I actually am a scientist!

I take it you liked it then?:pinkiehappy:
Being in the 'write-off' meant it didn't get its shot on the front page, so exposure was minimal (lack of a cover image doesn't help). I'm kind of surprised you found it at all! I keep meaning to go back and refresh it; maybe it would be worth resubmitting.

Yea it was pretty good, nothing compared to your other story but still, I say go for it.

I should probably start out by saying that I'm not the best at critiquing, but I'll try.

There's one word I could see that could see could be changed

It was only because Applebloom was looking in the right direction that she caught a glimpse of the pegasus' rainbow contrail at all, grabbing the others she hustled them into the shelter of a near-by bush.

I think that nearby is one word.

This sentence also stood out as being a bit awkward.

“Oh well, at least you won't have to carry much tinder back yourself!”

I think it might be something like "At least you won't have to carry it all back!"

As a Slice of Life story, everything checks out. Their interactions are true to character. And knowing from personal experience that pine sap is indeed flammable, when I heard they had covered them in it, I thought things were going to get very hairy very fast. Good thing Applebloom knows about fires.

Thank you, much appreciated.

Always nice to see a responsible Rainbow Dash for once.

Hey, it has to happen once in the multiverse, right?
This fic doesn't get much traffic -- do you mind if I ask how you found it? Was it a result of fimfic's layout changes?

I follow WASP and just decided to check out your other stuff. Must say it was a good choice.

"Girls, please, we already know we're not getting our 'argument' cutie marks," the cream filly said, putting a hoof over each of the other ponies' mouths. "I think we're far enough away from Ponyville now. Let's see it, Sweetie."

:applecry: Somepony stole mah accent.......

Oh lord. You know I wrote this bloody ages ago, right? It was for one of those writing competitions, and I've never gone back to it?
Thank you; I will take a look, with some trepidation.
