You are super old. How old? You don't know, but lately you've been feeling like your life has been coming to a close. You look towards your old broken pocket watch and begin wonder about the choices you've made and didn't make. Both having to do something with Granny Smith and an old broken pocket watch that seems to put a certain time stallion on edge.

Criticism Time!

First off, interesting concept. Second person Doctor is definitely different.

However, it has some problems.

1. You need to capitalize the first letter of every sentence.

2. Lots of awkward narration:

But did you really care about how old you were? No not really.

Lately you've been having nightmares, nightmares about a war. A war that for some reason you had participated in.

etc. etc.

3. Show versus Tell. A lot of it.

4. This story doesn't need to be anthro, just replace hands with hooves, etc. (if you prefer writing with human terms, it's fine, just doesn't seem necessary to me.)

5.

New studies have shown that dreams of death in any form could be a manifestation of a ponies regrets when of old age. this of course made you think. There was only two things that you really wanted to accomplish in your life. The first was reconciling with an old friend whom you used to know from a long time ago and second was opening up this blasted fob watch.

It just seems really weird, I'm not sure what's wrong with it, but it needs to be reworded. Also, what studies? Come on, this is not a high school essay!

6.

Can’t be because your the one who's living it.

Your should be you're

7.

As you opened the refrigerator you took out a water bottle.

Shouldn't it be after opening the fridge, not while?

8.

Two knocks. You recognized how many knocks and the tone of the pounding. “It’s Fleur.” You thought before telling her to come in.

I'm not even sure the Doctor can do that.

Overall, it was pretty good, interesting, and different from 80% of Doctor Whooves fanfics, so that's already a bonus. Just work out your grammar and narration (Do not tell the readers, show them. Especially in this 2nd person story.

Also why 2nd person?

Anyways, I liked it.

Huh. Not bad, not bad at all. You actually made me feel senile there for a few seconds...

3923981 Thank you. I've just edited some of it

you can just use italics for thoughts

good although not much happened in this chapter, but still good. I eagerly await the next chapter. To the TARDIS, so i can read it now... or should I say later.

Time to gripe over every grammatical problem I find!

Taking the mares hoof the stallion began

Should be "mare's" and there should be a comma after "hoof"

we’ve been waiting for you.” Said the stallion, he was wearing

After "you" should be a comma, not a period. "Said" should not be capitalized, there should be a period after "stallion", and "he" should be capitalized.

Actually, all of the words immediately following an end quotation mark should be not capitalized.

All of the periods at the end of a quotation, if it is not the end of the sentence, should be commas instead.

shook his head. “Am I dying?”

After "head" it should be a comma, not a period.

Fleurs frequent trips there.

Should have an apostrophe in "Fleurs"

it would be a good experience

Needs a period at the end.

is my assistant Derpy Hooves.

A comma after "assistant".

cutie mark permits them too.

Should be "to".

Other than that, good chapter! Oooh, it's going to be just like Pinkie Who, or the Curiosity Machine. Right?

Interesting, but the grammar needs work.

3937835 Yes it will be like both of those stories, also thanks for helping with my editing. Since I'm in need of an editor can I ask you to be one for this story? :pinkiehappy:

Sorry, but I don't have any free time:twilightsheepish:.
Thanks for the offer, though.

and the ( ) was your old friend Granny Smith.
Missing a word here

Hmm. Keep going.

Some errors:

"Wait, their are still questions I need to ask you."

Should be "there".

He is a fool of a Timelord who should have never been born.

Should be "Time Lord".

talk about my friends." The Doctor said now furious.

Should be "furiously" instead of "now furious".

Getting interesting. I hope you describe the new regeneration well, and compared old to new.

So, why is this chapter wedged between chapters 3 and 4?
