that's low Octavia, real low...
You have some extra spaces here.
Extra space.
Also, you didn't indent the first paragraph or the first paragraph after a dividing line.
This... another asshole givez me a sad before work. You fucking douche.
Great writing. Just...
Possibly Octavia is doing the same thing to Vinyl that Vinyl did to her? And great job. I just read another sad/romantic Octavia/Vinyl fic, just as good as yours (but yours might be slightly better, as it doesn't have comedy mixed into it). But anyways, I was planning to write the next chapter to my own comedy, but you two killed it. I need a tub of ice cream.

I - I'm sorry?
(As for the indent thing, I blame Google Docs. Will fix).

Dammit! Another sad Vinyl/Octavia fic. Whelp, back to the ice cream. I'll be at least 10 pound heavier tomorrow at this rate.

Be glad I only had a half-day yesterday, or I might have ended up falling off a ladder or roof cuz I was depressing over this fic and not paying attention.
Wow I have been reading too meany fics with happy endings. I was not prepared for this.
This was pretty sad but oh so good...like in a sad way but not bad....ughhhh crap. You get what Im saying.
Not as much a sad fic as what the buck at the end not as in inequality I mean what happens
It was still semi sad but taking in spin the bottle I think that kinda thing works really well for you but in any case you are by far in my top ten octascratch writer
Link find music you found a FOLLOWER

Thanks for the kind words! This was a bit of an experiment to see whether I can write sad fics, and judging by the majority of reactions I'm not too good at it, and I'll stick to comedy/shipping. Which is fine by me, since as I mentioned this was a bit of an experiment.
Hey, I came up with the perfect sequel (has been running through my head since the day I read this).
Vinyl and Octavia haven't been in contact for a week or so. Octavia is eating dinner and is interrupted by Vinyl at her door wearing a saddlebag. Vinyl is shitfaced, only able to stand because of the righteous anger flooding through her veins.
She says things about Octavia thinking it was funny to do that to her. Octavia says now she knows how she felt all those time. Vinyl responds with something along the lines of "But I never said I would give you ONE chance to begin to fix all the wrongs I have done to you, then pissed on your face and not shown up". After that would come 'With speed and dexterity that defied her drunkenness, the flap to the saddlebag lit with a blue aura. Before Octavia even noticed it, a blade flew out, running itself across Vinyl's outstretched leg.'
Then, one of three things; Vinyl dies and Octavia feels like shit cuz it was her fault, Vinyl doesn't die but Octavia feels like shit cuz it was her fault, or Vinyl doesn't die but Octavia is pissed and just sees it as a pathetic attempt to play at her sympathies.
The one that is running through my head most is she doesn't die (just a shallow cut that was nowhere near an artery) and Octavia realizes that it was a poor choice on her part. Vinyl had passed out and Octavia put her in her bed. When Vinyl wakes up, she goes to leave (after piecing back the night before) but is stopped by Octavia. She apologizes, but Vinyl throws it in her face saying something about next time she tries to kill herself she will make sure she does it in her house.
I have more thought up but I have to get to work.

Ehhhh...
As I mentioned above, this was a bit of an experiment to see whether I can write sad fics. Whilst the reception to it isn't that bad, I think that it's safe to say that sad fics aren't my forté, so I'll quietly ignore this story and call it a failed experiment.
2412785
Dude, I thought this was amazing. Yeah, not the heart-wrenching sad of The Letter or the first Pokemon movie, more of the... I can't really think anything right now. It wasn't suppose to be heart-wrenching, just a slice-of-life "shit, that could/has happen to me/someone I know" kinda story, ya know? Don't think of it as failure. It wasn't. Yeah, there were some parts that may have been able to be done a bit better, but when aren't there?
2412891
Hmm, I hadn't thought of it that way. Still, I didn't have as much fun writing this one as my previous fics, and I felt like I had to work a lot more with it since everything's very dependent upon conveying the right emotions.
2414683
Heavy feels like this require a lot of work to get right. Maybe stick with lighter, fluffier stories, but don't NOT write anymore like this because it took more work. Maybe just give it some time. I look forward to more work though.
Hmm, for some reason, I wasn't following you. I've come to terms with this mistake and fixed it.
2412891
It's not one of my best stories, and, frankly, I don't see what all the fuss is about. I just was very depressed while writing it, so it came out like that. If I'd been happy, I'd have written a comedy or something...
Gosh, people, will you just forget The Letter?
Now, as for the actual comment on the story.
It was very well-written, and moving, and a little touching. I can't say I felt great compassion for Vinyl, but rather a hint of empathy. (I've been in a rather similar situation myself.) The moral is clearly visible through the narration: you don't really appreciate something until you lose it.
The ending, however, wasn't really well-played, if you allow me to criticise a little. You see, while we do see the action, we don't see the background: maybe you could write a para or two regarding what Octavia was doing that evening, or just a hint at why she'd decided to abandon Vinyl. Now, it's like, "well, she stood her up; yep; that's it." That's all right, but... not really 'Sad', if you get what I mean.
Still, one of my faves.
P.S. And now, go write a happy VinylTavi fic. Nao. NAO. RIGHT NAO.

