    • First Impressions
      Is Gilda really as bad as she seemed? Or is the truth more complicated?
      8,351 words · 1,255 views · 45 likes · 7 dislikes

    First impressions are important, but often inaccurate.  For example, Gilda.  When she first met Pinkie, she seemed like a controlling, abrasive, thieving jerk.  But is that all there is to her?  Or is the real situation much more complicated?  When Gilda returns to Ponyville to try and fix her friendship with Rainbow Dash, the truth will be revealed.

    AN: This is my first fic on this site, and any constructive criticism will be appreciated.  I would also appreciate any corrections you have to make.  I'll also do some fine-tuning to this fic after the fact.  Updates will be sporadic, but I'll try to get do so at least twice a week.  Thank you for understanding

    First major problem with this story: none of the viewpoints really "sound" like the character they're following, which exacerbates the real problem.

    You DO NOT have multiple viewpoints in a 1st person story! ESPECIALLY when you do not use any signals to tell the reader who the viewpoint character is when the pov switches!

    Here's a downvote.

    That is, provided you don't mind delayed updates while I fix it.

    Sry if it detracted from your experience.  This is my first fic, so criticism is appreciated.  Next time, however, I'd appreciate it if you'd be a little more constructive

    I'll be putting the story on hiatus for a little while, until I do some editing and deal with a few personal matters.  Stay tuned for the new and improved "First Impressions", coming soon!

    An overall great story –– very creative, and I especially like the idea of putting the baddie Gilda in better light –– but there are quite a few punctuation mistakes here and there.

    Huh, I'm using the same Idea in my new fic. The only difference is that Guilda is shipping with somepony.

    Good story, great concept.

    How is this not taken down? You have twenty-one character tags, HOW?

    (Not that I want it taken down.)

    Okay, only read this first chapter but I'll definetly continue. :pinkiesmile: Only one thing, you've got some problems with keeping the narration consistend.

    for example:

    She smiled, happy I wasn't alone on her vigil.

    I presume you meant 'happy she wasn't alone on her vigil.'

    As I grabbed the animal and ended its life with a quick snap of the neck, I took out an apple she had been holding in her bag.  She ate the bat and the apple

    Who is this 'she' Gilda is talking about here? It comes off weird, is there another person in the cave?

    All in all, I'll read the rest, since the premise is interesting enough and I kinda like your style. Also: Tasty bats! :derpytongue2:
