So I just realized, as I'm sitting here eating my pizza and drinking my sweet tea, that I have 99 followers.
And I have just one thing I'd like to ask.
Why are you following me?!
No, seriously, why are you following me. Throw it in a comment below.
And remember, flattery gets you everywhere. Except heaven. For that we're gonna need some string, bubble gum, a tactical nuke, and the SG-1 team.
Also. Rainbow Dash vs Celestia in a race. Who would win?
oh look, you have 100 followers now.
Because I really like what you write
Because I read "How to Preen Your Chicken" and thought two things.
1. Awww. This is really sweet!
2. This guy writes good stuffs. I want to see more so I shall follow and keep my fingers crossed for more stories!
Well, actually I thought three things. The first was "WTH kind of title is that?"
Easy, I liked your chicken preening story. I am interested in your ideas and wish to subscribe to your newsletter. Celestia for the win! High level teleporting wins over wing power any day!
Let's see. I have Moonlight Angel, Luna Drops the Soap and How to Preen Your Chicken downloaded as epubs. I still have to read them someday. But the descriptions were alright, their premises interesting, and the like/dislike ratios in combination with number of views seem to indicate well-written stuff. Yes I'm evil and follow people without having actually read anything from them yet.
As for the question, I think that totally depends on what sort of race, and no matter what I would vote for RD. Because wings :3 Ohwait, they both have wings, uhhhhm, still RD then!

That I do!
In sum, I really like how you write. How to Preen Your Chicken was an excellent and heartwarming look into the relationship between Scootaloo and Rainbow Dash. It just hit all the right notes and seemed true to how the characters interact with one another. As far as your longer stories go, Finding Your Voice is developing into a thoroughly enjoyable as well as unique tale that builds naturally out of the MLP:FIM universe into new, unexpected places.
So, who would win in a race between Celestia and Rainbow Dash . . .
Celestia drops the sun on Rainbow Dash. Celestia wins.
Because I loved How to Preen Your Chicken.
Honestly...? I have no idea, I've only read one of your fics and it was cute so presumably i enjoyed it? Perhaps refered here by someone else :)

I think you'e read at least two.
Luna Drops the Soap and Leaf and Sap, Blood and Fire.
Because I like Finding Your Voice.
Because of "how to preen your chicken" and "find your voice".
Finding Your Voice has had me sucked in since the first chapter. It also has a habit of updating while I am intoxicated causing me to leave long, hopefully somewhat insightful comments. Well, it takes more than booze to get me to leave long comments. It also takes a story that leaves me thinking after I'm done reading, and wondering what is to come.
Judging be other people's responses it looks like I'll have to check out some of your other stories that I previously skipped over when I have time.

To be honest, that story drives me nearly insane to write. Probably because I have absolutely no long term plan for it other than the very vaguest idea of where I want it to go. I just try to make it interesting enough to keep people coming back, even if it's crazy over the top in a lot of areas. (As a few comments have pointed out)
I've watched you since you posted the Moonlight Angel story. I support SoarinDash, and watched you in case you write more. Also,the story How to Preen Your Chicken
was adorable.

Hmmm. I suppose it might be time for another SoarinDash fic...

I know that myself and others have tried to work out what is going on behind the scenes, and what really happened to Quint and why, from the hints you have left in the chapters. For someone that claims to only have a vague idea of where things are going you certainly have a way of inspiring people to think and theorize about the significance of certain events and how they are all related. Is that where much of the difficulty comes from? Building what appears to be a grand master plan at work as you go? Because if that is the case I don't think writing it is what is driving you insane. You would have to be insane in the first place to take on such a task and succeed as spectacularly as you have. Still, I'm glad that you continue to persevere and maintain a high level of quality that leaves readers trying to piece together the mystery even if you haven't quite puzzled out everything yourself yet. It makes me wonder what you could come up with if you had a solid outline from the start.
On the subject of craziness, If the main reason for the link thing (aside from giving Quint another method of communication) was to give Fluttershy a chance to comfort a shaken and vulnerable Rainbow Dash then I say it was worth it. That scene is one of my favourites. From the first chapter you've shown a talent for bringing out the feels by having characters go through hell, only to transition to heartwarming as another character, usually Fluttershy, helps them pull through when they are most broken.
I do hope that Quint eventually does find his voice though. Currently that seems very unlikely due to the nature of his injuries. It would take a miracle at this point. Poor kid has been through so much hell that he hasn't been able to discuss it even if he could talk, and things just keep getting worse. We don't even know where his father is or if he is even still alive. It would take one hell of a happy ending to even begin to make up for what Quint has been through, not to mention the other characters.
Hopefully this gives an idea of why I like that story so much, and how much I appreciate it. I have a hard time putting these things into words on the best of days, and I'm currently fighting a migraine to get this out.

Thanks, Beerforce. Since I started writing back in January (Yeah, I've never written in my life until then), I've bought up a whole bunch of how-to-write books. While reading, I found the following saying, which I'll try to paraphrase: "Make your characters go through hell. That's the only way you'll see who they really are."
I've tried to follow that without getting too crazy. Hopefully I've succeeded.
As a few comments on the story's page have pointed out, I went a little over the top in a few places, such as with Celestia, and it doesn't always make the most sense, but I hope people can look past it and enjoy it anyways. (Which they appear to be doing)
And thanks for your post. I think it's re-motivated me to get back to it and press on with the story. And don't worry, if you've liked the story so far, I think you'll like the ending I have planned.
1280481 The whole Celestia scene is actually one of my favourites for many reasons. Even when I go back and read it again it still manages to squeeze a few tears from me. Sure, it is kind of shocking when initially reading Celestia's reaction, but the logic is internally consistent enough for it to make sense in the end.
I follow cause you make great story he don't any other reason.
If you ask me Rainbow Vs. Celestia in a race will be a tie.
