Our heroes (Famosity, Quill Weave, Show Off and Snap Shot) have been sent to aid the troops on the Eastern border of Equestria. While the thick mud threatens to drag down their spirits, Quill's hopes are buoyed by the thought of finally being with his marefriend again. But when the eager lieutenant begins to go stir crazy for the love of his girl, his actions put the lives of his friends in jeopardy.
Note: This is not based on the book/movie 'Saving Private Ryan'. This is an original work.
Warning: OC heavy. Also has companion stories and prequels; they aren't required to understand the story, but they may help in explaining the circumstances. See the author's blog for complete list.

I have a Saving Private Ryan pony fic. No offense, and not to be self-centered, but I think it's a tweensy bit better.

lol, this is in no way based on that story. Also Nathan Fillion is best Ryan.
444553 No, it really isn't. This is an original work, your story, baring that which had to be changed to make accommodations for ponies, is just a retelling of the movie (and poorly at that, wrong sandbox for over an over-Hollywood-done war flick). Less than ten percent of it is in any way an original.
Not saying this is a good story or well done, it does fall short in a few areas, but it is an okay read.
447246 Thank you. Where do you think it needs polishing?
