Definitely gonna write the thing... tomorrow.

On her way to Fluttershy's house, Rainbow Dash crash lands into her friend, injuring her. In an attempt to make up for it, Dash tries to take care of Fluttershy and the animals. Fluttershy is left to sit back and trust Dash until she heals.

Tied for 4th in both judges' choice and readers' choice in the FlutterDash conflict contest.

Preread by my friend andygrey.

I didn't realize it before I started writing myself, but 4000 words for a contest is a good bit of writing. I think you did will with this one Writer(although you probably already knew of my opinion:twilightsheepish:).

Oh yea and I realized something really stupid. I was actually going to go vote for this when you announced that it had been submitted, but for some weird reason I couldn't find it on the group page, so I ended up deciding that one vote didn't matter anyway. I guess you could have had 3'rd place if I had actually found it.

That's okay. I wouldn't have wanted to win the vote by bringing in my followers, I wanted to win by way of my story bringing in the votes. Tied for 4th, one vote shy of being featured on the FlutterDash group page, is not too shabby for a first try. I beat RainbowBob for Pete's sake! Even if it's not his usual genre, that's still pretty awesome.

At some point, possibly very soon, I will be sending you the feedback I received from Kitsune Risu- who sent me a few messages- and Titanium Dragon- whom I have yet to respond to. We're going to tear this thing apart and build it back up. KR in particular was very helpful and courteous about the whole thing, even while I was stuck in "Oh I didn't win! I suck at writing! I'll just go quit!" mode. No wonder I was drawn to acting; I'm such a drama king sometimes. :facehoof:

That is a pretty snazzy-looking picture. Is it yours?

3273413 :rainbowlaugh: no, I can't draw to save my life

3275152
Aw, neither can I. I was just wondering why you picked that specific picture. For whatever reason, I think a much simpler picture of the two cuddling would fit better with the story.

3276112 I used it coz it was adorable :rainbowkiss: plus it is a picture of them cuddling

I like how Rainbow Dash looks in that one, but Flutters looks a bit... off. Just look at her cutie mark. The butterflies look like X's.

Three X's... Hm. Maybe that Fluttershy is a judge on Equestria's Got Talent :rainbowlaugh:

3276279 yeah your right, let me find a better one

3276744 put it as your story pic then :rainbowkiss:

I would need the artist's permission. Also, I'm not sure that would really go with my story. There's a bit too much going on in the story for me to really know what I would want to look for as a cover.

At this point, cover art for this story isn't a huge focus. I'm focusing right now on getting new stories out.

3279598 I have loads of fic ideas just stashed away in my mind, but I can never get them down on paper without messing them up :facehoof:

3280957
Psh, nobody can. My first drafts are usually pretty painful. When I get into a story, the ideas flow fairly easily, but the wording of things is extremely sloppy. I have to go back, think about what I was doing, and then edit it so that other people will know what the heck I'm talking about.

Just find a few good editors, especially ones that you can bounce ideas off of.

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwww...... That story was adorable! :heart::heart:

Thank you! Glad you liked it :pinkiehappy:

D'aww~! Very cute little story. <3

3491824
Thank you! That's what I was aiming for.

I'll send you the bill for all the insulin I need now! :trollestia:

3493109
No! I'm already broke! Can I just repay you in hugs instead?

Oh, shoot. That would probably make things worse.

>w< Works for me anyway! Yay hugs! :yay:

Hmm. I do love me some FlutterDash. Interesting story, here. Sorta reverses the old "Dash gets hurt, Fluttershy takes care of her, romance happens" cliché. Pretty good story, I thought. I can't think of much I found off-putting or that felt really out of place. I thought it was sorta odd that Flutters was still so awful at flying by the time Twilight becomes friends with all of them, since one of the things she does in the first two episodes is help carry Twilight after she falls off that cliff, but that's all I can think of. Other than that, it seems fine to me.

This is over a year old, and I don't really think it reflects my current level of writing skill. I could probably do a much better FlutterDash now if I tried. The issue is that I simply haven't had the motivation. I kind of burned out on the ship sometime after S4 began.

5747481
Yeah. Burnout is something I can understand.
