I could not help but notice a few flaws with your text. Not to be rude, but you should look over the text a few times before publishing it. Apart from that, great story and keep writing. It seems like you have a good plot.

Okay. It's time for a ShadowFall review. No, not the "Everything Wrong with Series", because this story doesn't deserve such. But, this fiction could really use pointers about what is done wrong and how to make it better.

First off, the story gives a bad impression from the Pony Creator cover art plastered onto it, and the description that might as well have told more than half the dang story. I mean, when someone reads that this "average colt" gets a bad life so suddenly, and is announced in the description, it's really just a slap in the face to readers, considering that's the first thing they usually look at for a story, and many people actually judge a fiction for their cover art. But it isn't to say that good stories never have bad or just average cover art, many do. However, it's practically a sin to create a story image with the "Pony Generator". It's lazy, it's unoriginal, and it sets a bad look for your OC, as readers first see him as just some drawing on a paper.

Would you like to know what I like? I like to visualize the OC as I read the story, instead of finding my mind repeatedly go back to that Pony Generator creation.

It's just bad.

But really, though the description and the cover art do make what attracts readers, I will still read this story, because that's where I believe is the content. A video game can have bad graphics, but still be incredibly fun to play. I still play some for the much older games, such as Majora's Mask, because it's so fun for me, thought the graphic would make many people throw up.

So, let's see what this story has to offer.

REVIEW, BEGIN!

"Mom, where are you?" I said stepping into the weird looking door. I step inside to find a white mare. " Mom!" I screamed, but then as she turned around all I saw was a bright light. "Mom?" I asked. Then a glow of light radiated from her body, "I love you Spirit.." she said "MOM, DON'T LEAVE ME! Then a Flash of white... " MOOOOOM!
BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP
"MOOOOOOOOM!" I cried as I stood up from my bed while smacking the crap of my alarm.
"It was just another dream" I said to myself.

Okay. Right out of the bat, this story makes a terrible first impression. The dream is cut so short, hardly given description, it's overly cliche'd, and basically tries to make the audience sympathize with the character. Well, it fails to do so, since this whole "bad dream" thing was done so short and poorly.

Right on cue my foster mother, Sun Flare came bursting into my room to find me broken down from a nightmare.
"Blue Spirit, did you have the same nightmare like always?" Sun Flare asked as she came up to my bed and sat down

What?! A nightmare like always?! What? I really can't believe that a character just said that. A much better choice would just be: Did you have another nightmare? If you really just acted out that sentence, as if she was talking to another living soul, it just makes her seem borderline to a jerk.

"Ughhhh, I hate mondays"

Okay, I noticed something. The punctuation in this story is very lacking. Sentences have missing periods, commas are forgotten in some locations, and it's a small error that is easy to fix.

"Ahhhhhhh, thaaaaat feeeeels soo goooood"

Last time I checked, this story did not have a "Sex" tag on it. A character would practically never say this out loud. Have him think this instead of him moaning out loud. Do you know how awkward that would sound if your foster mom heard that coming from the bathroom?

.I sat down at the table and started eating my pancakes.

Silly grammar, only larger punctuation like exclamation marks or question marks go at both ends of a sentence in Spanish.

She looked directly into my blue eyes and as I stared into her bright pink eyes I saw them flash crimson red for a moment. fear spread through out my body. Now she grining, and I was terrified.

Comma's missing, failed capitalization...

"Ok, first off, she didn't come to school for a whole week, now, she shows up at school looking very pale and then she doesn't talk to me, but when she look at me..... when she looked at me... her.. her pink eyes.. became crimson red with slits of a snake.... why did her eyes do that? Fear spread through out my whole body when her eyes did that.. could she be... could she be a VAMPONY?! Wait, I didn't see her fangs or maybe I didn't noticed them... meh maybe am just imaging things."

He suddenly comes to the conclusion she might be a vampony? That is a REALLY big assumption for anyone to make, and it seems you're trying to go for a character that finds logic in most things, no?


In all, this is just another dark OC fiction that has romantic elements in it, that offers very little innovation to story telling. Much work can be done with this, and this could be much better.

My final verdict is...

3.5/10

For:
-Painfully generic OC protagonist.
-Bad dream first impression.
-Numerous grammar mistakes from capitalization to punctuation.
-Bad dialogue
-Failure to incorporate proper "thought dialouge"
-Bad coverart and description

If the grammar mistakes were fixed and the cover art/description tuned, this would bump this up to a:

5.5/10

Much work can be done, and a much better story can be made.

And as always, good reading.

-ShadowFall

I like it I could be a great book with work right now 8/10

The plot is okay but the flow of your writting is a bit strange. You repeated yourself a lot and made miskates like 'the mare was watching him through the window with hunger eyes.' you either ment hungy or with hunger in her eyes. You could use a prereader or a beta of some sort. Over than that, good job. :)

I will try to update constantly since I Hate stories that are not completed or that their on hiatus or never updated but promised for an Update...... I WILL Finish this story

You don't know the half of it, buddy.

I really enjoy this story, but you need to work on your grammar and spelling.

For example "Sou"... should be "Sou-" because it was interupted.

So what kind of pony is Soul Chaser? You never explicitly described this, so I'd like to know. Is she an earth pony, pegasus or unicorn?

Wow. This was better than expected. Keep up the good work!

4377187 it....it was a joke......goddamnit mike. :facehoof: btw like the story so far. :twilightsmile:

4377712 Oh, I get it. Thanks by the way, i've been busy with school that I haven't been able to work on the story, I hope to get Chapter 3 by this weekend.

SLOW DOWN. Your rushing the story, and I think you need to think out and plan story before typing it up. I have a binder I keep with all my manuscripts in it, you should try something like that.

Other than that, I'm liking the story a lot. Keep up the good work :-) :twilightsmile:

Hows that end of May deadline coming along?
