The CMC hear that they will be having a new teacher at school. They are as excited as everypony else when they hear the news. However, none of the class expected a certain oddity about him.

(my first fanfic, so any critics or grammatical errors pointed out will be welcomed)

I saw quite a few grammical errors so if you need a proofreader I could help you. and I did like the story and where it is going

3481112 If you really want to that would be great. Thanks

3481245 how should i get the pages to you

send me a pm with the link to the new chapters or we can do email

ok ill wait till then. what do you think of my profile pic

Curioser and curiouser, I have an oc who has a gray coat, but her mane is dark brown with red tips, red eyes too. She's a unicorn though, and has a cutie mark. I have picture of her on my deviant art. It ain't great but it's decent. Im in the process of writing fic with her at the moment. I have the first actual chapter written just got to type it up.

3481318 I swear that this is a coincidence then

3481305 its pretty cool, I think I've seen the pic before though

I actually looked up cupcakes mlp on bing and found that I was going to do pinkie with griffon wings and :pinkiecrazy: face

Well, at least its not an alicorn OC who is brother of Rainbow Dash, like many bad mlp OCs are. In fact, this is actually pretty good, by the sites standards.

I'd suggest checking out Ezn's guide (available by hovering your mouse cursor over the FAQ button). The examples on the basics of conversation grammar should be helpful.

"Quick" editing pass on this chapter. It's mostly the same errors over and over. Commas after end quotation marks, missing punctuation, sentence fragments that should be part of the previous sentence, and so on.

Edit: removed list from comment, due to Dayvanr's response and therefore no need to have it taking up such a huge chunk of space for anyone wishing to browse the comments :scootangel:

All of the corrections have been made. I also must say that I am disappointed with myself. While English isn't my get subject, I should have never made so many errors.
Are you an English teacher? You had a good eye spotting all of those.

Nope, not an English teacher. Just the result of trying to improve my own writing, as well as proofreading for others. The latter helped a lot with the former, as it meant noticing differences between my writing and theirs, and then looking it up to see which was right. Made especially good use of this site for looking up various grammar rules. The Word and Sentence Level box is quite handy.

When you get used to looking for errors in your own stuff, they tend to stand out more no matter what you're reading :twilightsheepish:

Hopefully fixing up the stuff gave you a good idea of what to look for in the other chapters, as well as helping you avoid those same mistakes in the future. :pinkiesmile:

It did, and I just finished looking through the other chapters and fixed them up. Thanks for your help. :pinkiehappy:

Has Twilight really met her match?!
".....must study harder!"
