You can't give up your laughter 'cause you're scared of a little pain; rainbows won't up the sky unless you let it rain. —Autumn Blaze
We all know his catch phrase, but what else do we really know about Bulk Biceps? What does he have to say for himself? There's always more than meets the eye.

The ponies are intimidated by Bulky Biceps and steroids!?!
Interesting...
He's such a nice guy. Someone ship him immediately!
Sucks that it did not make the cut. It was good though.
4595465 It's all good. It wasn't that he didn't like it, it's just that the story isn't "not important to the character" enough. The goal of The Album is for each chapter to be a simple snapshot of the character's life that can be easily overlooked (if I interpreted it properly). Not so much the case with this.
Man I have been gone for a while. Didn't even know you were writing this one.
Good job man, even if it wasn't what the guy was looking for.
Short, sweet, to the point, and develops a character that needs more love. Have a ribbon:

Great fic. Now we need a sequel involving the Equestria Games arc.
Like, fav and added to my recommendation group.
4791145 Doubtful.
I have a few other stories I want to finish first, and school's a-startin' up again, which will damper my writing time. Maybe in the distant future, but I'll have to see. 
Wow, this is really good! I never thought about Scootaloo and Bulk Biceps' relations with the wings. That's really creative!!

BULK BICEPS AND FLUTTERSHY

The story is simple and quick, I like that, good job.
PS: This made me remember this image
And now I have a mental image of Scootaloo covered in slabs of muscle...
Somepony is gonna need a training montage. 
6069654 No montage, but how about this?

I wrote a review of this story!
It can be found here.
6287405 I can't say I agree whole-heartedly with your review (though by Royal Guard standards, I would understand— I honestly don't even remember submitting it, and if I did, I don't think I should have), especially considering 1) the rating it had beforehand along with the positive comments (including a ribbon from TL), and 2) the original purpose of the story. However, I got the PM, and I appreciate the input.

You're welcome.
Good luck with your stuff in the future!
I have one of your other stories on my personal reading list, but I've been putting off reading it because it is on hiatus.
It looks interesting, though.
6288461 Well, since I only have two stories on hiatus, and one is an all-OC story, I'm guessing you mean A Daughter and Her Dragon. Believe me, I want to continue with that one as well, but I'm trying to finish my other story first. It will likely take a while before DaD is finished, given my current schedule with life, but you're right in holding off. The earlier chapters are going to get re-edited, and it will probably be more fun to read the story straight through 1) in its (hopefully) best form, and 2) without a huge gap period.
Thanks for the interest!

Incidentally, WRT: submission:
We've had a few folks note that they didn't remember submitting their stories. I'm not sure if this is because someone else submitted it in their name, or because they were submitted so long ago - according to our records, this story was submitted to us in December of last year, far before my time in the group. The Royal Guard had a bit of a crisis in December/January, and really only started pulling itself back together in July under new leadership. So we're presently going through all the stories which had been submitted in the interval between like, November of last year and today. Presently we're in December/January.
You don't have any other stories recorded as being in queue right now. If you want to submit something else, feel free!
6288495 Understandable. Considering that I read that RG stories were supposed to be "new," since I published the story in June of last year, if it was submitted in December, I have a feeling someone else submitted it for me— I wouldn't have waited that long (I guess it says something in itself that someone else submitted it on my behalf, huh?).
If you guys are indeed looking at stories that far past their publishing dates, then maybe I will submit another one that's fairly recent and got a good response... I guess we'll just see how it goes.

This review is brought to you by the group 'A for Effort.'
Name of the story: More Than Muscle
Total score out of 10: 8
Pros: As a whole, this story is an interesting look into Bulk's mind, a character that has received little, if any attention. The use of a psychiatrist is a wonderful way to give exposition and backstory without it feeling forced, nice job there.
Relating his condition to Scootaloo only increased the idea of his isolation, thinking of how Scootaloo has had to deal with her own disability. She, at least, has a few friends to comfort here though. Also, side note, points for making me think of a buff chicken wing.
Relating to Bulk isn't the easiest, but what really sold me was the bit about other people telling you what you should, or should not do. That is truly one of the most annoying things in existence, and I can completely sympathize.
Cons: Grammar was nearly perfect, really... no surprise there. The conversation back and forth between the psychiatrist was relatively fluid and I didn't have an issue picturing it. The only part that pulled me away was when Bulk started talking to himself. It didn't quite feel organic and was really the only sour grape in an otherwise lovely word salad.
To summarize: This story was a short and sweet introspective piece. The pacing was nice and steady, the grammar nearly flawless and the issues generally relatable to the reader, or at least to me. While the prose wasn't perfect, the story was interesting from start to finish, and for that, I'd tip my hat to you, Dashy... if I had one
Fuller review here, but in brief: a simple, quiet scene that has a nice canon tie-in -- but one which doesn't really have much meat on the bones.
An oddball ghost happened across your fic and read it. Have a review!
