4716076 Thank you so much! I'm glad this lived up to your expectations!
And actually I kinda just decided to make two more sequels.
4716079
SQUEEEEE!!!
4716569
I'm glad you're excited!
Why exactly do you like this so much?
4716574
Well... *considers* Luna is my favorite pony for one I guess. I enjoy stories that really touch into her psyche. Also your writing really draws me into the story which I love. It's a gift not many writers have. You seem to be able to truly bring out who Luna was and is and I admire and appreciate that. I've been told I have the same gift so I like to meet people who have it as well.
4716592 Wow, thank you! Luna is my favorite pony as well. And your writing definitely draws the reader in.
This one was able to get that tear out...
4729880 In a good way, I hope?
4730091
Without a doubt.
I wish I could write like this...
(Click the black thing, just in case you don't know.)
4730142 Thanks! And I know to click the black thing except since I'm on my phone I have to copy it into my notes.
And as to what you said under the black thing, you flatter me. Way too much!
4730163
But it's true!
The best I have written is "Vinyl's Night Out", and that is not all that great...
4730232 I just read it, and it is really good! Even though the drunken talk got a little strange at times, but still worth a fave.
I'd give you tips on how I write, but I don't actually know.
4730292
The drunk talk is where it really killed me...
Thanks for the fave!
4730319 You're welcome! And you really should give yourself more credit.
4730328
People always tell me that.
I'll admit that I'm not the worst writer, but I am far from good.
4730385 You are good! In fact I would think that I am far from good not you.
4730390
It seems we have reached an impasse...
4730908 True...
THIS IS. THE. WORST. POSSIBLE. THING.

4731001 Something wrong darling?
4731013
No, I'm fine.
Why?
4731039 Just not sure what was so funny.
4731047
Thats what is funny...
4731081 Ah, okay.
Okay, your writing is fine. No arguments there. However, there is one thing that strikes me curious. Seeing as Luna is now technically Nightmare Moon here, you'd think there would be a bit of resentfulness in her monologuing. I mean it is a tragedy due to misunderstanding, no doubt there, but still you'd think she'd be unable to see it.
4799467 I see what you are saying, but I wrote it the way I did because in the first story I made it seem as if Luna knew what was going to happen. Therefore, she wouldn't be restless so much as blaming herself, and feeling regretful for what she'd done. Just my opinion.
This is good. You very well convey and make plausible the mixed feelings Luna has for Celestia at this point. We know she loves Celestia -- and we also know she must have resented her, to rebel against her in the first place.
In my fanon, they led the resistance against Discord for a thousand years, helping to preserve the few centers of civilization (such as the Crystal City, Derecho and Lith) which had the magical might to hold out against him, before they finally gained the Elements and defeated him. Then they fought for five hundred years to unify Equestria.
Celestia was the Princess of Peace, and Luna of War. They played a soft-hard social game with those who opposed them for five centuries. What this meant was that Luna led the Equestrian armies and had the hard, dirty job of fighting against foes who were often other Ponies, while Celestia had the jobs of administration, diplomacy and politics.
Luna's best friends were usually found among her officers, soldiers who fought and often were maimed or died for her -- and she had to mourn them and yet remain strong to lead the others. And when she won a war, a generation or two would see the war remembered only by the elderly, and another generation or two would see it forgotten by living Ponies.
The more successful Luna was, the less other Ponies appreciated her. In times of peace, she was a strange, grim and frightening figure, often behaving strangely due to accumulated emotional stress. Ponies enjoyed the peace and prosperity she fought and lost her blood and the lives of her most beloved friends to win; and they rejected her as dark and uncanny.
And they sung hymns to her sister.
That had to hurt.
5456837 I've thought about it kind of like that myself...
5456852
In a way it's a microcosm of the general social problem of the role of warriors in a peaceful society. No warriors, and the society goes under before more aggressive ones. But the skills and attitudes of war-fighting are different than the ones valued in peacetime, However, a society run by the warlike would not function very well.. So warriors tend to become alienated from the peaceful societies they protect.
In real life, warriors aren't immortal. If they were, the alienation might be worse -- it's bad enough today for World War Two veterans, who know that the grand struggle of their lives is now just history to most people. What would it be like if veterans of the American Civil War or the Revolutionary War were still alive?
Luna is timelost. The world of her youth is gone forever, and she must live in a strange new one. And this was true even before she was banished.
The same in some ways is also true for Celestia, of course. She's just better at hiding it.
So, yeah -- I'm glad to see that someone else gets it
5456917 Yeah, so am I...
