Gonna be following this story to the end, I can't wait to see what the dastardly secret is!

This is really well written! :rainbowkiss:

Really? I figured it wasn't... :unsuresweetie:

4830698 dont beat yourself up, this is a good story. and by the way RAINBOW IS BEST WONDERBOLT!

This is very well written! A few minor typos, but who cares? Definitely liking and favoriting!

Hey, thanks man!

Do you think you can point out the errors so I can correct them?


4839111 The errors are highlighted in red

The sun shined brightly on the day of the ceremony at the main square of Rainbow Dash's hometown, Cloudsdale.

Should be shone.

Spitfire looked long and hard into Rainbow Dash' eyes, almost like she was testing the new person.

Should be pony. Lots of writers on here make that mistake.

She finally became the one thing that she wanted to be forher entire life.

This is not technically incorrect, but the sentence would flow a lot better if you removed this..

This young mare has gave everything she could to make it into the Wonderbolts.

Should be given.

5."She haswon many competitions as a flyer in her childhood years, and broke more records in our Wonderbolt academy than anypony else.

Remove has. broke should be has broken

6.

That was sure to seal the fact that she was the real deal; not some washed up pegasus wannabe that just wanted to be in the Wonderbolts for fame.

No real error, but I would add just between not and some, change that to who, and just to only.

7.

She also realized that she was not the type of pony to actually give a speech in front of a large number of people in the same place.

Perhaps it's just my preference, but I think kind should be changed to type. It sounds better.


Sweat poured down as she felt herself getting hotter by the minute with anxiousness.

Change to anxiety.

"You got something to prove to these people here. Tell them that you can do it. It's not like you're lying to them."

See #2

She was waiting for this moment all her life and she couldn't even speak any words!

a. Replace with 'had been.' b. Remove these two words.

She recognized the voice instantly and found out what she wanted to say immediately.

Revised version: She quickly recognized the voice, and instantly found her words.

Rainbow respected his decision, but it only left her wondering.

Revised version: Rainbow respected his decision, of course, but she was still curious.

Thank you all for the support you have gave me, and more. Thank you."

Change to given.

"Do you really think that was it?

Change to 'did.'

There was display cases showing the previous Wonderbolts of several different generations, with the same uniforms they wore when they were Wonderbolts.

Revised version: There were display cases portraying the previous generations of Wonderbolts, wearing the respective uniforms from their era.

"Yo, how's it goin? Whatcha doin' all by yourself, man?" Soarin replied drunkingly.

Change to 'drunkenly.'

She stared at the door was she heard approaching footsteps

Change to 'as.'

She never thought about it before, but now that the moment has finally came, she realized there would be little for time for the small filly.

Change 'came' to come, remove 'for.'

She realized that she would have to take days off. The Wonderbolts was important; Scootaloo was even more important.

Revised version: No, she couldn't abandon Scootaloo like that. She would simply have to take days off to make time for her.

"Do I really have these many fans?"

Change to 'this.'

Yep. Now you can show those kids whose boss.

Should be who's.

Rainbow Dash's heart stopped.

Change to 'skipped a beat.'


I guess found more than 'a few typos' as I said before. I'm sorry if this was really long, but my brain is like.. a scanner, scanning for mistakes. I hope I'm not being too critical, and that this will help you, because it took a long time. I don't know you got my PM, but I saw your post about needing an editor for this story. If you haven't already found someone, I would be honored to do it for you.

4839515

I don't think I received it, but that would be amazing!

Thanks for the analysis, and I would like you as my editor!

4977171

4973584

:pinkiehappy:

4972468 Oh, quite all right. It turned out wonderfully without my help.

Cancelled? Damn, I really wanted to know the Wonderbolts secret..

5694728

Working on a new project. Don't worry, there will be way more chapters this time around as I am pre-writing them instead of writing a chapter and then immediately releasing it.

5694734 Will keep an eye out for it.

It was a secret we mortals were never meant to know... :pinkiecrazy:
