Wait... Pinkie becomes saddened that the sign nearly killed her friends because she hadn't fixed it? What, is she the carpenter now?
Eh whatevs ill just roll wit it.
You don't need to be a carpenter to be tasked with hiring some help or asking some friends to help you hold a sign up while you replace some rusty screws and bolts that're holding things together.
Pinkie just never got around to it. So she thinks it's her fault.
Well, ouch. That didn't sound good, and by the looks of it, this is not the first time someone's tried to Twilight.
Traumatizing stuff, right there.
I wonder how Celestia reacted when she first was told that her beloved student almost got poisoned to death. I imagine windows breaking from the force of her anger and her mane briefly turning to fire before she regains her composure.
This story looks good so far. I'll be sure to give it a go.
This story deserves more comments, likes and favorites. Way more.
I like what I'm seeing, and I want more, so here I go, adding to my story alerts and have an upvote while I am it!

I entirely agree, and not because I'm arrogant.
When I first started Taming the Rage, I got a ridiculously high number of likes and views and comments, like, we're talking massive. But now, me and Samantha have worked really hard on developing and cultivating this story, we have things done like, multiple chapters ahead of time in our heads and have our ideas locked in and just have to write them down. This is her very first ever listing of one of her works online and....this is all she gets? It's really unfair to her!
But, on a happier note, I'm really glad you like the story! It's going to get really awesome in the next few chapters, because we're gonna go somewhere that I haven't seen any other fanfic on this site go yet, aside from joking about it!

I'm with you all the way. This story is good, with nice grammar, spelling, punctuation and all that stuff, and the characters actually feel like characters with emotions and thoughts and the plot itself is pretty good too.
Compared to some of the, excuse my foul tongue, crap that is sometimes featured on the front page, this story is gold.
You can tell Samantha that at least one reader appreciates the work you guys have put into this story.
This is looking very good, and needs more attention.
And I'm surprised that with all her years Celestia hasn't learned a little CONSTANT VIGILANCE!
I also note that if they could tell the food was all poisoned, but not what kind of poison, there must be some kind of very general 'Detect Poison' spell. Which Twilight would probably benefit from knowing.

Oh, there's definitely a spell, don't get it twisted. But, when one lives in a society full of peace and prosperity and there hasn't been a war in....what, hundreds of years? One would not expect that any but the most paranoid and deceitful of nobles and royalty would have any need to cast a Detect Poison spell on their food before they eat it every morning.
As for Celestia remaining vigilant, she can't keep track of every little thing. This whole thing came out of left field thanks to a revelation later on in the story.
And this, I believe, is where I make an account just so I can post/respond to comments and such.
Hi peeps! I'm Samantha! Better known as Gadget Steelmare on Tumblr.

Thanks! Like I said in the Author's Note in the first chapter, Fire Soul is the mastermind behind the first few chapters, with just a little input from me. We'll see what you think when my stuff starts showing up.

Was more commenting that Twilight should probably learn that spell now (I understand that even though it happened once before she wouldn't want to believe it might happen again) and that Celestia would've been smarter to assume the rest of the set was in danger regardless of whether it was true or not. I mean, someone just paid massive amounts of money trying to poison one of them, then they almost had a close encounter with at least a half-ton of metal. I'm not saying her naivete is out of character, just that she'll probably be kicking herself for not giving all of them protection as soon as there was an obvious threat.
Hm. Floating Fortress? Pocket Plane Palace?
Altogether, it's... really a bad idea. She can't hide it, and they'll know they have a time limit. If they don't manage to just sabotage whatever it is, anyway. They'll be desperate, and desperate people do crazy things. Next logical step if they're in protective custody is kidnapping the little sisters to draw them out or bombing their houses at a distance.

Not really. The Cult of Harmony isn't outright malicious, they aren't even very crazy about this concept of having to kill the Bearers to force the Element to find a new one. Malicious acts aren't really their forte, at all, not to mention this is a very sudden act of desperation that Twilight hasn't let anypony in on, save for Celestia. Information might leak here and there, but the whole purpose of the secrecy is to hide the purpose of what's being built, and who it's going to belong to, and what it's going to be used for.
You came close though! I'd say....lukewarm on your guesses.
Can't wait to find out what Twilight's plan is! Also, there a couple of formatting derps; two italicizes and one bold are not correct, look for <i> and <b> and you'll find them.
3086586
Gah! I should have caught those when I was proofreading!
I've failed as a proofreader! My life is ruined! 
*commits Sudoku and gets crushed by numbers*
3093048its cool man, it's cool! Lifts the numbers and reanimates the guy. Now u can prevent other mistakes.

But I'm a girl. It's kinda in the name. Samantha.
Anyways, more comments! They make me feel like I'm actually good at something!
3109124
That's because you are, Samantha.
Now you know why the lack of readers upset me so, too!
My guess is Twilight is requesting a personal airship, in order to keep mobile. Fits the title. Military training is required in order to work with the Royal Guard crew.
I wonder if we'll be seeing an alternate path to Twilicorn in this story.

