:rainbowdetermined2: If you like it put :rainbowkiss:, If you don't put :rainbowwild:, and if you just think it needs some work put :duck:

-:heart::derpytongue2:

:rainbowdetermined2:, So what'd ya think? Yay:rainbowkiss: or nay (pun intended):rainbowwild:

-:heart::derpytongue2:

:rainbowdetermined2:Sorry if these chapters are a little too short.:ajsleepy::twilightsheepish::fluttercry::rainbowwild:

-:heart::derpytongue2:

:rainbowdetermined2:Hmmm:trixieshiftleft::trixieshiftright: light bulb.

-:heart::derpytongue2:

:rainbowdetermined2: So what do you think?:ajsmug:

-:heart::derpytongue2:

:rainbowdetermined2:OK last regular chapter, there's still an epilogue

-:heart::derpytongue2:

I apologise for not putting faces in this as I need to cut to the chase on this one.
Firstly, your punctuation needs some serious work. It ranges from being correct to incorrect with 'said' capitalised in the wrong places and your full stops or commas to end some of your sentences are non-existent. If a character is being addressed in speech, put a comma before their name.
Also for words that are meant to signify sound, put them in italics and not speech marks.
Secondly, why you chose to colour the names of the characters to signify their coats evades my understanding as this clarification is not only jarring, but needless.

My advice for future stories: flesh out your chapters, use a word document or ask someone for help. If you can't write without error, get an editor or a second opinion.

I understand that this is your first story, but the the execution makes me think that this is a troll-fic. If it is not, I am very sorry that it came across that way to me. I understand the pressure that new authors feel when publishing their work. People who downvote stories sometimes don't give reasons why. I have given my reasons and I hope they have been helpful. Good luck in any future stories you write.

I think this gave me epilepsy... and AIDS.

I don't want to be that guy (as I agree with you entirely), but I think your "Yes" example kind of sucked, too.

I think I'm going just to do small chapters, but multiple one's each time.

A little tip: chapters should very rarely be shorter than 1k words, that's pretty much a preferred minimum.

How someone can have nine chapters and only one thousand four hundred and forty three words is beyond me...

"Really, cause I think we've already won" Then twilight stabbed spitfire in her heart... fucking hell that escalated quickly

4187024 Well, at least you liked it a little. :rainbowkiss:

-:heart::derpytongue2:

"Dash" needs to be capitalized.

4187545 Is "it wasn't good, please improve" a valid answer?

You could read other stories, books, guides on writing. I don't know, just make sure to improve.

This person screams troll if their freaky looking avatar doesn't then their story does.

this.....this kills brain cells

1. I drew the avatar :ajbemused:
2.Sorry, but this is the first whole story I've written, every thing else that I've written is just a story outline, nothing more. :facehoof:

-:heart::derpytongue2:

4187673 Sorry to say, but this is what I would consider story outline.

:duck: I agree with the others, this needs expanded a lot.
When I write a quick story outline before I forget the idea, it looks alot like this before I go back and flesh things out. The counter on the right side of the index should be reading 1000 or more by the time you finish a chapter. (about 5-7 pages)
Check out some of the stuff in groups like "Writing Gold" in the "groups" button on the site page headers. There's a list on the right-hoof side of reccomended groups.:rainbowdetermined2:

A first story will be why a story is subpar, or has plotholes. It does not excuse something that is unfinished, or simply terrible. Don't hide behind your first work, embrace that fact and make sure it is ready to be published, that way you give a good first impression.

4188335 Yeah, I know, when I get better at writing stories I'll rewrite it. So please stop the negative comments until I announce that I rewrote it.:ajbemused:

-:heart::derpytongue2:

How the hell does a story with 9 chapters have a total word count of less than 2k words?

4187592 If you didn't like it then why do you keep commenting on it? If you want I can delete it so no one has to suffer through it ever again, or I can improve it one day. But you have to understand that I need practice, not negativity.:fluttercry::ajsleepy::facehoof::raritycry:

-:heart::derpytongue2:

Decided to read it, just to see why it's so bad.

Why? I couldn't get past the first chapter.:facehoof: The story needs editing badly, try writing on a word document it will help. Then get someone to proof read before you post anything. I made the same mistake myself, also im sorry people are being so cruel. It's not right to be mean, but helpful criticism is a must. There are writing guides on the site that you can read, there long but helpful.:eeyup:

4190217 Thank you for your support :pinkiesad2:. I asked some people on monsterhighdolls.com because they're nicer, so let's see their suggestions. How come no one talks about the story plot though, it's always on how I wrote it, not the story itself. Now I'm going to take it down for a little while, will that make every one feel better?

