I'm an old soul and I've told stories in one form or another for my entire life. Writing them down is a new experience for me and I hope to learn as much as I can about the art.
Gypsy has long traveled the lands of Equestria sharing the folk stories of the thestrals and now he's made his way to Ponyville.
Each chapter will feature a story and recipe for the sweets the characters share. They're simple slice of life stories that anyone can enjoy at any age.
This story takes place before the end of Season 4.

I can't help but picture how Gypsy's face must have looked with this in his face
Your characterization of Pinkie was spot on, good job!
Can't wait for more!

Thank you! She's so far outside of my comfort zone that I was terrified I'd get her wrong.

You did great, she had that spark of innocence and naivety without seeming clueless or unintelligent.
It was a pleasure to read.
I have to agree, your characterization of Pinkiepie was spot on. I would love to seem more stories from Gypsy.

Thank you so much. I've been really nervous about sharing my writing with such a wide audience, but you've all been so nice and the comments I've been getting are very supportive.
A new chapter is in the works and should be ready in the near future. I intend to feature a new Mane 6 character in each chapter (probably in addition to the ones he's already met) so there are at least six chapters worth of material in my head.
I'm grateful for any and all support that I get while this project is going on.
Yeah, I quite liked it.
Personally, I feel the story and the way the story was presented in the first chapter was better than the second. I think the stories Gypsy tells benefit from having a moral.
Otherwise, I quite like the concept. The idea of them crowding around this storyteller, with him telling and showing with magic at the same time. It has a sort of gentle 'mystique' to it, enhanced by the description of the image he makes.

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it! I've been trying to use stories that best explain the story telling process from the POV of the teller, which is why I used one without an actual moral since morality and emotion are important in the trade and I wanted to experiment with emotion this time.
I've been learning it for some time and it's actually pretty difficult for me to put it down in a format that feels right since no one can actually hear me tell the tales. Still, I'm thankful that people are enjoying it.
I think if you want to get more response from Gypsy's tales, especially emotional, you need to have him build up the characters. I felt the tale was about how death didn't have to be scary. I'd lengthen his stories a bit.

Noted! I will make a better effort next time. Thank you so much.
Hi Gypsy!
Sorry to be so far behind!
I've been pretty busy lately.
I really liked this chapter. You are still doing well with Pinkie, and Gypsy was as fascinating as ever! Your Twilight is rather adorable and her thought process in the morning was something I could easily see her doing. The story was nice, I do agree with Violet Frost that it would have benefitted from a little more length, but it's nothing unforgivable. Spike was nice, I think you've decidedly gone the more childlike route with him. I, personally, like that, I've had my fill of angst filled teenage Spike and I find your portrayal refreshing.
All in all, you and your story continue to impress.
I eagerly await your next chapter.
