Melody is a unicorn from Scoltland, and she moved to Ponyville in hopes of a better life. Her parents had always been restrictive, and they have long since abandoned the ways of old magic. Melody was fascinated by the old magic books she had found in her grandmother's attic, and would spend hours reading them. When her parents found out what she had been doing, they forbade her from seeing her Grandmother any longer.
After exchanging many letters with her pen pal, Pinkie Pie, Melody decides its time she went to Ponyville. So she travels to Ponyville, and there she meets her pen pal, as well as Princess Twilight Sparkle. When she discovers the princess's arsenal of books on magic in her library, Melody decides to use the library to her advantage and study up on any old magic she can find.
As Melody delves into the world of magic, she comes closer to finding why she doesn't have her cutie mark. However, this leads her into something much bigger than she had ever imagined.

OMG! I need more. OK, I'm done with my rant. Very good story.
3777250 Haha glad you enjoyed it! I'm afraid this won't be getting more updates until I come up with a good story for it, however.
3777250 Hey I'll be adding more if you're interested!
You've got a nice base here. However, I have a few nitpicks.
1) Give Melody a bit more character development! Right now, I could honestly care less about because I don't know anything about her other than what's in the description. How about, before the story begins, you give us a short-ish conversation between her and another pony on the train? Make sure you don't make her into a Mary Sue, though. No one likes a Mary Sue.
2) How about a bit more meat to your paragraphs and overall story? We want to know everything (Within reason)! Almost every non-dialogue paragraph should be at least three lines to describe and area, sensation, and character and how Melody reacts to these foreign entities. I don't mean for you to write walls of text (unless necessary), just a bit more than a series of one-liners.
3) Adjectives are amazing. Use them more often in combination with indirect objects. It helps to get the reader more "into" a story. Here's an example:
No. Never write a sentence like that unless it's being said by a character and only then if it fits the character's personality and situation.
See? It sounds much better and it's much more interesting than a four word sentence, just don't try too hard.
4) I know you working on giving this a story, but when you begin writing something, you should have a general idea of what will happen. Just personal preference.
5) Don't stop writing once you've reached 1,000 words! A quality chapter has and average of 3-5K words. Only end a chapter if the story is at a receding point or if you want a cliffhanger.
Sorry if this sounds like I'm bagging on your story. I'm just trying to help you improve your writing. However, if you just skimmed the above text, Shame on you! I hope I've been able to help you and anyone else who has read this.
3851055 I did read all the text and it was very helpful! I'll polish this chapter once I get access to a computer (I'm on my phone at the moment). The next chapter will definitely be a lot better. Thank you for reading and giving me advice!

however, I will favorite to see how my advice has helped. Also, thank you for reading my wall of text. 
My god... I'm becoming an English Teacher...
Anyway, That's awesome that I finally found someone who actually edits their stories! Most "authors" on here just type up something just over 1k words and thinks it's the best story ever. Sorry, but at this time, I can't leave a like because I would be lying.
3851157 Hey I can't ignore good advice. I want my readers to read good quality work so this helps a lot! And I understand if you don't like it right away. I'm not expecting my story to be an instant hit
3851157 Hey! I gave my chapter a good polishing and I would like it if you could read it over and give me your opinion. You don't have to but I would appreciate it.

Holy Mother-bucking Celestia... Someone actually took my advice.
This is THE largest improvement in anything I've ever seen, and I aided in it.
I am dumbfounded at the increase in quality. In the beginning, I actually learned more about Melody and got a better taste of her personality. Your additions and descriptions have successfully engrossed me in the story while reading, which most authors struggle with. I only have one question...
When will there be moar?!
3855752 Haha be patient
