Reading is Magic #1 · 8:07pm Jan 11th, 2014
Welcome everypony to the very first Reading is Magic! Today the first story, Wings of Silver, Hearts of Gold, written by Silver Melodies. I just want to say first how much this story hit me with and I can tell that this would have happy ending, even if Sweetie Belle almost went. The link will be in the description for the story.
Ok, now time to sum it up! I thought it was great how he started it. I use this technique too! Seeing how Scootaloo couldn't fly with going to her memories, wow. But then given a ray of hope to Scootaloo with Sweetie Belle going to Zecora's with that little cure. After the C.M.C. run to Rainbow Dash and tell her they need to go into the forest for the flower, RD figures its too dangerous and takes Scootaloo home. Sweetie Belle being a good friend, goes to the forest to get the flower. Here's a twist, she gets grabbed by a Tentocna and gets bruised, only to be saved by Rainbow Dash. BACK AT THE HOSPITAL. Everyponies there. Sweetie Belle is visited by her family and then Scootaloo. Scoots runs to her only to have a quick chat and BOOM, Scoots ushered out to find her friend might die. Wow. After two months she visits Rarity to find Sweetie Belle alive. But here's the biggest twist of them all. She is now blind. They have a small conversation and then everything is back to normal.
Analyzing time! I think that one thing kind of ehh'ed me. How can Scootaloo's wings be as big as Rainbow Dash's wings? I don't know how and if I do try to go into depth, this will be a problem. Other than that it is was well written and I think that he really got me with a twist. I think he did a wonderful job with the story and creating the monster, sweet! My rating 9 1/2 out of 10!

A SM story. :D He really is a good writer, and on top of that, a good friend.
Good review for your first one.
1707010 Thank you so much! I just think I might put that collaboration back up!
1707020 yeeeeeeeah buddy
Thanks! I'm glad you liked it! Also, just to clear it up, here is my explanation on Scoots wings. It's more of a head cannon, actually.
Every so often, a pegasus will be born with a special gene that allows them to have bigger than normal wings, thus marking their royal blood...
As you can tell, only the princesses have large wings. Twilight is a princess now, but she became one, she wasn't born one. Somewhere in her family history, Scootaloo has royal blood...
1707010 Gee... thanks! It's nice to hear you say that.
