Author's Spoilerless Footnote - LOYALTY · 3:37am Nov 19th, 2012
Damn these two are so much fun to write about. They go off and make their own trouble and I don't even have to type anything.
Now, if you're quite finished throwing various food items at me for bringing the story to an end, I'll recommend something else Wonderbolty you can whittle away the hours with. Unless you're Edragon, in which case you've probably read them all. Twice. (Haha, no, I'm kidding about that last part. I think.)
A Day With Dad
So one of the great disappointments in life is a story that ends with the couple's marriage, or their first kiss or whatever (yeah yeah hypocrite) because it teaches us that romance stops being exciting after that big moment. I read A Day With Dad right before I finished the last paragraph of LOYALTY and kicked myself for waiting so long. It's about Rainbow Dash and Soarin's son, and it's got that wonderful cinnamony spice of a strong relationship. Read it and you'll know why I'm laughing at the cinnamon.Here In My Room
Very short, very sexy, pretty much inappropriate for sensitive audiences even though the actual act is cut out. Out of all these, this one has the least solid writing and I still love it.Dusty Roads
Don't let the romance tag fool you - there isn't any to speak of in this tale - but I flat out enjoyed the author's refreshing, realistic take on flight. The story is about Soarin' and his path to a Wonderbolt career.Moonspire Run
Again, no Soarin' x Rainbow Dash romance. It is what LOYALTY might have been had Spitfire been Rainbow Dash's first mentor.
There's a lot I could say about my story. I wrote the first three chapters by hand, closed the notebook and quit. Months later I needed notebook paper and rediscovered my late night scribbling. I read it and actually laughed. Here we are a novel later.
In case you want to CTRL + F anything, here is the Full 193 Page Google Document. Knock your dial-up internet out. You get a 
for every typo you point out so I can fix it.
LOYALTY is named after the song with the same title by AcousticBrony & MandoPony.
The story was a way for me to try and flesh out an animation based on that song. I only made it a third of the way with the video. Ironically it was the story that was never meant to be which came to life instead.

Heheh...yeeeeeaah...uh...about that...
I certainly do the humor...and horror...of cinnamon.
Also that Crystal goblet song you linked...that's awesome.
And...Do I get back-pay for error pointing outing?
If you also wanted to know, I myself wrote a couple SoarinDash fics but I won't say they are the best
but they are good to me.

I've read them...they weren't bad, you should definitely keep at it.
A tip if you're interested, would be to add more details to scenes, and stretch them out.(Within reason) Paint a picture out of your words.
Oh, shoot, I remember seeing that animation on Equestria Daily. Huh. The Internet gets smaller every day.
Sounds cool ta me, any chance of love for Twist occuring eventually?
559119 You mean my short stories? There are more ideas for those; the next one I have planned is pretty off the wall. Heh Heh.
I should redesign the cover art for Twist. It's part of the reason there's not much interest for that fic, I think.
559494 So i can take that as yay you'll be writing more for it?
559503 Yes, especially now that I know someone wants more over there.
