Hah, interested in seeing where this is going...
I like where this is going. First chapter's a bit short for my liking, but it should be fine if you keep a decent update schedule.
2647728 I usually try not to fuss over chapter length. Personally, I also find particularly long chapters to be off-putting. My average per-chapter length is about 1650 words. I do this so I can focus on story quality rather than on forcing the chapters to be long. It's just a silly little style quirk ^^
Dammit! Something to do with species swapping! Something new! Must favorite. Beep. Boop. I am now randomly a robot...

;D it's a bit more complicated than just "species swapping", but that is definitely a factor
2648234
I am interested. Beep boop.
This looks great! A very interesting story and convincing renditions of the characters. And I was just about to comment that I wanted more when you posted chapters 2 and 3. Keep it up!
Even a mare whose heart is pure,
and says her prayers by night,...
This is gonna be awesome.

And that, everypony, is how you win a fan.
This is a neat story. I'm rather fond of Sweetie Belle and Diamond Dogs in general. I'm intrigued as to where this is going to go.

Glad I have your interest ^^
Noticed you didn't have enough views on this story, plugged it in the IRC, hopefully that helps!
2664534 thanks I appreciate it
Hm, good work so far. Though each paragraph could use an extra space between each other so that it doesn't have the infamous "wall of text" feel.
2666264 do you think so? :/ hrm. Fimfiction uses a different formatting system than I do, so that's half the problem I suppose. I'll get on that when I get a free moment.
And here I was sure I knew where you were going. So the story is deeper than a simple werepony (actually it would be 'hrɔswulf' in the old tongue) story, but you've humanized...er...ponified(?) the 'monsters'... I am watching now with rapt interest.
2670436 actually, the word I'm using is "equinine" xD
I'm pretty sure none of the readers are even remotely surprised by this revelation. For being apparently such a huge deal, you didn't do a very good job of hiding it.
2675298 of course they're not surprised by this revelation! It's not like i was hiding it in the first place. I made it intentionally obvious.
Early on in the writing process I decided that there would be no point in trying to hide the fact that the only OC in the whole story was... well, spoilers aside. That alone makes it obvious.
I, too, am a fan of Diamond Dogs, and am so very happy to see that other folks are giving them some love. Some respectful love even. It takes some pressure off of me so I don't have to write so much on them.
2680716 COOPERATIVE DIAMOND DOG POWAH GOOOOOOOOOOOOO :D
So the real question becomes is Storm Spark another pony with the same condition or a Diamond Dog who got it the other way around?
So does Sweetie Belle turn into a wolf/lycan/dog or does she turn into a diamond dog?
so is she an equus lupas
Um you know there is a tag for The CMC as a group, right?
2855313 yup, I did. However, the story is more focused on Sweetie Belle than the CMCs as a whole, so I decided instead to just use the separate tags.
did anyone elce think of this in the last sentence?

Sorry, I've been on something of a hiatus... School and writer's block and whatnot. I do intend on finishing this story eventually, though.
ok I REALLY like this fic once I heard sparky and then storm spark I kinda thought they were the same person but awesome I'm on my IPhone so I can't tell how long it has been since you wrote that chapter but I'm just going to say I hope it comes out soon!
I LOVE IT PLZ MAKE MORE CHAPTERS SOON!!!!!!!!!
wait... are you still working on this story?
