*Updated because me, being the idiot that I am, uploaded the competition version rather than the corrected version! By competition I mean the /fic/ write-off two on ponychan.

I like it. I really do. Poor pinkie....
Edited version was an improvement, just to let you know.
While my head canon is still trying to decide whether Octavia is Pinkie's sister or cousin, this was a good story, bravo sir, have a moustache
408604 Thanks, I put extra effort into this one, and it pains me that you were subjected to the vastly inferior, previous version.
407702 Thanks, I hope you'll give the updated version a read though, it really is better.
408672 One can never have too many moustaches. Thank you good sir,
I know the Octavia as Pinkie's sibling thing is a bit last season, but I'd recently read Silent Ponyville and it made perfect sense to me.

You're right, the updated version is a bit better. More moustaches for you
409250 Excellent, these moustaches are going straight into the college fund.

Until we have any kind of canon confirmation, I am perfectly willing to accept either assumption, and you told it quite well here
Right at the good part!
I feel bad for pinkie
but let us see If something good happens
409552 Thanks; it isn't explicitly debunked by canon, so I'm going to roll with it for now. It makes some kind of sense and they do look similar.
411497 ??? The good part?
Are you saying I should have mentioned the Gala more? 
Thank you for commenting, but would you care to elaborate? 
I like the part about the origin of Octavia. I also like how Pinkie references events that happen in the show. I don't understand what the italics are for but that is only a minor complaint. The ending was relatively sad but not crying sad.
423225 The first two sentences of the entire fic adress the italics.......
423225 424837 is right; I put in an author's note right at the start about that.
They were because Fimifiction doesn't do strikeout, and strikeout let me slip in a few darker references without compromising the story.

411850 oh your probably not making more are you
DANG!i wanted to know what would happen now...
.........
oh well!the world may neveR know!
While I was reading, I was trying to piece together a time-line of all these letters. Pinkie may not have been able to go see her in this amount of time but one, its better than never and two, she was a least trying. Poor Pinkie
Very good story. You be playin' with my emotions son.
Great job! Have a stache!
(For your college fund!)
This was an interesting read. Shame it was since completely obliterated by canon. I had read the theory about Octavia being one of Pinkie's sisters. It was a fun one, though it had already been disproved by the time I found it. The emotion in this story is real. You can feel the pain "Inky" goes through, constantly missing the one family member who still believed in her. You can feel Pinkie's misunderstanding. I liked this one, if it is a bit outdated. I think it has a place in my favorites.
