I like to write, so I guess I should share some of it with the world

T

Magic, Kindness, Generosity, Laughter, Honesty, Loyalty. They're all gone, left. Rainbow Dash was the only one who really wanted for them to stay. Rainbow Dash blamed herself for it, but she knew it wasn't her fault. "Why wold this be happening?" Dash might never know. She was scared, and still is. Now she just sits by the old pond a few miles out of town thinking. She doesn't look back, she doesn't want to see a burning town.

Well... You have a good idea here, from my understanding. But there's a few issues that detract from enjoying the story: Mainly the pacing, and the way much of the dialogue and actual story progression feels very clunky. For example:

I was confused, why would Fluttershy do that, she never does that. I decided that Pinkie and I should talk to her, Pinkie was a little scared, but I was with her so she was okay at the time.

a slightly better way to phrase that might be something along the lines of:

I was extraordinarily baffled by this, why on Equestria would Fluttershy of all ponies do something like that?! It made no sense, Fluttershy was the Element of Kindness, pushing her friends into mud was most certainly not kind! I decided then and there to go and talk to Fluttershy with Pinkie. She was understandably more than mildly worried about it, but with me there her resolve kept true.

(just so you know, that's not how I'd phrase it, just in case you were thinking that)

We didn't happen to pop into the mind of Rainbow Dash one day and start on a sudden downward spiral, I assume? If so, you may wish to expound a tad on background, mundane details, descriptions, etc... The best advice I can really give? Read your work aloud, as it's written, and see if it sounds acceptable to your ear and your eye :twilightsmile:

3779857 Thank you. Yes I know I'm not that grate in chapter 1, but that will change with the coming chapter. This is my first ever fanfic so I do expect some flaws. Overall though, I will take your advise and make sure to improve somethings once the story is done. Thank you.:pinkiehappy:

:fluttercry: my animals!? pinkie would never do such a thing! :pinkiesad2: thanks flut-t-ters *sniff sniff* :raritydespair: IM SO SORRY RAINBOW DASH, IF I EVER DO THIS TO YOU, SLAP ME SO HARD!!!! :rainbowderp: what----

I really, really liked it. Can't wait for more... :raritystarry:

For your first fanfic, this was pretty awesome. ;)

3897815 Thank you :pinkiehappy: That means a lot :rainbowkiss:

3902288 So I assume you thought the ending was sad. Right?

I really enjoyed the fanfic, the only downside was that you rushed it too much. It is not about the destination in a story, its about the journey. Give us all the details of your stories as your write them, just because it makes sense to you does not mean we can make sense of it as well. For your future stories, I reccommend an editor and for you to take things slow.

4081055 Yes, I know. It was my first fan fic and I knew there would be some flaws. As of now, I'm working on a new story and it is still a work in process, it won't be done for some time now. Thank you for the advice and taking the time to read it.

4084766 I look forward to reading it then, do us proud!

Okay... now I'm lost. If Applejack is dead now then why is there killing? And why is this happening?

Beautiful. Inspiring. I think somewhere throughout this story I thought of another story idea. If you write any more books, I'll be reading them.