Well, she has let slip to Quick Cure that she's preparing something for a month. With her luck, he's one of the cultists. Or at least Cure will unwittingly inform them. There's that "Sun Diarch" comment, hmmhmm.
---
Also, if the sex in this story is graphic enough that you want to make separate chapters, I believe you need to give this fic a Mature rating or sequester the sexual chapters into an additional Mature story.
If not, I don't think T-rated "sex" or Sexy Discretion Shots require sex-free chapter versions.
And goodness, with the amount of crap you're heaping on our poor ponies (terrorism, psychopaths, assassination attempts) and the overall atmosphere of fear and paranoia, I think a Dark tag is warranted. In addition, a Gore tag for graphic violence.
3145238
Ah-hah! Correct on both guesses! This is an airship-centric story that's also an AU story that leads towards a different way of Twilight becoming an alicorn. Take note: this is a very different path, and Twilight's magic is beastly by the time she becomes an alicorn. In other words, she's even more potent than she already is in the show, and she knows how best to put it to use in tandem with her airship.
It's going to be so fun to write....!
As for Quick Cure, well....I'm not going to spoil that. I'm just going to leave that possibility out there. I will say this though: the 'Sun Diarch' comment was intentional~!
What you're saying about the sexual stuff is true though. Honestly I wasn't sure how to approach it, and I'm starting to think that it would be far, far simpler to just say 'screw it' and just leave the sex in there. Mostly because the more I think about it, the more I realize that the growing relationships in the story are going to be a major focus during downtime when they're in the air and on land, and sex whether you want to admit it or not is often a big part of relationships for most people. To try to cherry-pick the 'important' bits of bonding and character development from those sexual moments would be difficult if not impossible without making it just as offensive to those that have no interest in such a thing.
Sooooo yeah, I mostly went with Teen because I wasn't sure where I was going with that at first. You do make a very good point though, even if that content isn't here NOW doesn't mean I have any right to downplay what the story's actually going to be. So I'm gonna go fix that!
I don't really think the 'Gore' tag applies though. Hrm....well, actually I'll have to ponder on that one. There are some scenes later that are pretty dark, but not outright 'blaaaaah guts everywhere' kind of gory or anything.
3163537
Yeah, I don't know where the limit for "Gore" lies. Maybe you really need gorn-level gore for it to apply.
3164468
I would assume gore applies when I start writing things like 'Her blood rushed from the slice in her stomach while her hooves desperately grabbed for her spilling guts, frantically trying to keep a part of herself where it belonged' or something along those lines. Excessive bleeding perhaps doesn't count, but gore is more like....getting organs torn out or something like that, I would think, or being dismembered.
3172574
.....You're sort of forgetting something. I think the dark and gore tags might be applicable here. The dark tag at the very least (which you've already done). While it might not always be gory (or rarely ever, in fact), I think it might be worth thinking about in later chapters. I'm not gonna spoil anything for our readers, but I think you know what I'm talking about.
Woooooo~ Cryptic bullshit~
I am a totally normal pony with no twisted or violent thoughts in her head.
3191966
Hrm, you have a point. I DO love to be excessively descriptive sometimes, especially when it's so important! I suppose I should just throw it in as a precaution.
you sir are evil. you and your cliff hangers!! ugg... cant wait till the next chapter! great story!!
3387346
Actually, I'm just a procrastinating, writer's block'd sonuvabitch at the moment. Not quite evil, but almost there!
It's a shame this story has fallen under the radar so far.
How are you holding up?
3390924
Well, my writing mood is getting better, and some progress has been made on Chapter 5. But I've got Taming the Rage's sequel(s) to work on as well, along with this clopfic idea that's just too damn good to pass up on writing, so I'm keeping busy!
Thank you for asking though!
Hmmm, it seems that Twi is going to seriously kick some cultists' flanks in the future
I'd like to see this continued
If this story does not include "Badass Twilight", then I will be severely disappointed. Still going to like it either way! Great work so far!
4300998
Actually, there's going to be plenty of badass Twilight in this story! It's sort of an exploration into the kind of pony Twilight would become if she got into the same kind of profession as her brother. Well, sort of the same. Military and whatnot.
nice story so far, totally wasn't what i was expecting to run into when i started reading this, but i like these type of stories as well!
5337108
Glad to hear it! Been forever since I've updated it, but hey.
This isn't dead! Promise! I'm trying to poke Fire to keep writing, since he's got the only copy of Chapter 5 at the moment. And most of the ideas up until a certain point in the story.
Alright, I'm invested now. You're gonna have to finish this.
My money is on a set of six Harmony-powered giant robots that can fuse together.
"Come to think of it..."

Pinkie is having to be the voice of reason, here. Does anyone else find that odd?
Gaaahg! Cliffhangers! How I hate 'em!