-:heart::derpytongue2:

Tell me how you like it now. I still have to rewrite the rest of the story though.:scootangel:
P.S. Sorry that it's still kinda short, but at least I went into a little more detail.

-:heart::derpytongue2:

Well, you still need to work on grammar.

Also, try to make longer, more in-depth paragraphs. It's much better than writing these really short ones.

And it still comes off as rushed, I'd recommend you flesh it out. Nonetheless, this is an improvement.

As I said, you need to flesh things out. The current chapters are way too compressed and short to really evoke any satisfaction out of the reader.

Other than that: The grammar needs work, and that's about it as far as I can see...

10/10 art
better than Mozart

Well the story itself is great, but I have to say that maybe a bit more detail would do your story a little help, trust me I'm currently writing my first fanfic so I kinda know where you're coming from :derpytongue2:

Here I Go… Again...

It was a beautiful Monday morning in Equestria, the sun was shinning, and everypony was happy.

Good thing I’m not a pony, otherwise I’d be forced to live in the delusion that I thought this story was any good. But continue telling me about how this day is going to go anyway.

"Special delivery" yelled the mail pony.

"What's this," said Rainbow "I GOT IN".

What’d you get into, Rainbow? Not sure? Neither am I. It’s not like it’s in the title or anything. Though you could tell us, Mr. Writer and it would help us to figure something out.

Rainbow Dash was especially happy, she got letter from the Wonderbolts that said she was accepted into the team, so she was off to Twilight' s library.
On her way there she flipped and twirled through the air with excitement and almost did a few sonic rainbooms.

Now, I know that she’s excited and all, but you could you let us know what was exactly said in the letter? No? I thought so...

When she got there she was about to knock on the door, only for the door to burst open so she could be greeted by Pinkie.

Now hold on there, I know what’s coming and every writer is guilty of it bu-

"HidashiemypinkiesencetoldmethatsomponiesdreamcametruesoItoldeveryponytocomeherewhileIsetupaparty" said Pinkie rapidly as she popped out of nowhere.

Well, I can’t say that I’ve never done this before, so I’ll give you that much room. But I intend to fix any issue with this. Pinkie is random, but not so much like this. She’s matured! So, if you do rewrite this please show us her progression. Or just put as little effort as possible to explain the unexplainable like you did here.

"She just barged in here setting up this party up without my permission" said Twilight, as she prepared a piece of cake for Rainbow.

Okay, first off. Twilight, this library belongs to Ponyville. Now let me go get my Gary Stu fighters to teach you a lesson in respect for the fellow pony.

Second of all. She’s done it before and all you can say is,

But whatever, not like I’m writing this story or anypony is OOC… Continuing on.

"Thanks everypony, you guys are the best, now who wants to see the good news" said Rainbow as she took the plate from Twilight.
"WE DO" said everypony.

I Don’t.

"I'M A WONDERBOLT NOW" Said Rainbow holding up the letter.

encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRca-9hhYFYT7oCZLM0OdBsRSfsEcwW_7vP0zrZQPQ12XTEW7dyKw

Never figured that one out. Nor do I know why this had to be bolded. An exclamation point, a question mark, a period, or just anyone of these things would really help this story during it’s laughable dialogue sequences.

"Congratulations ,Rainbow" said Twilight.

At least you attempted to put in a comma though. Congrats, Author.

"So when's yer first show" said AJ as she patted Rainbow on the back.
"Tomorrow in Canterlot" said Rainbow as she thew away the plate.

thew

Yeah, that is miniscule and I might be called a nit picker, but would you rather me miss such an obvious thing. I thought not.

"Then let's start getting ready with costume measurements" said Rarity, "then I'll do your make-up early tomorrow morning".

"Fine," said Rainbow as Rarity used her magic to carry her out the door.

Now hold up! Rarity can’t be that stupid! Damn… The Wonderbolts probably get fitted by real triple A shit. Rarity might be good, but what’s better than an official uniform?! Dammit, Rarity! Get with the times! Now back to the story...

"Can you put me down now," said Rainbow as Rarity walked out the door.

"Sorry," said Rarity "now what color do you want your uniform to be, sequins or bedazzling, embroidery or fabric patches, how ab-,"

"Let me stop you there," said Rainbow as she put a hoof to Rarity's mouth "I just want a blue bodysuit with yellow trim and goggles, understood,". Then she let go of Rarity and took her hoof away from Rarity's mouth.

