Story/Fimfic reviews volume: 2 ; Vinyl and Octavia university days by DawnFade · 6:06pm Nov 7th, 2013
Ahh university days, the fic that everypony has read or at least seen once in their lives. The most known fic at that, being it has multiple readings and fan 'stuff' on youtube and other places. But enough of that, down to the review.
University Days is a OctaScratch, comedy, slice of life style fic, that-like 'Symphony for the Rival' doesn't just straight into the romance. But when it does it does it well. This is a well written fic that goes for quite a few chapters that average around 3k words. Dawn played the characters perfectly, with the exception of Lyra. The thing this fic does sooooooo well, is it sets the scene flawlessly, and witch Dawn's description and depictions of the setting and places you get a pitch predict image of their surroundings. Wether it be a bustling university in Manehatten on a sunny day, to a dorm room on the second floor with the only light of the setting celestial sun, seeping in through the wooden blinds. Overall there's not much else to say other than another price of Writing gold to add to the archives.
Scores;
Settings: 100
Characters:89- Lyra Heartstrings was the low point in this fic
Storyline:98 could get a bit confusing at times, but never enough to ruin the mood
Overall: 87/100 the problems being, Lyra, and the other fact that Dawn says himself that the time that goes by between chapters are a couple of weeks, while in the fic it makes it look and seem that it just continued from where it left off last chapter.
But aside from those this is a great fic with the most popularity and ratings you're gonna get at the moment
