I just recently started to write stories directly towards the FiM actively, though I have been writing for years, publishing numerous stories at Mibba and the eventual pony story, as far as to the MLP

I had a set of enchanted silver rings forged. I have the matching sets of rubber Boots molded. That's the required equipment, or components.
I had chosen the Unicorn, knowing she would go for the lure. I guess it is mainly a matter of vanity. A silver ring for your horn is a precious jewel, isn't it.

You might want to run a basic spell-check. You can do this in Microsoft Word, or if you don't have access to that, Google Docs is free. There are too many grammatical and spelling errors to list individually here, but either of those should underline most of your problems in bright, easy-to-spot colors.
3952702 Sorry, M$ is turning too exclusive for me.
I'm using Open Ofice, and a 'spellcheckplus.com', I guess they're not perfect, even when using one after the other? From time to time, I do even use a Dictionary for further refference.
Next step would be asking for an Editor, which should pick up on a few more problems.
the main problem with automated programs is that they miss too much, while asking pointless questions over and over. besides, we're taling Equestrian English here.
I hope you still managed to enjoy the story, even despirte the mentioned problems.
This story is very... muddy. Tenses don't match, non sequiturs abound, and I'm sorry, no prestigious university would give up a lab and staff after one phone call to someone they don't know and isn't affiliated with the university.
*sigh* Will continue to read, but you might want to pick up an editor sometime. The idea is good, but the execution is not.
5004167 sorry, I did not quite pick up on the first line, aside from the mud, was it?
I am not expert on University practices, but I guess I could ask a few friends who are considerably closer to the field.
There is a small hint, if elaborated in the right way, I could make a connection, but this would be in a later chapter.
I wouldn't mind it, if there is an Editor that is both interested and have time enough to help me out, even if it is only a weekly PM.
You by chance know of an Editor, or could consider helping, even if it is on a temporary basis?
Aside from the Tenses and the University practices, is there anything specific you could point at?
5005703 When I said the story was muddy, I meant that trying to figure out what was going on was like looking into a muddy stream- you know there are fish in there, it's just hard to see through all the silt. Likewise, I know there's a story here, it's just hard to see it as it's confusingly portrayed.
I'm afraid I must decline, flattered as I am that you would want me. (I am a nitpicking grammar Nazi, after all.
) There are a few groups on fimfiction for connecting editors and writers, though, like Editors-R-Us.
All of my fanfics are edited by my roommate, so I don't use an editor from the web, but this is a good group to go to if you'd prefer not to have it edited by someone you know in real life.
Oh, and, um, Open Office? I remember having a class in a school computer lab that ran that, and everyone hated it. It didn't work with any of the other school computers, or any of the programs we worked with on our own devices, and it continually insisted my last name was a spelling error! Thankfully my school provides us with MS, but if I can't use it for something I usually use Google docs.
The nice thing about google docs is, when you do get an editor, you can share it so that both of you have access to it online. Fimfiction even has a direct download option, so you don't even have to copy/paste, fimfiction can take the google document directly and input it for you.
5005773 I think I get what you said about the muddy.
If you are anywhere nearly as acomplished as you are picky, you probably could have been a good help to me, though I can accept you declining the the offer. I need someone who are genuinely interested in the story.
I have seen quite a few of them and attempted to enlist Editors on some of them. Sadly I did not get any positive reactions, even if I may have gotten a response, even if some were 'Interested', but none has contributed to any of the stories yet.
I had one or two who were kind enough to help me with a story or two, but have seen nothing from anyone for a good while now.
The groups were easier, while the notifications were active, which isn't the case right now?
I chose it, because it is free and available. Even if the Spell-Check is just that and nothing more.
My experience with M$ and similiar Word is out of date, to put it mildly. I am currently learning to use Google, both Doc and Translate, with some improvement I think.
I mainly use Grammarly's free version for the grammatical checkup at the moment.
These are valid reasons. If and when I finally do get an Editor again, I will publish the stories for them to have direct access to the story of choice.
I still need the copy/paste in order for a second oppinion on grammar and spelling at the moment.