I dunno. I write stories that I want to write, and as I said I certainly had more fun writing my previous stories since they were more comedic. If I think of more sadfics (I did have a FlutterDash idea in mind but I probably wouldn't be able to pull it off) then I'll consider writing them. I've definitely got at least two more lighthearted Octavia/Vinyl stories in mind which I should probably write, especially considering that I've had one of them in mind since about midway through V&OMTWTTJ.

Following you in return

I was trying to show that both Octavia and Vinyl were in the wrong somewhat - Vinyl had been a bad marefriend, but Octavia was being a bit too harsh in dumping her so suddenly and showing no consideration for her feelings as a result.
I purposely didn't show what Octavia was doing so that readers would hopefully not realise what she was doing until it was a bit late, to drive the point home a little. Although at the same time, I also wanted to leave it at least a little ambiguous, so that if people wanted to believe that they do eventually reconcile then they can. Nevertheless, I do see the point you're making.
For the record, my original ending was going to be Vinyl dies of alcohol poisoning, and Octavia rocks up the next morning to find her dead, having genuinely been unable to make it for a legitimate reason. But I decided that was a bit too dark, and I'm glad I didn't use it.
I am a horrible writer and you should be ashamed that you admitted that.
I'm taking a little break from writing now, since I've got uni and stuff, but I'll probably start again whenever I do some decent brainstorming for one of my ideas.

You misspelt 'awesome'. It's spelt 'awesome', not 'horrible'. Hope you fix that.
S'cool! Not sure if you read any of my fics, but I have a few OctaScratches (one-shots, too) that may pique your interest.

I've favourited An Island, but I'm probably a few chapters behind (I haven't been reading fics for a little while now). Your other stories do look good, and I'll probs read them at some point in the near future.
Now if you'll excuse me, it's nearly 1.30 AM, I should get to sleep.
2415281
Amazing, I'll be expecting a comment or two from you
Well for your first sad story that was great!
As for Octavia I wouldn't believe she would sloop that low.
2414986
I knew you'd like it. And until you can wipe my memory, I will never forget it.
2415110
I know, and I am waiting for more from you. But, you are on break so I ain't expecting it soon.
Well, that is normally what I correct since I use to edit for him.
so much for me alone
You fuckin' dick 'Tavi , you fuckin' dick
This was an interesting read (in general and for it being 5am
) and leaves me asking, is there going to be a offshoot of this story? and is there (or could there be) a version of this from Octavia's viewpoint?
2556051
As I mentioned in some comments above, this was really an experiment. I'm not very pleased with it, so I probably won't do anything else with it. To be honest, I'm pretty much forgetting about this one.
2570625 Well I won't be forgetting it. As far as sad fics go I normally shy away from them, I kind of enjoyed this one. The choice is yours and I respect that, please inform me if you ever think of deleting this one. I dare say I'd like to see someone else try writing a equal or something else for this with your approval.
2570658
Oh, by no means am I going to delete this, since I know that there are people out there who no doubt would enjoy it/have enjoyed it, it's just that I personally kinda ignore this one when I think about the fics I've written.
That being said, if someone wanted to write a sequel or side-story*, I'd be fine with it provided they were a decent writer.
*(>Implying that I write well enough to inspire others)
2570665 To be honest I would like to try but I've been on painkillers for over a week so my mind has been fuzzy.
*deadpool lining up headshot*
no deadpool, death is too simple for octavia after THAT, this seems like something for ghost rider to solve.
"PENENCE STARE!"
beautiful story but you do realise that octavia's reptuation well be worth nothing when what she did gets around? especialy considering her main source of income is working for unicorns and alicorns, what do you think cadence would do when she aquries how octavia ended that?