"We have reached are destination," said Rarity.

Grammar is needed, but other than that and the Rarity Sex Dungeon that may be waiting for our Rainbow Heroine. I see not too much to bitch about. Lucky for you, Mr. Author.

"Stand right there while I get the tape measure," said Rarity.

As Rarity measured, Rainbow couldn't stay still.

Only one reason why she couldn’t stay still.

Or that may have been what Rarity was fiddling with… Who knows.

"Stay still Rainbow Dash" said Rarity as she tried to get a clear measurement.

"Sorry, but I don't like other ponies touching me" said Rainbow.

I don’t like other people touching me either.

"Done, you can move now" said Rarity as she wrote down the measurements and made a pattern for the uniform.

"Finally" said Rainbow, stretching out her wings.

"Your costume will be ready tomorrow" said Rarity.

"Your costume will be ready tomorrow" said Rarity.

BULLSHIT! But continue where she left off Rainbow.

"OK" said Rainbow.

When she walked out the door, she was immediately greeted by Fluttershy.

"Uh, Rainbow, do you want a song for me to play for you tomorrow" said Fluttershy

"Sure" replied Rainbow.

On the way there they had a little conversation.

"So why do you want to be a Wonderbolt" asked Fluttershy.

Because she has never told you before, Fluttershy.

"When I was just a little filly I went to a Wonderbolts show, and I loved it, they became my heroes," replied Rainbow "Then I did a sonic rainboom and because I was the first pony to ever do one, then I thought, hey I might be Wonderbolts material, so I trained hard through the rest of my childhood until I became the best flyer in all of Equestria".

Well, I was going to just quote the rest with improvement on grammar, but this chapter felt the need to throw more shit in to try and make us keep reading. Thanks Filler.

"That's so inspirational" said Fluttershy.

"Thanks dude" replied Rainbow.

"We're here" said Fluttershy.

"Are you sure that this is really necessary ,Fluttershy" said Rainbow.

It’s not MLP without a damn song. Rainbow, you should know this.

"Yes, absolutely, now which song do you like" she responded

After a hour of listening to birds chirp, she chose one called "A-W-E-S-O-M-E".

Seductive shy best make it absolutely work out for the night. Also, Ninjago references for some reason? Why? What the fuck?! Anyway… I’m pretty much done. Here we go, two lines!

"Well, I better be going, bye, Fluttershy" said Rainbow.

"Bye, Rainbow" replied Fluttershy.

I better be going too guys, at least there isn’t a second chap-

Well, that’s my rating. Now, there are plenty of ways to fix this fic. Give it better dialogue, improve the grammar, make the characters not be so bland. It kinda grates after a little bit of reading and makes me want to stop at all costs. But it could be improved many ways further than what it is. I would love a rewrite in high quality.

4202389 I thought that the song would fit Rainbow Dash because she likes any thing awesome and I love Ninjago.:scootangel: Your comment made my laugh by the way.

-:heart::derpytongue2:

4201944 Is that sarcasm, because I'm on regular KINDLE Fire, so I have no camera, just a drawing app that I suck at because I'm much better at drawing with a pencil and paper.:unsuresweetie::trixieshiftright::applejackunsure::duck:

-:heart::derpytongue2:

So how would you guys like it if I gave Derpy a cameo in all my stories?:derpyderp1::derpyderp2::derpytongue2:

-:heart::derpytongue2:

4202673
no why would it be sarcasm

your art is beautiful with utmost grace

i envy it

4203353 Then you should see how I draw with a pencil and paper.:pinkiehappy::scootangel::raritystarry:

-:heart::derpytongue2:

It's a great story, I'm not going to comment negatively on it seeing as I think you may be getting tired of them but putting that aside it's a pretty awesome story I liked it :pinkiehappy:

4207319 Thanks, sorry that it's still kinda short, but I was working off of what I at first. I'm working on my next story already and Derpy's getting another cameo.:derpyderp1:

-:heart::derpytongue2:

I liked the idea behind this but it needed a lot more fleshing out and there were some spelling errors ect. But other than that this has the potential for a good story.:twilightsmile: Like you said, once you improve your skills you can always come back and flesh this out a bit more. Don't worry' bout the negative comments if the people aren't giving a legit excuse. I've only just started as well and my story probably needs improvement. :pinkiehappy:
