.
