SPOILERS Review to the story: "Misconception" by Drizzle Quill · 7:27am Sep 11th, 2013
Yay, I now have my very first finished mulit-chaptered story review. Now, enough of me, I'm here to talk about the story "Misconception" by Drizzle Quill and why I recommend this story to the rest of the fandom. It has a believable conflict and a solid plot [story] to it all help to make it an enjoyable experience. Though it does have an ending that wishes it could be better and one character somewhat loses her credibility though that doesn't really take away from the reading unless you were looking at the story like I was (I lied, I did talk about myself...tehe).
As always, we will start with the positives, and the most noticeable was a believable conflict. From the very first words, we get the conflict: Due to Applejack having no father to spend Father's Day with, Rarity, with her generosity, decides to invite her along to see Rarity's dad. Rarity writes to her dad to let him know in advance, but he misunderstands due to how Rarity words her letter and believes that Applejack is Rarity's marefriend. Most of the conflict is inner conflict as Rarity is constantly worrying about what others would think, especially after she lets Applejack read the letter and the orange mare wants to continue the charade.
This is where Applejack looses some credibility. She is the Element of Honesty, why would she lie? Turns out that Applejack has a crush on Rarity and is using the opportunity to tell her. While I would believe anyone would do this, I still can't agree that Applejack would do it. I could believe it if Rainbow Dash was in her place, not Applejack. But like I said, if you weren't reading the story like I was, this wouldn't be at all a problem. so this is forgiven, but not forgotten.
As you can see, it is a pretty straight foreword plot that we had seen before done a little differently. Because of that, the plot is quite solid (laugh all you want, I can't hear you) and you can read the story without having to look back due to confusion.
Then, we come to what I consider to be the worse part of the story: The ending. Drizzle ends it on a cliffhanger without bringing up another conflict very well after finished off this one. As of this, what was a way to bring us into a sequel only left us feeling nothing, only more questions and no huge conflict that wasn't brought up in a climax. I have yet to read the next story so I can't really say anymore on how effective this ending was.
After much deliberation, I decided to give this story a 8.8/10 and a thumbs up.
