Hello! I'm a fellow brony wandering through the strange path of life writing bad stories and watching My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.

T

Time Turner has fallen in love with Derpy. Does she feel the same way? Is he going to tell her? What if she says no? Will Henry get in Time's way? Why does Henry want Derpy as well? Does he even like her?

*Author's note: well um....there's a sequel in case you didn't know it's called Derp's Time. If you want to read it...

Hi! I'm a pretty new writer myself (Only one story), and though I'm pretty sure I'm in no place to give a really proper critique, I know I'm desperate for feed back and I wanted to just throw in a little constructive criticism. It's what I would of wanted at least.
There is a bit of trouble with the pacing of the story, which is mostly due to the frequent, short paragraphs, and its very disorienting. It's because this story is dialogue driven, with little to no description of actions or scenery, that everything is in a sort of rushed pace and why the sentences are so short. Throw in just a little tidbit of action with the dialogue and a blink of the scenery and it will dramatically slow the speed of this story, taking it from a blinding, pedal-to-the-metal pace, to a smooth cruise so I can enjoy what is going on at the moment in the story.
Another, more apparent mole on your story is that you are telling me this is that and that is this. The entire story happens on the page and I can't really picture it in my head. It probably all comes together in your head, but for the reader, you got to show us the evidence, and let logic lead us to the conclusion. For instance: "Derpy's wings and front arms were tied behind her back with a rope controlled by a pulley which the unicorn has control over. Under her were razor sharp needles, the point soaked with a rattlesnake's venom." could be improved by being more subtle, "Derpy struggled in her binds, swaying back and forth over a pit of long, thin needles, each tipped with a foul green ooze. Her suspending rope trailed up through a rusted pulley, and back down to an arrest in a charcoal black glow by the unicorn's madly grinning face." It's not, of course, the way to do it, but just the way I would have put it. What is most important here is that I never said he was dangling Derpy over the needles, but that Derpy was over a pit, a rope held her there, and the bad guy was holding the other end. You can easily understand what's being implied, but you're given enough room to imagine the scene in your own head. It's forcing the reader to think because the story isn't told to them, so as they connect the dots themselves, they are forced to imagine the scene as they mentally put it together.
I hope I don't come off too obnoxious with all this, I do get the overall feel of your story, I just want to see you and your stories succeed. When I am feeling down about my writing, I enjoy reading green artist's stories because it reminds me it's a process and I shouldn't feel down about producing some rotten eggs. From a noob to another, my advice is just to remember that the perfect story isn't made in one single action, but in many, many, many revisions and edits done over an extended period of time. Good luck with your next update and I'll be watching for that inevitable improvement. :trollestia:

Little known fact. His official name is now Dr. Hooves. Just notifying you.

3050452 I know about his name its just I don't know much about Dr. Who so I revised it

3050452 hate to be like this but its whooves:derpytongue2:

i think, if the story would had have Moore Details, it could be a pretty gold and adventurous story. :D
but i linke it so far, except the part where her verlaufenden ngs suddenly switched over Tod timer.... this was kinda unrealistic. :/

3185664 I know, but I think it would help the reader understand so far what Time Turner is doing :twilightsheepish:

Oh god, just realized what i really wrote. Dumb auto correction!
What i meant to say, was that the story would be way better, if it got more details. But I like it so far, except the part, where derpy changed her feelings... This was kinda unrealistic. Not my type.
