Bravo my Friend!

Marvelous. :pinkiehappy: Great word choices.

4453415 Why thank you very much

Whoa, just whoa. My kudos to you, fellow writer.

4460274 Thank you very much :raritywink:

Very nice! You did an excellent job both setting the scene and making a point in a relatively short space. There are a couple technical and formatting issues, but nothing that took me out of the moment. Keep up the great work!

5237603 Thank you very much :pinkiehappy:

Ok, I haven't even read this yet and this is violating the contest rules. This is a RANDOM writtin contest! Not a sad contest! :facehoof:

5245640 I'm sorry I must have mischeck that. I'll delete it right now.

5247264 thank you! :3

5247412 Your welcome. Sorry about that, May I ask did you read the story?

5247630 not yet but I will sometime today. Last night I didn't really feel like it or really had the time to read anything.

Overall, it's a perfectly good one-shot focusing on sorrow and hope, but narrative like this:

To see her, now destroyed, home is what.

is annoying and clunky.

And there are quite a few repeated words and phrases that ruin the flow, too:

She could remember how she and her friends defeated Nightmare Moon

She smiled as Princess Celestia thanked her, and her friends, for saving her sister.

Ironing out problems like these would make it a smoother read.

You're welcome.

Not bad, not bad. Pretty good for a 1000 word oneshot.

There's a few things there that are a little clunky. Be careful with your clauses, especially your embedded ones as they don't quite work as well as they should. Keep changing up your vocabulary, a good rule to follow is never to have the same term of address twice. So instead of saying "She" all the time say "Twilight" or "the purple unicorn" or don't begin the sentence with the term of address. Just keep changing it up will make it much less, err, stop start if that's the right words to describe it.

Otherwise, pretty good. I got the sad vibe from the piece and the description was good.

Keep it up and I hope that helps.

5273782 Thank you. I will try to get the changes done soon and get it to go through another proof read too.

Sure, in fact, you can message me if you do. I'd be happy to take another look and help out if I can.

Pretty good. From a guy who regularly writes poignant serious pieces, I must comment you on this one. :)

Loved this story, a bittersweet, but beautiful, little read. :twilightsmile:

A GOOD STORY !!!!!!
