Title: The Game of Thrones, Alicorn Style by RK_Striker_JK_5
Verdict: Accept (8/10)
Reason:

Okay, you got me. This was a fairly enjoyable narrative that hit all the right buttons for me. It was pretty short, but by no means did I feel it was lacking in substance.

There are a few grammatical errors in it. Examples are below:

is it truly necessary for both Twilight and me to be at every single one

Because this sentence uses a linking verb, you want ‘Twilight and I’.

All three alicorns occupying the throne room to the newest alicorn of Equestria, Twilight Sparkle.

It feels like there is something missing in this sentence. Like… a verb.

There is also at least one instance of a tense issue present in the narrative.

Aside from mechanicals, there’s only one real critique I have for the narrative. This comes in the form of Cadance’s initial hesitance to acquiesce to Princess Celestia’s wish to play the game of thrones.

The reason for this is because it was explained later on that Cadance played it with Princess Celestia when she was young, and she was told how special it was to her. Because of this, I don’t exactly buy that she didn’t know that at the beginning of the story.

This was an otherwise very enjoyable piece, and I am happy to accept this story into the cafe.
